Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 2001.

This dissertation offers a study of religious values with regard to how religious tradition is maintained when in conflict with social convention. Specifically, it concerns how Christian exorcism overcame stigmas of magic and superstition as it extended into Greek and Roman areas of Christian mission. Using an historical-critical methodology, the dissertation argues for three principal factors at work in confirming the exorcist's place in religious society: cultural adaptation (Near Eastern influences on Greek and Roman thought and practice), a tradition of exorcism founded upon authoritative scriptural example, and innovative theological interpretations applied to that tradition. The dissertation proposes that the exorcist's role was adapted in part by Christianity's interpreting demonic possession relative to the concept of divine possession long familiar to Greco-Roman sensibilities. Early Christians found a suitable metaphor to express this correlation in the doctrine of the Two Ways, which itself had literary antecedents both in earlier Greek literature and in Christianity's own scriptural tradition.
