Abstract
Curses are an exegetically increasingly current topic. In this discussion the cultural-historical classification of these texts against the background of the Greek-Roman practice of cursing, in particular the defixiones, is central. The present contribution focuses on the Pauline use of the lexeme anathema (Gal 1:8–9; 1 Cor 16:22) and the syntagma “delivering to Satan” (1 Cor 5:5) against the background of their respective specific semantics, history of tradition, and contexts of reception. It sheds light on the theological dimension of these “curses,” whose effects beyond the Pauline letters can also be observed in the grave-robber curses from the context of the Galatian and Corinthian communities.
