German description: Der Band gibt die Vortrage der Zweiten europaischen orthodox-westlichen Exegetenkonferenz vom 8.-15. September 2001 im Rilakloster in Bulgarien wieder. Ausserdem werden die Diskussionen in den Arbeitsgruppen resumiert und in einem Ausblick Perspektiven des Gesprachs zwischen orthodoxen und westlichen Bibelwissenschaftlern formuliert.Nach einem ersten Symposium von orthodoxen, evangelischen und katholischen Neutestamentlern 1998 in Rumanien, das hermeneutischen und methodischen Grundfragen der Exegese gewidmet war, konzentrieren sich die Beitrage zur Rila-Konferenz auf die Beziehung beider Testamente der christlichen Bibel aufeinander. Aus orthodoxer, katholischer und evangelischer Perspektive werden das Alte Testament in christlicher Tradition, das Alte Testament im Neuen Testament und im antiken Judentum, der Kanon des Alten Testaments sowie messianische Texte und ihre christliche Interpretation behandelt. Ein Beitrag wurdigt aus judischer Sicht den Tanach in der Rezeption des nachbiblischen Judentums.Neben grundlegend hermeneutisch ausgerichteten Beitragen und Darstellungen zur Auslegungsgeschichte des Alten Testaments stehen exegetische Studien zu alttestamentlichen Texten und historisch-philologische Untersuchungen zu patristischen Quellen.

Download or read book Spirit Epicleses in the Acts of Thomas written by Susan E. Myers and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2010 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susan E. Myers concentrates on two prayers, strikingly similar in style and content, found in the third-century Acts of Thomas. Each prayer is located in the context of Christian initiation and each is addressed to a feminine deity who is asked to "come" to be present in the ritual. The prayers appeal to the feminine Spirit, who is called "Mother," "fellowship of the male," and "dove," among other titles. The author examines these prayers in their historical, literary, and liturgical contexts, challenging some of the prevailing assumptions about Syriac-speaking Christianity in general, and the Acts of Thomas in particular.
Download or read book Rhetoric and Drama in the Johannine Lawsuit Motif written by George L. Parsenios and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2010 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George L. Parsenios explores the legal character of the Gospel of John in the light of classical literature, especially Greek drama. Johannine interpreters have explored with increasing interest both the legal quality and the dramatic quality of the Fourth Gospel, but often do not connect these two ways of reading John. Some interpreters even assume that the one approach excludes the other, and that John is either legal or dramatic, but not both. Legal rhetoric and tragic drama, however, were joined throughout antiquity in a complex pattern of mutual influence. To connect John to drama, therefore, is to connect John to legal rhetoric, and doing so helps to see even more clearly the pervasiveness of the legal motif in the Gospel of John. Tracing the legal character of seeking in Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, for example, sheds new light on the legal character of seeking in the Fourth Gospel, especially in the enigmatic comment of Jesus at John 8:50. New insights are also offered regarding the evidentiary character of the signs of Jesus, based on comparison with Aristotle's comments about signs and rhetorical evidence in both the Poetics and Rhetoric, as well as by comparison with plays by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. To call the signs of Jesus evidence, however, does not remove them from the dialectical tension inherent in Johannine theology. If the signs are evidence, they are evidence in a world in which the basis of forming judgments has been problematized by the appearance of the Word in the flesh.

Download or read book Cross bearing in Luke written by Sverre Bøe and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2010 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luke records twice how Jesus called on people to take up or carry their crosses. He also reports how Simon of Cyrene carried Jesus' cross behind Jesus. No metaphorical uses of the well-known phenomenon of cross-bearing were confirmed in any language prior to the Gospels. The idiom was also unknown in Semitic languages. What did a call to become a voluntary cross-bearer sound like before the cross became kitsch? In Luke's Gospel, cross-bearing is connected with self-denial and hating one's family. Not only the disciples, but all are called on to take up their crosses. Since cross-bearing is a daily duty, it can hardly refer to martyrdom, and cannot be linked to imitation. Sverre Boe argues that the cross signifies death through radical self-denial, but not as ascetic exercises. His book includes a survey of the history of scholarship on the five Synoptic texts of cross-bearing.

Download or read book The Tongues of Angels written by John C. Poirier and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2010 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apostle Paul's reference to the "tongues of angels" (1 Cor 13.1) has always aroused curiosity, but it has rarely been the object of a history-of-traditions investigation. Few readers of Paul's words are aware of the numerous references and allusions to angelic languages in Jewish and Christian texts. John C. Poirier presents the first full-length study of the concept of angelic languages, and the most exhaustive attempt to assemble the evidence for that concept in ancient Jewish and early Christian texts. He discusses possible references to angelic languages in the New Testament, pseudepigraphic writings (both Jewish and Christian), the Dead Sea scrolls, rabbinic texts, patristic references, magical writings, and epigraphy. The discussion is divided between those witnesses that understand angels to speak Hebrew, and those that understand angels to speak an esoteric heavenly language.

Download or read book Jews Christians and Jewish Christians in Antiquity written by James Carleton Paget and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2010 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, which consists of some previously published and unpublished essays, examines a variety of issues relevant to the study of ancient Judaism and Christianity and their interaction, including polemic, proselytism, biblical interpretation, messianism, the phenomenon normally described as Jewish Christianity, and the fate of the Jewish community after the Bar Kokhba revolt, a period of considerable importance for the emergence not only of Judaism but also of Christianity. The volume, typically for a collection of essays, does not lay out a particular thesis. If anything binds the collection together, it is the author's attempt to set out the major fault lines in current debate about these disputed subjects, and in the process to reveal their complex and entangled character.
