4Qinstruction-fragmente en ander wysheidsgeskrifte : 'n ondersoek na intertekstualiteit (Afrikaans)

Geyser, Anna Barbara 10 January 2007 (has links)
AFRIKAANS: In die laat tagtigs en vroeë negentigs van hierdie eeu is die res van die Oumran-geskrifte wat ontdek is, openbaar gemaak. Met die gebeurtenis het talle moontlikhede vir die wetenskaplike bestudering van 'n groot aantal dokumente ontstaan. 4Qlnstruction is een van die dokumente wat beskikbaar geraak het, en is geklassifiseer as 'n wysheidsteks wat 'n legio moontlikhede vir wetenskaplike bestudering moontlik gemaak het. As gevolg van die fragmentariese aard van die teks bestaan daar nog geen vasgestelde teks vir die geskrif nie en is daar nog nie 'n volledige vertaling nie. Hierdie twee faktore asook die feit dat die fragmente tematiese ooreenstemming (maar ook verskille) toon met ander wysheidsgeskrifte, het as motivering vir hierdie studie gedien. In hierdie studie gee ek 'n eie komposisie van die teks asook 'n vertaling van die geselekteerde fragmente (4Q417 2i-ii en 4Q416 2ii-iv ) van 4Qlnstruction weer. Deur middel van intertekstualiteit word die fragmente vergelyk met ander wysheidsgeskrifte (Ben Sira, ander Qumran-geskrifte en Spreuke) uit die Israelitiese geledere, Bepaalde wysheidstemas is in die fragmente geïdentifiseer, waarna dit met ooreenstemmende temas in die ander geselekteerde geskrifte vergelyk is, Die intertekstuele studie behels 'n bestudering van die geskrewe teks sowel as die gebeurde teks, Die onderskeie geskrifte se tekste sowel as kontekste is met ander woorde met mekaar vergelyk, in 'n poging om die rede(s) vir die ooreenstemmende asook verskillende opvattings oor soortgelyke temas binne die Israelitiese 'biblioteek' te verklaar. Na aanleiding van die intertekstuele studie wi! dit voorkom asof die ooreenstemminge voor die deur van die 'bronteks' (oorspronklike teks) gelê kan word, terwyl die verskille meer verstaanbaar is in die Iig van die onderskeie geskrifte se omstandighede (konteks/ sosiaie teks). ENGLISH: In the late eighties and the early nineties of this century most of the Oumran texts which were discovered were made public. Along with this, many opportunities arose for scholars to study the many documents contained therein. 4Qlnstruction is one of the documents which became available and as a result thereof, a wide range of opportunities opened up to scholars. Due to the fragmentary nature of the text, there is as yet no formal text of the document available. The motivation for this study arises from the above mentioned factors along with the fact that the fragments have both similarities and differences within certain themes. In this study I am presenting my own reconstruction and translation of selected 4Qlnstruction fragments (4Q417 2i-ii and 4Q416 2ii-iv). By using intertextual study, the fragments are compared with other wisdom texts (Ben Sira, other Qumran texts and Proverbs) from the Israelite 'library'. Certain wisdom themes are identified in the fragments and compared with similar themes in the other selected texts. The Intertextual study involves a study of the written text(s) as well as of the actual events (social text). Hence, the text(s) and context(s) of the selected works are compared with each other in an attempt to explain the reasons for the similarities as well as the varying opinions within the similar wisdom themes contained in the Israelite 'library'. In the Intertextual approach, it appears as if the similarities can be attributed to the original Israelite theology or ideology, while the differences are due to the varying situations (context/ social text). / Dissertation (MA (Semitic Languages))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Ancient Languages / unrestricted

