| dc.description.abstract |
When the identity of the slave in the Gospel narrative of “The Healing of the
Centurion’s Slave” is studied through historical-critical research, the written and earlier
oral traditions of the story indicate that the miraculous act is true to the historical Jesus.
Also, by exploring the slave’s identity as a slave, same-sex love interest, and military
recruit—and the 1st century C.E. implications thereof—the author concludes that the
historical Jesus understood the sexual relationship between the centurion and his slave,
and healed the latter based on the faith of the former. Jesus never spoke negatively
about homosexuality and never offered sociological or theological discourse pertaining thereto. |
