| Résumé : |
Matthew 13.52c has been translated, since the time of the Church fathers, as though referring to a householder selecting items from a storehouse to share—a `metaphor of display'. However, this translation does not deal adequately with the verb Kβ. This article explores an alternative reading which maintains the normative semantic domain for the verb in terms of `disposal' or `expulsion'. The use of the verb elsewhere in Greek and biblical literature in general and in the Gospel of Matthew in particular is studied and the results of this study applied to apparent exceptions within Matthew's Gospel. The article argues that these exceptions are unnecessary and that the verb is used consistently in terms of `disposal' or `expulsion'. This thesis is then applied to Mt. 13.52 to provide a new reading. The article finally offers a possible reconstruction of why Patristic writers chose to re-interpret the original text. |

The Imperial Authority and Benefaction of Centurions and Acts 10.34-43 : A Response to C. Kavin Rowe |

| Résumé : |
C. Kavin Rowe has rightly argued that, when encountering the statement oo n n n Ku o (Acts 10.36), Luke's auditors throughout the Roman Empire would have associated this slogan with imperial-cult propaganda. The relevance of such a connection within a speech delivered to Cornelius and his household, however, requires further analysis. Evidence from Luke—Acts and other ancient literary texts and inscriptions depicts centurions as imperial authorities who—as benefactors, judges and promoters of the imperial cult— were notorious for abusing their power to the detriment of those under their authority. Alongside Luke's implicit censure of the emperor and his cult, one should understand his seemingly positive characterization of Cornelius as rhetorical irony (i.e., applying to a character traits that are contrary to reality). The more holistic criticism of the imperial cult in the context of Acts 10.34-43 includes not only the emperor, but also his subordinate authorities. |

The Use of `Story'in the Letter of Jude : Rhetorical Strategies of Jude's Narrative Episodes |
| Type de document : |

Robert L. Webb, Auteur |

| Article en page(s) : |
pp. 53-87. |

Anglais (eng) |
| Résumé : |
Jude's use of `story' is integral to his rhetorical argument. The author uses narrative episodes drawn from the Jewish scriptural tradition, the story of Jesus, and the story of the Christian community to whom he writes to accomplish his rhetorical purposes. The narrative episodes drawn from the Jewish scriptural tradition and from the story of Jesus do not create a coherent story with a plot, but the narrative episodes concerning the Christian community do have a coherent story with plot and conflict. Jude weaves narrative episodes from the Jewish scriptural tradition and from the story of Jesus into the story of the readers' Christian community in order to have a rhetorical impact on the direction of the future plot-line of this community's story. |
