Abstract

This Companion volume offers a concise and engaging introduction to the New Testament. Including twenty-two especially-commissioned essays, written by an international team of scholars, it examines a range of topics related to the historical and religious contexts in which the contents of the Christian canon emerged. Providing an overview of the critical approaches and methods currently applied to the study of biblical texts, it also includes chapters on each of the writings in the New Testament. The volume serves as an excellent resource for students who have some familiarity with the New Testament and who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the state of academic discussion and debate. Readers will also gain a sense of the new research questions that are emerging from current scholarship.

Abstract

Röm 7,7-25 ist das Kernstück eines umfangreichen Adam-Sünde-Tod-Komplexes in den Protopaulinen. Es hat eine reichhaltige Auslegungstradition hervorgebracht, die Jan Dochhorn in diesem Band in Grundzügen nachzeichnet. Als Hintergrund des Textes identifiziert er die Apokalypse des Mose (Apc Mos). Damit ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, die Apc Mos genauer zu datieren und die Entstehungsgeschichte des jüdischen Adammythos zu beschreiben. Ferner lassen sich die Apc Mos und mehrere mit ihr verwandten Werke dem Milieu von Diasporarückwanderern in Jerusalem zuordnen, dem Paulus angehörte und von dem das frühe Christentum wesentliche Anregungen empfing. Theologisch ergeben sich mit dieser Arbeit Konsequenzen vor allem für die Anthropologie, Hamartiologie und Nomologie des Paulus, die systematisch dargestellt werden und mit denen sich für die Dogmatik, die kirchliche Verkündigung und das Gespräch zwischen den Konfessionen neue Impulse ergeben sollen.

Exegesis and history of reception : reading the New Testament today with the readers of the past

Abstract

"Why should we take into account the history of reception in biblical methods? It is because as exegetes we have no choice. Recognizing our dependence on interpretations of the past is not a new method, but it is the very way we understand texts. Régis Burnet shows how this allows us to put our current interpretations into perspective, but also to dialogue with those of the past."

Abstract

Like Philo and Josephus, as well as those who earlier produced the Septuagint and the Hellenistic Jewish fragmentary texts, the writers of the New Testament were Jews writing in Greek. They may have been articulating and promoting a particular form of Jewish messianism that eventually became a distinctive form of religious belief, but in the first and early second centuries, those Christ-followers who were writing in varous genres operated with many of the same assumptions as their Jewish counterparts in the land of Israel and in other places such as Alexandria and Rome. This collection of essays, spanning the scholarly career of Carl R. Holladay, investigates the Hellenistic Jewish writings in their own contexts and explores how they illuminate the writings of the New Testament. Included are six new essays on such topics as Hellenistic Judaism, the Beatitudes, and Luke-Acts.

Abstract

Born in the late 9th century Baghdad, the ʿAbbāsid grammarian ‘Abū Bakr Muḥammad b. Saḥl Ibn al-Sarrāj (d. 929), came to be remembered as the Banisher of Madness and the virtuous scholar whose life has exemplified the culture of Arabs in its fullness. Lauded as the arch-enemy of Hellenistic sciences and, at the same time, as the main source of transmission of Aristotelian logic from the 10th century philosophers to the grammarians of Baghdad; Ibn al-Sarrāj nonetheless remains a shadowy figure in the history of Arabic grammar studies up until today. This book addresses this issue by examining the problematic relationship between language, logic and grammar in Ibn al-Sarrāj’s teachings. In addition, the present study offers an insight into the conflict between the medieval grammarians and logicians over the traditionally-established authority of ʿAbbāsid grammarians to analyse the intelligible realm and nature of a human soul. In order to come to terms with the controversial notion of grammarians as the guardians of the divine wisdom, the present study pivots on one of its greatest embodiment: Ibn al-Sarrāj’s concept of the Wisdom of Arabs.

Abstract

"This volume features a body of work selected by Craig A. Evans, B. J. Oropeza, and Paul T. Sloan, designed to examine just what is meant by 'intertextuality,' including metalepsis and the controversial and exciting approach known as 'mimesis.' Beginning with an introduction from Oropeza which orients readers in a complex and evolving field, the contributors first establish the growing research surrounding the discipline, before examining important texts and themes in the New Testament Gospels and epistles"--

Abstract

The Early Church has produced a diversified and influential tradition of commenting on the Bible. The tradition is rich in content, in methods, and in the goals pursued. The present volume offers a selection of papers read at an international colloquium held in Leuven in December 2018. Basically, three guidelines were followed in selecting the material: language, representative authors, and the wish to cover various parts of the New Testament. Three of the ten essays deal with Greek authors. Origen takes a place of honour, and through him is also heard the voice of one of the oldest Christian commentators, Heracleon. The third one is Theodore of Mopsuestia, the major representative of the non-Alexandrian tradition, averse of an allegorical reading of the Bible. The Latins are represented by their two greatest exegetes (Jerome and Augustine), a recently rediscovered gospel commentator (Fortunatianus), two commentators on Paul (Marius Victorinus and Ambrosiaster), an influential commentator of the Apocalypse (Victorinus of Pettau), and an author who was instrumental in transmitting the legacy of the ancient Church to a new era (Bede).

New Testament semiotics : linguistic signs, the process of signification, and the hermeneutics of discursive resistance

Abstract

Focusing on linguistic signs, New Testament Semiotics navigates through different realist and nominalist traditions. From this perspective, Saussure’s and Peirce’s traditions exhibit similarities. Questioning Derrida’s and Eco’s semiotics based on their misuse of Peirce’s innovations, Dr. Privatdozent Timo Eskola rehabilitates Benveniste and Ricoeur. A sign is about conditions and functions. Sign as a role is a manifestation of participation. Serving as a sign entails participation in a web of relations, participation in a network of meanings, and adoption of a set of rules. We should focus on sentences and networks, not primitive reference or binary oppositions. Enunciations are postulations producing evanescent meanings. Finally, the study suggests a linguistic approach to metatheology that is based on hermeneutics of discursive resistance.

Abstract

Die Studie zeichnet ein überraschend neues Bild der griechisch-römischen Lesekultur. Sie untersucht anhand der Leseterminologie, wie Menschen in der Antike ihr eigenes „Lesen“ verstanden haben, und bezieht diese Ergebnisse auf die materiellen und sozialgeschichtlichen Zeugnisse über Leseverhalten und -bedingungen. Es werden verbreitete Annahmen widerlegt, z. B. über das grundsätzlich „laute“ Lesen, über die Verbreitung einer performativen Vorlesekultur oder über den Gottesdienst als Ort der Erstrezeption neutestamentlicher Schriften. Ein differenziertes Modell zur Beschreibung von Lesepraktiken eröffnet neue Wege für die (historische) Leseforschung auch in anderen Bereichen. Vor allem wird deutlich, dass sich die neutestamentlichen Schriften im Rahmen dieser Lesekultur verstehen lassen und z. T. für die individuell-direkte Lektüre konzipiert wurden. Damit werden auch elaborierte Lektürekonzepte plausibel, wie sie etwa das Markusevangelium voraussetzt.
