The Patristic Reception of the Speakers in John 3

Paulovkin, Jeremy S. 09 November 2015 (has links)
The identification of the speakers in John 3:13-21 and 3:31-36 has remained a longstanding question in biblical studies, confirmed by the difference of opinion in commentaries and the lack of agreement over the placement of quotation marks in contemporary versions of the Bible. The scholarly debate has centered on whether these passages ought to be interpreted as continuations of the words of Jesus and the Baptist, or as authorial commentary appended to their respective discourses. The purpose of this study was to remedy this interpretive difficulty by approaching the question from a wholly different angle: that of tracing the reception history of John 3 in the patristic period (up to A.D. 450). By critically surveying how these earliest readers of John’s Gospel interpreted the speakers, this thesis provides a fresh basis for evaluating the divergent theories of modern commentators and for reconsidering the placement of quotation marks in Bible versions.

Jesus en die buitestaanders in Johannes 4

Marais, Bennie January 2017 (has links)
Summary This study deals with Jesus and the outsiders in John 4, with particular focus on John 4:1-42. Methodologically, the study focuses on social identity theory, and asks the question of how Jesus gets the Samaritan woman, who is a member of the outside group, into the insider group. The focus of the study is thus what the behaviour and attitude of the historical and non-conventional Jesus, in the strongly hierarchical social structure of his day, was toward outsiders. John 4:1-42 is often used in works that focus on missional tendencies in the church. This research attempts to place the missionary responsibility of the church on the table in a new light, resulting from the research results. Firstly, the inter-relational connection between identity, ethos and ethics with regard to Jesus’ attitude toward the outsiders in John 4:1-42 is researched. Secondly, the interpretation history of John is described, whereafter the social-scientific approach and the way in which social identity theory can be applied to John 4:1-42, is described. The purpose of the study is to suggest a new missional approach for the church, based on the research results of the study. In John 4:1-42 Jesus did not only repair the relationship between Him as a Jew and the Samaritan woman, but also the broken relationship between the Samaritans and the Jews - two previously conflicting ethnic groups who are now born into the new family of God (John 1:12). In the narrative, the Samaritan woman becomes a μαρτυρούσης (John 4:39). The result of the Samaritan woman’s testimony (John 4:39) becomes a personal testimony that eventually convinces the others of Jesus’ true identity (John 4:39). The woman’s testimony provided the initial impetus for them to come to Jesus, but now they have heard for themselves and have drawn their own conclusion. Many had believed in Jesus on account of the Samaritan woman’s testimony. Many more believed on account of Jesus’ word. Jesus’ harvest among the Samaritans therefore signals the return of a part of the unbelieving world to God as a first sign of the universal scope of Jesus’ saving mission. / Thesis (PhD)-- University of Pretoria 2017. / New Testament Studies / PhD / Unrestricted

Marturia in the Gospel of John : towards an emerging, missional ecclesiology within a South African Dutch Reformed context

