Lim, James Chun Kiat. "Glory as power in Paul's Epistle to the Romans." Thesis, Durham University, 2016. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/11910/.
Full textAbstract:
The subject of “glory”, used to translate the Greek term δόξα, has been relatively neglected in Pauline scholarship. Due to the wide semantic range of δόξα, the few studies on glory in Paul’s epistles have focused on certain aspects of it, such as its association with honour, effulgence or immortality. Although the association of glory with power has been noted by classical and biblical scholars, it has not been explored in detail within the Pauline corpus, particularly Romans where the connection is immediately evident in Romans 1:18-21 and 6:4. This study attempts to address this lacuna by exploring the relationship between glory and power in Romans by: (1) focusing on the concept of glory through paying attention to δόξα and other terms that are closely related to it, in particular honour and shame language, and (2) examining it from both Jewish and Graeco-Roman backgrounds since both traditions were probably influential on Paul’s Roman audience. Our exploration of the correlations of glory with power in the Graeco-Roman and Jewish traditions demonstrates the centrality of glory/honour in the ancient Mediterranean world, with glory/honour often denoting or connoting power. Glory is often a function of power, and power a function of glory/honour, such that the two mutually reinforce each other. This provides insights into the ways in which they could have shaped Paul’s understanding of their relationship. Our journey of glory through Romans traces the variegated connections between glory and power, under the categories of divine, human, eschatological and communal glory/power, and across a wide range of Pauline theological themes, providing fresh insights into Paul’s theology of glory and his arguments in Romans.

In England, 1532‐1649 was an era during which questions about obedience to rulers dominated ethical discussions. Most English people also respected biblical authority for governing certain behaviors. Obedience was central to the monarchy’s survival and the Bible was central to reformation of an English Church laden with medieval accretions. St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans 13:1‐7 was the most important biblical passage for understanding the Christian’s relationship to civil authority during this period, and interpreters had such high regard for biblical authority that the backing of this passage was crucial to the acceptance of any political theory that involved ideas about obedience or disobedience. Though eisegesis was not out of the question as a technique among these interpreters, societal and political circumstances motivated most exegetes to examine the text more closely than they might have if St. Paul’s meaning had been irrelevant. These conditions led to creative handling of the text that permitted the exegetes to continue to submit to biblical authority while advocating their varied opinions on obedience to civil authority. Some interpreters moved outside the constraints of traditional views of monarchy and obedience to develop a theory that God mediated his call to rulers through those who elected them. Acceptance of this theory finally brought about rejection of divine right monarchy, as symbolized by the execution of Charles I in 1649. By too quickly concluding that these English expositors merely sought biblical justification for their views after the fact, scholars have failed to appreciate how Romans 13 positively shaped Reformation views of the Christian’s relationship to the state. As the title suggests, this study will examine the discernable shift from seeing Romans 13:1‐7 as a text that commands non‐resistance to rulers to one that not only permits disobedience, but requires it. Thus, Romans 13 is not simply an influential political text, but stands as the most important political text of the period under consideration. This dissertation supplies a needed analysis of representative exegesis of Romans 13:1‐7 during this critical period of English history and considers the influence of these expositions on the development of republian ideals.

Turchin, Sean A. "Introducing Christianity into Christendom : investigating the affinity between Søren Kierkegaard and the early thought of Karl Barth." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/5461.
Full textAbstract:
The Swiss theologian Karl Barth’s (1886-1968) relation to the Danish thinker Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) is one which has been touched upon repeatedly with regard to influence and parallels. It is an issue that has produced diverse conclusions ranging from that of T. F. Torrance, who believed Barth to have been influenced by Kierkegaard to an extent even unknown to himself, to the likes of Bruce McCormack who views the affinity as exaggerated. However, this intriguing relationship refuses a conclusive position regarding the extent to which Barth had been influenced by Kierkegaard; any attempt that seeks to resolve this question disregards both the complexity of Barth’s thought and the sheer range of thinkers who had contributed to his theological development. Moreover, Barth’s own comments on the influence of Kierkegaard on his development complicate the investigation into the relationship between the two. Whereas in 1922 Barth admits a dependence on Kierkegaard in the second edition of The Epistle to the Romans, by 1963 he has assumed a more cautious relation to Kierkegaard.

Full textAbstract:
Entre 394 et 396 après J-C, saint Augustin d’Hippone forma le projet d’écrire un commentaire de l’Épître aux Romains de saint Paul. Il en rédigea seulement un premier livre, où il commente les sept premiers versets de l’épître, puis examine la question du blasphème impardonnable contre l’Esprit Saint. Nous présentons ici ce texte. Notre thèse comporte d’abord une introduction générale, qui situe l’oeuvre dans son contexte historique et théologique, et discute de sa réception. Puis nous fournissons une édition critique (avec traduction française) du texte : l’édition, sur la base de 25 manuscrits et 5 éditions imprimées, est précédée d’une présentation détaillée de ses sources, d’un stemma justifié, et d’un commentaire des choix ecdotiques. Vient enfin un commentaire détaillé de tout l’ouvrage, qui a pour buts principaux d’éclairer les passages difficiles du texte, de noter ses particularités linguistiques, et d’expliquer sa pensée par référence au corpus augustinien et à la tradition patristiqueBetween AD 394 and 396, St. Augustine of Hippo undertook the project of writing a commentary on St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans. He completed only one book of this, providing a commentary on first seven verses of the epistle, along with an examination of the question of the unforgivable blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. I present this text here. My thesis begins with a general introduction, which situates the work in its historical and theological context, and discusses its reception. I then provide a critical edition (with French translation) of the text: the edition, based on 25 manuscripts and 5 printed editions, is preceded by detailed presentation of sources, a stemma with supporting arguments, and a commentary on editorial decisions. Finally, I provide a detailed commentary on the whole work, whose main aims are to elucidate the text’s difficult passages, to note its linguistic particularities, and to explain its contents with reference to the Augustinian corpus and patristic tradition

