11 wide array of Classical and Greco-Roman apophthegmatic collections has largely been ignored. My re-reading of the AP re-apportions this balance. Taking the broad contours of ancient Greco-Roman sayings collections as my starting point, I demonstrate that it is only by attending to the links that attach the Sayings of the Desert Fathers (and Mothers) to wider application of the apophthegmatic genre, that this distinctive record of a particularly monastic 'moment' becomes meaningful. Here the modicum of difference that exists affords a rich vantage point for exploring how early monastic communal establishments took a widely practiced received tradition and turned it to their own ends. I call particular attention to the pedagogical parallels that tie the AP to more general applications of this genre. In consonance with their Greco-Roman counterparts, I argue that these sayings and stories embody active civic ideals. As such, they disclose less about the eminently emulatable figures they portray than about the preoccupations and affairs of the communities in which they served as vehicles of formation. The idealized behavior of their illustrious protagonists mirrors tensions that lie closest to the surface of communal life. If the rewards garnered by these saintly abbas and ammas were ultimately heavenly, their virtue could hardly have yielded negligible this-worldly dividends. These narratives are at once world shunning and world building. They depict 'solitary' life as a civic enterprise at its best, the Πόλις of God on earth. Lied, Liv Ingeborg: The Other Lands of Israel: A study of the Land theme in 2 Baruch. Lieds avhandling er eit studium av jødiske forestillingar om Israels land slik dei kjem til uttrykk i 2. Baruk (2. århundre e.v.t.). På bakgrunn av stadsteoriane til den amerikanske geografen Edward W. Soja disku-terer Lied om konseptet Israels land først og fremst refererer til eit gitt geografisk område mellom Jordan-elva og Middelhavet i denne teksten, eller om 2. Baruk også kunne framstille Israels land som det området der det rettskafne folket til ei kvar tid levde i tråd med den pakta forfedrene hadde inngått med Gud. Avhandlinga argumenterer for at det først og fremst er dei rettskafne sine handlingar som skaper Israels land som stad i denne teksten, og at konseptet Israels land dermed kan bli brukt fleksibelt om fleire territorier og rom-lege storleikar i frelseshistoria, mellom dei Judea, Jerusalem og den himmelske verda. I 2. Baruk framstår derfor Israels land som ein sentral frelsesstad som garanterer både samtidig beskyttelse og framtidig triumf for det rettskafne folket.

13 to examine the inner coherency of the theological and anthropological thinking of Gregory of Nyssa ( ). To the issue is applied an apophatic approach with a Christological focus. It is suggested that the coherency is to be found from the Christological concept of unity between true God and true man in the one person of Jesus Christ. Gregory is among the first to make a full recognition of two natures of Christ, and to use this recognition systematically in his writings. The aim of the studies is pursued by the method of identification, which is a combination the modern problematic method and Gregory's own method of following (akolouthia). The preoccupation with issues relating to the socalled Hellenization of Christianity in the patristic era was strong in the twentieth century Gregory scholarship. The most discussed questions have been the Greek influence in his thought and his philosophical sources. In the five articles of the thesis it is examined how Gregory's thinking stands in its own right. The manifestly apophatic character of his theological thinking is made a part of the method of examining his thought according to the principles of his own method of following. The basic issue concerning the relation of theology and anthropology is discussed in the contexts of his central Trinitarian, anthropological, Christological and eschatological sources. In the summary the Christocentric integration of Gregory's thinking is discussed also in relation to the issue of the alleged Hellenization. The main conclusion of the thesis concerns the concept of theology in Gregory. Itis not indebted to the classical concept of theology as metaphysics or human speculation of God. Instead, it is founded to the traditional Judeo- Christian idea of God who speaks with his people face to face. In Gregory, theologia connotes the oikonomia of God's selfrevelation. It may be regarded as the state of constant expression of love between the Creator and his created image. In theology, the human person becomes an image of the Word by which the Father expresses his love to "man" whom he loves as his own Son. Eventually the whole humankind, as one, gives the divine Word a physical audible and sensible Body. Humankind then becomes what theology is. The whole humanity expresses divine love by manifesting Christ in words and deeds, singing in one voice to the glory of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Rasimus, Tuomas: Paradise Reconsidered: A Study of the Ophite Myth and Ritual and Their Relationship to Sethianism (University of Helsinki/University of Laval, doctoral degree ) This thesis examines the mythology in and social reality behind a group of texts from the Nag Hammadi and related literature, to which certain leaders of the early church attached the label, Ophite, i.e., snake people. In the mythology, which essentially draws upon and rewrites the Genesis paradise story, the snake s advice to eat from the tree of knowledge is positive, the creator and his angels are demonic beasts and the true godhead is depicted as an

14 androgynous heavenly projection of Adam and Eve. It will be argued that this unique mythology is attested in certain Coptic texts from the Nag Hammadi and Berlin 8502 Codices (On the Origin of the World, Hypostasis of the Archons, Apocryphon of John, Eugnostos, Sophia of Jesus Christ), as well as in reports by Irenaeus (Adversus Haereses 1.30), Origen (Contra Celsum ) and Epiphanius (Panarion 26). It will also be argued that this so-called Ophite evidence is essential for a proper understanding of Sethian Gnosticism, often today considered one of the earliest forms of Gnosticism; there seems to have occurred a Sethianization of Ophite mythology. I propose that we replace the current Sethian Gnostic category by a new one that not only adds texts that draw upon the Ophite mythology alongside these Sethian texts, but also arranges the material in smaller typological units. I also propose we rename this remodelled and expanded Sethian corpus Classic Gnostic. I have divided the thesis into four parts: (I) Introduction; (II) Myth and Innovation; (III) Ritual; and (IV) Conclusion. In Part I, the sources and previous research on Ophites and Sethians will be examined, and the new Classic Gnostic category will be introduced to provide a framework for the study of the Ophite evidence. Chapters in Part II explore key themes in the mythology of our texts, first by text comparison (to show that certain texts represent the Ophite mythology and that this mythology is different from Sethianism), and then by attempting to unveil social circumstances that may have given rise to such myths. Part III assesses heresiological claims of Ophite rituals, and Part IV is the conclusion. Rönnegård, Per: Threads and Images. The Use of Scripture in Apophthegmata Patrum.