Smit, Guillaume H 08 June 2011 (has links)
In “Marturia and the Gospel of John” the following hypothesis is investigated: Theological investigation of the ìáñôõñéá lexeme in the Gospel of John contributes significantly towards an understanding of an emerging, missional ecclesiology. The study is precipitated by the accelerated pace of change our society is currently experiencing. The technological developments of the past fifty years created a society that is totally dependent on the technology it developed. This dependence led to the developing of a new cultural paradigm in which the church is ill at home. Not only are the ecclesial structures ill-adapted to effectively minister to people who increasingly live in a different cultural milieu, but also the premises upon which itstheology is built, has increasingly come under scrutiny. The question of an emerging, missional ecclesiology is therefore not only a question of developing new ministry praxis. Neither is it a matter of reframing theological theses with new metaphors. A growing realisation exists of the need for theological research from the perspective of this developing new paradigm. Theology needs to turn to Scripture in a quest for such answers and it is proposed that a hermeneutic approach should be taken towards this investigation. This exegetical study is conducted from a New Testament perspective, specifically focusing on the Gospel of John. It is done through a sequential reading of the Gospel with special emphasis on the pericopes that contain the word-group, marturiva. Finally, the insights gathered from this study are systemized into a framework that aims to contribute towards the further development of an emerging, missional ecclesiology. It will be argued that ecclesiology serves as the integration point for reflection and practical missional ministry. As such, the church as object of investigation is the ultimate technological praxis, as the community of believers serves as the show-case of God’s presence in this world, as sacrament of his redemptive mission, and as mediator of the governance in his kingdom. Outline of the study In Chapter One attention is given to the changing cultural paradigm and the implications this holds for ministry as well as for theology. These changes are presented as the study’s research problem. The Gospel of John is also introduced as a case study in the ongoing development of an emerging, missional ecclesiology as foundational cornerstone to a postmodern theological paradigm. In Chapter Two the framework from which the hermeneutical study is undertaken, is established. A bird’s eye view of the Gospel of John is attempted and a preliminary investigation into the marturiva lexeme is also undertaken. Chapter Three investigates the testimony of John the Baptist, as recounted in John’s Gospel from John 1-4. Chapter Four reads the second part of Jesus’ public ministry, starting with John 5 and continuing until John concludes his narrative of this section of Jesus’ mission in John 12. Chapter Five studies John’s account of Jesus’ conversation with his disciples in John 13-17. It also reads John 18-21, which comprises of the Passion narrative and the Epilogue to the Gospel. In Chapter Six the matter at hand will be the development of an emerging, missional ecclesiology as a result of the exegetical study of John’s Gospel. Finally, we conclude the study by exploring some issues that need further investigation. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2011. / New Testament Studies / unrestricted

THE JOHANNINE COMMUNITY, THE SYNOPTIC GOSPELS, AND THE TRADITIONS BEHIND JOHN’S RESURRECTION NARRATIVE

Unknown Date (has links)
What sources informed the resurrection narrative of Jesus in the Gospel of John? Some scholars argue that the author of John used the Synoptic Gospels along with oral traditions as sources, but others maintain that John used only independent traditions to write his resurrection story. This paper argues that John did not use the Synoptics for this narrative because the reconstructed history of the Johannine community provides an adequate basis for postulating independent traditions which succeed at explaining both the similarities and differences between John and the Synoptics. While it does not claim to prove that the author was unaware of the Synoptics, it maintains that the evidence for the use of those Gospels in addition to tradition is too weak, whereas independent traditions alone can account for the material. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2020. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Johannine Portrayal of Jesus: Mapping “I Am” in the Gospel of John

Ma, Yan 11 1900 (has links)
Since the Greek phrase ἐγώ εἰµι has been used as a form of the divine name by God to reveal himself in the Septuagint, biblical scholars generally acknowledge that the appropriate interpretation of this phrase is important for understanding John’s unique presentation of Jesus. However, scholars have not reached a consensus on the interpretation of Johannine “I am” and there are several problems with contemporary interpretive works. First, the extant studies rely heavily on the background of the “I am” phrase and draw their conclusions almost on the basis of diachronic data only. Consequently, the significance of this phrase in the Gospel of John itself has not been fully understood. Second, the linguistic features that are actually essential for the appropriate interpretation of this particular linguistic structure have not been fully assessed in current biblical scholarship. Third, the existing research normally interprets the “I am” phrases individually but fails to explore the relationship between these uses. In the Gospel of John, the Greek phrase ἐγώ εἰµι and its variants occur in Jesus’ utterances in thirty-one verses, namely John 4:26; 6:20, 35, 41, 48, 51; 7:34, 36; 8:12, 18, 23, 24, 28, 58; 10:7, 9, 11, 14; 11:25; 12:26; 13:19; 14:3, 6; 15:1, 5; 17:14, 16, 24; 18:5, 6, 8. This study conducts a discourse analysis based on the theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) to interpret these thirty-one occurrences of “I am” in Jesus’ utterances, concentrating on their interpretation and significance within the Johannine context. This new methodological framework can analyze the linguistic features of the New Testament text and may offer new insights into the current research of Johannine “I am” in most regards. Examining the function of this phrase through a functional-semantic analysis and a rhetorical-relational analysis, this study argues that the thirty-one occurrences of “I am” in Jesus’ utterances throughout the Gospel of John reinforce John’s portrayal of Jesus’ divinity. According to John’s construing of Jesus’ divinity, this study demonstrates how Johannine Christology is expressed through the narrative of John’s Gospel with various textual characteristics.

