De la teologie paulină la ideologie teologică: o perspectivă a teoriei structurării asupra epistolelor pastorale
From Paulian Theology to Theological Ideology:a Perspective on the Structural Theory of the Pastoral Epistles

Summary/Abstract: This article builds on the conceptual framework elicited from Giddens’ structuration theory on the emergence and reproduction of social structures. From the perspective launched by the structuration theory, early Christianity can be understood as a “symbolic order which, like a language, comprises rules and resources which are drawn upon, reproduced and transformed over time” (Horell 1996: 58). While addressing the Pastoral Epistles, my paper aims at reconstructing the symbolic universe and the social roles ascribed to women, asserting the idea that this literary corpus is an implemented theological ideology.
