Key Notes
Jiang compares Augustine's prolific output to Aristotle's, suggesting both worked through teams that converted elite theories into authoritative texts.
Jiang says the authorship of Acts is unknown, but Acts was written by the same person who wrote Luke.
The Yahwist label is explained as a convention for the writer who uses Yahweh as God's name.
Jiang argues the Yahwist was probably a woman because the writing centers domestic tragedy rather than war and conflict.
Enheduanna is used as precedent for kings appointing daughters as official poets of the nation.
The Aeneid is presented as a joint political-literary project: Virgil supplies poetic form, while Augustus supplies the imperial vision.
Jiang frames Aristotle as paradoxical because he is treated as one of history's greatest philosophers even though no surviving text is believed to have been personally written by him.