Aspects of the Sabbath in the late second Temple period

Lizorkin, Ilya 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil (Ancient Studies)--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / This thesis is a study of five books (Jubilees, 1 and 2 Maccabees, the Damascus Document and Josephus Jewish Antiquities) that represent the literature dealing with the issue of the Sabbath in significant ways, written between 200 B.C.E. and 100 C.E. In this study the author is determined to find the most prominent ways in which various Jews of the period treated the Sabbath, considering both its theological significance and actual practical application. The author seeks to apply the literary-critical method to the study of these books by identifying how the Sabbath pericopes fit into the larger structure of each book and contribute to the overall argument of each work. After dealing with introductory issues, such as terms, methods, historical settings and methodology, the author then works through the major Sabbath-related pericopes in each book followed by a concluding summary for each book. Then author moves from detailed individual conclusions to general summaries, seeking to deduce the “big picture” of the Judaisms represented in the five works that he researched. Throughout the thesis the author is asking all of the texts the following questions: Was there a major Jewish view of the Sabbath or were the views varied within Judaisms? Was the Sabbath one of the most important issues facing the Jewish Community or was it rather a peripheral one? What was the place of Covenant with YHWH in the Sabbath thought of the day? What was the impact of the historical events of the period on the views of the Sabbath? Was the understanding(s) of the Sabbath legalistic or was there a depth of heartfelt spirituality accompanying Sabbath observance? Were the rules with regard to the Sabbath actually carried out or were they largely ignored? At the conclusion he attempts to answer these questions point by point based upon the data that he collected by studying the passages related to the Sabbath observance within the books mentioned above. This study is preliminary in nature, since it attempts to provide only some background information to the question: Did the Jewish Christians of the first century change the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday? If so, how did they do so while managing to avoid any kind of major debate over the change? This question the author plans to pursue in his forthcoming research.

La Vie de la bienheureuse Vierge Marie dans les traditions apocryphes syro-orientales / The Life of the blessed Virgin Mary in the Syro-Oriental apocryphal traditions

Ariño-Durand, Miguel 27 November 2014 (has links)
Femme à la destinée unique, la Vierge Marie a suscité intérêt, passion et engouement tout au long des siècles de l’Ère chrétienne. Elle a inspiré artistes, écrivains et prédicateurs et sa vie a fait l’objet de récits exemplaires. La Vie de la Vierge traverse l’histoire de la littérature syriaque. Ce ne sont pas moins de 23 manuscrits syro-orientaux qui sont parvenus jusqu’à nous. Relativement récents puisqu’ils ont été copiés de 1243 à 1917 AD, ils plongent leurs racines dans des textes bien plus anciens. Dans un premier volume, la copie d’un manuscrit de la fin du XIIIe siècle, conservé au monastère Notre-Dame des Semences d’Alqoš, dans l’Irak actuel, a été choisie, en raison de son exhaustivité, pour une édition complète et une première traduction en français. Un apparat critique très important puisqu’il concerne 18 manuscrits – 5 manuscrits ne sont malheureusement pas accessibles actuellement – vient compléter ce travail d’édition et permet l’établissement d’un stemma qui met en lumière l’existence de quatre familles de manuscrits, avec un manuscrit singulier, copie d’une version syro-orientale originelle aujourd’hui perdue. Dans un second volume, le commentaire de l’œuvre souligne la singularité de ce texte apocryphe chrétien syro-oriental. Il s’agit bien pour son auteur d’annoncer le Christ Jésus qui, par son incarnation, vient rétablir la création déchue dans son harmonie originelle et racheter l’humanité. Il le fait en présentant la vie de Marie, sa mère. Elle est alors la femme qui transcende toutes époques et tous lieux et devient une incarnation de l’éternel féminin. / A woman with a singular destiny, the Virgin Mary has caused interest, enthusiasm and even passion throughout the centuries of the Christian era. She has inspired artists, writers and preachers; and her life has been the object of narratives to be imitated. The Life of the Virgin can be found over the course of the history of Syriac literature. There are no fewer than 23 Syro-Oriental manuscripts that have come down to us. They are relatively recent. There were copied from 1243 to 1917 AD, with roots in much older texts. In the first volume, a copy of a manuscript from the end of the 13th century, kept at the monastery of Our Lady of the Seeds in Alqoš, in modern day Iraq, has been chosen, because of its exhaustiveness to serve as a complete edition and a first translation into French. It contains a very important critical apparatus since it compares 18 manuscripts, unfortunately, however, 5 manuscripts are not accessible currently. This apparatus complements this edition and allows for the establishment of a stemma which clarifies the existence of four families of manuscripts, with a single manuscript, that is a copy of an original Syro-Oriental version now lost. In the second volume, the commentary on the text underlines the uniqueness of this Syro-Oriental Christian apocryphal writing. It is clear that its author wants to announce Jesus Christ who, by his incarnation, comes to restore fallen creation to its original harmony and to redeem humanity. He does this by presenting the life of Mary, his mother. She is then the woman who transcends all times and places and becomes the incarnation of the éternel féminin.

