Description

In the first century CE, the Jewish Jesus, his followers, and the Pythagorean Apollonius journeyed widely, each to spread their good news. Spectral Lives by Luke and Philostratus: Journeying of Holy Men argues that the biographers, Luke and Philostratus felt ethically compelled from divine specters to show and tell that good news to help their world. Post-Enlightenment developments in historiography have expanded understanding of ancient texts with a “third dimension,” a “transhuman habitat” evident in ancient texts. In this book, Robert Lee Williams investigates how affect theory has sensitized interpreters to emotional responses.
