This dissertation examines the role that fasting played in establishing, negotiating, and adjusting the position of the individual within the early Christian community, thereby reinforcing or altering the structure of the community.

Recent scholarship has lain to rest the assumptions of an earlier generation that early Christian fasting arose from a dualistic worldview that saw the physical body as an evil that must be defeated by rigorous asceticism. The work of Peter Brown and others has shown that, far from being body-hating, early Christians saw the body as both the venue of temptation and the locus of redemption. Through fasting, Teresa Shaw has claimed, the Christian began refashioning this sin-prone body into a paradisiacal condition that would only be fully realized in the eschaton.

This dissertation suggests, nonetheless, that fasting was concerned not only with the refashioning of the physical body, but also with the recreation of the social body. Building on the theoretical models of anthropologists such as Claude Levi-Strauss and Mary Douglas and on the research of historian Caroline Walker Bynum, this dissertation examines the implications of fasting on the structures of the community. To accomplish this, it examines three related types of early ascetic literature: Patristic writings, Brehon law, and Irish Penitentials.

The dissertation concludes that early Christian fasting as constructed in these texts accomplished two related tasks. First, fasting established and reinforced the hierarchy of the community. Church Fathers created a new type of elite, one not based upon wealth and family position, but upon rigorous asceticism, including fasting. Similarly, Irish penitential fasting required one to acknowledge the authority of the confessor over one's life, yielding one's most basic needs to that person. In both cases, fasting reinforced the very legitimacy of the monastic or ecclesiological hierarchy.

Nevertheless, fasting also provided persons the means to leverage their social standing. From the coercive power of troscad described in Irish Law to the remedial fasting of the Evagrian, Cassianic, and penitential traditions, writers saw in fasting a means to establish and advance one's social position within the established hierarchies of the community.
