Abstract

Reflexionen über Gott, Christus und den Kosmos in den Schriften des Paulus und der Paulinischen Schule zeigen, daß diese Autoren die griechisch-römische Kosmologie und Theologie gut kannten. Sie könnten sogar möglicherweise eine Denkweise angenommen haben, in der diese Kosmologie mit dem Judentum eine Synthese eingegangen war und in der Jesus als eine Art kosmischer Gott gedeutet wurde.Vor diesem Hintergrund wirft George van Kootens Untersuchung auch ein neues Licht auf das Verhältnis zwischen Kolosser- und Epheserbrief.

Abstract

This book introduces and translates Sedulius Scottus' Prologue (to the entire Collectaneum in Apostolum) and commentaries on Galatians and Ephesians. The introduction outlines the historical context of composition, identifies Sedulius' literary model - Servius, discusses Sedulius' organizing trope for the Prologue - the septem circumstantiae, asserts for what purpose and for whom he composed the Collectaneum, explains pertinent philological and stylistic issues, such as formatting, existing (or lack thereof) traits of Hiberno Latin, and Sedulius' knowledge of Greek, and it explores his use of exegetical and theological sources - predominantly Jerome, Augustine, and Pelagius. Since the commentaries are based upon these formative religious authors (among many others), the introduction also surveys Sedulius' doctrinal stances on important theological and ecclesiastical issues of his own time with particular relation to his reception of these authors. Sedulius' Collectaneum in Apostolum reveals an erudite author familiar with the style of classical commentaries, which he uses to harmonize the sometimes discordant voices of patristic authors for the purposes of education in accordance with Carolingian programmatic aims.

Abstract

Although scholarship has noted the thematic importance of peace in Ephesians, few have examined its political character in a sustained manner throughout the entire letter. This book addresses this lacuna, comparing Ephesians with Colossians, Greek political texts, Dio Chrysostom’s Orations , and the Confucian Four Books in order to ascertain the rhetorical and political nature of its topos of peace. Through comparison with analogous documents both within and without its cultural milieu, this study shows that Ephesians can be read as a politico-religious letter “concerning peace” within the church. Its vision of peace contains common political elements (such as moral education, household management, communal stability, a universal humanity, and war) that are subsumed under the controlling rubric of the unity and cosmic summing up of all things in Christ.

Abstract

This book considers Martin Bucer (1491-1551) as a teacher of theology, focusing on his time as Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge between 1549 and 1551. The book is centered on Bucer’s Cambridge lectures on Ephesians (1550-1551), analyzing them to find out how they display his method of teaching and “doing” theology, and in particular how they shed light on the relationship between biblical exegesis and theological formulation as he understood it. Divided into two interconnected parts, the first part establishes the historical context for the lectures, including a broad sketch of scholastic method in theology and the biblical humanist critique of, and alternative to, that method. The second part closely examines Bucer’s practice in his Cambridge lectures, showing the extent to which he was a theologian of the biblical humanist school, influenced (from early in his career) by the method Erasmus set forth in the Ratio Verae Theologiae in which true theology begins, ends, and is best done as an exercise in the exegesis of the Word of God.

Abstract

The primary focus of this study is the question of the extent and impact of Old Testament traditions in Ephesians. A close examination of the range of quotations, allusions and echoes found in the epistle shows that the Old Testament influence was greater and more deliberate than has hitherto been assumed. The main part of the book is a thorough exegetical study of various aspects of the question, ranging from identification of the relevant Old Testament texts to an examination of the ways in which they are appropriated and applied in the New Testament context. A number of implications emerge for our understanding of the letter's intended readership, and these are illuminating for the assessment of the epistle's relationship to the letter to the Colossians.
