Understanding Abnormalities in Biblical Figures

Exploring the extraordinary mental states of Biblical figures, this work delves into Hebrew anthropology and the perspectives of Second Temple Judaism and the New Testament. It examines the relationship between humanity and the mind, influenced by philosophical traditions like Platonism, Aristotelianism, and Stoicism. The text discusses the body-soul dichotomy and the ethical implications of biblical narratives, particularly how church fathers grappled with the moral models presented by these figures amidst accounts of deviant behavior.
