Spirit and kingdom in the writings of Luke and Paul

Cho, Youngmo January 2002 (has links)
This study examines the differences between Luke and Paul’s understanding of the Spirit by examining the specific question of the relationship of the concept of the Spirit to the concept of the kingdom of God in each writer.  In Chapter 1, the research begins with a review of the significant contributions of recent scholarship about the relationship between the pneumatologies of Luke and Paul on the basis of three major positions presented by three key scholars, J.D.G. Dunn, M.M.B. Turner, and R.P. Menzies, who are the main dialogue partners in this study. Chapter 2 explores the role of the Spirit in intertestamental Jewish literature, noting that the Spirit of prophecy is here not strongly associated with life-giving wisdom.  This pattern is reflected in Luke-Acts (chapter 4) which demonstrates that Luke also does not generally understand the gift of the Spirit as the source of life-giving wisdom.  However, the pneumatological perspective found in Paul (chapter 3) is not fully mirrored in the Jewish literature.  Paul, rather, is an innovator in that he presents the Spirit as the life of the kingdom of God. Chapter 3 discusses the relationship between the Spirit in Paul and the kingdom of God in the Synoptics.  Paul’s concept of the Spirit supplants the concept of the kingdom by showing how life in the Spirit is virtually synonymous with life in the kingdom of God in the Synoptics. Chapter 4 elucidates that Luke’s dissociation of the Spirit from the kingdom blessings is a sharp contrast with Paul’s clear association between them. Chapter 5 explores the nature of the relationship between the Spirit and the kingdom in Luke-Acts.  Unlike Paul, who views the Spirit as the essence of the kingdom of God, the role of the Spirit is related in a specific or restricted way to the kingdom according to Luke.  Luke sees the Spirit as primarily the divine means by which the kingdom is proclaimed.  So, for Luke where the Spirit is at work, there the kingdom is being proclaimed.

Can we hear what they heard? : the effect of orality upon a Markan reading-event

Smith, David F. January 2002 (has links)
This dissertation arises from recent investigations in the field of orality and the potential that it has for Markan studies. Chapter one identifies the epistemological divide which separates a contemporary reading experience from one situated in the first century. Further, chapter one will focus this hermeneutical question upon the difference in how a text functions between a modern and an ancient literary critic; specifically, modern meaning versus ancient effect. Chapter two seeks to survey the nature of communication in the New Testament world and how this information was created, stored, and conveyed to its audience. Furthermore, it will seek to identify what skills were required by the manuscript’s creator, reader, and receiver(s). The goal is to define and develop the nature of a reading-event of antiquity. Chapter three will continue our prolegomena to method with a description of the complex inter-relationship between a reader, an audience, and a manuscript in the ancient world. It will be defined as a partnership whereby their respective functions commingle as they create a communal reading-event. Next, an oral hermeneutic will be described in two parts. First, it will present a summary of the historical reading-event constructed from the previous chapters. Then, an oral/performative approach will be developed under the rubric of a hypothetical reading-effect. It will be an attempt to recreate the oral/aural aspects which alert the reader and the listeners to the story’s movement. Furthermore, it will attempt to document the affective value of a hearer’s encounter with the narrative. Finally, chapter four will put into practice the aforementioned method to recreate a reading-event of the Second Gospel. We will explore how the text of Mark provides keys to the reader for how to orally present the Second Gospel. At the same time, our reading model will assist us to determine how the reading-event itself produces a controlled reading-effect upon a listening audience. Throughout the detailed work on Mark, we will attempt to show how an oral perspective reveals distinctive features which otherwise might be left unheard to silent readers.

A postcolonial reading of Mark's story of Jesus

Samuel, Simon January 2002 (has links)
This thesis reads Mark's story of Jesus from a postcolonial perspective. It proposes that Mark need not necessarily be treated in an oversimplified polarity as an anti- or pro-colonial discourse. Instead it may probably be treated as a postcolonial discourse, i. e., as a strategic essentialist and transcultural hybrid discourse that accommodates and disrupts both the native Jewish (nationalistic and collaborative) and the Roman colonial discourses of power. This thesis shows that Mark accommodates itself into a strategic third space in between the variegated native Jewish and the Roman colonial discourses in order to enunciate its own voice. As a mimetic, ambivalent and hybrid discourse it mimics and mocks, accommodates and disrupts both the native essentialist and collaborative as well as the Roman colonial voices. The portrait of Jesus in Mark, which I presume to be encoding also the portrait of a community, exhibits a colonial/ postcolonial conundrum which can neither be damned as pro- nor be praised as anti-colonial in nature. Instead the portrait of Jesus in Mark may be appreciated as a strategic essentialist and transcultural hybrid, in which the claims of difference and the desire for transculturality are both contradictorily present and visible. In showing such a comindrumic portrait and invoking a complex discursive strategy Mark as the discourse of a subject community is not alone or unique in the Greco-Roman world. A number of discourses-historical, creative novelistic and apocalyptic-of the subject Greek and Jewish communities in the eastern Mediterranean under the iniperizini of Rome from the second century BCE to the end of the first century CE exhibit very similar postcolonial traits which one may add to be not far from the postcolonial traits of a number of postcolonial creative writings and cultural discourses of the colonial subject and the dominated post-colonial communities of our time.

Ethnicity in the Gospel of Matthew with its application to ethnic issues in Burma

Khual, Gin Khan January 2003 (has links)
This thesis critically investigates the relationship between the Jewish majority and the Gentile minority in the church which gave rise to Matthew’s Gospel. That is, the investigation is one of ethnic divisions in one specific church. The central interest in this research is to examine the community life of Matthew’s church in order to discover whether there was any racial discrimination, tension, and conflict between the two ethnic groups which was exacerbated by quite different cultural backgrounds. In order to examine social division, it was necessary to study the background of the author and his community in relation to ethnicity, the requirements for entry into the Matthean community, their new group identity markers, and to analyse the community rules and leadership of Matthew. The research is done principally from a study of the text of Matthew’s Gospel and viewed from an ethnic perspective in evaluating any element relating to ethnicity. As the result of this research project, this thesis argues that Matthew accepted non-Jews also into his Christian-Jewish community regardless of ethnic origins and formed a new kinsfolk of God, but his community rules did not provide any room to accommodate the culture of the Gentile minority. This cultural intolerance caused division, tension, conflict, and finally church schism in the aftermath of the Matthean leadership. It is therefore, advisable for the present and future leadership in both Christian mission and in political administration to learn from Matthew’s failure to understand the power of culture and his lack of concern for the minority’s interest. The final argument of this thesis is to choose the alternatives of giving equal rights and privileges to both minorities and majorities, or granting devolution; whichever is preferred, all our aim should be to heal our wounded world and keep the Church catholic healthy and alive to her mission.

New Testament prophecy and the Gospel tradition

Houston, Walter January 1973 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that the Synoptic evangelists, particularly in the eschatological discourses Mt 24, Mk 13 and Lk 21, have employed traditions developed by Christian prophets; and to consider the origins and meanings of these traditions.
