• W2600695974 abstract "Meals in the Early Christian World: Social Formation, Experimentation, and Conflict at the Table. Edited by Dennis E. Smith and Hal Taussig. New York: Palgrave MacMillan, 2012. xi + 315 pp. $95.00 (cloth).The eighteen essays that comprise this volume represent the work of the Society of Biblical Literature Seminar on Meals in the Greco-Roman World from 2002 to 2010. As such it offers trained specialists and advanced students of Christian and Jewish origins a rich buffet of topics, texts, scholarly approaches, and social contextualization of banqueting and its cultural meaning and practices in the first centuries of the Common Era. subtitle reflects the social constructivist approach of the essays even where they focus most on material culture. collection promises much food for thought for those who work at this table and a diverse menu for graduate seminars dedicated to the study of in antiquity. essays cover a wide array of topics ranging from and banqueting as reflected in New Testament texts, to the participation of slaves and women in ancient banquets, to the social worlds of banqueting in the homes of the wealthy and more modest associations, to evidence of banqueting among Valentinian Gnostics, to eating posture in monastic settings, to the presence of women at Jewish banquets in the emergent rabbinic period. thorough bibliography that accompanies the volumes essays furnishes an excellent resource for further research. Ten figures furnish images for conceptualizing eating in the ancient world. As such they whet the appetite for more study and more than realize the book's goal of critically examin[ingl a wide range of social settings and implications for the Mediterranean-wide practice of festive meals (p. 1).After a brief introduction, the essays are grouped in four parts: Part I, The Typology of the Greco-Roman Banquet; Part II, The Archaeology of the Banquet; Part III, Who Was at the Greco-Roman Banquets?; and Part IV, The Culture of Reclining: Corporeality, Sexuality, Intimacy. Each essay briefly and concisely attends to empirical evidence and methodological considerations in the interpretation of material and textual data. advantage of this approach is that it allows readers to observe, compare, and contrast how participants in the seminar theorize data and represent it. This makes the volume an excellent resource for graduate instruction.Matthias Klinghardt, Dennis E. Smith, and Hal Taussig are pioneers in the social study of the community meal in the early Christian world. Taussig introduces the study by offering a brief sketch of the history of research and its relation to the book's essays. Klinghardt and Smith represent Part I, the former with a typology of the communal meal and the latter with a discussion of the Greco-Roman banquet as a social institution. These essays set the general tone and context for the essays that follow and orient readers to the socio-historical approaches that govern the volume's essays.A perceptive essay by Carolyn Osiek dedicated to discussion of a large residential complex Pompeii comprises Part II. Osiek guides us through the spatial organization of banqueting in a first-century residential block owned by a wealthy woman, Julia Felix. As a case study, we follow her reasoning concerning contemporary uses of space for eating and meeting as she compares and contrasts analogous spaces throughout the Roman empire. Especially valuable are the photos that accompany her discussion as she interprets material evidence.Part III, which takes up the demography of ancient banqueting, is the volumes longest section. …" @default.
