Roman Domestic Art and Early House Churches (Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen Zum Neuen Testament) - Hardcover
Synopsis
In contrast to most studies of earliest Christianity that focus on texts, David Balch inquires into the visual world of the culture in which early Christians lived and worshipped. Jews and Christians outside Israel lived in Greek and Roman houses and apartment buildings. During earlier Republican and later Imperial periods, artists painted frescoes on the walls of their patrons' houses. Beginning in the mid-1700s, archaeologists began unearthing brilliantly colored domestic paintings, often of Greek (rarely of Roman) myths and tragedies, especially in Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Rome. The author inquires how visual representations seen daily might influence the understanding of Jewish and Christian scriptures read and heard in those same spaces as well as the meaning of rituals performed in domestic worship. Scenes from the tragedies of Euripides as well as visual representations of contemporary gladiatorial games make suffering, sacrifice, and death surprisingly present in Roman houses, themes not first introduced by Christian preaching or the Eucharist. Further, David Balch includes not only recent studies of domestic art, but also of Roman domestic architecture (domus and insulae) by British (Wallace-Hadrill), American (Clarke, Leach), German (Zanker, Dickmann), and Italian (Maiuri, Pappalardo) scholars, studies that affect descriptions of the social history of early Christianity.

Gr.-8°, Ln. m. SU. XXIV, 296 S., mit 86 s/w-Abb. u. 4 Tab. im Text sowie 1 CD-ROM mit 375 Abb. Neubuch / New Copy // Juden und Christen außerhalb Israels lebten in griechischen und römischen Häusern und Wohnhäusern. Während früher republikanischer und später kaiserzeitlicher Epochen malten Künstler Fresken an die Wände ihrer Herrenhäuser. David Balch untersucht, wie visuelle Darstellungen das Verständnis häuslicher Rituale sowie jüdischer und christlicher Schriften, die an diesen Orten gelesen und gehört wurden, beeinflußt haben könnten. Des weiteren untersucht der Autor die römische Architektur und gewinnt damit neue Einsichten in die Sozialgeschichte des frühen Christentums.