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur l’usage du terme σήμερον (« aujourd’hui ») en Luc-Actes (vingt-deux occurrences), dans la correspondance paulinienne (Romains 11.8 ; 2 Corinthiens 3.14, 15) et dans l’épître aux Hébreux (1.5 ; 3.7, 13, 15 ; 4.7 [à deux reprises] ; 5.5 ; 13.8). Elle accorde une importance particulière à la possibilité de l’influence de l’ « aujourd’hui » du Deutéronome dans le Nouveau Testament. Deux hypothèses principales sont au cœur de cette étude. D’une part, celle de la thématisation, dans le Deutéronome comme dans les trois corpus néotestamentaires envisagés, du mot « aujourd’hui » : dans chaque cas, ce terme acquiert le statut de thème théologique à part entière. En effet, ses divers emplois démontrent un travail de réflexion sur « l’aujourd’hui ». D’autre part, celle d’une influence deutéronomique commune : les trois écrivains néotestamentaires sont conscients des attaches théologiques de l’aujourd’hui deutéronomique. Ils transposent volontairement et diversement ce motif vétérotestamentaire à la lumière de l’événement Jésus-Christ. En fin d’enquête, on constate que l’aujourd’hui lucanien, l’aujourd’hui paulinien et l’aujourd’hui de l’épître aux Hébreux, tout en conservant des accents qui leur sont propres, contribuent tous à mettre en valeur les mêmes concepts théologiques clés, parmi lesquels figurent l’accomplissement de l’Écriture, l’eschatologie en cours de réalisation, l’avènement du salut, l’annonce de la bonne nouvelle et la proclamation de la parole de DieuThis dissertation examines the use of the term σήμερον (“today”) in Luke-Acts (22 occurrences), the Pauline letters (Romans 11:8; 2 Corinthians 3:14, 15) and the Epistle to the Hebrews (1:5; 3:7, 13, 15; 4:7 [twice]); 5:5; 13:8). It gives special attention to the possible influence of the Deuteronomic “today” in the New Testament. Two main hypotheses are at the heart of this study. First, the word “today,” in Deuteronomy as well as the three New Testament corpora under consideration, becomes a theological theme of its own. In effect, it is argued that its various occurrences reveal the presence of reflective work on “the today.” Second, in the minds of the three New Testament authors who give attention to this motif, there seems to be an awareness of certain theological associations that are bound up with the Deuteronomic “today.” In diverse manners, they intentionally transpose this Old Testament motif in the light of the Christ event. By the end of this investigation, it becomes apparent that Luke’s today, Paul’s today and the today of the Epistle to the Hebrews, while each possessing unique characteristics, all contribute to emphasize the same key theological concepts, such as the fulfillment of Scripture, an inaugurated and progressively realized eschatology, the coming of salvation, the heralding of the good news and the proclaiming of God’s Word

Forman, Mark, and n/a. "The politics of inheritance? : the language of inheritance in Romans within its first-century Greco-Roman Imperial context." University of Otago. Department of Theology and Religious Studies, 2007. http://adt.otago.ac.nz./public/adt-NZDU20080128.161919.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an exploration of the extent to which Paul�s terminology of Inheritance [(...)] in Romans, and its associated imagery, logic and arguments, functioned to evoke socio-political expectations that were alternative to those which prevailed in contemporary Roman imperial discourse.
There are two parts to this study. The first is to take seriously the context of Empire and the claims being made by the Roman Empire in the first century. In particular, what were some of the messages conveyed by the Roman Empire with regard to the structure and purpose, the hopes and expectations, of first-century society? The Christians in Rome were daily exposed to the images and message of Caesar and his successors and there is therefore a need to consider how Paul�s language of Inheritance would have sounded within this environment.
Second, this study gives attention to the content of Paul�s use of the word "inheritance" as it occurs in Romans. In order to address this question, three interrelated ideas are explored. First, for Paul, what does the inheritance consist of? The traditional understanding is that the concept is an entirely spiritualised or transcendent reality. This study proposes a more this-worldly, geographical nature to the word. Second, there is the closely related question of the political nature of inheritance. If it is the case that the language of inheritance has to do with the renewal of the land, then who inherits this land? These two questions raise a third issue-how will the inheritance transpire? Paul�s inheritance language contributes to notions of lordship, authority and universal sovereignty for the people of God. Conceivably, the path to this dominion could mirror the hegemonic intentions of imperial Rome which envisages the triumph of one group of people (the strong) over another (the weak). Is this the case with Paul�s inheritance language, or does it somehow undermine all claims to power and control?
There are five undisputed uses of [...] and its cognates in Romans-Rom 4:13, 14; Rom 8:17 (three times) and there is one textual variant in Rom 11:1 where the word [...] is used in place of [...]. This study finds that, to varying degrees in each of these texts, the inheritance concept is not only a direct confrontation to other claims to rule, it is also simultaneously a reversal of all other paths to lordship and rule.
This study then considers the use of the concept in the two other undisputed Pauline letters where it occurs (Galatians and 1 Corinthians) and also in the disputed letter to the Colossians. The overriding impression is that there is nothing in Galatians, 1 Corinthians or Colossians which significantly challenges the this-worldly, political nature of the language of inheritance in Romans. In these epistles and in Romans Paul employs the language and politics of inheritance in order to subvert the message of Empire.

Bailey, Daniel Peter. "Jesus as the Mercy Seat : the semantics and theology of Paul's use of Hilasterion in Romans 3:25." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 1999. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/251694.
Full textAbstract:
Paul's predication of the term 'hilasterion' of Jesus combined with his mention of Jesus' own blood leads modern interpreters to speculate that 'hilasterion' was a term that could denote a sacrificial victim-hence: "whom God put forward as a 'sacrifice of atonement' by his blood" (Rom 3:25, NRSV). But this is unsupported by the Greek sources. This dissertation examines all the known occurrences of 'hilasterion' outside biblical and Byzantine Christian sources, of which there are about eight-half of them new to this study. All can be glossed by "(sc. 'anathema) propitiatory gift or offering'" (LSJ). Since 'hilasterion' never designates a sacrificial victim, the NRSV lacks support. Its meaning would rather be expressed by 'hon prosenengken' (not: proetheto) 'ho theos hilasterion thusian' (cf. P. Fay. 337). The tendency to parallel Rom 3:25 and 4 Mace 17:22 (codex S) is also misguided. Obviously the phrase 'to hilasterion tou thanatou autwn' (referring to the martyrs) cannot mean "the victim of their death." The background is rather to be sought in the normal Greek practice of offering durable propitiatory gifts (not victims) to the deity-hence: "their death as a 'propitiatory votive offering'." Paul's use of 'hilasterion' is rooted not in the Greek but in the biblical world. Here 'hilasterion' refers most famously to the "mercy seat," the golden plate with the cherubim above Israel's ark of the covenant. Philo saw the mercy seat as "a symbol of the gracious power of God" (Mos. 2.96; cf. Fug. 100). Paul applies this symbolism to Jesus because it makes him the centre not only of 'atonement' for sin (Leviticus 16) but of the 'revelation' of God (Exod 25:22; Lev 16:2; Num 7:89). The terms 'dikaiow' and 'apolutrwsis' in Rom 3:24 pick up the language of the exodus (esp. Exod 15: 13) and enable Paul to present Jesus as the centre of the ideal sanctuary (cf. Exod 15: 17).

