“Women in Philosophy and the Agon Motif in 1 Corinthians 9.” Perspectives in Religious Studies 36.1 (Spring 2009).

Abstract

The continual involvement of women in philosophy indicates that leading women in the Corinthian community would have been well-positioned to interact with Paul’s notion of self-control in 1 Cor 9.24-7. The literary evidence shows a long heritage of women participating in philosophy, particularly among the privileged. The patronesses who supported the early churches were therefore perfectly positioned to engage with several elements of Paul’s rhetoric, particularly the application of his notion of self- control in 1 Cor 9.24-7.

For some reason, it's not available on database searches like WorldCat or ATLA religious serials, so most people searching for it won't find it. An unrevised version is available on my blog.

It's so cool to go to the library and see your work!

Please give your best wishes for the publication of my dissertation, "Reading 1 Corinthians with Philosophically Educated Women."

Thanks! I just got chapter one approved and two and three will be done soon.

Four, five, and six will take some work - but I think I'll be done by December.

December? How many pages do you estimate it to be? Have an idea?

December? How many pages do you estimate it to be? Have an idea?

I dunno. Somewhere between 400 and 600 pages, depending on what is cut out.
