KOTROSITS, Maia. Rethinking early Christian Identity. Affect, Violence, and Belonging

Publication at Hussite Theological Faculty |
2019

Abstract

In her work, Maia Kotrosits examine several texts that you found in a group of early Christian texts - the New Testament Apostolic Acts, 1 Gospel of Peter and John, the Apocryphal Gospel of Truth and The Secret Revelation of John, and Ignatius of Antioch - by affective reading. As the name of this method suggests, he intends to focus on their emotional background.

The primary purpose of this work is to use this method to clarify the inadequacy of the concept of early Christianity in relation to verified texts and the expected way you can understand without this concept.
