Summary
Social interaction is shaped by both positive and negative emotions. The norm of μακροθυμία (long-suffering), which constitutes and defines interpersonal interaction, intervenes precisely in this complex of emotionality and relationships. Kerstin Reussner investigates what characterizes μακροθυμία, what it means in ancient texts, in which contexts it is relevant and how it is theologically substantiated.