Wisdom and apocalyptic in the Gospel of Matthew : a comparative study with 1 Enoch and 4QInstruction

Macaskill, Grant January 2005 (has links)
Recent scholarship has demonstrated that Matthew's gospel has significantly developed both sapiential and apocalyptic elements within its narrative. Little attention has been paid, however, to the question of how these two features of Matthew's gospel might relate to one another. It is this gap in scholarly literature that the present study is intended to fill, by means of a comparative study with two other texts of mixed genre: 1 Enoch and 4QInstruction. An examination of these texts demonstrates that each is marked by an inaugurated eschatology, within which the revealing of wisdom to an elect group, defined in distinction to the Jewish parent group, serves as the pivotal moment of inauguration. In addition, within 4QInstruction the idea is developed that possession of this revealed wisdom allows the remnant to live in fidelity to the will of the Creator and to the patterns built-in to the original creation. Thus, possession of revealed wisdom facilitates a recovery of creation. These findings provide lines of enquiry that may be brought to Matthew. Three sections of the gospel are examined (chapters 5-7; 11-12; 24-25). It is argued that Jesus is presented as an eschatological figure who reveals wisdom to an elect group. This wisdom cannot be reduced to great moral insight or interpretation of Torah, but is presented as prophetic revelation, happening in eschatological time. It remains the case, however, that Matthew presents it as wisdom and presents Jesus as a sage. More tentatively, it is suggested that creation provides the patterns for the ethical requirements of Jesus' wisdom, thus indicating that the idea of restored creation is also at work in Matthew. The fall of the temple may also be connected in Matthew's narrative to such a restoration, but again, the evidence for this is not clear.

L’usage du thème apocryphe de la diuisio apostolorum dans la construction des représentations chrétiennes du temps et de l’espace (Ier-IXe siècles) / Use of the Apocryphal Theme of diuisioapostolorum in the Development of the Christian Representations of Time and Space (1st-9th Century AD)

Levillayer, Amaury 26 January 2012 (has links)
La diuisioapostolorum (« dispersion apostolique ») est un thème apocryphe qui traverse l’ensemble des lettres et des arts chrétiens de l’Antiquité et du Moyen Âge. Dans sa plus large acception, il désigne tout ce qui se rapporte au partage du monde entre les apôtres (réunion, tirage au sort), à son évangélisation (envoi et réalisation de la mission), à la fondation de sanctuaires ainsi qu’à la mort et au tombeau de ces prestigieuses figures, amiciDei. En se plaçant au niveau des représentations chrétiennes du temps et de l’espace, l’analyse de la documentation textuelle grecque et latine entre le Ier et le IXe siècle – en particulier des catalogues d’apôtres et de disciples – nous a permis de montrer que l’usage de ce thème par les lettrés témoigne à la fois de la diffusion universelle du projet chrétien de société et d’un processus double de spatialisation et de temporalisation du sacré, en ce qu’il promeut un certain nombre de loci en rapport avec la mémoire d’une communauté. Par l’établissement de parallèles entre les catalogues et d’autres genres de textes (acta, historia, gesta episcoporum), nous avons souligné que ce processus, du fait qu’il bénéficie d’abord à l’autorité dont dépend le locus valorisé, est potentiellement soutenu par elle : on a donc traité également la question de l’accaparement de l’identité civique par l’évêque. / Diuisioapostolorum (« Apostles’ dispersion ») is a recurrent apocryphal theme throughout ancient and medieval Christian humanities and arts. In the widest sense, it refers to everything concerning the division of the world between the Apostles (reunions, draws), the evangelization of the world (sending and mission), and the foundation of sanctuaries, as well as the death and tombs of these prestigious figures: amici Dei. With a focus on Christian representations of time and space, our analysis of 1st-9th Century Greek and Latin Textual documentation – in particular, lists of Apostles and disciples – has enabled us to show that the use of this theme is a testimony to both the universal dissemination of the Christian vision of society, and a dual process of spatialization and temporalization of the sacred, as it promotes a number of loci linked to the memory of a community. Paralleling the lists with other types of written works (acta, historia, gestaepiscoporum), we have highlighted the fact that this process, by benefiting in the first place the authority under which the locus is placed, was potentially supported by said authority. For this reason, we have also dealt with the question of the monopolizing of civil identity by the bishops.

