Nomen est omen / Boris A. Paschke in Novum Testamentum, 49/4 (2007)

Public ISBD [article]  inNovum Testamentum > 49/4 (2007) . - pp. 313-327. Titre : Nomen est omen : Warum der gekreuzigte Jesus wohl auch unter Anspielung auf seinen Namen verspottet wurde Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Boris A. Paschke, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 313-327. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : In Greco-Roman and Jewish antiquity a so-called nomen est omen principle existed. It played an important role in the mocking of individuals. This article demonstrates that the crucified Jesus might have been mocked because the (messianic) meaning of his name, i.e. “Yahweh saves,” was perceived as a stark contrast to his desolate situation on the cross. The main arguments for this new view are the observations that according to (a) the synoptic crucifixion reports the verb σωζω (= vy) is repeatedly used by Jesus' mockers; and (b) in Mt 27:43 the scribes and Pharisees use a combination of θεóζ and ρνομαι (cf. lxx Ps 21:9) to mock the crucified Jesus. Thus, the mocking words come very close to the meaning and/or sound of Jesus' name.

Reading Luke 12:13-34 as an Elaboration of a Chreia / Thomas D. Stegman in Novum Testamentum, 49/4 (2007)

Public ISBD [article]  inNovum Testamentum > 49/4 (2007) . - pp. 328-352. Titre : Reading Luke 12:13-34 as an Elaboration of a Chreia : How Hermogenes of Tarsus Sheds Light on Luke's Gospel Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Thomas D. Stegman, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 328-352. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This article argues that the logic and mode of argumentation of Luke 12:13-34 are illuminated when one reads the pericope as an elaboration of a chreia, or saying, of Jesus concerning covetousness. Specifically, this passage contains all of the elements—including rationale, contrary statement, analogy from nature, historical example, and authoritative judgment—that are outlined in a progymnastic exercise attributed to the second century C.E. rhetorician Hermogenes of Tarsus. Taken together, these elements make up what classical rhetoricians called a “complete argument.” This study serves as a complement to the earlier analysis of Luke 12:13-34 by Abraham J. Malherbe in Novum Testamentum that focused on the topos on greed.

Hebrews and the End of the Exodus / Matthew Thiessen in Novum Testamentum, 49/4 (2007)

Public ISBD [article]  inNovum Testamentum > 49/4 (2007) . - pp. 353-369. Titre : Hebrews and the End of the Exodus Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Matthew Thiessen, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 353-369. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This paper argues that the letter to the Hebrews renarrates Israel's history as an extended exodus which comes to an end as a result of Christ's high priesthood. According to the author, the promise of rest in Psalm 95 demonstrates that Joshua was unable to lead Israel into God's promised rest. Based on this exegetical key, the author rereads Israel's history, from Abraham up until the present day, as an extension of Israel's wilderness period. Nonetheless, the letter encourages its readers by narrating them into this period at the doorstep of the land of rest.

The Disputed Early Fragments of the So-Called Gospel of Peter—Once Again / Paul Foster in Novum Testamentum, 49/4 (2007)

Public ISBD [article]  inNovum Testamentum > 49/4 (2007) . - pp. 402-406. Titre : The Disputed Early Fragments of the So-Called Gospel of Peter—Once Again Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Paul Foster, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 402-406. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This article reiterates the argument that contrary to previous proposals five pieces of texttual or artefactural evidence (P.Oxy. 2949, P.Oxy. 4009. P. Vindob. G 2325. Ostracon [van Haelst Nr. 741], and P. Egerton 2) cannot be identified with any certainty as early fragments of the Gospel of Peter or, as in the case of the ostracon, as offering testimony to the existence of that text. Furthermore, this discussion also responds to the personal attack made in this journal by Prof. Lührmann who took exception with my arguments that the basis for identifying the fragments as witnesses to the Gospel of Peter was extremely slender and flimsy. Finally, the discussion states categorically, in opposition to Prof. Lührmann's assertion, that I have worked directly with the Oxyrhynchus fragments.