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo investigar de que forma Paulo faz emergir das Escrituras Sagradas um pensamento sobre a linguagem, com foco em suas cartas aos romanos e aos coríntios. Testa-se a hipótese de que comparece ali uma perspectiva de linguagem pragmática. Dar-se-á ênfase especial a dois aspectos interligados: o modo como Paulo aborda, através de metáforas, a presença das metáforas nas Escrituras; e o modo como a questão do indizível e o gênero apofático se manifestam nas suas epístolas. Nas análises do presente estudo mostra-se que (a) apesar de haver passagens em que a metáfora é colocada no discurso tal qual uma espécie de ornamento, como um meio de obter o entendimento e a atenção dos ouvintes, conforme prevê a clássica teoria aristotélica, com a tensão letra x espírito, o apóstolo vem romper com o primado da literalidade e do significado próprio da palavra, em diversos momentos nos quais a metáfora, muito mais que agente de um impacto estético ou retórico, aparece como um recurso que permite uma aproximação indireta com Deus – o que permite entrever nos escritos paulinos elementos de teorias posteriores da metáfora, onde é tomada como fenômeno fundante; (b) ao tratar do tema do divino, Paulo lhe atribui sua característica de inefabilidade, consoante alguns pensadores gregos que lhe antecederam, porém, em seu discurso, a indizibilidade pode sair do campo do incognoscível e ser sondada pelas criaturas, contanto que se libertem da letra que mata, pois através do espírito o homem pode conhecer a Deus – que é Espírito – face a face; (c) tornar o indizível cognoscível, pela atividade do espírito, não significa, absolutamente, torná-lo dizível.
The present work aims to investigate in what way Paul makes a perspective of language emerge from the Scriptures, focusing on his Epistles written to the Romans and Corinthians. It is tested the hypothesis that there is a pragmatic perspective of language in these Epistles. Special emphasis is given to two interconnected aspects: the way with which Paul approaches, using metaphors, the presence of metaphors in the Scriptures; and the way that the issue of the unspeakable and the apophatic genre manifest in his Epistles. The analyses of selected passages shows mainly that (a) although there are passages in which metaphor is put in the discourse as a kind of ornament, or lure, as a way of obtaining the understanding and attention of listeners, just as classic Aristotelic theories predict, the Apostle, with the tension between letter and spirit, breaks away from the ideas of the primacy of literalness and intrinsic word meaning, in many occasions where metaphor, considered not only as mere agent of aesthetic or rhetoric impact, appears as a resource that enables an indirect approach to God – which is something that brings Paulo’s perspective closer to later theories of metaphor in which it is taken as a founding phenomenon; (b) in order to approach the theme of the divine, Paul attributes to it the characteristic of ineffability, in accordance with some Greek intellectuals who preceded him; however, in his discourse, the unsayable can part off with the unknowable and be probed by humans, as long as they free themselves from the letter that kills, once only through the spirit men can know God – who is Spirit – face to face; (c) rendering the unspeakable acknowledgeable, through the activity of the spirit, does not mean, unquestionably, making it sayable.

