    • Knowledge and Religious Authority in the Pseudo-Clementines

      Situating the 'Recognitions' in Fourth Century Syria

      • 250pages
      • 9 heures de lecture

      Focusing on the rhetorical strategies within the Pseudo-Clementines, Nicole Kelley employs Pierre Bourdieu's sociological framework to explore how the Recognitions shape identity and orthodoxy among fourth-century Christians, Jews, and pagans. The text critiques the knowledge of philosophers and astrologers, positioning Peter and Clement as the sole guardians of prophetic truths from Jesus. This analysis reframes the Recognitions as a coherent narrative that highlights the intricate rivalries among diverse religious groups in regions like Antioch and Edessa.
