Lily Vuong, “Beyond Boundaries: Scholarly Categories and the Apocryphal Mary in Text, Pictorial Art, and Iconography,” MTSR Online Publication Date: 20 Mar 2025
This article explores the limitations of scholarly boundaries formed by the categories “Judaism,” “Christianity,” “canonical,” and “non-canonical” in our understanding and interpretation of religious images. How do these labels help us better understand or occlude us from understanding the purpose and function of religious images for both devotees and religious leadership alike? My essay centers on the image depicted on the fifth-century CE mosaics found on the triumphal arch located in the Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica in Rome with a special focus on the temple. On the top register, the Jerusalem temple is prominently depicted three times in a Christian Basilica devoted to Mary. What devotional, didactical, or homiletical function did it serve and in what ways does the application of scholarly categories and approaches help or hinder with this understanding?

Review of my book by Steven Friesen out in Pasts Imperfect: "Academia needs studies like this that raise suppressed questions if we are to understand better the ancient texts, their histories of usefulness, our academic disciplines, and our contemporary societal struggles."

Forthcoming from OUP, early 2025 (featuring Peter from GA 1751)
A book cover with the title Scriptural Figures and the Fringes of the New Testament Canon, by Kelsie G. Rodenbiker. The image is of the Apostle Peter from GA 1751. He holds a scroll with the beginning of 1 Peter and around his head are bubbles of text affirming his status as the "chief of the apostles."