Contemporary implications of the first-century counter-ethos of Jesus to the scripted universe of gender and health in John 4 & 9 : a narrative-critical analysis

De Milander, Cornelia 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2015. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africans are confronted on a daily basis with the social inequality among individuals which greatly inspires violence, victimisation, discrimination and life-denying ethos. These acts of injustice are not simply inspired by formal laws and policies, but spurred on by various ideological and symbolic categories and power structures. In a way, social behaviour can be said to be ‘scripted’ by the ideologies, perceptions and language internalised, normalised and passed on within society at large. One does not have to look very far to see the way in which this ‘script’ functions in South Africa and what impact the pre-determined and ‘scripted’ identity markers of gender and health have on individuals and groups, as categories like man, woman, HIV positive, and disabled already trigger a set of preconceived ideas and expectations regarding these individuals. The normalisation of this ‘script’ and its social hierarchies is extremely counter-productive as it often pre-determines the value, abilities, potential, limitations and ‘appropriate’ ethos of individuals and groups on the basis of the categories they fall into. The scripted nature of society is however not a twenty-first century phenomenon, but something deeply integral also to life in first century Palestine. This script interpreted, determined and reinforced the prescribed status, agency and ethos of different individuals and identity markers of health and gender were paramount in this process of scripting. Part of this ‘scripted’ world was Jesus of Nazareth. However, upon reading the narratives of John 4:1-42 and 9:1-41, it would appear that the relationship between the societal script and the actual ethos of Jesus was anything but simplistic. Upon reading these two episodes against the grain of the first century societal script, Jesus’ ethos as a Jewish man in relation to a somewhat questionable Samaritan female and blind and impure beggar brings forth some inconsistencies toward the script. It would seem as if Jesus was reluctant to read his context one dimensionally and simply comply with popular custom and ideology. The aim of this study would therefore be to explore whether these inconsistencies between the societal script and the ethos of Jesus could be of any significance in an analogously scripted twenty-first century South Africa, a society pleading for critical reflection upon the societal script. When the possible ‘counter-ethos’ of Jesus is considered, faith communities might be challenged to embrace the fragility of social categories and hierarchies and perhaps embody a similar critical attitude and ethos toward the life-denying societal script and its taken-for-granted assumptions. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrikaners word daagliks gekonfronteer met die sosiaal ongelyke stand van ons samelewing. Hierdie ongelykhede is grootliks verantwoordelik vir geweld, viktimisasie, diskriminasie en nie-lewensgewende etos. Die bogenoemde word egter nie bloot deur formele wette geïnspireer nie, maar aangevuur deur verskeie ideologiese en simboliese kategorieë en magstrukture. Sosiale gedrag kan as’t ware gesien word as ʼn voorafbepaalde teks, ondersteun deur die ideologieë, persepsies en taal wat ons internaliseer, normaliseer en aan ander oordra. Hierdie voorafbepaalde ‘samelewingsteks’ is uiters prominent in Suid-Afrika, waar ʼn bepaalde status, etos en grense dikwels aan individue gegee word op die basis van identiteits-merkers van onder andere gender en gesondheid. Die identifisering van iemand as man, vrou, MIV positief, gestremd, ensovoorts spreek ideologiese boekdele van hul plek, doel en perke in die samelewing. In hierdie sin dien die vooropgestelde ‘samelewingsteks’ ʼn uiters teenproduktiewe rol, aangesien dit die waarde, vermoëns, potensiaal, en ‘korrekte’ etos van individue vooraf bepaal op grond van die simboliese kategorieë waarin hul val. Die voorafbepaalde ‘samelewingsteks’ herbevestig dikwels sosiale hiërargieë, wat ongeregtigheid normaliseer en bevorder. Hierdie is egter nie net ʼn een-en-twintigste eeu se verskynsel nie, maar iets wat al reeds prominent voorgekom het in eerste eeu se Palestina. Hierdie ‘samelewingsteks’ het die gepaste status en etos van verskillende individue bepaal op die grond van identiteits-merkers, soos die van gender en gesondheid. Dit is ook die samelewing waarin Jesus van Nasaret homself bevind het. Wanneer die narratiewe van Johannes 4:1-42 en 9:1-41 gelees word, kom dit egter voor asof die verhouding tussen hierdie ‘samelewingsteks’ en die etos beliggaam deur Jesus kompleks was. Wanneer die twee episodes in lig van die voorafbepaalde ‘samelewingsteks’ gelees word, blyk Jesus, ʼn Joodse man, se etos teenoor ʼn redelike verdagte Samaritaanse vrou en blinde en onreine bedelaar in spanning te wees met die etos aan hom voorgeskryf. Dit sou voorkom asof Jesus gewaak het teen die eenvoudige beliggaming van wat deur die ‘samelewingsteks’ as gehoord voorgeskryf en verwag is. Die doel van hierdie studie sou daarom wees om te ondersoek of die spanning tussen die eerste eeu se ‘samelewingsteks’ en die ware beliggaamde etos van Jesus enigsins betekenisvol kan wees in lyn van die een-en-twintigste eeu se voorafbepaalde ‘samelewingsteks’ in ʼn land wat ryp is vir kritiese refleksie op dit wat as ‘normaal’ en ‘korrek’ beskou word. Die moontlike ‘kontra-etos' van Jesus kan geloofsgemeenskappe uitdaag om die broosheid van sosiale en simboliese kategorieë en hiërargieë aan te gryp en ʼn soortgelyke kritiese houding en etos teenoor die nie-lewegewende ‘samelewingsteks’ en sy voorveronderstellings te beliggaam.

