Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Claremont Graduate University, 2010.

This dissertation argues that the literary-rhetorical textures of Acts are best understood when framed within the context of the Second Sophistic, particularly as they relate to the characterization of Paul in the latter half of Acts. Throughout the dissertation, I examine the literary and rhetorical elements of Luke's composition within this broader cultural discourse (i.e. the Second Sophistic) to explore his construction of an authoritative identity for the Christian movement. Luke's negotiation of the politics of identity of the ancient Mediterranean world is embodied in the highly stylized figure of Paul in Acts, who symbolically declaims in a learned manner throughout the text.

520 $a This dissertation argues that the literary-rhetorical textures of Acts are best understood when framed within the context of the Second Sophistic, particularly as they relate to the characterization of Paul in the latter half of Acts. Throughout the dissertation, I examine the literary and rhetorical elements of Luke's composition within this broader cultural discourse (i.e. the Second Sophistic) to explore his construction of an authoritative identity for the Christian movement. Luke's negotiation of the politics of identity of the ancient Mediterranean world is embodied in the highly stylized figure of Paul in Acts, who symbolically declaims in a learned manner throughout the text.
520 $a The first three chapters explore the phenomenon of the Second Sophistic and its relationship to early Christian literature. I develop a sophistic mimetic framework that focuses on the imperative role of mimesis in sophistic discourse, especially as it relates to paideia , cultural authority, archaism, "Greekness," and cultural identities.
520 $a Chapters Four and Five apply this sophistic mimetic framework to Luke's imitation of the Septuagint and classical Greek literature to appropriate their cultural capital as he simultaneously rhetorically subverts to display Paul's paideia. Such subversive mimesis constructs a privileged, hybridized cultural identity for the Christian movement. Chapter Six focuses on Luke's heavy use of the sophistic apologia for Paul's many declamations around the Mediterranean, which display his paideia in the public arena before Jews, Greeks, and Romans.
520 $a Chapter Seven concludes by applying the sophistic mimetic framework to political rhetoric in Acts, which contextualizes the ambiguous nature of Luke's political rhetoric. As in sophistic literature, the text of Acts itself is the locus for the negotiation of cultural identities; its formulation is therein part of the rhetorical playfulness of the text, which does not represent the monumentalized opinion of the author. Acts' negotiation of established identities (Jew, Greek, Roman) through sophistic literary techniques does not provide a definitive statement of his political agenda, but rather constructs cultural capital for the Christian movement by rhetorically configuring it into the cultural landscape of the Greco-Roman world. In this, Acts provides an active voice in the ancient discourse surrounding cultural identity.
