| Zusammenfassung: | Callie Callon investigates how some early Christian authors utilized physiognomic thought as rhetorical strategy, particularly with respect to persuasion. Callon shows how this encompassed denigrating theological opponents and forging group boundardies (invective against heretics or defence of Christians), self-representation to demonstrate the moral superiority of early Christians to Greco-Roman outsiders, and the cultivationof collective self-identity. -- The work begins with an overview of how physiognomy was used in broader antiquity as a component of persuasion. Callon then examins how physiognomic thought was employed by early Christians and how physiognomic tropes were employed to "prove" their orthodoxy and moral superiority. Building on the conclusions of the earlier chapters, Callon then focuses on the representation of the physiognomies of early Christian martyrs, before addressing the problem of the acceptance or even promotion of the idea of a physically lacklustre Jesus by the same authors who otherwise utilize traditional physiognomic thought |

READING
BODIES
CALLIE
GALLON INVESTIGATES HOW SOME EARLY
CHRISTIAN
AUTHORS
UTILIZED
PHYSIOGNOMIC
THOUGHT AS RHETORICAL STRATEGY, PARTICULARLY
WITH
RESPECT TO PERSUASION. CALLON
SHOWS HOW THIS ENCOMPASSED DENIGRATING THEOLOGICAL OPPONENTS AND FORGING
GROUP
BOUNDARIES (INVECTIVE AGAINST HERETICS OR DEFENCE OF
CHRISTIANS),
SELF-REPRESENTATION
TO DEMONSTRATE THE MORAL SUPERIORITY OF EARLY CHRISTIANS TO GRECO-ROMAN
OUTSIDERS,
AND
THE CULTIVATION OF COLLECTIVE SELF-IDENTITY.
THE
WORK BEGINS
WITH
AN OVERVIEW OF HOW PHYSIOGNOMY WAS USED IN BROADER
ANTIQUITY
AS A COMPONENT OF PERSUASION. CALLON THEN EXAMINES HOW PHYSIOGNOMIC
THOUGHT WAS EMPLOYED BY EARLY CHRISTIANS AND HOW PHYSIOGNOMIC TROPES
WERE
EMPLOYED TO PROVE THEIR ORTHODOXY AND MORAL SUPERIORITY. BUILDING ON
THE
CONCLUSIONS
OF THE EARLIER CHAPTERS, CALLON THEN FOCUSES ON THE REPRESENTATION OF
THE PHYSIOGNOMIES OF EARLY
CHRISTIAN
MARTYRS,
BEFORE
ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM OF
THE ACCEPTANCE OR EVEN PROMOTION OF THE IDEA OF A PHYSICALLY LACKLUSTRE
JESUS
BY THE
SAME AUTHORS WHO OTHERWISE
UTILIZE
TRADITIONAL PHYSIOGNOMIC THOUGHT.

D.)--University of Toronto (Canada), 2015 under title: Physiognomy as a strategy of persuastion in early Christian discourse Dissertation University of Toronto (Canada) 2015 Revidierte Dissertation Introduction -- Overview of ancient physiognomy and the state of the question -- The physiognomy of a heretic: physiognomic polemic as a component of persuasion in demarcating "insiders" and "outsiders" -- The physiognomy of the (ideal) early Christian -- The physiognomy of a martyr -- "He had neither form nor beauty": the physiognomic curiosity of the negative descriptions of the physical appearance of Jesus -- Conclusions Callie Callon investigates how some early Christian authors utilized physiognomic thought as rhetorical strategy, particularly with respect to persuasion. Callon shows how this encompassed denigrating theological opponents and forging group boundardies (invective against heretics or defence of Christians), self-representation to demonstrate the moral superiority of early Christians to Greco-Roman outsiders, and the cultivationof collective self-identity. -- The work begins with an overview of how physiognomy was used in broader antiquity as a component of persuasion. Callon then examins how physiognomic thought was employed by early Christians and how physiognomic tropes were employed to "prove" their orthodoxy and moral superiority. Building on the conclusions of the earlier chapters, Callon then focuses on the representation of the physiognomies of early Christian martyrs, before addressing the problem of the acceptance or even promotion of the idea of a physically lacklustre Jesus by the same authors who otherwise utilize traditional physiognomic thought Physiognomie (DE-588)4128352-1 gnd rswk-swf Frühchristentum (DE-588)4129954-1 gnd rswk-swf Glaubenszeugnis (DE-588)4067708-4 gnd rswk-swf Religiöse Überzeugung (DE-588)4751439-5 gnd rswk-swf Physiognomy / Religious aspects / History of doctrines Physiognomy / Biblical teaching Church history / Primitive and early church, ca. 30-600 Christianity and culture / History / Early church, ca. 30-600 Evangelistic work / History / Early church, ca. 30-600 Christianity and culture / Early church Church history / Primitive and early church 30-600 History (DE-588)4113937-9 Hochschulschrift gnd-content Physiognomici (DE-2581)TH000002359 gbd Christliche Literatur (DE-2581)TH000005178 gbd Körperlichkeit, Körpergefühl (DE-2581)TH000006108 gbd Physiognomie (DE-588)4128352-1 s Religiöse Überzeugung (DE-588)4751439-5 s Glaubenszeugnis (DE-588)4067708-4 s Frühchristentum (DE-588)4129954-1 s DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, PDF 978-0-5676-8439-4 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-0-5676-8442-4 Library of New Testament studies 597 (DE-604)BV020833698 597 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030894624&sequence=000002&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis SWB Datenaustausch application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030894624&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
