Full textAbstract:
This study examines the titles that the author of Luke's gospel uses to describe Jesus' character in relation to scriptural citations and allusions/echoes. It also thoroughly explores Luke's use and understanding of the Greek expression, o ui&d12;s &d13;vtou ' anqrwpou (Son of Man), its relationship to Fulfillment passages and its earthly and cosmological connotations. This study briefly addresses the five most commonly used names of Jesus in Luke (Lord, Teacher, Messiah, Master and Son of Man) and examines their meanings in the Old Testament. Son of Man is the most important Christological title according to Luke because, in contrast to the other titles, it is associated most often with earthly and cosmological connotations. This combination is central to Luke's Christology. In using the Son of Man in this way Luke is following its meaning in both the Old Testament scripture and in the Jewish Pseudepigrapha.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis has been written in two parts. The first examines the validity of three hypotheses that have been offered as explanations for the structure of Luke-Acts, in whole or in part. These are the Christian Deuteronomy theory, lectionary. In the second part of the thesis a more positive approach is taken towards understanding the structure of Luke-Acts by examining the possible contributions that might result from studies in Source, Redaction, and Composition Criticism.

Full textAbstract:
The Gospel of Luke exhibits numerous correspondence between pericopes, some related to structure and others not. Those that were intentional reflect how Luke understood the individual units of tradition that were incorporated into Luke-Acts. They reflect an interrelationship he perceived between the corresponding pericopes. Accordingly, in the process of composing his volumes, Luke read the individual units of tradition intertextually, in the light of each other. This thesis adopts a form of the literary theory called "intertextuality" that accepts the importance of the author for the interpretation of certain types of text. The intent of Luke is frequently sought through the evidence of the correspondences. Robert C. Tannehill has studied intertextual correspondences in Luke-Acts that are not strictly structural in nature. His work is evaluated in the first chapter of the thesis. Eleven rigorous tests that assess the probability of authorial intent behind proposed correspondences are formulated and applied to proposals. Many withstand this scrutiny, but several do not. The second chapter applies the same tests to Charles H. Talbert's often extensive sets of Luke-Acts correspondences. He considers these to be the very framework of Luke-Acts. Several of them are found wanting, but authorial intent is proven to be probable in many instances. Chapter three establishes the literary precedent for the multi-fold parallel cyclical structure of Luke to be proposed in chapter four (e.g. ABC ... A'B'C'...). Numerous examples are presented of OT, Greco-Roman and NT texts that bear a similar patterned architecture. The new proposal for the cyclical structure of Luke 4:14-24:53 is developed in chapter four. The eleven tests for authorial intent are applied and the results strongly favor its intentional construction. Chapter five discusses the many literary and theological implications of the structure. Additionally, a viable method of Lucan composition, consistent with the proposed structure, is suggested.

Lee, Paul Byeong. "Malachi’s eschatological figures’ arrival motif in the Gospel of Luke and its relation to the other Gospels." Thesis, University of Pretoria, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/2263/25534.
Full textAbstract:
This study belongs to one of the categories of hermeneutical issues - the New Testament use of the Old Testament. The writer assumes that Luke uses Malachi’s motifs, especially “Malachi’s eschatological figures’ arrival” motif in Malachi 3 and 4. Malachi’s eschatological figures are the messenger of the Lord (Mal. 3:1)/Elijah (Mal. 4:5-6). Ha Adon is the messenger of the covenant (Mal. 3:1). The writer identifies Ha Adon with the messenger of the covenant. Ha Adon is the “One who comes in the name of the Lord” in Luke. The writer attempts to prove that Luke was greatly influenced by “Malachi’s eschatological arrival” motif. According to the writer’s view, the literary and thematic structure of the Gospel of Luke reflects Malachi’s motif: temple emphasis, the infancy narratives including John’s and Jesus’ births, and the beginnings of John’s and Jesus’ ministries. John’s preaching is reminiscent of Malachi’s oracle. The Lord’s messenger and Ha Adon/the messenger of the Lord are identified as John the Baptist and Jesus respectively, and their missions are fulfilled in Luke. John the Baptist is seen as Malachi’s eschatological Elijah in Luke. The prophecy of Ha Adon’s sudden coming to His temple is fulfilled in Jesus’ three visits to the temple in Luke. The Travel Narrative in Luke echoes “the Way of the Lord” idea in Malachi; “the Way of the Lord” motif has thematically a long history in the Old Testament. “The Way of the Lord” concept in Exodus and Isaiah is reused in Malachi, and is theologically expanded in its meaning in Luke. This study shows that Luke alludes to or reflects Malachi’s themes in addition to “Malachi’s eschatological figures’ arrival” motif. The Gospel of Luke can be seen in the perspective of “the Way of the Lord” motif: the preparation of the Lord’s Way (1:1- 4:13); the presentation of the Lord’s Way (4:14-19:46), and the perfection of the Lord’s Way (19:47-24:53). There are simple allusions to Malachi, and thematic and literary parallels between Malachi and Luke: for example--“the Day of the Lord” theme and “the sending of messengers” motif. “Malachi’s eschatological figures’ arrival” motif is clearly shown in Luke.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2011.

Fischer, Bettina Irene. "Narrative strategies in the gospel according to Luke : a Bakhtinian exploration." Doctoral thesis, University of Cape Town, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/7431.
Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves [215]-233).Using the theory of the twentieth century Russian literary scholar and linguist, Mikhail Bakhtin, this thesis has set out to explore narrative strategy in the Gospel of Luke, the aim being to consider how this would affect a generic reading, and what implications this would have in assessing the discourse of this text. Bakhtin classifies early Christian writings as part of the Menippea, a collective name for a body of parodying-travestying literature ofthe Graeco-Roman period. In contrast to the classical genres of the mainstream, epic, love-poetry and tragedy, Bakhtin rates Menippean texts as being essentially dialogic, engaged in exploring ideas of life and death from the perspective of a carnivalistic view ofthe world. He uses the genre of the Greek Romance, seen by him as a forerunner of the European novel, to demonstrate some of his theory. Having selected the Romance, Chaereas and Callirhoe, by Chariton, as a comparative text to the Gospel of Luke, both texts are explored in terms of the Bakhtinian concepts of chronotope, carnival, and intertextuality.

