| Zusammenfassung: | Robert Orsi’s argument that religion, more than a system of "meaning making," is a "network of relationships between heaven and earth" helps us understand what is at stake in imitation for early Christians. The question for Orsi is not, "What does it mean to imitate Paul?" as much as it is, "In what kind of relationship is one engaged when one imitates Paul?" Christians argue over both what to imitate (Who is Paul?) and how to imitate (How should Christians relate to Paul in order to be like him or to render him present?). The what has received lots of scholarly attention; this paper focuses on the how. I compare the range of possibilities of how to imitate Paul by focusing on three influential accounts of mimesis: Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite (ekstasis), John Chrysostom (ekphrasis), and Gregory of Nyssa (epektasis). |
