Abstract

"In the twenty-first century, insurance companies still refer to "acts of God" for any accident or event not influenced by human beings: hurricanes, floods, hail, tsunamis, wildfires, earthquakes, tornados, lightning strikes, even falling trees. The remote origin of this concept can be traced to the Hebrew Bible. During the Second Temple period of Judaism a new literary form developed called "apocalyptic" as a mediated revelation of heavenly secrets to a human sage concerning messages that could be cosmological, speculative, historical, teleological, or moral. The best-known development of this type of literature, however, came to fruition in the New Testament and is, of course, the Book of Revelation, attributed to the apostle John, and which figures prominently in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. This collection of essays, the result of the 2014 ACMRS Conference, treats the topic of catastrophes and their connection to apocalyptic mentalities and rhetoric in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance (with particular reference to reception of the Book of Revelation), both in Europe and in the Muslim world. The twelve authors contributing to this volume use terms that are simultaneously helpful and ambiguous for a whole range of phenomena and appraisal." - back cover

Abstract

The Book of Revelation is one of the most cryptic books of the Bible and one that raises many scholarly questions. What is its literary genre? Why is it considered to be both a narrative and a drama? Why does John disregard time-space coordinates? Why does the audience have such an important role in the text? What literary guidelines has the author designed to facilitate the reading of the book? Applying the methods of literary theory to her study, Lourdes Garcia-Urena argues that John wrote Revelation as a book to be read aloud in a liturgical context. In her reading, John chose a literary form, similar to the short story, that allows him to use time-space coordinates flexibly, to dramatize the text, and to take his time in describing his visions. Through these techniques the audience re-lives and is made part of the visual and auditory experience every time the book is read.

Abstract

Back cover: Commodian entschlüsselt als erster christlich-lateinischer Dichter die wortgewaltige Bildsprache der Johannesoffenbarung. Johannes Stettners Untersuchung der Rezeption des Dichters gibt nicht nur Aufschluss über seine eigene historische und theologische Verortung, sondern lässt den Leser von heute die Johannesoffenbarung aus einem neuen Blickwinkel heraus verstehen.

Abstract

Tantôt anonymement, tantôt sous le nom d'Augustin est transmise une série de 18 ou 19 homélies sur l'Apocalypse, qui s'avère être en réalité l'œuvre de Césaire d'Arles. Les interpellations et les conclusions d'allure homilétique ne sont qu'un vêtement littéraire jeté sur un commentaire sommaire de l'Apocalypse, découpée en petites unités de sens, ce qui confère souvent à l'exposé l'allure d'une glose. Césaire y relit les commentaires de Victorin et de Tyconius à la lumière de la situation de l’Eglise dont il a la charge, confrontée à la fois à un pouvoir civil hostile et à une communauté chrétienne dont tous les membres ne brûlaient pas, loin s'en faut, d'une égale ferveur. Les homélies sont d'une aide précieuse dans la critique textuelle du commentaire de Victorin, car Césaire a encore eu entre les mains l’édition originale, et non la recension hiéronymienne, qui a rapidement supplanté celle-ci. Elles apportent aussi une pierre essentielle à la reconstruction du commentaire perdu de Tyconius. Enfin, elles jettent une vive lumière sur la situation pastorale de l'Eglise d'Arles dans la première moitié du sixième siècle.

Abstract

Gott und die Rede von ihm beschäftigen das gesamte Neue Testament. Allerdings wird Gott-Vater selbst kaum als eigenes Thema in der neutestamentlichen Wissenschaft behandelt. Die Beiträger dieses Bandes versuchen deshalb, gezielt den Blick auf Gott-Vater im Johannesevangelium zu richten und diesen als nicht zu vernachlässigende Größe aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln zu beleuchten.