Full textAbstract:
In his two-volume account of Christian beginnings Luke fills out for already instructed Theophilus Mark’s account of Jesus, and extends it to tell of the bringing of ‘good news’ for all people, offering a tested alternative to the pagan world-view, worthy to be adopted by citizens of the Roman empire. Primarily employing ‘redaction-critical’ methods and seeking narrative patterns with variations within the whole text, we analyse the roles of Peter in the first half of Acts and the influences upon Luke in their making. They portray the pattern of apostolic witness in message, deed and life, and anticipate the extending of the mission to Gentiles, which is taken up in a heroic way by Paul in the second half of Acts. Then analysing Luke’s reshaping of the account of Peter before Easter in his first volume, we show it is done with an eye to how it will be completed in Acts, how Peter will repent from denying Jesus to strengthen his brother apostles and urge repentance on his fellow-Jews. Luke’s captivating narrative is persuasive for its implied reader in the context of the post-apostolic age, that the apostolic kerygma proclaims the divine gift of salvation expected by Israel’s prophets, despite its rejection by much of Judaism. The missions of Paul are to be received as being in harmony with Peter’s. A foundation has been established which will outface Christian rivalries and strengthen believers under persecution. The influence of Luke’s account on other early Christian writers is tested where evidence is available. Luke’s success is that his account became, almost without rival, the canonical New Testament account of Christian beginnings.

Agan, Jimmy. ""Like the one who serves" : Jesus, servant-likeness and self-humiliation in the Gospel of Luke." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 1999. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=179543.
Full textAbstract:
This study challenges the current scholarly consensus regarding Luke 22:27c and Jesus' claim to "servant-likeness" (as opposed to "servanthood", a term which obscures the force of Jesus' comparison). It investigates three facets of Jesus' claim - its significance, its basis, and its permanence. Detailed exegetical analysis of Luke 22:24-27 demonstrates that Jesus' servant-likeness is more closely related to the Lucan motif of self-humiliation than to texts in which Jesus engages in "practical service" or acts with others' interests in view. An analysis of Jesus' critique of self-exaltation in Luke's Gospel, and the application of this analysis to Luke's overall christological portrait, suggests that the basis of Jesus' claim to be "like the one who serves" is to be found in his consistent refusal to depart from the path of humiliation appointed for him as messiah. Finally, a comparison of Luke 22:27c and 12:37b serves as a starting point for assessing the permanence of Jesus' demand for and embodiment of servant-like self-humiliation. Ultimately, both verses reflect Jesus' conviction that the kingdom of God, whether present or future, is governed by the principal of status-transposition or humiliation-exaltation. According to the Lucan Jesus, the values associated with self-humiliation will find continued expression in the heavenly kingdom. For Jesus, and for Luke, the work of redemption must displace worldly concern for rank, status, and honor. To live a life that reflects this truth is what it means to be "like the one who serves".

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Critical New Testament study has drawn on analytical techniques and interrogatory methods from a wide range of disciplines. In recent decades the dominance of historical and ecclesiologicallylocated approaches have been challenged by insights from literary, sociological, anthropological, cultural and ideological scholarship. These challenges have proved fruitful and opened biblical scholarship to new and generative interpretation. This plurality of interpretation has in turn challenged the reductionism of biblical scholarship, leading to the now common acknowledgement that a particular reading or reconstruction is but one of many. Unfortunately many new readings have been too tightly bound to a single method or insight. The broad interaction between these readings has been often overlooked. In contrast to this trend an epistemology of text emerging from the poststructural notion of intertextuality allows the construction of links between a range of interpretive methods. Intertextuality emerges from literary and cultural theory but spills over to make hermeneutical connections with historical, cultural and ideological theory. For the most part New Testament scholars who have appropriated the term have noted this but not thoroughly explored it. In this study an ideologically-declared overtly intertextual approach to the third canonical gospel demonstrates the interlinking hermeneutic allowed by intertextuality. John Howard Yoder's reading of the gospel of Luke underscores the development of a Christian social-ethic. This reading in turn forms the framework for the more overtly intertextual reading offered here. An intertextual reading of the New Testament Scriptures is both narratively generative and politically directive for many Christian communities.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Kritiese Nuwe Testamentiese studies het in die verlede gebruik gemaak van analitiese tegnieke en ondervraende metodes uit ‘n wye verskeidenheid van dissiplines. Meer onlangs is die oorheersing van historiese en kerklik-gerigte benaderings uitgedaag deur insigte vanuit letterkundige, sosiologiese, antropologiese, kulturele en ideologiese dissiplines. Hierdie uitdagings het vrugbaar geblyk en het Bybelse vakkennis toeganklik gemaak vir nuwe en produktiewe interpretasies. Hierdie meervoudige interpretasies het op hul beurt weer die reduksionisme in Bybelse geleerdheid uitgedaag, wat aanleiding gegee het tot die nou algemene erkenning dat ‘n bepaalde vertolking of rekonstruksie slegs een van vele is. Die breë wisselwerking tussen sulke vertolkings word dikwels misgekyk. In teenstelling met hierdie neiging, laat ‘n epistemologie van die teks wat te voorskyn kom uit ‘n poststrukturele begrip van intertekstualiteit toe dat verbande gekonstrueer word word tussen ‘n verskeidenheid van vertolkingsmetodes. Intertekstualiteit spruit voort uit literêre en kulturele teorie, maar vorm ook hermeneutiese skakels met historiese, kulturele en ideologie kritiek. Die meeste Nuwe Testamentici wat gebruik gemaak het van hierdie term, het kennis geneem van sulke verbande, maar dit nie altyd volledig verreken nie. In hierdie studie demonstreer ‘n ideologies-verklaarde, openlik intertekstuele benadering tot die derde kanonieke evangelie die gekoppelde hermeneutiek wat toegelaat word deur intertekstualiteit. John Howard Yoder se vertolking van die Evangelie van Lukas plaas klem op die ontwikkeling van ‘n Christelike sosiale etiek. Hierdie interpretasie vorm op sy beurt weer die raamwerk vir die meer openlik intertekstuele vertolking wat hier aangebied word. ‘n Intertekstuele interpretasie van die Nuwe Testamentiese geskrifte is beide verhalend produktief asook polities rigtinggewend vir talle Christelike gemeenskappe.

