| Résumé : | This dissertation, written under the direction of Dieter Georgi and completed in 1977, focuses on the problem of the apparently digressive and often incoherent style of composition in the apocryphal Acts of Thomas. Using both traditional techniques of biblical exegesis and concepts from structural linguistics, LaFargue demonstrates that the disorganization in the Acts of Thomas is only apparent: the work was actually carefully composed according to certain definite, if unusual, literary and philosophical presuppositions. His study also suggests ties between the Acts of Thomas and gnosticism, neo-Platonism, and the beginnings of the Jewish Kabbala. |
