Jonathon Lookadoo untersucht die Metaphern des Ignatius von Antiochien vom Hohepriester und dem Tempel, um besser zu verstehen, wie Ignatius Jesus und die Kirche betrachtete. Die Metaphern vom Hohepriester und dem Tempel sind in drei der Ignatiusbriefe eng miteinander verbunden. Die vorliegende Untersuchung hilft dem Leser, Ignatius' Darstellung von Jesus' Identität und Heilswerk zu verstehen. Der Autor beleuchtet auch, wie manche in der Leserschaft des Ignatius ihre Einigkeit unter Beweis stellen sollten. Indem er jede der Metaphern im Hinblick auf ihre rhetorische Funktion in einem bestimmten Brief sowie auf ähnliche Metaphorik in früher jüdischer und christlicher Literatur untersucht, analysiert Jonathon Lookadoo die Ignatiusbriefe in einer Weise, die nicht nur für Experten auf dem Gebiet der Ignatiusbriefe von Interesse ist, sondern auch für alle, die sich mit frühchristlichen Briefen sowie der Rhetorik und Theologie der ersten beiden Jahrhunderte n. Chr. befassen.
Recent studies of the letters of Ignatius of Antioch have helpfully located seventeenth-century Ignatian scholarship in its ecclesial and political context. Of particular importance, these new works have demonstrated that seventeenth-century British analysis of the genuineness of Ignatius's letters coincided with debates about British ecclesial government and the English Civil War. This essay contributes to such studies by expanding the discussion in three ways. The first two ways extend the study of Ignatian reception backward from the seventeenth century. First, the article observes that the study of the middle recension (the earliest form of Ignatius's letters) can be found in late medieval English theological writings and manuscripts. Second, it addresses how, simultaneously, four Ignatian letters which record a correspondence between Ignatius, John the Elder, and the Virgin Mary were read in Britain. These letters highlight Ignatius's piety and apostolic links. Finally, this essay widens the scholarly narrative of seventeenth-century Ignatian studies by observing that seventeenth-century interpreters drew on late medieval citations of Ignatius and that they were concerned with Ignatius's piety as well as the interpretive puzzles in his letters.
This article takes up the matter of Paul’s education and explores it within the Roman world of education. In order to do this, the article draws upon and contributes to reception historical studies of Paul. More specifically, the article illustrates the flexibility of Paul’s education as it is described in his letters, the Acts of the Apostles, and the Acts of Paul. While Paul downplays his education in several autobiographical statements within his letters, his letters nevertheless suggest that Paul received a high level of education. The Acts of the Apostles further contributes to an early Christian portrayal of Paul as an educated figure by giving readers a Paul who speaks eloquently and presents a controversial message that can be narrated with reference to both Jewish scripture and to Graeco-Roman philosophy. The Acts of Paul presents Paul as a persuasive speaker, but the speeches contained within this narrative are generally of a more concise nature. On the other hand, the Acts of Paul presents Paul as a writer who can read and respond eloquently to highly disputed queries from other groups of believers. These texts coalesce in depicting a Paul who is well educated, but they differ in their depictions of how his education was evident in his life.
bit technical for a general readership, but it would be a fitting addition to a seminary syllabus on revelation. Diller's provocative proposal promises to enrich constructive theology for years to come.
