Previously thought to reflect exercises in exegesis or instruction in virtue, the lessons include 300 authentic student questions, demonstrating that grammar in late antiquity was based not on Homer or Menander, but on the Old Testament. Blossom Stefaniew argues that these lessons constitute an unusual instance of non-confessional reading and study of the Bible, directed at conveying general knowledge of the linguistic, moral, physical and social orders to young people. Grammar was about knowledge of the general order of things, not only how to read and speak well, but how to behave properly and know what is appropriate. Didymus's work epitomizes this transformation of education and civic culture, raising a claim that language, comportment, and common sense were governed by a Christian order. By reanalyzing the paradigms of religion and pedagogy, Christian Reading intervenes in existing scholarship by focusing on the history of Christianity as part of the history of reading, study, and scholarship"--Provided by publisher. 630 00 $a Bible. $p Old Testament $x History. $x History. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85013770 600 00 $a Didymus, $c the Blind, $d approximately 313-approximately 398. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n50078862 600 07 $a Didymus, $c the Blind, $d approximately 313-approximately 398. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01815830 630 07 $a Bible. $p Old Testament. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01808092 650 0 $a Greek language $x History $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Manuscripts, Greek (Papyri) $z Egypt. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107352 650 7 $a Greek language $x Grammar. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00947212 650 7 $a Manuscripts, Greek (Papyri) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01008356 651 7 $a Egypt. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208755 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stefaniw, Blossom, author. $t Christian reading $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2019] $z 9780520971929 $w (DLC) 2019007490 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017020655.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DBD771980C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
