Vad är en "god" herde? : Martyrologiska och offerkultiska aspekter av Jesu död i Joh 10:11–18Stenberg, Samuel January 2024 (has links)
This thesis examines the concepts of Sacrifice, Atonement, and Passion in the context of the Early Christian Johannine Tradition. Specifically, the study examines the relationship between John 10:11–18, that is, the pericope of the Good Shepherd, and John 18–19, that is, the Johannine Passion Narrative: with special focus on the theme of Jesus' death and its connection to the Maccabean martyr traditions and the Levitical cult respectively. The conclusion of the thesis is that John 10:11–18 specifically speaks of Jesus' death as a martyrological death, with parallels to the atoning deaths of the Maccabean martyrs. However, this does not imply that the death of Jesus in the Gospel of John is to be interpreted exclusively as a martyrological death. As for John 10:11–18, it seems to mainly speak of Jesus' death in martyrological terms, but undoubtedly, there are several instances in the Johannine Corpus that on the other hand seem to speak of Jesus' death in cultic terms, especially with regards to the theme of the Lamb of God in John 1:29. The aforementioned conclusion of the thesis constitutes a mediating contribution to the scholarly debate regarding the exact nature of Jesus' death in the Gospel of John, in that it speaks of Jesus' death as an atoning martyrological sacrifice – the sacrifice being the mediating factor between the two interpretive traditions.
