520 |a In the apocryphal Acts of Thomas, the apostle Thomas is presented as a stranger (xenos, peregrinus). The present article explores how in the late Roman rewritings of the ancient Acts, the position of the apostle as an outsider is highlighted as an essential part of his role in the process of conversion and Christianisation. Whereas previous publications in Apocrypha have signalled Thomas' identity as a “stranger” (xenos) and his appeal to his converts to become “strangers” with him in the ancient Acts of Thomas (Drijvers 1990, Myers 2006), the Latin rewritings of this apocryphon are at the centre of the present contribution. These texts give a detailed account of the way the apostle, as an outsider, transforms the cities of his mission area from within into Christian communities. The Latin rewritings of the Acts of Thomas thus form a representation of a paradoxical approach to the binary opposition of insider and outsider, presenting Thomas emphatically as a “stranger” as opposed to civis. At the same time, the Passio Thomae (BHL 8036) in particular emphasises in an elaborate digression the way the apostle grants his converts an inalienable share in a new civic identity, which concerns both life in the Christian community on earth and, eschatologically, life in the heavenly city.