Doutoramento em LiteraturaEsta dissertação tem como objectivo primeiro o estudo da família de Cícero àluz da informação veiculada pela extensa colecção de cartas (epistulae) que o autor escreveu (e recebeu) em meados do século I a.C.. Divide-se o trabalho em três partes: I. A família romana; II. A família em Cícero; III. A família de Cícero. Porque a definição e caracterização da família romana tem suscitado acesas discussões, na primeira parte, faz a autora uma síntese das teorias que mais recentemente têm surgido nesta matéria. Focam-se essencialmente quatro aspectos, abordados em capítulos distintos: no primeiro, os termos utilizados pelos Romanos para referir ‘família’ — familia e domus — e os diferentes significados que, dependendo do contexto, podiam assumir; no segundo, a elasticidade estrutural que caracterizava a instituição familiar romana e suas implicações na definição da mesma como um organismo aberto e dinâmico; no terceiro, os mecanismos de constituição e reestruturação da família romana, inerentes implicações legais e sua aplicação na prática quotidiana; no quarto, os elementos que podiam integrar a comunidade familiar romana, suas funções e tipos de relacionamento que, com mais ou menos simetria, mantinham entre si. A segunda parte, estruturada em capítulo único, concentra-se no estudo do conceito ciceroniano de ‘família’. Partindo de alguns passos de tratados filosóficos e da correspondência do autor, reflecte-se sobre a importância que, para o autor, assumia a instituição familiar no seio da sociedade romana, os termos por ele utilizados para a referir, os elementos que, na sua perspectiva, dela podiam fazer parte, a estrutura da comunidade familiar em que se inseria o epistológrafo e o papel fundamental que ela assumia na sua vida. Dedica-se a última parte da dissertação ao estudo da família de Cícero. Combase no texto das epistulae — sendo que nelas se encontram inscritos osprincipais acontecimentos que fizeram a história desta família — analisa-se o modo como o epistológrafo interagia com cada um dos restantes membros dafamília. Capítulos distintos contemplam o seu relacionamento com as esposas,a filha, o genro, o filho, o irmão e o sobrinho, e o seu liberto preferido. A partir desta análise, conclui a autora da representatividade da família de Cícero enquanto família da elite política romana de finais da República. Da dissertação constam ainda uma introdução e uma conclusão, a bibliografia, dividida entre edições e comentários e estudos, bem como os índices geral e de nomes e lugares.
This dissertation seeks to study Cicero’s family in light of the information provided by the wide letter-collection (epistulae) written (as well as received) by the author around I B.C. This study is divided into three parts: I. The Roman family; II. Family in Cicero’s works; III. Cicero’s family. Since the definition and characterization of the Roman family has sparked academic debate, in the first section we have supplied an overview of the most recent theoretical approaches concerning this matter. We have mainly focused on four aspects, each being dealt with in distinct chapters: firstly, we have sought to analyse the terms employed by Romans to refer to ‘family? – familia and domus – and the variable meanings that, according to context, they could convey; in the second chapter, we have accounted for the structural flexibility that defined the Roman family institution, hence turning it into an open and dynamic organism; in the third chapter, we have dealt with the mechanisms involved in the constitution and restructuring of the Roman family, their inherent legal implications and their application in daily practice; in the fourth, we have focused on the elements that could be incorporated within the Roman family community, their respective functions and the types of more of less symmetrical relationships they kept among them. The second section, which comprises a single chapter, deals with the Ciceronian concept of family. Through close analysis of some excerpts selected from the author’s philosophical treatises and letters, we discuss the relevance he assigned to the family institution within the Roman society, the terms he used to refer to it, the elements that, according to his viewpoint, could be incorporated into it, the structure of the family community the epistolographer was part of, and the crucial role it played in his life. The last section of the dissertation is primarily concerned with the study of Cicero’s family. Having selected the epistulae –for in them one finds the record of the key events pertaining to this family’s story – we have sought to recreate the way the epistolographer interacted with each one of the family members. Separate chapters are devoted to describing his relationship with his wives, his daughter, his brother-in-law, his son, his brother and his nephew, as well as with his favourite freedman. This in-depth analysis has allowed some conclusions to be drawn, as to the representative status of Cicero’s family when viewed as a Roman political elite family, living around the final years of the Republic. This dissertation further includes an introduction, a conclusion, and an extensive bibliography (organized into text editions, commentaries and studies), as well as a general index, a name index and a place index.
Ce travail a pour objectif central l’étude de la famille de Cicéron, à la lumière del’information véhiculée par un vaste ensemble de lettres (epistulae) que l’auteur a écrites (et reçues), vers le milieu du Ier siècle av. J.-C.. Nous l’avons divisé en trois parties: I. La famille Romaine ; II. La famille chez Cicéron ; III. La famille de Cicéron. Etant donné que la définition et la caractérisation de la famille romaine ont suscité, depuis toujours, de vives discussions, nous avons procédé, dans la première partie, à une synthèse des théories plus récentes, parues dans ce domaine. Cette partie traite essentiellement quatre aspects, chacun correspondant à un chapitre distinct: dans le premier, les termes employés par les Romains pour désigner la famille – familia e domus – et les différents sens qu’ils pouvaient prendre selon le contexte; dans le deuxième, l’élasticité structurelle qui caractérisait l’institution familiale romaine et ses implications dans la définition de celle-ci en tant qu’organisme ouvert et dynamique; dans le troisième, les mécanismes de constitution et restructuration de la famille romaine, les implications légales inhérentes et leur application dans la pratique quotidienne; dans le quatrième, les éléments qui pouvaient intégrer la communauté familiale romaine, leurs fonctions et les types de rapports qu’ils entretenaient entre eux, avec plus ou moins de symétrie. La deuxième partie, structurée en un seul chapitre, se concentre sur l’étude du concept cicéronien de ‘famille’. Partant de quelques extraits de traités philosophiques et de la correspondance de l’auteur, notre réflexion porte sur l’importance que prend, selon l’auteur, l’institution familiale au sein de la société romaine, les termes qu’il utilise pour la désigner, les éléments qui, selon lui, pouvaient en faire partie, la structure de la communauté familiale dans laquelle s’insérait l’épistolier et le rôle fondamental qu’elle occupait dans sa vie. La dernière partie de cette thèse est consacrée à l’étude de la famille de Cicéron. Partant du texte des epistulae – et sachant que les principaux évènements de l’histoire de cette famille y sont clairement inscrits –, nous analysons l’interaction de l’épistolier avec chacun des autres membres de la famille. Des chapitres distincts traitent ses rapports avec ses épouses, sa fille, son beau-fils, son fils, son frère et son neveu, ainsi qu’avec son affranchi préféré. Au terme de notre analyse, nous sommes à même d’affirmer la représentativité de la famille de Cicéron en tant que famille de l’élite politique romaine, à la fin de la République. Notre travail comprend encore une introduction et une conclusion, la bibliographie, divisée en éditions, commentaires et études, ainsi que les index: général, de noms et de lieux.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation reads the Pastoral Epistles alongside imperial propaganda, monumental inscriptions, and philosophical writings of the Roman period to determine how claims to piety (Greek: εὐσέβεια, Latin: pietas) advanced socio-political aims and reinforced cultural values and ideological assumptions among its audiences. Coins celebrating the pietas of the imperial households of Trajan and Hadrian, the honorary inscription of Salutaris in Ephesus, and the writings of Philo and Plutarch evidence that appeals to piety functioned rhetorically to naturalize hierarchies of power and social orders, recognize the honorable status of citizens, signal expertise in knowledge about the divine, and delineate insiders from outsiders. Moreover, the prevalence of appeals to piety indicates the virtue’s broad cultural currency and prestige, which was traded upon for legitimating authority. This dissertation argues that the author of the Pastorals strategically deploys piety in his attempt to negotiate an imperial situation marked by prejudicial perceptions of Christians as a foreign and seditious superstitio, to reinforce (gendered) social values, to intervene in Christian debates over the status and authority of benefactors in the ekklēsia, to build confidence in and solidarity around the legitimacy of his vision of the ideal ekklēsia, and to denigrate the beliefs and practices of rival teachers.

Full textAbstract:
La tesi verte sull’attività politica e filosofica di Seneca. Si dimostra che Seneca fu un politico, che fece uso della proprie conoscenze filosofiche come di un instrumentum regni, prima, quando fu il maestro di Nerone (durante il cosiddetto Quinquennium felix), in seguito, quando compose le Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium. Con questo corpus di lettere Seneca ambiva a fornire un’educazione etica ai futuri leaders politici, che avrebbero dovuto governare conformemente alla filosofia stoica. Inoltre, nella tesi si dimostra che Seneca considerava la poltica come un instrumentum philosophiae, in quanto attraverso l’attività politica la contemplazione filosofica si volge in azione, che guida l’esistenza umana. La seconda parte della tesi fornisce un commento lemmatico, filosofico, storico e stilistico, dell’Epistula 94.1-51. In questo testo Seneca esprime la propria visione progressita della vita individuale e sociale. Suggerisce inoltre di guardare a lui come all’Agrippa di Età neroniana, impegnato a combattere contro la decadenza morale di Roma. Seneca ci consegna anche la chiave di accesso alla comprensione del Principato neroniano, con particolare attenzione posta alla Domus Aurea.This thesis focuses on Seneca’s political and philosophical work. I show that Seneca was a politician who made use of his philosophical knowledge as an instrumentum regni, before, when he was Nero’s tutor (during the so-called Quinquennium felix), after, when he wrote his Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium. With his body of letters, he aimed to provide ethical education to future political leaders ruling according to Stoic philosophy. Moreover, this thesis shows that Seneca regarded politics as an istrumentum philosophiae, as through politics philosophical contemplation turns into action, directing human life. The second part of this thesis provides a lemmatic philosophical, historical and stylistic commentary of Seneca’s Epistula 94.1-51. In this letter Seneca confers his progressive view of individual and social life. He also suggests to us to regard himself as the Neronian Agrippa, busy fighting against moral decadence in Rome. He also gives us the key to understand the Neronian Age, in greater detail the Domus Aurea.

