Book Synopsis The Anecdote in Mark, the Classical World and the Rabbis by : Marion Moeser
Download or read book The Anecdote in Mark, the Classical World and the Rabbis written by Marion Moeser and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2002-12-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major study of a Markan genre, represented in the central section 8.27-10.4, ranges through Greek, rabbinic and early Christian literature, providing detailed comparison with the anecdotes in Lucian's Demonax and the Mishnah.Moeser concludes that the Markan anecdotes clearly follow the definition of, and typologies for, the Greek chreia. His analysis indicates that while the content of the three sets of anecdotes is peculiar to its respective cultural setting, the Greek, Jewish and Christian examples all function according to the purposes of the genre.

Book Synopsis Early Christian Monastic Literature and the Babylonian Talmud by : Michal Bar-Asher Siegal
Download or read book Early Christian Monastic Literature and the Babylonian Talmud written by Michal Bar-Asher Siegal and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-23 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines literary analogies in Christian and Jewish sources, culminating in an in-depth analysis of striking parallels and connections between Christian monastic texts (the Apophthegmata Patrum or 'The Sayings of the Desert Fathers') and Babylonian Talmudic traditions. The importance of the monastic movement in the Persian Empire, during the time of the composition and redaction of the Babylonian Talmud, fostered a literary connection between the two religious populations. The shared literary elements in the literatures of these two elite religious communities sheds new light on the surprisingly inclusive nature of the Talmudic corpora and on the non-polemical nature of elite Jewish-Christian literary relations in late antique Persia.
Book Synopsis Genres of Mark by : Jacob P. B. Mortensen
Download or read book Genres of Mark written by Jacob P. B. Mortensen and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2022-11-14 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most fundamental questions when reading and trying to understand New Testament texts is the question of genre. It is impossible to understand a text, its meaning and intention, in its proper historical setting if one does not understand its genre: As an example, interpreting a satirical text without understanding the genre would no doubt lead to grave misunderstandings. The same logic applies to texts from the New Testament, and the matter is complicated even further by the immense historical gap between the time of the genesis of the New Testament canon and now. The problem of the New Testament texts' genre(s) is therefore a vital area of scholarly discussion within international New Testament scholarship. The current volume utilizes the newest insights from current research on the New Testament to cast new light on the question of the genre of Mark's Gospel. Here, prominent international New Testament scholars discuss how we should understand the genre(s) of Mark's Gospel, thus making an important contribution to international scholarship on the Gospel of Mark as well as the Gospel genre in general.
Book Synopsis Exploring Early Christian Identity by : Bengt Holmberg
Download or read book Exploring Early Christian Identity written by Bengt Holmberg and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main point of emphasis in the book is that approaching the Christian movement's early history through investigating its identity helps us to understand how the followers of Jesus developed from an intra-Jewish messianic renewal movement into a new religion with a major Gentile membership and major differences from its Jewish matrix - all in only a hundred years. Identity is not simply a collection of beliefs that was agreed upon by many first-century Christians. It is embedded, or rather, embodied in real life as participation in the founding myths (narrativized memory of and accepted teaching on Jesus), in cults and rituals as well as in ethical teaching and behavioral norms, crystallized into social relations and institutions. This is a dynamic feedback process, full of conflicts and difficulties, both internal and caused by the surrounding society and culture. The authors explore different aspects of identity, such as how the Gospels' narrativization of the social memory shapes and is shaped by the identity of the groups from which they emerge, how labels such as "Jewish" and "Christian" should and should not be understood, the identity-forming role of behavioral norms in letters, and the interplay between competing leadership ideals and the underlying unity of different Christian groups. They also show that identity formation is not necessarily related to innovation in moral teaching, nor averse to making use of ancient conventions of masculinity with their emphasis on dominance.

Book Synopsis Stories from the Rabbis by : Abram S. Isaacs
Download or read book Stories from the Rabbis written by Abram S. Isaacs and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abram S. Isaacs (1851-1920) was an American rabbi, author, and professor. The rabbis, whose sayings are recorded in the Talmud and Midrash-writings that stretch over about a thousand years-were admirable story-tellers. They were fond of the parable, the anecdote, the apt illustration, and their legends that have been transmitted to us, all aglow with the light and life of the Orient, possess perennial charm. The common impression that they were rabbinical Dryasdusts-mere dreamers, always buried in wearisome disputations, abstruse pedants dwelling in a solitary world of their own-is wholly unjust. They were more than ecclesiastics-they were men; and their cheerful humanity forms the secret to their character. Their background was rather sombre- temple and nationality destroyed, a succession of foreign taskmasters, a series of wars and persecutions that would have annihilated any other race. But if the Roman drove his ploughshare over the site of Judaea's capital, the Hebrew spirit refused to submit to the yoke of any conqueror. In the storm and stress of centuries the rabbis preserved a certain buoyancy and even temper, which sprang from the fullness and sunniness of their faith. They thought and studied and debated; they worked and dreamt and cherished hope- "Like a poet hidden In the light of thought, Singing songs unbidden Till the world is wrought To sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not."
