To Touch or Not to Touch? Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the
Noli me tangere is based on studies which were originally written
for an interdisciplinary conference entitled Noli me tangere. Word
- Image - Context. The book contains eight contributions by
internationally recognized specialists in the areas of philosophy
(Marc De Kesel), exegesis (Esther de Boer, Erika Mohri, Turid
Karlsen Seim and Reimund Bieringer), art history (Lisa Marie
Rafanelli and Victor Schmidt) and literature studies (Hedwig
Schwall). The collection is unique in its focus on the Noli me
tangere and in its interdisciplinary nature. The narrowness of its
subject, namely the prohibition of touch by the risen Christ
addressed to Mary Magdalene is counterbalanced by the broadness of
methodologies and approaches which are used to treat the subject.
The book mirrors the many ways in which interpreters have wrestled
with the topics of touch and its prohibition in the interpretation
of noli me tangere in John 20:17.