This term has been habitually utilized both inside civilian and religious environment, however for Christian language, its root is of the essence of what is "bear witness"; in particular, what presents the Gospel. This paper presents a reflection on the concept of witness and its evolution, beginning with the development of this term in Greek culture, from the Old Testament and Jewish culture to reach the New Testament. The center of this reflection is the Gospel of John, with a focus on chapter 19 verse 35: And he who has seen has borne witness . This has been presented by Johannine Tradition and posteriorly by Church History development. The testimony is the key to biblical language and therefore also becomes something essential for today´s Christians / O conceito de testemunha (mártir) se desenvolveu de diversas formas ao longo da história. Este termo é utilizado comumente nos ambientes civis e religiosos, porém, para a linguagem cristã a sua radicalidade está na essência do que é ser testemunha , em especial, naquilo que apresenta o Evangelho. Este trabalho visa apresentar uma reflexão sobre o conceito de testemunha e sua evolução, iniciando com o desenvolvimento desse termo na cultura grega, passando pelo Antigo Testamento e cultura judaica até chegar ao Novo Testamento. O centro desta reflexão é o Evangelho de João, com um foco no versículo 35 do capítulo 19: E o que viu testemunha . Isso baseado no que é apresentado pela Tradição Joanina e, posteriormente, seu desenvolvimento na História da Igreja. O testemunho é algo fundamental para linguagem bíblica e, por isso, se torna também algo necessário para a vivência cristã na atualidade

