| Summary: | Dissimulation seems to have been radically excluded from the early Christian sphere where it was considered important to imply orthodoxy in terms of truth, transparency, and simplicity, in contrast with duplicity and hypocrisy stigmatized as characteristic of heretics. Nevertheless, alongside revelation in an examination of the idea of the incarnation of the Word, there is also an element of having concealed His divine nature. Additionally, an interesting discussion arises over what might be called ‘honest dissimulation’ in a patristic context by making use of the great potential of the metaphor of the world as a theatre. This article examines several particularly significant instances, from mad saints to the construction of a model of ‘ironic’ sanity such as the one proposed by Gregory of Nazianzus in portraying his brother Caesarius in the famous controversy between Augustine and Jerome over the interpretation of 2, 11-14. |
