Dissertation Topic
|
I am a PhD Candidate currently writing a dissertation entitled " 'For You Were Bought with a Price': Slaves, Sex, and Self-Control in a Pauline Community". The dissertation is an exploration of 1 Corinthians 7:21-24, a passage that showcases ancient assumptions about ethnicity, social status, and gender. I am particularly interested in the issue of slavery in the ancient world, and the ways in which the earliest Christians reckoned with the institution.
