The Epistle of the Church of Rome to the Church of Corinth and the gentle “violence” of Bourdieu
Abstract
In this paper, we revisit the Epistle of the Church of Rome to the Church of Corinth, ascribed to Clement I of Rome. We review the structure of the letter, its goal, and the literary and strategic recourses it employs. We´ll apply some of Bourdieu's sociological insights to its understanding. We´ll consider whether Clement's goals are concord and peace or, rather, order and subordination of the Corinthians Church to the Church of Rome.
