Translated from German into English for the first time, this
monograph seeks to reclaim the original sense of humility as an
ethical mindset that is of community-building value. This
exploration of humility begins with a consideration of how the
concept plays into current cultural crises before considering its
linguistic and philosophical history in Western culture. In turning
to the roots of Christian humility, Eve-Marie Becker focuses on
Philippians 2, a passage in which Paul appeals to the lowliness of
Christ to encourage his fellow Christians to persevere. She shows
that humility both formed the basis of the ethic Paul instilled in
Christ-believing communities and acted as a mimetic device centered
on Jesus' example that was molded into the earliest Christian
identity and community.