Heroes on the scene: the paradigmatic countercultual construction of mesochristology Johannine. Thesis (PostGraduate Program in Religious Studies) - Pontifical Catholic University of Goias, 2018. This investigation has as object of research the hero incarnation homologesis (confession), in Jo 1,14. Using a diachronic-synchronic analytical methodological referential of pendular type, the objective is to carry out the exegetical-reconstitutive tracing of the Christological content implicit in Jo 1,14 and its interface with the socioreligious context experienced by the Johannine groups. In response to this demand, the hypothesis to be demonstrated is that the discourse of the Johannine hero's incarnation, structured within a prologue sequential poetic, echoes the Christological saga of the community and reveals the genetic-noematic configuration of the Johannine mesochristology. It is a protocristological model that is made heterotopic and theo-political construction in relation to the Roman apotheosis, and, therefore, establishes itself as Christolatric, Christocentric and paradigmatic construct in relation to the imperial cult and the theatercratic structures engendered in it. The main objective of the thesis is to explain that the original Johannine Christianity establishes itself as a Christological-cultual prototype, which kerygmatize and claims a devotional praxis centered on Jesus. In this sense, the mesochristological gens, implicit in the Johannine hero incarnational discourse, was implanted like a paradigmatic homologetic construct in relation to any divinizing and cultual praxis, theatrercratically forged under non-Christocentric hermeneutic devices throughout history. / GUERRA, Danilo Dourado. Heróis em cena: a construção paradigmática contracultual da mesocristologia joanina. Tese de Doutorado (Programa de Pósgraduação em Ciências da Religião) – Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás, 2018. Esta investigação tem como objeto de pesquisa a homologese (confissão) da encarnação do herói, em Jo 1,14. Utilizando-se de um referencial metodológico analítico diacrônico-sincrônico do tipo pendular, objetiva-se efetuar o rastreamento exegético-reconstitutivo do conteúdo cristológico implícito em Jo 1,14 e a sua interface com o contexto sociorreligioso vivenciado pelos grupos joaninos. Diante desta demanda, a hipótese a ser demonstrada é que o discurso da encarnação do herói joanino, estruturado dentro de uma poética sequencial do prólogo, repercute a saga cristológica da comunidade e revela a configuração genético-noemática da mesocristologia joanina. Trata-se de um modelo protocristológico que se faz construção heterotópica e teo-política em relação à apoteose romana, e, por conseguinte, estabelece-se como construto cristolátrico, cristocêntrico e paradigmático em relação ao culto imperial e às estruturas teatrocráticas engendradas neste. Esta tese tem como finalidade principal explicitar que o cristianismo originário joanino instaura-se como protótipo cristológico-cultual cristolátrico que kerigmatiza e reivindica uma práxis devocional centralizada em Jesus. Nesse sentido, a gens mesocristológica, implícita no discurso encarnacional do herói joanino, implanta-se como construto homologético paradigmático em relação a qualquer práxis divinizante e cultual, forjada teatrocraticamente sob dispositivos hermenêuticos não cristocêntricos ao longo da história.

A palavra se fez carne e sangue, luz e glória: uma exegese histórico-gramatical de João 1.1-18

Carlos Eduardo Araújo da Silva Carvalho 03 July 2015 (has links)
Uma exegese histórico-gramatical da Iniciação (Prólogo) do Evangelho de João. Inicia-se com uma análise dos métodos histórico-crítico, semiótico e histórico-gramatical. Esse último é escolhido sem preterir os avanços permitidos pelo histórico-crítico que não conflitem com aquele método. Procede-se à crítica textual escolhendo as variantes mais expressivas. É elaborada uma tradução prévia, sem muitos requintes, privilegiando o sentido literal. Faz-se uma análise literária para delimitar o texto, conhecer sua estrutura, suas fontes literárias e a função literária da perícope. Na busca pela estrutura do texto, são descobertos quatro segmentos: o logos criador, o logos luminoso, o logos encarnado e o logos glorioso. Na função literária da perícope, discute-se a inadequação do termo Prólogo e se propõe o termo Iniciação. Em seguida, tem-se a análise da redação, onde são discutidas evidências internas e externas a respeito da autoria, fatores que podem indicar a data da composição do texto, seu local de escrita e destinatários. Ao fim da análise da redação, propõe-se como propósito principal da escrita do evangelho a defesa da fé frente às ameaças gnósticas e judaicas, através da cristologia joanina. Na análise das formas, enquadra-se o texto dentro de um gênero maior e como um gênero menor, analisando seus possíveis lugares vivenciais. Na análise das tradições, são discutidos os substratos que estão por trás de termos que podem ter diversas origens: logos, luz, conhecer e verdade. Então se chega ao coração da exegese, que corresponde à análise de conteúdo. São analisados cada um dos quatro segmentos descobertos na análise literária. Dentro de cada segmento, primeiro é feita uma análise gramatical com ênfase na descoberta do significado de cada palavra à luz das impressões que o evangelista deixa ao longo do evangelho e de seu mundo vivencial. Em seguida, faz-se uma análise de contexto amplo, aproveitando-se das descobertas gramaticais e analisando as perspectivas históricas. Essa é seguida de análises de contexto específico, nas quais o texto é entendido à luz do problema judaico e do problema gnóstico. Depois se tem a análise teológica, que aborda os assuntos mais importantes da teologia do prólogo em conexão com outros textos teológicos das Escrituras. Por fim, tem-se a tradução final, que visa a valer-se dos conhecimentos produzidos ao longo de toda exegese para produzir uma tradução que mais se aproxime da mensagem que o autor quis transmitir aos seus primeiros leitores. / A historical-grammatical exegesis of the Initiation (Prologue) of the Gospel of John. It begins with an analysis of the historical-critical, semiotic and historical-grammatical methods. This latter one was chosen without neglecting the advances propitiated by the historical-critical method which do not conflict with that method. We proceed to the textual criticism choosing the most expressive variables. A prior translation is elaborated without many refinements prioritizing a literal sense. A literary analysis is made to delimit the text, get to know its structure, its literary sources and the literary role of the pericope. In the quest for the structure of the text, four segments are discovered: the creator logos, the luminous logos, the incarnated logos and the glorious logos. In the literary role of the pericope the inadequateness of the term Prologue is discussed and the term Initiation is proposed. Following, there is the analysis of the redaction where internal and external evidence is discussed related to authorship, factors which can indicate the date of the composition of the text, the place where it was written and recipients. At the end of the redaction analysis, the proposition is posited that the main purpose for the writing of the gospel is for the defense of the faith, which is facing Gnostic and Jewish threats, through the Johanine Christology. In the form analyses the text is a smaller genre within a larger genre, analyzing its possible living places. Within the analysis of traditions the substrata which are behind the terms which can have various origins are discussed: logos, light, getting to know and truth. Then one gets to the heart of the exegesis which corresponds to the analysis of the content. Each one of the four segments discovered in the literary analysis is analyzed. Within each segment, first, a grammatical analysis is done with emphasis on discovering the meaning of each word in the light of the impressions which the evangelist left throughout the Gospel and his living world. Next, an analysis of the broad context is done using the grammatical discoveries and analyzing the historical perspectives. This is followed by analyses of the specific context, in which the text is understood in light of the Jewish and Gnostic problem. After comes the theological analysis which deals with the most important issues of the theology of the prologue in connection with other theological texts of the Scriptures. Finally we have the final translation which aims at making use of the knowledge produced throughout the whole exegesis to produce a translation which comes closest to the message which the author wanted to transmit to his first readers.

