Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The last days before Easter are called Holy Week or Passion Week in most Christian calendars. The early history of these pre-paschal days is, however, obscure, and their historiography leaves much to be desired. This is particularlytrue of Holy Week observance in late ancient Constantinople. Was there even something that could be called a Holy Week in the imperial capital? The relative silence of liturgical handbooks regarding these days have led some liturgical scholars to give a negative answer to that question. This article revisits the problem, but approaches it from a different angle: What do hymns written for the week before the celebration of the resurrection tell us? Focusing on Monday to Wednesday, the present study demonstrates that singers and congregations intoned remarkable and dramatic songs between Palm Sunday and Maundy Thursday. Yet, rather than bewailing the imminent crucifixion or praising the resurrection, the hymnographers labored to read existential struggles of life and death in the sexual bodies of the congregated late ancientcity dwellers.

Literary Criticism in Early Christianity : How Heracleon and Valentinus Use One Passage to Interpret Another
- 2019
-
In: Journal of early Christian studies (Print). - : Project Muse. - 1067-6341 .- 1086-3184. ; 27:1, s. 27-53
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Following the lead of ancient heresiologists, modern scholars have all too often viewed Valentinus and Heracleon as representatives of a unified sectarian group whose interpretations of early Christian literature were determined by a shared set of "heretical" views. Arguing that the exegetical methodology of early Christians may be better understood if viewed within the larger context of Greco-Roman literary criticism, this article studies how Valentinus and Heracleon use one passage of early Christian literature to illuminate another, and compares this practice to the principle of Aristarchus, which states that Homer should be clarified from Homer.

The Search for Confessors at the Council of Nicaea
- 2011
-
In: Journal of early Christian studies (Print). - : Project Muse. - 1067-6341 .- 1086-3184. ; 19:4, s. 589-599
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article examines the weak evidentiary basis for the claim of Timothy Barnes and other scholars that maimed confessor bishops “enjoyed enormous authority” at the Council of Nicea. An analysis of five late ancient Christian authors demonstrates that there is no corroborating “proof” for Barnes’s claim. Nevertheless, the apparent growth of traditions about confessors in later fifth-century witnesses is noteworthy for the recognition of a confessor’s standing in the post-Constantinian church.