Este trabalho propõe uma análise de cinco romances do autor moçambicano Mia Couto, publicados no período de 2000 a 2009. Fazem parte do corpus os seguintes títulos: Mar me quer (2000), O último voo do flamingo (2000), A varanda do Frangipani (1996), O outro pé da Sereia (2006) e Antes de nascer o mundo (2009). A proposta consiste em verificar a representação da escrita – a palavra no papel – constituída pelo gênero epistolar – a carta, assim como o diário, o bilhete e o caderno de anotações, elementos constantes nos romances que constituem o corpus do trabalho. A representação da escrita por intermédio dessas formas é recorrente na maioria dos romances de Mia Couto e também elemento partícipe em inúmeros contos, seja como motivo, seja como tema, seja como elemento de constituição. Observou-se a singularidade do autor que, mesmo quando dá ênfase para a escrita, mostra como essa sofre um processo de imbricamento com a oralidade. Tentou-se ficar atento a questões que envolvem as personagens que empregam a escrita. Faz-se necessário destacar a importância do autor e sua obra para a literatura moçambicana, assim como seu ativismo na constituição e divulgação da cultura de seu país, quebrando arquétipos criados sobre o continente africano. Dialogou-se com críticos literários e estudiosos da literatura africana de língua portuguesa, dentre os quais destacamos: Ana Mafalda Leite, Patrick Chabal, Maria Fernanda Afonso, Manuel Ferreira e José Pires Laranjeira. Para dar conta da análise das missivas empregamos Carlos Reis, Michel Foucault e Mikhail Bakhtin. Sobre a realidade moçambicana, contou-se com Valdemir Zamparoni, José Luís Cabaço e João Carlos Colaço.The present work proposes an analysis of five novels by the Mozambican author Mia Couto published between 2000 to 2009. The corpus embraces the following novels: Mar me quer (2000), O último voo do flamingo (2000), A varanda do Frangipani (1996), O outro pé da Sereia (2006) and Antes de nascer o mundo (2009). The proposal is to examine the representation of writing – the word on paper – consisting of the epistolary genre – letters, as well as diaries, notes, and notebooks, information contained in the novels that composed by the corpus of work. The representation of writing through these forms is indeed recurrent in most of Couto´s novels and also element participant in numerous tales, either as a motive, either as theme, either as constitutive element. It is noted the uniqueness of the author who, even when he emphasizes writing, undergoes a process of imbrication with orality. We tried to pay attention to issues involving the characters who use writing. It is necessary to highlight the importance of the author and his work within the Mozambican Literature, as well as his activism in the creation and dissemination of the culture of his country, breaking archetypes created about the African continent. Dialogue is undertaken with literary critics and Luso-African Literature scholars, among which we name: Ana Mafalda Leite, Patrick Chabal, Maria Fernanda Afonso, Manuel Ferreira and José Pires Laranjeira. For the analysis of missives, are employed theories by Carlos Reis, Michel Foucault and Mikhail Bakhtin. About the Mozambican reality, we counted with authors such as Valdemir Zamparoni, José Luis Cabaço and João Carlos Colaço.

Full textAbstract:
Notre étude consiste à mettre l’accent sur l’avènement d’Hélisenne de Crenne-écrivain et sur la genèse d’une trilogie, variée, par sa diversité discursive, générique et énonciative. La première partie de ce travail porte essentiellement sur l’hétérogénéité du triptyque hélisennien. Pour mettre en garde les lecteurs contre les dangers du désir charnel, Dame Hélisenne imite, expérimente et innove les textes-sources (la Flammette de Bocace, le Peregrin de Caviceo, les Ad familiares de Cicéron, le Opus de Conscribendis epistolis d'Erasme et le Songe de Scipion). Elle cherche constamment de nouvelles formes d’écrire (roman sentimental, épîtres, allégorie) pour séduire le lecteur et confirmer son elegantia et son érudition. La deuxième partie se focalise, quant à elle, sur l’analyse des variations de l’amour et ses répercussions sur le personnage féminin. Pour ce faire, Dame Hélisenne recourt à l’emphase pathétique (le style piteux), juxtapose les genres et les registres, multiplie les figures de pensée et les exempla et s’exerce en « œuvres viriles » afin de défendre la cause féminine, revaloriser le statut de la femme-écrivain ; et prouver son savoir et son évolution intellectuelle, dans une culture humaniste dense et riche. La troisième partie est enfin centrée sur la production, la publication et la réception de ces textes singuliers, révélateurs d’une double quête identitaire et unitaireOur study focuses on the advent of Hélisenne de Crenne-écrivain and the genesis of a trilogy, varied in its discursive, generic and enunciative diversity. The first part deals with the heterogeneity of the Hélisenne triptych. To warn readers against the dangers of carnal desire, Dame Hélisenne imitates, experiments and innovates the source texts (the Flame of Bocace, the Peregrin of Caviceo, the Ad familiares of Cicero, the Opus de Conscribendis epistolis of Erasmus and the Dream of Scipio). She is constantly looking for new forms of writing (sentimental novels, epistles, allegory) to seduce the reader and confirm her elegantia and erudition. The second part focuses on the analysis of the variations of love and its circumstances on the female character. In order to do this, Dame Hélisenne resorts to pathetic emphasis (the pitiful style), juxtaposes genders and registers, multiplies figures of thought and exempla, and exercises herself in "virile works" in order to defend the feminine cause, revalue the status of the woman-writer; and prove her knowledge and intellectual evolution, in a dense and rich humanist culture. Finally, the third part focuses on the production, publication and reception of these singular texts, revealing a double quest for identity and unity