OS SINAIS NO EVANGELHO DE JOÃO: EXEGESE DE JOÃO 6.1-15 / Signs in jonhs gospel: exegeses of John 6. 1-5

This pericope is in-serted within the Signs Book (chapters 1 - 12), which is marked by the ocurrance of seven signs, beign those: the Wedding at Cana (2. 1 - 11); the healing of the kings officer son (4. 43-54); the healing of the paralytic in Bethesda (5. 1 - 15); the multiplying of the loaves and fishes (6. 1 - 15); Jesus walking on the sea (6. 16 - 21); the healing of the man born blind (9. 1 - 41) and the resurrection of Lazarus (11. 1 - 45). Besides the narrative, semiotic and hermeneutical peculiarities the Gospel of John has, our research has revealed that the word sign frames the narrative, providing its structure and also providing John its cadence. We notice the tangency between dialogue and the signs, thus making the pericope at John 6. 1 - 15 exert a central role in the Passion Narrative - because it is intended as a readers identitary text, as well as for the Johannine community. / Esta dissertação analisará a recorrência do termo sinal no Quarto Evangelho, tendo como paradigma a exegese de João 6.1-15, perícope denominada como multiplicação dos pães e peixes. O texto da multiplicação dos pães e peixes se insere no Bloco dos Sinais (capítulo 1-12), o qual é marcado por sete sinais, sendo eles: o casamento de Caná (2.1-11); a cura do filho do oficial do rei (4.43-54); a cura de um paralítico de Betesda (5.1-15), a multiplicação dos pães e peixes (6.1-15); andar sobre as águas (6.16-21); cura do cego de nascença (9.1-41) e a ressurreição de Lázaro (11.1-45). A pesquisa revelou, além das peculiaridades narrativas, semióticas e hermenêuticas, próprias do Evangelho de João, que o termo sinal enquadra a narrativa, além de estruturar e proporcionar cadência para o texto joanino. Nota-se tangência e diálogo entre os sinais, de modo que a perícope de João 6.1-15 exerce papel central no Bloco da Paixão por ser um texto identitário dos leitores, bem como da comunidade joanina.
