Description |
Abstract |
This chapter builds from Richard DeMaris’ article “Corinthian Religion and Baptism for the Dead (1 Corinthians 15:29): Insights from Archaeology and Anthropology” which analyzes baptism on behalf of the dead within the cultural context of Roman Corinth by applying Catherine Bell’s ritual theory and bringing in new data on Greco-Roman funerary practices to analyze the ritual context of 1 Corinthians 15:29. In so doing, the focus of this chapter is on vicarious representations of the dead as alluded to in the phrase “baptism on behalf of the dead.” |
