Early Christian apocryphal and conical documents present us with
grotesque images of the human body, often combining the playful and
humorous with the repulsive, and fearful. First to third century
Christian literature was shaped by the discourse around and imagery
of the human body. This study analyses how the iconography of
bodily cruelty and visceral morality was produced and refined from
the very start of Christian history. The sources range across Greek
comedy, Roman and Jewish demonology, and metamorphosis traditions.
The study reveals how these images originated, were adopted, and
were shaped to the service of a doctrinally and psychologically
persuasive Christian message.
