David Eastman: Simon the Composite Sorcerer

Mittwoch 21. Juli 2021, 12:00 Uhr - Mittwoch 21. Juli 2021, 14:00 Uhr

Simon Magus is a key figure in the earliest apocryphal Acts of Peter. He is a sorcerer and confidant of the emperor who clashes with Peter and, in later apocryphal texts, with both Peter and Paul. However, this is not simply the villain of the Acts of the Apostles. In this paper I will argue that the apocryphal Simon is a hybrid figure drawn from the Simon of Acts 8 and the Elymas/Bar-Jesus figure who opposes Paul in Acts 13.
