Care of the Self in Early Christian Texts

This book presents the first three Christian centuries through the lens of what Foucault called "the care of the self." This lens reveals a rich variation among early Christ movements by illuminating their practices instead of focusing on what we anachronistically assume to have been their beliefs.

Aceasta carte prezinta primele trei secole crestine prin prisma a ceea ce Foucault a numit „ingrijirea sinelui”. Aceasta lentila dezvaluie o bogata variatie intre miscarile lui Hristos timpurii, iluminandu-le practicile in loc sa se concentreze asupra a ceea ce presupunem anacronic ca au fost credintele lor.
