Abstract

In het bisdom Antwerpen loopt een driejarig pastoraal project met het boek Handelingen van de Apostelen. Hoofdbedoeling van dit project is om aansluiting te vinden bij de geboortetijd van de Kerk. Alles in Handelingen gebeurt voor de eerste keer, van het mooiste tot het pijnlijkste. Niets van wat wij nu meemaken, is toen niet gebeurd, uiteraard in andere omstandigheden en in een ander formaat. Het tweede werkjaar van dit project (2020-2021) heeft een vers van Handelingen als motto, namelijk het woord van Petrus tot de verlamde bedelaar bij de tempelpoort: ‘In naam van Jezus Christus de Nazoreeër, kom overeind en stap rond’ (Hnd 3, 6). Het gesprek van Petrus met de verlamde bedelaar is geen losstaand verhaal. Het is de openingsscene van ‘een drama in drie bedrijven’. In vijftien korte hoofdstukken volgt mgr. Bonny dit ‘drama in drie bedrijven’. Hij houdt zich daarbij aan de hoofdlijn van Lucas’ boodschap. Die heeft alles te maken met de verkondiging van de verrijzenis en het leven van de eerste christelijke gemeenschap. Tegelijk beperkt hij zich tot een interne lezing van de Bijbeltekst. Wat bedoelt Lucas met dit woord of met dit gebaar? Welke passages uit het Evangelie van Lucas en uit Handelingen verwijzen naar elkaar? Maar ook: welk woord lijkt wel voor ons bedoeld, als vraag of als antwoord? Waar komt onze kerkgemeenschap om de hoek kijken?

Abstract

"Joshua Noble focuses on the rapid appearance and disappearance in Acts 2 and 4 of the motif that early believers hold all their property in common, and argues that these descriptions function as allusions to the Golden Age myth. Noble suggests Luke's claims that the believers "had all things in common" and that "no one claimed private ownership of any possessions" - a motif that does not appear in any biblical source - rather calls to mind Greek and Roman traditions that the earliest humans lived in utopian conditions, when "no one ... possessed any private property, but all things were common.""--

Abstract

Arco den Heijer analysiert die Darstellung von Paulus Auftritten in fünf Episoden der Apostelgeschichte und behauptet, dass die Darstellung von Paulus als eindrucksvoller Redner dazu diente, negative Ansichten über Christen sowohl in römischen als auch in jüdischen Kreisen zu entkräften.

Abstract

Luke, the eponymous author of the gospel that bears his name as well as the book of Acts, wrote the largest portion of the New Testament. Luke is generally thought to be a gentile. This book addresses a question raised by Jesus's disciples at the very beginning of Acts: "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" The question is freighted with political and national significance as it inquires about the restoration of political sovereignty to the Jewish people. This book investigates Luke's perspective on the salvation of Israel in light of Jewish restoration eschatology. It situates Luke-Acts in the aftermath of the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. The author of Luke-Acts did not write the Jews off but still awaited the restoration of Israel. Luke conceived of Israel's eschatological restoration in traditional Jewish terms. The nation of Israel would experience liberation in the fullest sense, including national and political restoration. Luke's Jewish Eschatology builds upon the appreciation of the Jewish character of early Christianity in the decades after the Holocaust, which has witnessed the reclamation of the Jewishness of the historical Jesus and even Paul.

Abstract

"Mark Wreford examines the reasons that prompted the New Testament writers to create the texts which would become the formation of the Christian religion. Wreford explores the possibility that certain religious experiences were understood as revelatory, and consequently inspired the writing of texts which were seen as special from their inception"--
