Reconceptualising Conversion: Patronage, Loyalty, and Conversion in the Religions of the Ancient MediterraneanDie Studie nimmt die bisherige Diskussion der Konversion in der Antike neu auf durch eine Verknüpfung von klassischen, epigraphischen und biblischen Quellen mit einer sozialwissenschaftlichen Methodologie. Der Autor hinterfragt dabei die bisher vorausgesetzte psychologische Kontinuität zwischen antiken und modernen Menschen und bietet statt dessen ein Modell, welches an den Denkvoraussetzungen der Antike selbst gebildet wurde. Die griechisch-römischen und mediterranen Religionen und Philosophien - also auch das hellenistische Judentum und das Christentum - orientierten sich an den Modellen von Patronat und Loyalität. Das Verständnis der antiken Konversion muss also hier ansetzen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird auch die "Bekehrung" des Paulus neu gedeutet. |
