Ένα νέο υπόμνημα για τις επιστολές Ιούδα και Β΄ Πέτρου / A new commentary on Jude and 2 Peter

Κυκλοφόρησε από τον εκδοτικό οίκο Evangelischer Verlagsanstalt το υπόμνημα του Jörg Frey για τις επιστολές Ιούδα και Β΄ Πέτρου. Ο συγγραφέας του δίνει ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στις ιστορικές συνθήκες μέσα στις οποίες οι επιστολές γράφηκαν, την φυσιογνωμία των αντιπάλων που αντιμετωπίζουν και τη θεολογία επιχειρηματολογία σε κάθε περίπτωση. Σε ξεχωριστά παραρτήματα γίνεται εξετάζονται ζητήματα κριτικής του κειμένου καθώς κι η χρήση παλαιοδιαθηκικών κι άλλων ιουδαϊκών παραδόσεων. Από την ανάλυση προκύπτουν ενδιαφέροντα συμπεράσματα για τη θέση της Ιούδα στην παύλεια και δευτεροπαύλεια παράδοση και για την Β΄ Πέτρου ο ρόλος της ως μάρτυρα για τις θεολογικές συζητήσεις του 2ου αιώνα.

Ένα νέο βιβλίο για το κατά Ιωάννην / A new book on John

Κυκλοφόρησε από τον εκδοτικό οίκο Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht ένας συλλογικός τόμος με θέμα τη διερεύνηση των φιλολογικών ειδών που συναπαρτίζουν το κατά Ιωάννην ευαγγέλιο. Κατά τα τελευταία χρόνια το ενδιαφέρον των ειδικών εστιάζεται στο ερώτημα πώς το κατά Ιωάννην αξιοποιεί τα διάφορα φιλολογικά είδη και μορφές της εποχής κατά την οποία αυτό συντάσσεται. Οι μελέτες του τόμου συζητούν την status quaestionis και διερευνούν νέες κατευθύνσεις στην εξήγηση του ευαγγελίου. Επιπλέον, αξιοποιούν αρχαίες και σύγχρονες θεωρίες για το είδος τόσο όσον αφορά το ευαγγέλιο στο σύνολό του (ευαγγέλιο, αρχαία βιογραφία, δράμα, περιπέτεια κ.ά.) κι όσον αφορά τα επιμέρους τμήματα της ιστορίας, τα οποία τελικά συναπαρτίζουν το μωσαϊκό φιλολογικών ειδών του τετάρτου ευαγγελίου.

Gilbert Vincent, "Exégèse, herméneutique, théologie. II. Les engagements théologiques de Paul Ricœur," 305-337

In the field of theology, exegesis – more than the theology suspected of adopting too speculative an approach – was a privileged companion of Paul Ricœur. But within this preference (which he never denied) lie two distinct hermeneutical approaches, which take their turn over time : the first, largely inspired by Mircea Eliade, makes much of the notion of symbol ; the second, grounded in the theory of metaphor, better allows us to see the biblical texts as literature and, thanks to a novel coupling of “the poetic” and “the possible world”, to connect literature and ethics. We will try to show in this paper that this second perspective gives more room than the first to theological discourse and to the dialectic which constitutes theology and exegesis.

Adiel Schremer, "Avot Reconsidered: Rethinking Rabbinic Judaism," 287-311

Abstract: The opening passage of tractate Avot and its claim that all of the rabbinic tradition goes back to the revelation to Moses at Sinai is frequently seen as the manifesto of rabbinic Judaism. In this paper I seek to challenge this widespread view by suggesting that Avot stems from one circle of rabbinic Judaism, which was related to Rabbi Eliezer or his followers, and it reflects specifically the ideology of that group. Indeed, a close reading of the opening passage of the Tosefta, tractate Eduyot, may suggest that the claim that all of the rabbinic tradition is rooted in Sinai was rejected by the “mainstream” of rabbinic circles in second century Palestine, that is, the rabbinic circles that produced the Mishnah and the Tosefta.

Elisheva Baumgarten, "Charitable like Abigail: The History of an Epitaph," 312-339

Abstract: This article traces the development of a narrative presenting the biblical figure of Abigail as charitable, an idea that is especially evident on early modern tombstones. The article documents different approaches to Abigail and argues that the connection between Abigail and charity originated only in medieval Europe and was a departure from earlier sources. During the Middle Ages, this narrative was introduced by medieval rabbis to justify accepting charity from female donors who contributed to the community without their husbands’ permission, a course of action that was forbidden by law. Subsequently, Abigail and charity became associated in much broader terms and this attribution appeared on early modern and modern tombstones in Germany. These changes are examined against the backdrop of Christian exegesis concerning Abigail and broad connections between the novel Jewish understandings and Christian exegesis are noted. The final part of the article summarizes these developments and discusses the value of locating changing biblical narratives for social historians and especially for scholars interested in the history of women.
