Stoicism in early Christianity(
Book
)
9 editions published in 2010 in English and held by 304 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Highlighting the place of Stoic teaching in early Christian thought, an international roster of scholars challenges the prevailing view that Platonism was the most important philosophical influence on early Christianity. They suggest that early Christians were more often influenced by Stoicism than by Platonism, an insight that sheds new light on the relationship between philosophy and religion at the birth of Christianity

The Beloved Disciple in conflict? : revisiting the Gospels of John and Thomas by
Ismo Dunderberg(
Book
)
20 editions published between 2006 and 2011 in English and held by 246 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Was the Gospel of John written in critical response to the Gospel of Thomas, an early collection of Jesus's sayings? Or was it directed to the Christians among whom Thomas originated? Ismo Dunderberg challenges these views, arguing that the two gospels were written at about the same time but without knowledge of each other. He also offers a thorough discussion of the identity and functions of the enigmatic Beloved Disciple in the Gospel of John, throwing new light on this figure by comparing it to other bèloved' disciples of Jesus in early Christian literature. -- PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION

Gnostic morality revisited by
Ismo Dunderberg(
Book
)
9 editions published in 2015 in English and German and held by 104 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
While the early Christian texts discussed in this book are often treated as "gnostic" ones, they are here approached as witnesses to the views of educated Christians engaged in dialogue with philosophical traditions. Following the idea that ancient philosophical schools provided their adherents with ways of life, Ismo Dunderberg explores issues related to morality and lifestyle in non-canonical gospels and among groups that were gradually denounced as heretical in the church. He deals with the soul's progress from material concerns to a life dominated by spirit, the control of emotions, the avoidance of luxury, the ideal "perfect human" as a tool in moral instruction, classifications of humankind into distinct groups based on their moral advancement, and Christian debates about the value of martyrdom. In addition, he offers a critical review of some recent trends and attitudes in New Testament scholarship

Women and knowledge in early Christianity(
Book
)
3 editions published in 2017 in English and held by 55 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Women and knowledge are interconnected in several ways in late ancient and early Christian discourses, not least because wisdom (Sophia) and spiritual knowledge (Gnosis) were frequently personified as female entities. Ancient texts deal with idealized women and use feminine imagery to describe the divine but they also debate women?s access to and capacity of gaining knowledge. Combining rhetorical analysis with social historical approaches, the contributions cover a wide array of source materials, drawing special attention to the so-called Gnostic texts. The fourteen essays, written by prominent experts of ancient Christianity, are dedicated to Professor Antti Marjanen (University of Helsinki)