Mann, Joshua Lee. "Understanding the Messiah : the rhetoric of perception in Luke-Acts." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/23435.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that the rhetoric of perception opens and closes the Gospel of Luke and its sequel, the Acts of the Apostles, and occurs throughout both narratives as a central plot device. The epistemological theme created by this involves how characters understand the major events of the narrative, especially what seems to be a central element: Jesus’ identity as the Messiah and the scriptural necessity of his suffering and resurrection. The suspense created by the rhetoric of perception allows the author to both communicate key tenets of his theology, as well as offer the audience a model for accomplishing the purpose of his writing, to ‘recognise the certainty’ of his story (Luke 1:1–4). In the Gospel of Luke, suspense is created by the juxtaposition of divine revelation to the disciples and the divine concealment that produces their misunderstanding. This conflict reaches its resolution in the Gospel’s final scenes, in which Jesus opens the mind of the disciples to understand the Scriptures, enabling them to understand what was earlier concealed, the scriptural necessity of the Messiah’s death and resurrection. In Acts, the conflict of misunderstanding is no longer primarily internal to the disciples but external: It is a characteristic of those who do not believe, those to whom the disciples-turned-apostles preach, and it must be overcome through the repentance and belief of the hearers. The resolution provided by the conclusion of Acts is much more negative than that of the Gospel: In the Empire’s capital city, far from that place of illumination where the disciples earlier came to understanding, the proclamation of the gospel is essentially rejected by a Jewish audience to whom is applied the description of Isaiah 6:9–10, rich in its epistemological metaphor.

Dicken, Frank Edward. "King and ruler takes his stand : 'Herod' as a composite character in Luke-Acts." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/9834.
Full textAbstract:
Using a narrative-critical approach, this thesis argues that ‘Herod’ may be construed as a composite character in Luke-Acts. Composite characters appear in literary works as a conflation of two or more historic individuals into a single character in a narrative. Scholars have often noted that Luke-Acts evidences a more extensive interest in the Herodian rulers than do the gospels of Mark and Matthew and that each of these rulers are depicted similarly to the others in his work. However, no one has argued that those rulers named ‘Herod’ may be understood as a composite character. In Luke-Acts, three Herodian rulers stand behind the composite ‘Herod’. The thesis will show that when compared/contrasted with what is known about the Herodian rulers from historical evidence, two unique features of the depiction of the Herodian rulers named Herod in Luke-Acts emerge. First, at Luke 1:5 the author uses the title ‘King of Judaea’ which is unattested elsewhere for any Herodian ruler. Second, at Acts 12 the author uses the name ‘Herod’ for Agrippa I, a name that finds no external corroboration for this particular King. While other occurrences of the name ‘Herod’ refer to Herod Antipas (Luke 3—Acts 4), these two distinct features of the narrative may be understood as conflation of the other ‘Herods’ with Antipas. Following an interpretation of all the passages in which ‘Herod’ appears, it will be evident that ‘Herod’ is portrayed consistently and as a single character not only through repeated use of the name ‘Herod’, but as a recurring antagonist to the key protagonists of the narrative (John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostles/early church). Finally, the thesis will consider as explanation of the depiction of ‘Herod’ how this composite character embodies Satanic opposition from the political realm toward those who proclaim the gospel in the Lukan narrative.

Full textAbstract:
Postmodern theorising has presented the reader as an active agent in the process of the interpretation of texts. Sociology of knowledge approaches have identified both the author and the reader of texts as socially embodied within a context. This study presents a unique collection of readings in the Gospel of Luke by ordinary real-readers from a disadvantaged and/or marginalised social and ecclesial location, within an affluent first world context. These readings, transcribed in Volume Two, present empirical reader research for analysis, through dialogue and conversation with professional readings in the Gospel of Luke, in order to assess what contribution the former might make to contemporary hermeneutics. Identifying contemporary human experience of ordinary real-readers as the starting point in their reading of the Lukan text, the study illustrates how these readings act as a useful tool of suspicion in conversation with readings that claim to be objective and value-neutral, and how they facilitate critical reflection on the ideological and theological commitments of the dominant classes in society and church. The value and legitimacy of the readings of ordinary real-readers is discussed, and how their social and ecclesial marginalisation and disadvantage provides a nontotalising presence in biblical interpretation, a presence that guards against the claims of permanence made by those in the academic and ecclesial world. Identification of contemporary human experience as inevitably influencing the process of interpretation leads to a consideration of the place of the historical critical paradigm in biblical studies. The value and legitimacy of ordinary real readers as active agents in the process of interpretation, and the contribution they make to contemporary hermeneutics, requires a consideration of safeguards against reading anarchy. The process of self and social analysis, and an openness to dialogue and conversation with those outside our own contexts, including our ancestors in the faith, is considered as a way forward, utilising ordinary and professional real-readers in the ongoing process of biblical interpretation.

