Empathy in Antiquity: Sympathetic Emotion in the Ancient Mediterranean World
I am thrilled to contribute to the upcoming volume, Empathy in Antiquity: Sympathetic Emotion in the Ancient Mediterranean World, edited by Courtney Friesen and published by Routledge. My chapter is titled "The Logic, Structure, and Efficacy of Empathy in Paul’s Undisputed Letters: Christ Crucified, the 'Body of Christ,' and Union." This volume is a truly ambitious project, featuring contributions from more than 30 scholars across Classics, Hebrew Bible, New Testament, and related fields. Looking forward to submitting my final draft by August 1, 2027!