Full textAbstract:
Notre thèse a comme point de départ la discussion critique d’un concept donné pour acquis par les spécialistes de la littérature et de la philosophie antiques. Il s’agit de la diatribe cynico-stoïcienne, ainsi nommée parce qu'elle ferait coexister des motifs cyniques et des thèmes stoïciens. Nous commençons par évaluer l'exactitude de la définition largement admise qui met la diatribe en relation avec toute une tradition d’argumentations relevant de la philosophie morale vulgarisatrice. Puis nous justifions notre choix d’accepter, en cherchant à les intégrer, certains acquits scientifiques récents, visant à défendre la diatribe comme un genre relevant de la méthode de direction spirituelle à l’intérieur des écoles philosophiques d’origine socratique, avec un accent particulier sur la situation d’énonciation maître-disciple. De ce genre littéraire controversé, d’origine grecque, nous analysons le passage à la latinité en examinant tout d’abord le problème terminologique, puis celui du cadrage philosophique. Parmi les procédés, définis comme diatribiques, nous nous intéressons à la seule caractéristique qui ne paraisse pas être mise en question et qui pour cette raison précisément pourrait servir de fondement à l’existence du genre même : le dialogisme et la présence d’un interlocuteur fictif. Nous concentrons ensuite notre attention sur l’œuvre de Sénèque, et notamment sur Les Lettres à Lucilius où la situation d’énonciation maître-disciple est intensément visible et dans laquelle la présence de l’interlocuteur fictif est structurellement liée au développement de cette relation. Nous passons ensuite à l’étude des formes diatribiques de la satire romaine afin d’aborder les cas de Lucilius, Horace et Perse. Un bref exposé est finalement consacré à l’analyse des relations entre la diatribe, la Seconde Sophistique et la prédication religieuseThe starting point of our thesis is the critical discussion of a concept taken for granted by literary and ancient philosophy scholars. This is the cynic-stoic diatribe, so named because cynical themes would coexist with Stoic ones. Our first step is assessing the accuracy of the widely accepted definition, which makes the connection between the diatribe and a tradition of topics relating to moral popular philosophy. Then we explain our choice to accept and to try to integrate recent scientific acknowledgments which accept the diatribe as a literary genre relating to the spiritual guidance method of the Socratic philosophical schools, with a particularly attentive focus on the relationship between master and disciple. Starting from this controversial genre of Greek origin, we analyze the transition to the Roman period, by first examining the terminological aspect and then the philosophical framing. Among the methods, defined as diatribic, we focus on the only feature which does not appear to be challenged and that for this exact reason could be the basis of the existence of the genre itself: dialogism and the presence of a fictitious interlocutor.We then focus our attention on Seneca's work, and particularly on Letters to Lucilius, where the attempt to create a master-disciple relationship is intensely visible, and in which the presence of a fictitious interlocutor is structurally related to the development of this relationship. Then we discuss the diatribic forms of Roman satire, to reach Lucilius', Horace's and Persius' cases. A brief presentation is finally devoted to the analysis of relations between the diatribe, the Second Sophistic and the religious preaching

Gabrielson, Jeremy. "Paul's non-violent Gospel : the theological politics of peace in Paul's life and letters." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/1889.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis advances a claim for the centrality of a politics of peace in early Christianity, with particular focus given to the letters of Paul and the Gospel of Matthew. In brief, I argue that Paul’s task of announcing the gospel to the nations involved calling and equipping assemblies of people whose common life was ordered by a politics (by which I mean, chiefly, a mode of corporate conduct) characterised by peaceableness, and this theological politics was a deliberate participation in the political order announced and inaugurated by Jesus of Nazareth. To this end, there are three main components of the thesis. Chapter Two is focused on the Gospel of Matthew, particularly the way in which violence (and peace) are constructed by the evangelist. Chapter Three bridges the first and third components of the thesis, attending to the important question of the continuity between Jesus and Paul on the issue of non-violence. The third component involves two chapters. Chapter Four attempts to identify the trajectory of violence and peace in Paul’s biography and in the “biography” of his Galatian converts (as he portrays it), and the fifth chapter traces the presence of this non-violent gospel in (arguably) Paul’s earliest letter. The intended effect is to show that a politics of non-violence was an early, central, non-negotiable component of the gospel, that its presence can be detected in a variety of geographical expressions of early Christianity, that this (normally) “ethical” dimension of the gospel has a political aspect as well, and that this political dimension of the gospel stands in stark contrast to the politics of both the contemporary imperial power and those who would seek to replace it through violence.

Full textAbstract:
This paper will look at the interpretation and translation of ἀρσενοκοῖται (1 Cor 6:9) in the list of people who will not inherit the kingdom of God. The word is mentioned in 1 Cor 6:9-10, and it has been translated in ways going from “homosexual”, “men who lay with men” and “sodomite” to “a man who lets others use himself or who uses others for debauchery” and “pedophile”. By looking at the views on sexuality, and male same-sex sexuality in particular, pertaining the Greco-Roman society and the Jewish culture contemporary to Paul, and also paying attention to the textual context as well as the context of the congregation in Corinth, the study has its aim set on finding what the word might have denoted to the first readers in the congregation in Corinth, and to Paul. The goal, then, is not to find a translation of the word ἀρσενοκοῖται that is literal, but to find one that is as close to a dynamic equivalent as is possible. This goal will, hopefully, be attained by giving the translation to the modern reader that is the one most likely to connote the same ideas and emotional connotations as the Greek word did in its original context. As the meaning of words change with time and context, there is a need for a translation that can bridge the gap created by that shift of meaning. Building that bridge in the case of ἀρσενοκοῖται is the goal of this paper. When the meaning, or meanings, that is found most likely to have been attained by the ancient readers is found, there will be a critical evaluation of some of the modern translations (and some a bit older) of the word in 1 Cor 6:9 to see if there already exists a translation that can be said to reach the goal of dynamic equivalence, given the meaning that is found most plausible in this paper. The study will argue that that is not the case, and therefore also propose a new translation, one that is argued to be closer to dynamic equivalence than those that has been evaluated. This translation is ”Men who sexually exploit men to gain social powers”.Denna uppsats undersöker översättningen och tolkningen av ordet ἀρσενοκοῖται, det ord som avslutar 1 Kor 6:9 och är del av en lista över dem som inte kan ärva Guds rike (6:9-10). Ordet har översatts på olika sätt genom tiderna, med förslag som sträcker sig från “homosexuella”, “sodomiter”, “män som ligger med män” till “en man som låter utnyttja sig eller utnyttjar andra till osedlighet” och “pedofiler”. Genom att titta på hur sexualitet, och främst då manlig homosexualitet, sågs i den grekisk-romerska och judiska kontexten på Paulus tid, samt studera ordets litterära kontext och församlingens kontext i Korint, är målet att utröna vad ἀρσενοκοῖται bar med sig för betydelser och konnotationer för Paulus och de första mottagarna i Korint. Vad ett ord betyder är inte alltid statiskt över tid och rum utan förändras ofta, om än gradvis. Det riskerar därför att uppstå en klyfta mellan det som ordet från början innebar samt uppfattades som att det innebar, och hur det uppfattas idag. Den här uppsatsens mål är att överbrygga den klyftan för ἀρσενοκοῖται genom att ta reda på vad det grekiska ordet innebar i sin ursprungliga kontext och sedan ge en översättning som på bästa möjliga sätt ger en modern läsare konnotationer som i högsta möjliga grad stämmer överens med de konnotationer som de antika läsarna fick när de mötte ordet. Detta innebär alltså att målet inte är att ge en bokstavlig översättning av ἀρσενοκοῖται, utan en dynamisk ekvivalent översättning, där läsaren så långt det är möjligt får möjligheten att uppfatta det de första läsarna uppfattade. När den, eller de, meningar det är mest troligt att ordet bar med sig i sin ursprungliga kontext är konstaterade, kommer en kritisk utvärdering utifrån den slutsatsen göras av ett antal moderna översättningar (och några lite äldre), för att se om det finns en existerande översättning som uppnår dynamisk ekvivalens. Det kommer visa sig att så inte är fallet, och en ny översättning kommer därför att föreslås: ”Män som sexuellt utnyttjar män för att vinna social makt”.