Thesis (MTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The South African society is violently sick to the core regarding gender and sexuality. Shockingly high statistics of gender-based violence and the everyday occurrences of gender injustices and gender discrimination are not unfamiliar to South Africans. All men and women, representing all sexual identities, are affected to a greater or lesser degree. The Christian church, as an influential social institution in the South African context, is often silent on these acts of violence, injustices and discrimination. Some argue that the church is not merely silent, but actively contributes to these injustices and violence by means of its teachings and practices. The church’s inadequate response to such a crisis in society is, however, not surprising in light of especially two factors: firstly, the patriarchal and heteronormative roots of the Christian church that still, up to this day, have an enormous influence on the Christian tradition globally; and secondly, the manner in which the Bible is often misused to direct discourses and opinions regarding gender and sexuality. Ahistorical and selective readings of biblical texts serve as validation of contemporary (and very popular) stereotypical and discriminatory views on gender and sexuality, with little or no recognition of the socio-cultural contexts in which texts originated. Central faith narratives, such as the crucifixion narratives and its portrayals of Jesus of Nazareth as a male, has a great influence on the manner in which gender and sexuality is understood within the Christian church. The Lukan crucifixion narrative portrays Jesus of Nazareth as a hypermasculine character who is able to uphold and even increase his socially-constructed male honour and power throughout the most shaming event of antiquity, namely the Roman crucifixion. Often this type of portrayal of Jesus of Nazareth is preferred in the Christian church, at the cost of the less hypermasculine portrayals that can also rightly be found in the Gospel narratives, and misused to validate essentialist notions of gender and sexuality. This study suggests that a queer reading or a reimagining of specifically the Lukan crucifixion narrative is needed in order to put forward alternative interpretations of the maleness of Jesus of Nazareth, and consequently the manner in which gender and sexuality is popularly understood from a Christian perspective. This is possible if the socio-cultural context of the world behind the narrative, namely the 1st century Mediterranean world and Greco-Roman society, is taken seriously. In this manner the crucifixion narrative might become a narrative that blurs the lines of simplistic gender categories, rather than enforcing it as is often still the case. By offering fresh perspectives on such an influential narrative, the church might be able to engage critically with itself as well as society regarding the disturbingly large amount of injustices, discrimination and violence based on gender and sexuality.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Suid-Afrikaanse samelewing kan tereg as gewelddadiglik siek beskryf word wanneer daar na gender en seksualiteit verwys word. Suid-Afrikaners is nie onbekend met hemelhoë statistieke van gender-gebaseerde geweld, tesame met die alledaagse voorvalle van gender ongeregtigheid en gender diskriminasie nie. Alle mans en vrouens, verteenwoordigend van alle seksuele identiteite, word tot ’n mindere of meerdere mate hierdeur geraak. Die Christelike kerk, wat steeds gereken word as ’n invloedryke sosiale instelling in die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks, se stem is dikwels stil rakende hierdie dade van geweld, ongeregtigheid en diskriminasie. Sommige is van mening dat die kerk nie bloot net stil is hieroor nie, maar dat dit aktief bydra tot hierdie ongeregtighede en geweld deur middel van leringe en praktyke. Die kerk se onvoldoende respons op hierdie krisis in die samelewing is egter nie verrassend nie. Veral twee faktore dra hiertoe by: eerstens, die patriargale en heteronormatiewe fondasies van die Christelike kerk wat tot vandag toe nog ’n enorme invloed uitoefen op die Christelike tradisie wêreldwyd; en tweedens, die manier waarop die Bybel dikwels misbruik word om diskoerse en opinies rakende gender en seksualiteit op baie spesifieke maniere te rig. Die ahistoriese en selektiewe lees van bybelse tekste dien as gepaste bewyse vir hedendaagse (en baie gewilde) stereotipiese en diskriminerende beskouings van gender en seksualiteit, met min of geen erkenning van die sosio-kulturele kontekste waarin dit ontstaan het nie. Sentrale geloofsverhale, soos die kruisigingsverhale en hul voorstellings van Jesus van Nasaret as ’n man, oefen ‘n groot invloed uit op die manier waarop gender en seksualiteit verstaan word binne die Christelike kerk. Die kruisigingsverhaal van die evangelie van Lukas stel Jesus van Nasaret voor as ’n hipermanlike karakter wat sy sosiaal-gekonstrueerde manlike eer en mag kan behou en selfs vermeerder, te midde van een van die meeste beskamende gebeure van die antieke tyd, naamlik die Romeinse kruisiging. Hierdie tipe voorstelling van Jesus van Nasaret geniet dikwels voorkeur in die Christelike kerk, ten koste van minder hipermanlike voorstellings wat met ewe veel reg in die verhale van die Evangelies te vinde is. Hierdie studie stel voor dat ‘n “queer” lees of ’n hervoorstelling van die kruisigingsverhaal van spesifiek die evangelie van Lukas nodig is, ten einde alternatiewe interpretasies van die manlikheid van Jesus van Nasaret daar te stel. Dit is moontlik indien erns gemaak word met die sosio-kulturele konteks agter die verhaal, naamlik die 1ste eeuse Mediterreense wêreld en die Grieks-Romeinse samelewing. Gevolglik sou die gewilde, dog stereotipiese interpretasies van gender en seksualiteit vanuit ’n Christelike perspektief uitgedaag kan word. Op hierdie manier kan die kruisigingsverhaal ’n verhaal word wat simplistiese gender-kategorisering ondermyn, eerder as om dit te bevestig. Deur vars interpretasies van hierdie invloedryke verhaal voor te stel, mag die kerk dalk krities kan omgaan met die kerk self sowel as met die samelewing, rakende die ontstellende hoë voorkoms van ongeregtighede, diskriminisaie en geweld gebaseer op gender en seksualiteit.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates how understandings of history in diverse texts of the Graeco-Roman period illuminate Lukan eschatology. Two strands of Lukan scholarship have contributed to an enduring tendency to underestimate the centrality of eschatology to Luke/Acts. Hans Conzelmann's thesis, that Luke focused on history rather than eschatology as a response to the parousia's delay, has dominated Lukan scholarship since the mid-twentieth century, with concomitant assumptions about Luke's politics and understanding of suffering. Recent Lukan scholarship has centred instead on genre and rhetoric, examining Luke/Acts predominantly in relation to ancient texts deemed the same genre while overlooking themes (including those of an eschatological character) that these texts do not share. This thesis offers a fresh approach. It illuminates the inherent connections between Luke's understanding of history and its end, and demonstrates significant ways in which Luke's eschatological consciousness shapes key themes of his account. By extending comparisons to a wider range of texts, this study overcomes two clear methodological shortfalls in current research: limiting comparisons of key themes to texts of similar genre, and separating non-Jewish from Jewish texts. Having established the need for a new examination of Luke's eschatology in Chapter 1, in Chapter 2 I set out the study's method of comparing diverse texts on themes that cut across genres. Chapters 3 to 6 then consider each key text and Luke/Acts in relation to a different aspect of their writers' conceptions of history: the direction and shape of history; determinism and divine guidance; human culpability and freedom; and the present and the end of history. The analysis shows that in every aspect of history examined, Luke/Acts shares significant features of the texts with which, because they do not share its genre, it is not normally compared. Setting Luke/Acts in conversation with a broader range of texts highlights Luke's periodised, teleological view of history and provides a nuanced picture of Luke's understanding of divine and human agency, all of which is affected in fundamental ways by his portrayal of the present time already within the final period of history. As a result, this study not only clarifies Lukan eschatology, but reaffirms the importance of eschatology for Lukan politics and theodicy.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis shows that patristic interpretation of the Transfiguration had a sensitivity to visionary and ecstatic motifs within the synoptic Transfiguration narratives, and particularly Luke’s, which prompted a rich breadth of hermeneutic interaction with our texts. I offer the evidence of my survey of the reception history of the Transfiguration in the first 900 years of Christian history as a way of filling a number of gaps in knowledge in modern biblical scholarship concerning the Transfiguration narratives. This thesis begins, in Chapters 1, 2, and 3, with an appraisal of interpretation offered by modern biblical scholars, patrologists, and art historians. Critical comment often overlooks a series of ambiguities in the narratives, particularly the distinct characteristics of Luke’s version. These include the question of whether the disciples enter the overshadowing cloud, the presence of priestly or cultic imagery, visionary motifs frequently found in apocalyptic texts, such as the disciples’ drowsiness, and Peter’s confusion at not knowing what he said. Chapters 4-7 examine the earliest reception in 2 Peter, the Apocalypse of Peter, and the Acts of Peter, explore at some length Origen’s and Tertullian’s interpretation, and also look at Latin and Greek comment after Origen. I show many ancient writers to understand the disciples as experiencing ecstatic vision. Some also use cultic language appertaining to the Jerusalem Temple in their exegesis of the Transfiguration. They also employ the narrative to interpret other prophetic or visionary texts. Many of these distinguishing features of interpretation frequently stem from their attentiveness to the Lucan narrative. Chapter 8 examines the earliest artistic depictions of the Transfiguration from the sixth century onwards. This chapter indicates that many of the visionary and cultic themes we have outlined in previous chapters are frequently overlooked by art historians, and also that Luke’s narrative exercised a greater influence on representation of the Transfiguration than many people have imagined. This thesis concludes with a reconsideration of the visionary character of the Transfiguration narratives. Many of the ambiguities, overlooked details, and distinctive traits we pointed to in our opening chapters will be seen to have had much greater significance through many centuries of early hermeneutic tradition and artistic depiction than is the case in modern historical critical scholarship.

