| Sumario: | The aim of this article is to present the theme of the monster and the monstrous in the texts of early Christianity, not only drawing attention to their presence in the sources, in their most diverse manifestations, but above all proposing a working definition of the monster, in dialogue with what has come to be called the Theory of the Monstrous. This theory proposes analyzing culture through the monsters it produces. Here we specifically propose to analyze the religiosity of the early Christians through the monsters they produced and through which they articulated their experience and imagination of the sacred. Monsters, hybrid and metamorphic beings who live in liminal spaces, open up a promising gateway to understanding a connective and ecologically radical religiosity, in which humans relate without privilege, decentered, with metahuman agents and with the environment. |
