Abstract

Anyone who reads the Gospels carefully will notice that there are differences in the manner in which they report the same events. These differences have led many conservative Christians to resort to harmonization efforts that are often quite strained, sometimes to the point of absurdity. Many people have concluded the Gospels are hopelessly contradictory and therefore historically unreliable as accounts of Jesus. The majority of New Testament scholars now hold that most if not all of the Gospels belong to the genre of Greco-Roman biography and that this genre permitted some flexibility in the way in which historical events were narrated. However, few scholars have undertaken a robust discussion of how this plays out in Gospel pericopes (self-contained passages). Why Are There Differences in the Gospels? provides a fresh approach to the question by examining the works of Plutarch, a Greek essayist who lived in the first and second centuries CE. Michael R. Licona discovers three-dozen pericopes narrated two or more times in Plutarch's Lives, identifies differences between the accounts, and analyzes these differences in light of compositional devices identified by classical scholars as commonly employed by ancient authors. The book then applies the same approach to nineteen pericopes that are narrated in two or more Gospels, demonstrating that the major differences found there likely result from the same compositional devices employed by Plutarch. Showing both the strained harmonizations and the hasty dismissals of the Gospels as reliable accounts to be misguided, Licona invites readers to approach them in light of their biographical genre and in that way to gain a clearer understanding of why they differ.

Abstract

In 2012, Lukas Dorfbauer identified a manuscript in Cologne Cathedral Library as a copy of the Commentary on the Gospels by Fortunatianus, bishop of Aquileia in the middle of the fourth century. This discovery enabled him to identify further witnesses to the commentary and works dependent on it. Dorfbauer's critical edition, to be published in the CSEL series in 2017, makes this work available to scholarship for the first time in over a millennium. The discovery of a new work from late antiquity is always a landmark in the history of research. This extensive commentary shines new light on fourth-century biblical interpretation and the exegetical practices and literary work of an African bishop ministering in north Italy in this period. What is more, it appears to be dependent on works by Origen and Victorinus of Poetovio which are no longer preserved. In order to make this important work available to a wider audience, Dr Houghton has prepared an English translation and introduction in conjunction with the COMPAUL project on the earliest commentaries on the New Testament as sources for the biblical text.

Abstract

Martini è stato per molti di noi che hanno ascoltato le sue parole o hanno letto i suoi testi un maestro nel far conoscere e apprezzare la Bibbia [...] Egli ha messo a frutto il contributo specifico che gli Esercizi forniscono alla Lectio divino: discernere il desiderio più autentico [...] in modo che l'ascolto non rimanga in sospeso, ma incida sulla pratica e trasformi la vita." Con queste parole nella prefazione alle "Cattedre dei non credenti" Papa Francesco ha voluto sottolineare lo strettissimo e originale legame tra Bibbia ed Esercizi ignaziani nell'opera di Carlo Maria Martini. In questo volume vengono raccolti i corsi di esercizi dedicati ai quattro Vangeli Marco, Luca, Matteo e Giovanni - tenuti dal Cardinale in diverse occasioni e con diversi destinatari, e con una scelta di metodo innovativa: "Per la prima volta mi sono trovato a impostare gli Esercizi non partendo direttamente dal testo di sant'Ignazio - come ho fatto per molti anni, seguendolo in maniera rigorosa e fedele - ma piuttosto prendendo un singolo Vangelo". I testi qui raccolti sono commenti ai singoli Vangeli nella loro totalità e contemporaneamente veri e propri percorsi "spirituali" nella tradizione gesuitica degli Esercizi di sant'Ignazio, un'esperienza forte di conversione, da vivere con qualcuno che faccia da guida, per ascoltare, discernere e decidere.

Abstract

Der vorliegende Band enthält die Erstedition des Evangelienkommentars des Bischofs Fortunatian von Aquileia (Mitte 4. Jh.). Dieses Werk, von dem erst 2012 eine annähernd vollständige Handschrift identifiziert werden konnte, ist der älteste aus der lateinischen Antike erhaltene Evangelienkommentar und daher von eminenter Bedeutung für die Patristik. Der kritischen Edition des Texts ist eine ausführliche Einleitung vorangestellt. This volume contains the first edition of the commentaries on the gospels by Bishop Fortunatianus of Aquileia (mid-4th century). This work, which was only discovered in the form of an almost complete manuscript in 2012, is the oldest preserved commentary on the gospels from Latin antiquity, and therefore of extraordinary significance for patristics. The critical edition of the text includes a detailed introduction.

