Public ISBD [article]  inNovum Testamentum > 54/3 (2012) . - 209-235 Titre : The Earliest Manuscript Title of Matthew’s Gospel (BnF Suppl. gr. 1120 ii 3 / 4) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Simon J. Gathercole, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : 209-235 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : A flyleaf bearing the title of Matthew’s gospel, found with the Luke fragments of 4 (henceforth P4), has been neglected in studies of P4 as well as in editions of the Greek New Testament. This article publishes for the first time a photograph of the flyleaf, and seeks to provide an accurate transcription of the often misspelled title. It also discusses the various factors impinging upon the date of the fragment, such as the Philo codex in which it was found and the apostrophe in the middle of Matthew’s name. A date in the late second or early third century makes best sense of the evidence, making this neglected flyfleaf the earliest manuscript title of Matthew’s gospel.

Kontinuität und Neuanfang bei Lukas Göttliches Handeln an der Zeitenwende / Christian Blumenthal in Novum Testamentum, 54/3 (2012)

Public ISBD [article]  inNovum Testamentum > 54/3 (2012) . - 236-257 Titre : Kontinuität und Neuanfang bei Lukas Göttliches Handeln an der Zeitenwende Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Christian Blumenthal, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : 236-257 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Recent approaches towards Luke 1 have accentuated the theocentric perspective of this narrative, which also lead towards emphasizing a relationship of continuity between John and Jesus. This theocentric perspective, however, has only scarcely been described in terms of narratology. The following analysis describes what is told about God in Luke 1 and how it is told. By employing the narratological distinction between “story” and “discourse” it becomes evident that Luke’s way of writing about God’s action, reflects his attempt to achieve a balance between continuity and new beginning in his concept of history. Concerning the relationship between the figures of John and Jesus, it follows that they belong together in their common relationship with God, but at the same time a caesura is marked between them that highlights the role of Jesus.

The shepherds recall the “royal foundling” myth; the manger recalls reproaches of the Old Israel—at once signs of birth and burial.

Paul’s New Family in Thessalonica / Trevor J. Burke in Novum Testamentum, 54/3 (2012)

Public ISBD [article]  inNovum Testamentum > 54/3 (2012) . - 269-287 Titre : Paul’s New Family in Thessalonica Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Trevor J. Burke, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : 269-287 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The ongoing debate about the structure of the earliest Christian communities—an issue of Christian origins—continues to divide Pauline interpreters. While some (e.g. E. Schüssler Fiorenza) are of the view that Paul’s communities were “egalitarian” at the outset only to become more rigid and organized with the passing of time, others ( J.H. Elliott) argue that Paul’s churches were more structured from their earliest inception. Still others have had a change of mind on this issue. In all of this, Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians has not been given due consideration. Against the social context of the period, Paul’s relationships—predominantly described in familial terms—with this community is explored. Paul’s parental (nursing-mother, 2:7; father, 2:11) relations towards his convert-children (2:7, 11) show his preference of situating himself above them. Moreover, the Thessalonians’ relations to one another as siblings, often understood as imbued with egalitarianism, also demonstrate a similar degree of differentiation (1 Thess 5:12-15) within the community—some siblings are given to lead, to be respected and to admonish the rest. It is concluded that rather than viewing the community at Thessalonica as egalitarian in composition there is evidence here, in what is regarded by many to be Paul’s earliest extant letter that some degree of structure was in place at the very beginning.

The paleography of the fragment is further scrutinized and the remaining questions concerning the text of this important fragment are raised and discussed.