Full textAbstract:
The quest for the historical Jesus can be advanced by a consideration of disagreement scenarios recorded in the gospels. Such conflicts afford the opportunity not only to analyse the positions of the protagonists, but by comparing them, to better appreciate their relative stances. ¶
One area of disagreement that has remained largely unexplored is that between Jesus and the Pharisees over the kingdom of God. Indeed, kingdom of God formed the very foundation of Jesus preaching and thus ought to be the place where fundamental disagreements are to be found. As Luke 17:20-21 represents the only passage in the Gospels where the Pharisees show any interest in the kingdom of God, it forms the central hub of the thesis around which an account of the disparate beliefs of Jesus and the Pharisees on the kingdom of God is constructed. ¶
The main thesis is this. Luke 17:20-21 can best be explained, at the level of the Pharisees and Jesus, as betraying a fundamental disagreement, not in the identity of the kingdom of God, which they both regarded as primarily the Divine Royal Presence, i.e. God himself as king, but in the location of that kingdom. The Pharisees located the kingdom in the here-and-now, Jesus located it in heaven. Conversely, at later stages in the formation of the pericope, the pre-Lukan community identified the kingdom as the Holy Spirit located in individuals with faith in Jesus and the redactor identified the kingdom as Jesus, located both in the Historical Jesus and the Jesus now in heaven. ¶
Chapter 1, after the usual preliminary remarks, presents an analysis of Luke 17:20-21 as a chreia, a literary form ideally suited as the basis on which to compare the beliefs of the Pharisees and Jesus. The work of three scholars vital to the development of the main thesis is then reviewed and evaluated. By way of background, a portrait of the Pharisees is then presented, highlighting in particular, issues that will be of importance in later chapters. Finally, a section on the Aramaic Targums suggests that some targum traditions may be traced back prior to AD 70 and that these reflect the influence and beliefs of first century Palestinian Pharisees. ¶
Chapters 2 and 3 are a consideration of every instance of the explicit mention of God as king (or his kingship) and the Divine Kingdom respectively, in contemporary and earlier Jewish Palestinian literature and in Luke-Acts. A model of the kingdom of God is developed in these chapters that will be applied to Luke 17:20-21 in the next chapter. ¶
Chapter 4 presents a detailed exegesis of Luke 17:20-21, taking into account scholarship on the pericope since the last monograph (an unpublished dissertation of 1962) on the chreia. It offers a composition history of the pericope and measures previous exegesis against the view of the kingdom of God as developed in chapters 2 and 3. ¶
Chapter 5 presents a summary of the work that relates directly to Luke 17:20-21, some implications arising from the findings and, several possible avenues for future research.