Abstract

"This volume includes papers presented at the September 2015 international conference in Salzburg entitled "Forunatianus Redivivus," which focused on the commentary on the gospels by Bishop Forunatianus of Aquileia, first discovered in 2012. To supplement the first edition (CSEL 103), these papers examine this major 'new' text, so extraordinarily important for patristics, from the perspectives of philology, theology, and historiography."--

Abstract

Jordash Kiffiak offers the first concentrated study of a motif ubiquitous in the miracle stories of the gospels, namely the descriptions of characters’ speech, feelings, physical actions and the like in response to miracles. Conventional wisdom sees the response motif as a means of casting the miracle worker in a positive light. However, the author’s narrative-critical analysis argues that within each gospel the motif is employed creatively in a variety of ways. Responses serve to characterize various individuals and groups, both positively and negatively, sometimes in a more complex manner. They also contribute to the development of the plot, both in the individual episode and in the larger narrative. At the same time, observing that a network of features in the responses is shared among the gospels, Kiffiak argues that there is a common oral tradition behind the miracle stories, originating among the early followers of Jesus in the Galilee and/or Judea.

Abstract

From Jesus to His First Followers examines to what extent early Christian groups were in continuity or discontinuity with respect to Jesus. Adriana Destro and Mauro Pesce concentrate on the transformation of religious practices. Their anthropological-historical analysis focuses on the relations between discipleship and households, on the models of contact with the supernatural world, and on cohabitation among distinct religious groups. The book highlights how Matthew uses non-Jewish instruments of legitimation, John reformulates religious experiences through symbolized domestic slavery, Paul adopts a religious practice diffused in Roman-Hellenistic environments. The book reconstructs the map of early Christian groups in the Land of Israel and explains their divergences on the basis of an original theory of the local origin of Gospels’ information.

Abstract

"In this study, Michael J. Morris examines aspects of synoptic gospel demonology; specifically, human responses to demonic evil. It is clear that early Christian demonology can be more fully understood against the background of early Jewish traditions. In the Dead Sea Scrolls, for instance, there are two fundamental ways by which protection against demons is sought. The first anti-demonic method is "exorcism," and the second is characterized by its preventative nature and is typically referred to as "apotropaism." Although many contributions have been made on the topic of exorcism in the gospels, less attention has been paid to the presence of apotropaic features in the gospel texts. Therefore, Michael J. Morris offers a timely examination of apotropaic tradition in early Judaism and its significance for demonological material in the synoptic gospels. He shows how the presence of apotropaisms not only shape conversations about early Christian demonology, but also have broader implications for the understanding of evil, eschatology, and the depiction of Jesus in relation to each gospel." -- ‡c From publisher's description.

Abstract

Masterpiece of medieval manuscript production and decoration, its Latin text glossed throughout in Old English, the Lindisfarne Gospels is a vital witness to the book culture, art, and Christianity of the Anglo-Saxons and their interactions with Ireland, Italy, and the wider world. The expert studies in this collection examine in turn the archaeology of Holy Island, relations between Ireland and Northumbrian, early Northumbrian book culture, the relationship of the Lindisfarne Gospels to the Church universal, the canon table apparatus of the manuscript, the decoration of its Canon Tables, its systems of liturgical readings, the mathematical principles underlying the design of its carpet pages, points of comparison and contrast with the Book of Durrow, the Latin and Old English texts, the nature of the glossator's ink, and the meaning of enigmatic words and phrases within the vernacular gloss. Approaching the material from a series of new perspectives, the contributors shed new light on numerous aspects of this magnificent manuscript, its milieux, and its significance.

Abstract

Si Jésus apparaît comme une figure éminente dans l'histoire de l'humanité, sa vie, ses actes et son message réels demeurent paradoxalement assez méconnus. Dans quel milieu a-t-il vécu, qu'a-t-il dit, fait et transmis ? Et que penser de la valeur historique des récits évangéliques, au-delà des discours dogmatiques et des strates culturelles accumulées depuis deux millénaires ? Conçue et dirigée par Joseph Doré, voici la grande synthèse inédite des données établies (ou discutées) par la recherche historique, qui répond sans tabou à toutes les interrogations du public. Outre une lecture critique des textes, elle propose aussi les regards croisés de philosophes, psychanalystes, écrivains et autres personnalités chrétiennes, juives, musulmanes, athées et agnostiques. Un ouvrage de référence sur un personnage unique, Jésus, qui garde son mystère et interroge chacun de nous sur le mystère qu'il est à lui-même