Literární vztah mezi Markovým a Tomášovým evangeliem / Literary Relationship between the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of Thomas

Eder, Pavel January 2020 (has links)
The thesis Literary Relationship Between the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of Thomas aims to provide a closer look at the relationship between the ca- nonical Gospel According to Mark and the apocryphal Gospel According to Thomas. The first part of the thesis serves as an introduction: After prolego- mena to the Gospel of Mark and Thomas, it focuses on several contempora- ry hypotheses of the literary relationship between the Gospel of Thomas and Synoptics, as discussed in more recent articles and monographs. Thereafter, the second part of the thesis presents three studies of Thoma- sian and Markan sayings of Jesus. Where necessary, an excursion is made to other synoptic writings. The second part uses the method of linguistic comparison in order to reconstruct the redaction history and thus explain the original literary relationship of these two ancient writings.

Obraz Jidáše Iškariotského v soudobém bádání a kulturních kontextech / The Picture of Judas Iscariot in Contemporary Research and Cultural Contexts.

Poláková, Alžběta January 2020 (has links)
This diploma thesis attempts to outline the image of Judas in a long-lasting tradition and follows the references of this character in canonical and non-canonical reports. It is an extension of the author's bachelor's thesis, which was dedicated to the analysis of biblical and Gnostic texts concerning the figure of Judas. For this reason, the author does not deal with a detailed analysis of these texts in this work and directly refers the reader to it (the work is available for inspection in the Repository of Final Theses of Charles University). The first chapters are devoted to reports from the Gospels and Paul's works, which the author serves primarily as a springboard for the introduction of various conceptions of the person of Judas, and which became the basis for the development of a tradition in the following centuries. In addition to canonical messages, the author encounters motives from non-canonical and apocryphal texts related to Judas, which have influenced the tradition of perception of one of Jesus' disciples to a similar extent. One of the subchapters is also devoted to the text of the Book of the Cock, which is not available in Czech, and to not very well-known topics that have not been very successful in the official church tradition. In the following chapters, the author identifies...

BEFORE ‘CHURCH’: POLITICAL, ETHNO-RELIGIOUS, AND THEOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE COLLECTIVE DESIGNATION OF PAULINE CHRIST-FOLLOWERS AS EKKLĒSIAI

Korner, Ralph J. 04 1900 (has links)
<p>In this study I situate socio-historically the adoption of the term <em>ekklēsia</em> as a permanent collective identity by early Christ-followers, particularly Pauline ones. I contribute to at least four areas of <em>ekklēsia</em> research. First, my examination of almost 1900 inscriptional occurrences of the word <em>ekklēsia</em> indicates a lack of evidence for a non-civic association self-identifying collectively as an <em>ekklēsia</em>. Second, I develop the preliminary observation by Runesson, Binder, and Olsson (2008) that <em>ekklēsia</em> can refer either to a gathering of Jews or to the self-designation of a Jewish community, i.e., that <em>ekklēsia</em> is one among several terms that can be translated into English as “synagogue.” This problematizes, from an institutional perspective, suggestions common in scholarship that Paul was “parting ways” with Judaism(s), ‘Jewishness,’ or Jewish organizational forms. Third, given both that non-Jewish Christ-followers could not be designated using the ethno-religious term “Israel” and that <em>ekklēsia</em> is a Jewish synagogue term, Paul’s designation of his multi-ethnic communities as <em>ekklēsiai</em> allowed gentiles qua gentiles to share with Torah observant Jews qua Jews in God’s salvation history with Israel. <em>Ekklēsia</em>, thus, does not indicate an inherently supersessionist identity for communities designated by this term. Fourth, Paul’s adoption of a political identity (civic <em>ekklēsia</em>) for his communities need not imply his promotion of counter-imperial civic ideology. Greek literary (e.g., Plutarch) and inscriptional evidence suggests that if an Imperial period non-civic group (e.g., voluntary association) self-designated as an <em>ekklēsia</em>, it could have been perceived as a positive, rather than as an anti-Roman, participant in society.</p> / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Bakens van die Ou Testamentiese Kanonontwikkeling binne die eerste vyf eeue van die Christendom

Pretorius, Wilhelm 30 June 2008 (has links)
The dissertation identifies the beacons of canon development during the first five hundred years of Christianity. These beacons are processes, events and certain persons from general as well as dogmatic history, which played a formative role in canon development. The beacons are placed within the historical, geographical and theological milieu, in which it took place. It especially emphasises the role of human conduct and decisions in the process of canon development. It provides a background of the development of a complex Judaism as the origin of Christianity, and demonstrates the continuous impact of Judaism on Christian canon development. The differences presented between these two independent religions are also mentioned. / Systematic Theology & Theological Ethics / M. Th. (Systematic Theology & Theological Ethics)