Previous issue date: 2014-10-21Among all the Gospels, the third has a particular merit that derives from the particular character of its author. The Gospel of Luke, serving up fine traits of his own author ship, presents us with a Gospel message in an almost unique way; transpire leaving us the tenderness of Jesus as the humble and the poor. Lucas becomes, among the synoptic, one that most women face the argument being that any investigation into their role in the early Christian communities certainly can not ignore this reference. However, a careful reading of Luke s account of this matter makes you realize how texts about women are marked by tension, linked to a possible ambivalence about the role of women in the Christian community. Luke presents the woman with characteristics of exemplary human greatness, but also hosts women in their weakness: they are sinful, diseased, possessed, widows, etc.. The woman is now exalted, and sometimes decreased. In order to understand the way in which Luke addresses this topic and especially to become clearer sense of the act of Jesus in the Gospel texts evidenced seems necessary, first of all, to clarify what was the social and historical context which women lived in the Mediterranean region in the first century society were based on the patriarch and culturally androcentric structure, ie, the decisions of men predominated. The present work has as its theme: "The relationship of Jesus with women from the perspective of Luke 7:36-50," consists of an analysis of the biblical text. We propose a reinterpretation that is not exegetical nature and some not so much a theological and historical description of the biblical text. But a rereading pointing the essential aspects as human relations established between Jesus, the Pharisees (Simon) and the marginalized of society (women s figure); the centrality of Jesus act of integrating people on the dynamics of the Kingdom of God.
Entre todos os Evangelhos, o terceiro tem um mérito particular que deriva da índole particular de seu autor. O Evangelho de Lucas, servindo-se de finos traços próprios de sua autoria, apresenta-nos uma mensagem evangélica de um modo quase original, deixando-nos transparecer a ternura de Jesus para com os humildes e os pobres. Lucas se torna, entre os sinóticos, aquele que mais enfrenta o argumento das mulheres, sendo que qualquer investigação sobre o papel delas nas comunidades cristãs primitivas não pode certamente prescindir dessa referência. Todavia, uma leitura atenta da narração de Lucas a respeito desse assunto faz perceber como os textos sobre as mulheres estão marcados por certa tensão, ligada a uma possível ambivalência quanto ao papel da mulher na comunidade cristã. Lucas apresenta a mulher com características de grandeza humana exemplar, mas também acolhe a mulher em sua fraqueza: são pecadoras, doentes, possessas, viúvas etc. A mulher ora é exaltada, ora é diminuída. Para se compreender o modo pelo qual Lucas enfrenta este tema e sobretudo para que se torne mais claro o sentido do agir de Jesus evidenciado nos textos evangélicos, faz-se necessário, antes de tudo, esclarecer qual era o contexto social e histórico em que vivia a mulher na região do mediterrâneo no século I. A sociedade se pautava em uma estrutura patriarcal e culturalmente androcêntrica, ou seja, em que predominavam as decisões dos varões. O presente trabalho que tem como tema A Relação de Jesus com as Mulheres na Perspectiva de Lucas 7,36-50 e constitui-se de uma análise desse texto bíblico. Propomos uma releitura que não é de cunho exegético, nem uma descrição teológica e histórica do texto bíblico. Porém, uma releitura que nos aponta aspectos essenciais como as relações humanas estabelecidas entre Jesus, os Fariseus (Simão) e os marginalizados da sociedade (figura da mulher); a centralidade do gesto de Jesus que integra as pessoas na dinâmica do Reino de Deus.