Full textAbstract:
This study considers Thomas Hoccleve’s role, throughout his works, as a “religious” writer: as an individual who engages seriously with the dynamics of heresy and ecclesiastical reform, who contributes to traditions of vernacular devotional writing, and who raises the question of how Christianity manifests on personal as well as political levels – and in environments that are at once London-based, national, and international. The chapters focus, respectively, on the role of reading and moralization in the Series; the language of “vice and virtue” in the Epistle of Cupid; the moral version of Chaucer introduced in the Regiment of Princes; the construction of the Hoccleve persona in the Regiment; and the representation of the Eucharist throughout Hoccleve’s works. One main focus of the study is Hoccleve’s mediating influence in presenting a moral version of Chaucer in his Regiment. This study argues that Hoccleve’s Chaucer is not a pre-established artifact, but rather a Hocclevian invention, and it indicates the transnational literary, political, and religious contexts that align in Hoccleve’s presentation of his poetic predecessor. Rather than posit the Hoccleve-Chaucer relationship as one of Oedipal anxiety, as other critics have done, this study indicates the way in which Hoccleve’s Chaucer evolves in response to poetic anxiety not towards Chaucer himself, but rather towards an increasingly restrictive intellectual and ecclesiastical climate. This thesis contributes to the recently revitalized critical dialogue surrounding the role and function of fifteenth-century English literature, and the effect on poetry of heresy, the church’s response to heresy, and ecclesiastical reform both in England and in Europe. It also advances critical narratives regarding Hoccleve’s response to contemporary French poetry; the role of confession, sacramental discourse, and devotional images in Hoccleve’s work; and Hoccleve’s impact on literary tradition.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the meaning and function of the theme of judgment according to works in the epistle to the Romans. It may be summarized with two theses: First, in Romans 1:18-3:20, the judgment motif primarily functions to make a universal accusation of sin and guilt which lays the foundation for Paul's doctrine of justification by faith. Second, within the argument of Romans, justification by faith is an alternative, saving approach to the positive recompense of the final judgment. Two other functions of the motif are also identified in the letter. In Romans 3:1-8 the theme of judgment functions to make a defense of the righteousness of God. This passage also confirms my argument that judgment functions as an accusation against the Jewish people in 2:1-29, because it answers objections to that accusation. Finally, in Romans 14:1-23 the theme of judgment according to works functions to make an exhortation to the Christian community at Rome. In this passage Paul is confident that his Christian audience will stand at the judgment because of the saving work of God.

Karl Barth (1886-1968) is considered to be the twentieth century’s most prominent theologian. Barth is outstanding because his contributions to the Christianity for carrying on the past heritage and opening up the future opportunities. Through emphasizing “the Revelation of God” in the Bible, on the one hand Barth reversed the direction of Christian theology three centuries before his time, led Christian churches to return back to the mission of preaching the Christ-centered gospel; on the other hand, Barth’s theology also deeply affected many great theologians in his contemporary, which also generated many positive impacts on Christianity and further influenced the societies outside of the church. In 1919, Barth published “The Epistle to the Romans” first edition. The book shocked the European theologians, and was likened to “a bombshell thrown into the playground of the theologians.” It was recognized as an epoch-making works. However, in 1921, Barth totally rewrote “The Epistle to the Romans” for its second edition. This book made Barth really famous and had far-reaching influence on Christian theology. It also served as the foundation work of the Barth’s theology. Since the publication of this book, Barth’s theology was known as “dialectical theology” and “crisis theology.” This thesis is to focus on the chapters 9-11 in “The Epistle to the Romans” to reflect the criticism given by Barth to churches. Through the themes which Barth had discussed: why churches encounter catastrophes? Subsequently, what are the guilt churches commit? Why the guilt of the church is the crisis of knowledge of God? And what is the hope of the church amid her tribulation? In these three chapters, Barth presented his Christological ecclesiology. Hopefully, through this thesis, research interests on Barth’s theology can be aroused among Chinese churches. So every individual church can hear the Word of God through His servant Karl Barth. Let churches be renewed by Holy Spirit, and be strengthened to witness for Jesus Christ in this eschaton.

A compact,facile and systematic hermeneutical approach is to be established in light of generalizing and popularizing the incentive of daily personal Bible studying and interpretation for Chinese Christians so as to conceive and apply the cognitional and empirical outputs to reality-based questions or problems to daily life on the basis of fundamental cognition conforming without too much aid of demanding academic or professional sine qua nons thus enabling it with style and efficacy along with being more playful to study into the revealing Scriptures. The above-said operation system is also about to be demonstrated onto the comprehension, translation, and interpretation of Pauline letter to the Romans from whose arguments saturated through the very system most engaged Chinese readers can be poised for accounting various issues recurring in their community-, ethnic-, as well as culture-oriented surroundings.

