This dissertation, Paul and Image: Reading First Corinthians in Visual Terms, presents a study of Paul's first letter to the Corinthians in the context of a long-standing critical discourse on visual representation. To this end, this study begins by defining the parameters of this critical visual discourse in Greek and Roman philosophical literature, which begins with Plato's paradigmatic critiques of visual arts as inimical to "truth" and good polity in the Republic and writing and painting as defective interlocutors in the Phaedrus. From Plato's seminal critiques, this study traces the critical discourse on visual representation as occasions of appropriation and rejoinder in writings contemporaneous and subsequent to Paul, namely Philo of Alexandria's Embassy to Gaius (ca. 41 CE), Dio Chrysostom's Twelfth (Olympia Oration (ca. 97-105 CE), and Lucian of Samosata's The Hall (ca. 160 CE). In the light of this critical discourse on visual representation, this study identifies and examines several visual themes within First Corinthians as occasions of appropriation and rejoinder to doubts and suspicions raised by Plato: Paul's critique of human speech and wisdom in 1 Cor 1-2 as related to opposing schemes of orality and visuality; "idols" in 1 Cor 8 and 10 as visual representations of "gods" and "lords"; and the visual aspects of bodily transformation, namely the earthly "wearing" the image of the heavenly, in Paul's discourse on the resurrection in 1 Cor 15. Further, this study extends these text-based insights to an examination of critical interactions between First Corinthians and images in the visual environment of first-century Corinth, such as portraits of the emperor Augustus and his family and sculptures of Olympian deities wearing chthonic garb. In summation, this dissertation advances the thesis that First Corinthians is a visually-oriented text which developed philosophical judgments on the veracity of visual representation in ways that informed and attempted to direct the critical view of its ancient correspondents.