Full textAbstract:
I den här uppsatsen har jag undersökt hur Jesus förkunnelse om Guds rike kan förstås utifrån Lukasevangeliet. Att närstudera ett enda evangelium, och dessutom inte hela evangeliet utan bara fyra perikoper i det, innebär en mycket tydlig avgränsning. Värdet i att försöka förstå vad Jesus säger utifrån denna enskilda sammanhängande källa är att den kan ha ett större djup än en bild som sätts ihop av ett godtyckligt antal fragment från olika källor. I Lukasevangeliet nämner Jesus ordet rike med syftning på Guds rike över 20 gånger fördelat på 18 episoder. Med metoden diskursanalys har jag delat in dessa ställen i tre kategorier som jag kallar diskurs A, B och C. Diskurs A handlar om att Guds rike har högsta prioritet, men beskriver inte riket. Diskurs B beskriver på olika sätt hur Guds rike är. Diskurs C omtalar Guds rike som ett löfte. De fyra perikoper jag analyserar i detalj representerar på olika sätt de diskurser jag identifierat i evangeliet som helhet. Luk 11:1-4 hör till diskurs A, Luk 11:14-23 och Luk 17:20-21 till diskurs B, och Luk 22:24-30 till diskurs C. Traditionen att författaren till dubbelverket Lukasevangeliet och Apostlagärningarna är just Lukas går tillbaka till mitten av 100-talet. Verket utmärks av universalism och en viss syn på rikedom och fattigdom som antagligen kom från författarens församling i Antiochia. Där predikades evangeliet för icke-judar, och där fanns engagemanget i de fattiga och behövande. Det var viktigt att inte fastna i det världsliga livet och lockas att samla rikedomar. Lärjungaskapet skulle vara helhjärtat. När Jesus talar om Guds rike i Lukasevangeliet kan det låta som om det handlar om ett territorium. Men begreppet Guds rike, i grundtexten ἡ βασιλείατοῦΘεοῦ, betyder snarare Guds herravälde. Det är inte ett område eller en plats, utan ett tillstånd som är bestämt av att Gud regerar. Samtidigt är det omöjligt att härska i ingenstans, så det finns ändå ett underförstått territorium i begreppet. Det fanns en dubbelhet i uppfattningen om Guds rike på Jesus tid som innebar att det både var en aktuell tillämplig föreställning på världens aktuella situation och en eskatologisk föreställning. Genom en detaljexegetisk analys av grundtexten för varje perikop har jag nått fram till slutsatser om texternas teologiska budskap om Guds rike. Analysen av Luk 11:1-4 visar att Herrens bön innehåller en indirekt beskrivning av Guds rike som ett idealtillstånd. Gud förutsätts ha makten att få riket till stånd, men människornas vilja och aktivitet spelar också roll. Perikopen Luk 11:14-20 visar att Guds rike är där Gud verkar. Det kan vara här och nu. Gud verkar i Jesus när han befriar en man från en stum demon. Men han verkar inte bara i Jesus utan i alla som gör gott. I perikopen Luk 17:20-21 ställs frågan när Guds rike ska komma, och Jesus svarar på ett sätt som får det att verka inom räckhåll redan i nuet. I Jesus löfte till lärjungarna om jämlik gemenskap med honom själv i sitt eget rike i Luk 22:28-30 jämställer han sig själv med Gud. Han lovar en framtid i härlighet för dem som är honom trogna. Ett försök till syntes av de teologiska budskap som analysen av varje perikop lett fram till är att Guds rike enligt Lukasevangeliet verkar syfta på det alltigenom godas seger över det onda. Begreppet mister dock inte sin mångtydighet och gåtfullhet för det. Det analyserna främst bidrar till är att belysa grundtextens möjliga betydelser, som med nödvändighet begränsas i varje översättning.In this thesis I have examined how Jesus' proclamation of the kingdom of God can be understood from the Gospel of Luke. A close examination of a single gospel, and moreover not the whole gospel but only four pericopes in it, narrows the scope considerably. The value in trying to understand what Jesus is saying based on this single coherent source is that it can have a greater depth than the picture put together by any number of fragments from different sources. In Luke's Gospel Jesus mentions the word kingdom as referring to the Kingdom of God over 20 times, in a total of 18 episodes. With the method of discourse analysis, I have divided these occurrences into three categories which I call the discourse of A, B and C. Discourse A is about the kingdom of God having the highest priority, but there is no description of the kingdom. Discourse B describes the kingdom of God in some way. Discourse C mentions the kingdom of God as a promise. The four pericopes I analyze in detail, in different ways represent the discourses I have identified in the gospel as a whole. Lk 11:1-4 belong to discourse A, Lk 11:14-23 and Lk 17:20-21 to discourse B, and Lk 22:24-30 to discourse C. The tradition that the author of the double work of Luke-Acts is precisely Luke, goes back to the mid 100's. The work is characterized by universalism and a certain vision of wealth and poverty that probably came from the author's congregation in Antioch. There the gospel to non-Jews was preached, and there was commitment in the poor and needy. It was important not to get caught up in the worldly life and be tempted to accumulate wealth. Discipleship should be wholehearted. When Jesus speaks of the kingdom of God in the Gospel of Luke, it may sound as if it is about a territory. But the concept of the kingdom of God, in the original text ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ means rather God's dominion. It is not an area or a place, but a state that is determined by God's reign. At the same time, it is impossible to rule ”nowhere”, so there is still a territory implicit in the concept. There was a duality in the perception of the kingdom of God in Jesus' time, which meant that it was both a way of conceiving the world's current situation and an eschatological concept. Through a detailed exegetical analysis of the basic text for each pericope I have reached conclusions on the theological message of the kingdom of God in the texts. The analysis of Lk 11:1-4 shows that the Lord's Prayer contains an indirect description of God's kingdom as an ideal state. God is assumed to have the power to bring the kingdom into being, but the human will and activity also plays a role. Pericope Lk 11:14-20 shows that God's kingdom is where God is at work. It can be here and now. God works through Jesus when he frees a man from a dumb demon. But he doesn't only work through Jesus but through all who do good. In pericope Lk 17:20-21 the question of when the kingdom of God will come is asked, and Jesus responds in a way that makes the kingdom seem within reach already in the present. In Jesus' promise to the disciples of equal fellowship with him in his own kingdom in Lk 22:28-30, he equates himself with God. He promises a future of glory for those who are faithful to him. An attempt at a synthesis of the theological messages that the analyses of the four pericopes led to, is that the kingdom of God according to the Gospel of Luke seems to refer to the victory of the perfect good over evil. The concept of the kingdom remains ambiguous and mysterious. What the analyses contribute to is mainly highlighting the possible meanings of the received text, which are inevitably limited in each translation.

Esta pesquisa é um estudo e análise do relato de Lc 7,11-17, mais conhecido como a ressurreição do filho da viúva de Naim, procurando entender o sentimento de compaixão de Jesus ao ver a mãe viúva que estava levando seu único filho para ser sepultado. Este sentimento foi definido por Lucas com o emprego do verbo splangxizomai (ser movido de compaixão). Foram estudados os critérios para o emprego deste verbo na perícope e nas demais ocorrências no Evangelho de Lucas. Para a análise e interpretação de Lc 7,11-17 foram utilizados elementos essenciais do método histórico-crítico. Portanto, foi feita a análise diacrônica do texto e, ao analisar a forma com que Lucas emprega o verbo splangxizomai em seu Evangelho, a análise foi sincrônica, considerando o texto em sua forma final e revelando o caminho de provocação do leitor que é desenhado pela estrutura de Lc 7,11-17 ligada ao Evangelho como um todo. Nossa pesquisa valorizou os estudos diacrônicos fazendo a interface com os estudos sincrônicos e análises intertextuais. Os resultados alcançados foram uma melhor compreensão do relato, evidenciando que o fato de Jesus ter sido movido de compaixão diante da mãe viúva resultou na solução do problema. Com a sua palavra Jesus reanimou o jovem morto e o entregou à sua mãe e as multidões reconheceram o episódio co-mo uma visita de Deus ao seu povo. Demonstramos que ao empregar o verbo splangxizomai Lucas o fez conscientemente e coerentemente utilizando critérios literários e com seu próprio estilo narrativo, onde o mesmo funciona como turning point, isto é, como ponto de mutação e serve de modelo para o uso do verbo nas demais passagens do Evangelho (Lc 10,33 e 15,20).
This research is a study and analysis of Lk 7:11-17, well-known as the resurrection of the widow s son at Nain, aiming to understand the feeling of compassion felt by Jesus after seeing the widowed mother on her way to bury her only son. That feeling was well portrayed by Luke by the use of the verb splangxizomai (being moved by compassion). The criteria for the use of this verb in the pericope as well as in the other occurrences in the Gospel of Luke are studied. For the analysis and interpretation of Lk 7:11-17, essential elements of the historical-critic method are used. Thus, a diachronic analysis of the text is made and by analyzing the way Luke uses the verb splangxizomai in his Gospel, the analysis is synchronic, considering the text in its final form and revealing the elements used to provoke the reader, within the structure of Lk 7:11-17 and linked to the Gospel as a whole. Our research values the diachronic studies through their interfacing with synchronic studies and intertextual analyses. The results achieved lead to a better understanding of the narrative, highlighting that the fact of Jesus being moved with compassion by the situation of the widowed mother resulted in the solution of the problem. With his word, Jesus reanimated the dead young man and returned him to his mother. With this, the crowds recognized the episode as a visit of God to his people. We demonstrate that the use of the verb splangxizomai by Luke was conscious and consistent, using literary criteria and his own narrative style, functioning as a turning point, a point of change, and serving as a model for the further use of the verb in other passages of the Gospel (Lk 10:33 and 15:20).