Anyone familiar with the Rastafari movement and its connection with the Bible
is struck by the prevalence of I-locution found in them both. Because the phenomenon is important in the canonical Testaments, more so the New, this study seeks to investigate its significance in certain epistolary pieces (Romans 7 :14-25 ; 15 :14-33), the bio-Narratives and the Apocalypse, in their historical and cultural milieu.
The next stage of the investigation then compares the findings of the aforementioned New Testament books with corresponding statements of the Rasta community to determine their relevance for the ongoing Anglophone theological discussion. In this connection, the following questions are addressed: (1) what are the inter-textual link(s) and function(s) of the `I' statements in Romans? (2) How do they relate to similar dominical sayings? And (3) can any parallel be established between the language of Rastafari and these?
In sum, the study seeks to bring into critical dialogue the permutative `I' of the NT with the self-understanding of Rastafari.NEW TESTAMENT

Durch Bestimmung und Zuordnung eschatologischer Einzelmotive zu ethischen Weisungen wird die These erhoben, dass eschatologische Motive primär der Begründung exklusivethischer Mahnungen dienen, wenngleich sie auch bei inklusiv-ethischen Themen zum Einsatz kommen.Zugleich zeichnet sich ab, dass das (von Paulus charakterisierte)ethisch-moralische Versagen und die Hoffnungslosigkeit der Heiden sowie die Hoffnung und der ethische Anspruch an Christen in Korrelation zueinander stehen.
This thesis examines how Paul’s ethical teaching is determined by his eschatology. Based on a survey of Hellenistic-Roman expectations regarding the hereafter and their potential ethical implications, this study examines 1 Thessalonians, 1 Corinthians and Romans in order to understand the relation between ethics and eschatology. By identifying and matching individual eschatological motifs with ethical directives the thesis proposed that eschatological motifs are primarily utilized as the foundation for exclusive ethical exhortations, although they also appear in the context of inclusive ethical issues. At the same time, it becomes clear that the moral-ethical depravity and hopelessness of the Gentiles (as they are characterised by Paul) as well as hope and the ethical demands on Christians on stand in correlation with each other

Reformation is set in the 16th century, and it is a revolution about ideology and literature. In 16th-century Germany, scholars valued classics and religious translation from Latin into German. To oppose the trade in indulgences and corruption of the Roman Catholic Church, Martin Luther, the theologian, initiated the Reformation in 1517 by publishing 95 Theses. Next Luther moved to translate the Bible, the New Testament in 1522 and the full Bible in 1534. Luther adapted the idiomatic expressions to translate the Scripture. Because of his “first people’s bible”, it became the opening shot for the Reformation, and it also helped build up the foundation of modern German. The Bible is a treasury that includes literature, history and religion, and contains some famous chapters: the Psalms, the Epistle to the Romans, the Revelation etc. This essay puts the emphasis on the letter written by Apostle Paul, the Epistle to the Romans, where Paul preaches religion to the Romans. Many Christian scholars in history were influenced by Paul’s letter. The influence of “Justification by faith alone” is deeply seated in Luther’s mind, and this kept him translating the full Scripture. In 20th century-translation theories, the emphasis is diverted from transforming the language into the relationship between translation and culture. Due to the concept of “Cutural Turn”, Belgian scholar André Lefevere established the Perspective of Manipulation Theory, and in this theory he claimed three factors have bearing on the production of translation─ ideology, poetic and patronage. In this research paper, three different Luther Bibles are compared and analyzed according to this theory in order to discover the factors influencing the translated text and depending on these results to realize that translation is subject to many restrictions.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to illuminate Seneca’s criticisms of Neronian Rome through a novel exploration of the philosopher’s collection of moral letters – the so-called Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium. Noting the glaring absence of court politics in these letters the thesis identifies themes of dissimulation and veiled criticism, penned by Seneca in a concealed manner to ensure his safety during a time of dire political unrest. The first chapter establishes the cultural context of this collection by examining how they fit in with the practice of elite Roman letter writing. This line of inquiry stems from a longstanding question in the scholarship as to whether the Epistulae Morales are letters in the earnest sense, or merely a literary-philosophical exercise contrived by Seneca. The chapter concludes that the letters can be seen as genuine, exchanged with their addressee. They were, however, also written for the wider senatorial class who are clearly the subject of Seneca’s moral discussions. The second chapter examines the circumstances which preceded the writing of these letters in order to identify points of political tension under Nero’s reign. Drawing on the Neronian books of Tacitus’ Annals and earlier Senecan treatises, this chapter identifies themes of political ideology (clemency, libertas, tyranny, superbia) which shaped the ongoing altercations between senate and emperor during Nero’s rule. With the political tensions identified, the third chapter unearths the underhanded ways in which Seneca criticises Nero’s reign throughout the letters. Additionally, this chapter showcases a range of techniques employed by Seneca to disguise his criticisms in order to maintain deniability and avoid persecution. The fourth and final chapter examines Letters 14 and 18 in detail, illustrating the techniques discussed in the preceding chapter and bringing to light Seneca’s veiled criticisms of Nero’s regime. The pair of case studies demonstrates that Senecan criticisms are present throughout the collection, and are apparent in both letters with overt political themes (eg. Letter 14) and those which are, at first glance, seemingly mundane and commonplace (eg. Letter 18).Thesis (MPhil) -- University of Adelaide, School of Humanities, 2021

Full textAbstract:
The Roman Emperor Trajan, who ruled the Roman Empire from 98 CE – 117 CE has always been remembered as one of the good Emperors. The few ancient sources that mention Trajan, namely Pliny the Younger and Cassius Dio, compose a glowing portrait of the Emperor when describing his deeds and abilities. Part of the explanation for such a positive portrayal can surely be accounted for by the comparison of Trajan to one of his predecessors Domitian (who ruled from 51 CE – 96 CE). Domitian came to be memorialized as one of the most hated Emperor of the Principate, especially because of his scornful and suspicious attitude towards the Senate and his pillaging of the Roman provinces for the purpose of his own profit. In a time when the empire was expanding and expert diplomatic and strategic capability was necessary for an Emperor to possess, Domitian’s shortcomings were particularly harmful to Rome and her subjects. Thus when Trajan took control, many Romans must have looked to him to continue the improvements initiated by Domitian’s brief successor Nerva and repair the damage done to the empire.
Pliny the younger, an influential and wealthy senatorial aristocrat, was one such Roman who looked to the new Emperor with hope and ambition for better times. During Pliny’s tenure as governor of the province of Bithynia and Pontus from roughly 110-112/3 CE, he exchanged many letters with Trajan which were subsequently collected and published as the tenth book of Pliny’s Letters. These letters generally take the form of advice sought by Pliny about the governance of the province, followed by a concise reply from the Emperor directing Pliny’s actions (or, at times, suggesting that Pliny himself choose the best way to proceed). Previous scholarship has primarily addressed the letters as a “self-fashioning text” (cf. Carlos Noreña and Philip Stadter, among others), but generally ignores the very active role Pliny plays in carefully constructing a particular representation of Trajan. Using this correspondence as a platform on which to create an image of the Princeps, Pliny expertly invents a particular portrait of Trajan that portrays the Emperor as a master at senatorial relations and management of the provinces. By allowing Trajan to perform this role, as is evidenced in the letters of Book 10, Pliny creates our most complete and compelling portrayal of this Emperor which serves both Pliny and Trajan’s interests for posterity.text
