| Summary: | In this article, we will build upon recent contributions in interdisciplinary research in theology and ethics by focusing on the interactions between vulnerable bodies and reactive emotions. To highlight these interactions, we will present three characters from the ancient world – Aelius Aristide, Lysias, and Paul – before developing a model whose objective is to better recognise, from their own actions and words, the vulnerabilities of persons at risk of being excluded or forgotten. In summary, we aim to show that the scene recounted by the letter-writer Paul in Ga 4:12-20 is particularly fruitful for conceptualising vulnerable bodies in relation to the emotions that they provoke. It is in this way that the figure of the ‘forgotten other’ will become at once better remembered, better valued, and even better cared for.
