DesCamp, Mary Therese.

Faith and politics, metaphor and meaning: "Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum" and literary methods through a cognitive lens. - 431 p.

Coordinator: John C. Endres.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Graduate Theological Union, 2004.

This study encompasses a comparison of the findings of contemporary cognitive theory with those of narrative and rhetorical methodologies, and an application of cognitive methodology to Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum. The final cognitive reading is more stable and systematic than either literary method, and provides new insights into Pseudo-Philo's use of women to explicate theology and ideology.

520 $a This study encompasses a comparison of the findings of contemporary cognitive theory with those of narrative and rhetorical methodologies, and an application of cognitive methodology to Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum. The final cognitive reading is more stable and systematic than either literary method, and provides new insights into Pseudo-Philo's use of women to explicate theology and ideology.
520 $a The first chapter summarizes current research on LAB, showing the wide range of scholarly opinion concerning Pseudo-Philo's view of women; the second outlines the contemporary understanding of cognition. I argue that in order to understand a text as the original audience did---without an anachronistic 21st century lens---one must bring the unspoken assumptions behind metaphor and cognitive blending to consciousness.
520 $a Chapter Three and Four examine Robert Alter's narrative theory and Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca's new rhetoric through the lens of cognitive theory. Points of similarity between cognitive blending and these methods are shown, as well as the places where literary theories are unable to adjudicate differences in interpretation.
520 $a Chapter Five---in seven sections---addresses just how LAB, as "rewritten Bible," acquires unconscious authority. Sections One through Four argue that the primary purpose of "biblical-style language" is to invoke authority for the text's point of view, and show how a given character's re-shaped biblical metaphors and prophetic quotations endow that character with power. Sections Five and Six contend that cognitive analysis shows that success in Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum depends on assertion of God's power, and one's own---or the community's---sinful state. Good intentions are the key to right action and God's approval.
520 $a The final section uses cognitive analysis to argue that LAB has redefined the meaning of mother, thus empowering Jewish women to instruct their community on the application of biblical tradition. Cognitive studies show that women illustrate as well as articulate LAB's central theology and ideology. This methodology is capable of clarifying and marrying seemingly contradictory scholarly views.
