This thesis is primarily a study of the doctrine and role of baptism in the Epistle to the Ephesians. The central argument is that the Epistle is a treatise on the unity between Jew and Gentile in the Church and that the author utilizes the language and teaching of baptism to develop this theme. Careful attention, therefore, is given to an exegesis of the text in order to determine how the teaching of baptism contributes toward this purpose. Consideration is also given to the catechetical, liturgical, ethical and eschatological aspects of baptism as they emerge in the Epistle. Jewish and Hellenistic rites are examined within the context of their possible influence upon the teaching of baptism in Ephesians. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

My dissertation investigates the production, representation and experience of space in Hellenistic urbanism, architecture, artworks. Considering festivals as spatialized practices, I argue that the Hellenistic urban setting was carefully designed as stages or arenas for the celebration and performance of state ceremonials. To this end, architects used symbolically charged design technologies, such as skenographia which was deeply informed by ancient optical science. I demonstrate that the perspectival developments in architecture, painting and sculpture were closely allied through application of skenographia, forming a unified visual discourse that was highly attentive to the eye of the spectator. I reconstruct the spatial practices in three major sites of Hellenistic Pergamon, namely, the sanctuary of Athena Nikephoros (bringer of Victory), the famous Altar of Zeus, and the sanctuary complex of the theater of Dionysus. Through these reconstructions, I demonstrate that the spatial order of the Hellenistic urban sanctuary facilitated Attalid kings’ appropriation of Pergamene urban setting as a constituent of their sovereign power. / text
