No Child Left Behind: Knowledge and Violence in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas

Recent studies have discerned a wide gap between the apparently low opinion of education in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas and the high regard for paideia under Rome. I shall argue instead that the Infancy Gospel of Thomas expresses ambivalence toward paideia . The extracanonical gospel describes the childhood of Jesus in episodes that gesture to the productive and troubling consequences of the widened flow of Greek culture under Rome. Like other writings of the period, the Infancy Gospel of Thomas is attuned to the routine brutality of imperial justice and education. The article has two specific goals: first, to put the gospel in relation to important cultural problems of the day, and second, to shed light on the gospel’s classroom episodes. The unruly and violent star of the narrative fashions new knowledge that mimics tradition: he is almost but not quite a student of paideia , almost but not quite a student of the “law.”

Character and Convention in the Letters of Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History

Letters inserted into Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History can be interpreted fruitfully within the context of the usage of embedded letters in imperial Greek literature. Elite Greek narrative texts regularly attributed letters to famous Greeks of the past in order to model elite convention and to reveal heroic character. Similarly, Eusebius’ subtle and manipulative reproduction of letters by past Christians foregrounds these Christians as exemplars of proper ecclesiastical conduct. Eusebius’ letters represent wide communication, harmonious resolution of differences, and conformity to past Christians’ conduct as essential to Christian identity, particularly in his narratives of the paschal and rebaptism controversies. Eusebius presented epistolary conventions so as to render Christian character acceptable to elite Greek-speaking audiences.
