Description
Abstract
Tenemos la intención de llevar a cabo una relectura del Apologeticum (Apol. 3.4) de Tertuliano con la ayuda de las ciencias sociales, la antropología cultural y el constructo honor-vergüenza. Mostraremos cómo estos valores antropológicos que incidían en la vida cotidiana de los creyentes cartagineses entran en relación con las virtudes con las que son descritos los miembros de la casa/οἶκος/domus en las distintas relaciones interpersonales y familiares. Serán cualidades respetables, la honradez, la obediencia y la fidelidad, las que definan a los cristianos en la ciudad de Cartago durante el siglo II d. C. En definitiva, el apologeta cuando polemiza contra los paganos defiende y protege la honestidad de los nuevos creyentes y exalta las virtudes adecuadas para cada uno de ellos.
Abstract: This article aims to re-examine Tertullian's Apologeticum (Apol. 3.4) through the lens of social science, cultural anthropology, and the honour-shame construct. Thus, this re-reading will demonstrate the interconnectivity between the anthropological values that shaped the daily lives of Carthaginian believers and the virtues attributed to household/οἶκος/domus members in their various interpersonal and family relationships. The respectable qualities of christians in Carthage during the 2nd century AD were honesty, obedience and faithfulness. In essence, the apologist, when polemicising against the pagans, defended and protected the honesty of the new believers and exalted the virtues appropriate to each of them.