Previous issue date: 2009-08-14This research is about the political dimension of the Jesus praxis on the Gospel of Luke. From the fact that this gospel is the popular and historical memory of the communities on the person of Jesus and his project, we discuss the conflicts in Jesus times and after 80 s a.C., especially, the conflicts with the temple of Jerusalem and the Roman Empire. The desire and the practice that intended a transformation on the reality is what we mention as the Jesus political praxis. It is about a releasing praxis that faced the Temple and the Empire. A praxis that intended the ideological release of the Roman Empire, that made people slave through taxes, and intended the liberation from the oppression caused by the religious an political ideology justified by the name of God. Several bible pericope from Luke s gospel are analyzed through this point of view in our research. To conclude we descant about the political praxis of Jesus and it s reflects in present times, in other words, the implications of Jesus political praxis in the political praxis nowadays.
Esta pesquisa aborda a dimensão política da práxis de Jesus no Evangelho de Lucas. Partindo do pressuposto de que o Evangelho de Lucas é a memória popular e histórica de comunidades na pessoa e no projeto de Jesus, refletimos os conflitos que existiam tanto na época de Jesus como posteriormente na década de 80 d.C., em especial, os conflitos com o Templo de Jerusalém e com o Império Romano. O desejo e a prática que visaram a transformação da realidade é o que mencionamos como práxis política de Jesus. Trata-se de uma práxis libertadora que se chocou diretamente com o Templo e o Império. Uma práxis que visou a libertação ideológica do Império Romano, que escravizava e oprimia o povo por meio de impostos, e a libertação da opressão gerada pela ideologia religiosa-política, que se justificava em nome de Deus. Diversas perícopes do Evangelho de Lucas são analisadas nesta perspectiva em nossa pesquisa. Por fim discorremos sobre a práxis política de Jesus e suas nuanças na contemporaneidade, ou seja, as implicâncias da práxis política de Jesus para a nossa práxis política hoje.

O presente trabalho propõe um diálogo entre a teologia e a medicina a partir da análise da
cura da mulher que sofria de hemorragia (Lc 8.43-48). A pesquisa se orienta pelo padrão
metodológico e exegético praticado pela Faculdades EST e seus orientadores de pesquisa. O
trabalho descreve, de forma sucinta, a questão do significado da cura no contexto do primeiro
século, a história da medicina, apresentando seu conceito e sua origem, no que implica a
doença para o povo primitivo da Mesopotâmia e a doença no Oriente, a mitologia grega e o
desenvolvimento da medicina na Grécia, a medicina romana e a medicina entre o povo
hebreu. Ele se ocupa também com o autor do Evangelho, que a tradição da igreja atribui a
Lucas, o médico, originário de Antioquia da Síria, com a doença que acometia a mulher de
Lucas 8.43-48, com o significado físico da doença hemorrágica, com as possíveis causas da
hemorragia, com a implicação social e religiosa da doença. O trabalho apresenta uma
interpretação exegética do texto em foco, com suas prerrogativas de interpretação, com a
análise das variantes textuais e com análise literária do Evangelho de Lucas. O trabalho
enfoca também a iniciativa da mulher hemorrágica e sua cura através da ação milagrosa de
Jesus. O trabalho também reflete sobre o milagre da cura e a cura como milagre, sobre o

da mulher hemorrágica e o seu significado físico e social. Por fim, o trabalho elenca um
número razoável de obras, com as quais os leitores e pesquisadores do assunto poderão obter
outras informações sobre o tema.This paper proposes a dialog between theology and medicine based on the analysis of the cure of the woman suffering from hemorrhages (Lk 8:43-48). The research is guided by the exegetical and methodological practice of Faculdades EST and its research orientators. The work describes in a brief way, the issue of the meaning of curing in the context of the first century, the history of medicine, presenting its concept and its origin, as it applies to what illness meant to the primitive people of Mesopotamia and to illness in the East, in Greek mythology and the development of medicine in Greece, Roman medicine and medicine among the Hebrew people. It also deals with the author of the Gospel which the tradition of the church attributes to Luke, the doctor, originally from Syrian Antioch, with the illness which plagued the woman in Luke 8:43-48, with the physical meaning of the hemorrhagic illness, with the possible causes of the hemorrhage, with the social and religious implication of the illness. The work presents an exegetical interpretation of the text in focus, with its prerogatives of interpretation, with the analysis of textual variants and the literary analysis of the Gospel of Luke. The work also focuses on the initiative of the hemorrhagic woman and her cure through the miraculous action of Jesus. The work also reflects on the miracle of the cure and the cure as a miracle, about miracle in the Bible, in the Old and New Testament, and specifically about the miracle of the cure of the hemorrhagic woman and its physical and social meaning. Finally, the work lists a reasonable number of works where the readers and the researchers can obtain more information on the theme.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to examine what kind of ingroup conversion prototypes the authors of Luke-Acts and the Gospel of John express through conversion narratives and conceptual metaphors. By analysing the works of the authors I find a range of expressions conceptualising the act or process of conversion to faith in Jesus. These expressions contribute to forming an comprehensive conversion narrative, which has part in forming and setting boundaries for the ingroup of believers towards the outgroup(s) of non-believers. The ingroup conversion prototype for Luke-Acts shows norms of outgroup love, merciful and generous actions as well as good works and inclusion led by the Holy Spirit. The ingroup conversion prototype in John sets up norms of transformation through baptism, ingroup love and a breaking with the darkness of the world. The aim is further on to examine how these prototypes correspond to the models of conversion presented by Lewis R. Rambo. The results show that Luke-Acts view of conversion corresponds both to the model of traditional transition and intensification. The Gospel of John, on the other hand, fits only in the model of traditional transition.
