'Paul and the law' in John Chrysostom and modern scholarshipHadjioannou, Themistocles January 2005 (has links)
I have investigated the situation in Galatia in Paul’s times, the relationship between Judaism and Christianity in general and the situation in Antioch in John Chrysostom’s times. All the evidence cited in my introductory chapter points to the conclusion that the situation in fourth-century Antioch is very similar to that in first-century Galatia. This study, in part two, deals with early Christian exegesis and its methods of exegesis. It appears that early Christianity took over the existing methods of exegesis which were in use in Hellenism and Judaism adapting them to meet its own needs to confront Arianism, Nestorianism and Monophysitism in the fourth century. A special reference was made to Chrysostom outlining his education, his philosophical and spiritual formation, his use of scripture. I have also dealt with Chrysostom’s use of typology and allegory, the main methods of exegesis espoused by the schools of Antioch and of Alexandria, and his system of exegesis of Paul’s letters. Having given Chrysostom’s position within early Christian exegesis, I have proceeded, in part three, to examine Chrysostom’s understanding of Paul’s statements about the Law, comparing it with that of modern scholarship. The similarities between the situation in first–century Galatia and the situation in fourth-century Antioch, are not the only reason for taking Chrysostom’s understanding of Paul seriously. Chrysostom’s ability to analyse Paul’s rhetorical strategies, his extensive knowledge of scripture and his constant interest in searching for the literal historical meaning of scripture, make him also a good reader of Paul. Finally, and more importantly, Chrysostom’s approach to the question of Paul and the Law provides a coherent line of thought and makes sense of Paul’s views as a whole. Thus, Chrysostom might have a better understanding of Paul, and for these reasons his views should be taken seriously by modern scholarship in their effort to re-evaluate and even to revise their views in order to attain a consensus on the question of Paul and the Law.

Paulus in gemeinschaft seiner Mitarbeiter: eine Untersuchung der Kollegialmission im Corpus Paulinum und in der Apostelgeschichte (Paul in the fellowship of his co-workers: a survey of Paul among his co-workers in the Corpus Paulinum and in Acts)Drews, Alexander 30 April 2006 (has links)
This dissertation attempts to illuminate the significance of what has been called the "coworkers"
for Paul's mission. At the same time it revises the traditional portrait of Paul as a
"lone ranger", not properly understood and appreciated by others. Thus the focus is on the
way in which Paul together with his co-workers as his missionary partners achieved the
various tasks of early Chrisian mission, namely the proclamation of the gospel and the
consolidation of churches. This phenomenon is best described with the German term
Kollegialmission, i.e. a mission carried by a team of colleagues.
A survey of research is followed by a detailed analysis of this phenomenon in the letters
commonly recognised as written by Paul himself. In additon to explicit statements on the
co-workers, attention is also given to implicit references, e.g. verb forms in the first person
plural which appear in some letters and contribute to understanding this Kollegialmission.
Then the same methodological procedure is applied to the disputed letters of Paul. A final
chapter examines the portrait of Paul and his co-workers in the Book of Acts.
This dissertation demonstrates that this understanding and practice of Kollegialmission
was a central point in Paul's mission and self-understanding. His co-workers receive their
commission and authority from God, to whom they are responsible. The gospel constitutes
the foundation for this cooperation between Paul and his co-workers. Thus the co-workers
perform the same duties as Paul himself, though his special apostolate remains in place.
The picture of the Kollegialmission in the Deuteropauline letters differs only slightly from
that of the letters generally recognised as Paul's own. As the author of Acts is mainly
interested in the person of Paul, his co-workers appear increasingly on the backstage as the
story unfolds. This examination closes with an application of some principles of Paul's
Kollegialmission to present day congregational ministry and mission work. / Theology / M.Th.

MILITÄRISCHE METAPHORIK IM CORPUS PAULINUM: EINE UNTERSUCHUNG ZU VORKOMMEN UND BEDEUTUNG / Military metaphor in the Corpus Paulinum : an investigation into its occurence and meaningNell, Mathias Werner 09 1900 (has links)
Summaries in German and English / Die vorliegende Studie setzt sich mit der militärischen Metaphorik im Corpus Paulinum im Blick
auf deren Vorkommen und Bedeutung auseinander. Es zeigt sich, dass sich die militärische Rede
und deren Anwendungsbereich im Corpus Paulinum über alle dreizehn Briefe hinweg, die der
Reihe nach ihrer wahrscheinlichen chronologischen Abfassungsfolge entsprechend analysiert
werden, zu entwickeln scheint: dienen militärische Motive anfangs noch vorwiegend als
Vergleichsmomente, so werden sie im weiteren Verlauf der Briefchronologie zunehmend
identifizierend eingesetzt. Thematisch verwendet Paulus militärische Redeweise insbesondere zur
Schaffung und Wahrung von Einheit in der Gemeinde auf Grund gemeinsamer Identität sowie um
sich und die Gemeinde als »Mithineingenommene« in den transzendenten, eschatologischen
Kampf gegen Satan zu verstehen und praktisch zu verorten bzw. anzuleiten. Das Evangelium
selbst ist umkämpft, was daher auch die Missionstätigkeit des Paulus bzw. der Gemeinde als eine
geistlich-militärische Mission verstehen lässt. Als »echte Metaphern« können die militärischen
Metaphern bei Paulus weder verlustfrei ersetzt noch aufgelöst werden. / The study deals with military metaphors in the Corpus Paulinum with regard to their occurrence
and significance. It turns out that the military speech and its scope of application in the Corpus
Paulinum seems to evolve across all thirteen letters, which are analyzed in sequence according to
their probable chronological order: if military motifs serve as comparative moments at first, they
are increasingly used identically in the further course of the letter chronology. The use of military
speeches in particular serves the purpose of creating and maintaining unity in the community on
the basis of a common identity, and in order to understand and guide the community in a
transcendent, eschatological struggle against Satan. The Gospel itself is contested, which also
explains the missionary activity of Paul as a spiritual-military mission. As »real metaphors«,
Paul's military metaphors can neither be replaced or dissolved without loss. / New Testament / M. Th. (New Testament)
