Stigmata and the Pressure of Interpretation
Stigmata and the Pressure of Interpretation

Summary/Abstract: In Galatians 6:17, Paul’s στίγματα are not simply marks as such, they are τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, of Jesus. This special journal edition investigates Paul’s supplied meaning to his bodily marks, together with subsequent readings of the remark in Late Antiquity. Though our ancient authors are spread out in different languages and locations across the ancient Mediterranean, these articles allow us to see the shifting theological function of bodily trauma in each context, together with the fraught burden of interpretation.
