This Hand is Validation
On five occasions in Pauline literature, the author claims to write in their own hand. In three of the five instances, the autograph is reserved for the final greeting and the greeting alone. In Galatians 6.11 and Philemon 19, however, Paul writes more than the letter's greeting in his own hand, as the comment about his autograph appears well before the closing salutations. This article engages one of these texts, Philemon, and argues that it was…
Aseneth of Egypt
significantly advances the methodological work from her dissertation, "Joseph and Aseneth and Jewish Identity in Greco-Roman Egypt,"1 which has proved to be a pillar of recent Aseneth studies.In the book, she demonstrates that utilizing a textual reconstruction of an "original" version of the narrative is fraught with difficulties and ultimately counterproductive.In place of a reconstruction, she offers the "Aseneth fabula."Ahearne-Kroll also sha…
Between Reading and Performance
In New Testament scholarship, there is a division between practitioners of performance criticism and those who engage the sociology of reading and reading cultures in the ancient Mediterranean context. The former, as the name of their methodology implies, tend to emphasize the performative nature of engaging textual traditions and downplay the importance of the physical document in a performance event. The latter stress the importance of the phys…
Arguing with Aseneth
Jill Hicks-Keeton, Arguing with Aseneth: Gentile Access to Israel’s Living God in Jewish Antiquity (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2018). Pp. 232. £ 64.00. ISBN 978-0-19-087899-3.The central questions that Jill Hicks-Keeton engages in Arguing with Aseneth are whether or not, according to the Hellenistic Jewish narrative Joseph and Aseneth, covenantal outsiders (i.e., Gentiles) can be included in the relationship between the Jewish God and the J…
Joseph and Aseneth
This article argues that whatever else Joseph and Aseneth is and for whatever other reason that it might have been written, the narrative is an entertaining tale. The starting point for this thesis is an assessment of the extent to which Joseph and Aseneth can be characterized as “fan fiction.” The article suggests that because both fan fiction and Joseph and Aseneth are “archontic,” fan theory can profitably inform Joseph and Aseneth. This theor…
On Transcription and Oral Transmission in Aseneth
The purpose of this article is to investigate and elucidate the oral aspects of Joseph and Aseneth . This is to suggest that Joseph and Aseneth had an oral tradition that preceded, and likely also proceeded, the written version(s) that is (are) now extant. The text is best understood using oral hermeneutics. By making this argument I do not postulate any one oral or written genre for the text, nor any argument for how it might have been composed.…
