Description

This study questions the prevailing 'female empowering' interpretation of Thecla in the Acts of Paul and Thecla. Andrious examines the way that Thecla is voyeuristically paraded and subjected to a kind of sado-erotic torture, and shows how this clashes with any notion that she is presented as a positive role-model for a woman.Rather, Andrious sets this discourse about female 'self-control' and 'chastity' over against the wider narrative of Christian men struggling against the invasive violence of Rome and suggests that the victimized, voyeuristic female representation of Thecla has very little to do with women and is, rather, a complex literary text that represents a power struggle between men. The ideological function of Thecla is therefore, as a constructed body that transcends its natural feminine weakness. This study thus provides an original interpretative framework for understanding Thelcas representation and suggests a completely new way of seeing her. Review Saint Thecla is an excellent contribution to studies on apocryphal acts in general and on the Acts of Paul and Thecla in particular. It is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist interpretations of ancient Christian stories. ― Society of Biblical Literature About the Author Rosie Andrious is a Research Associate at Kings College London, UK
