Abstract

Le premier volume présente tout d’abord, dans l’introduction, l’enjeu de ce commentaire de tout le corpus des quatorze lettres pauliniennes. Celles-ci forment ensemble un tout organique, réalisé par une équipe ou deux de rédacteurs-éditeurs. Une partie, la plus grande, est faite de lettres authentiques. Au moins sept peuvent être identifiées comme telles (Romains, 1 et 2 Corinthiens, Galates, Philippiens, 1 Thessaloniciens, Philémon). Toutefois mêmes ces lettres authentiques ont subi un travail d’édition. Les éditeurs ont fait des choix, parfois écarté des lettres entières, parfois introduit un fragment provenant d’une autre lettre ou même d’un auteur différent de Paul. Après les lettres authentiques, voilà que certains disciples de Paul ont estimé utile et nécessaire d’imiter l’apôtre et de poursuivre un enseignement qui se réclame de lui, même après sa mort. On laisse Paul ainsi préciser la manière de faire dans des contextes nouveaux, postérieurs à la toute première génération. C’est ainsi que sont nées notamment les trois lettres dites Pastorales (Tite, 1 et 2 Timothée). Même Éphésiens suppose une réflexion originale par rapport au Paul de l’histoire sur l’Église comme corps du Christ dans le cosmos. Tout s’est fait en moins de trois générations car à Rome, vers l’an 95, un auteur comme Clément de Rome, en rédigeant sa première Lettre aux Corinthiens, est témoin de l’existence de l’entièreté du corpus paulinien.On aborde ensuite cinq lettres qui forment les premières lettres écrites par l’apôtre pour des communautés en Macédoine, en Galatie et en Achaïe, c’est-à-dire la Grèce. L’apôtre ne se contentait pas de fonder des communautés, il les visitait personnellement ou par le biais d’émissaires réguliers, et il envoyait des lettres qui complétaient le premier enseignement. Plus d’une fois il tenait à armer ses communautés par des documents de poids qu’ils pouvaient donner à entendre à ceux qui de l’extérieur venaient jeter le trouble avec des doctrines éloignées de l’Évangile reçu lors de la fondation. Paul s’adapte à chaque contexte et donne à réfléchir pour tout choix de vie individuel et communautaire.

Abstract

Though a majority of commentators have admitted or naturally assumed that there were many divergences amongst the Pauline churches, many tend to concentrate on similarities more than dissimilarities (contra John M. G. Barclay; Craig de Vos). Especially, the previous scholarly treatments of divergences in the Pauline churches have shed little light on certain areas of study, in particular the early Christians’ socio-economic status.The thesis, therefore, underlines the conspicuous differences between the Thessalonian and Corinthian congregations concerning their socio-economic compositions, social relationships, and further social identities, while extrapolating certain circles of causality between them through socio-economic and social-scientific criticism.This study concludes Paul’s teachings of grace, community, and ethics were manifested and modified in different communities in different ways because of these different socio-economic contexts.

Abstract

In the late fourth and early fifth centuries, during a fifty-year stretch sometimes dubbed a Pauline "renaissance" of the western chuch, six different authors produced over four dozen commentaries in Latin on Paul's epistles. Among them was Jerome, who commented on four epistles (Galatians, Ephesians, Titus, Philemon) in 386 after recently having relocated to Bethlehem from Rome. His commentaries occupy a time-honored place in the centuries-long tradition of Latin-language commenting on Paul's writings. They also constitute his first foray into the systematic exposition of whole biblical books (and his only experiment with Pauline interpretation on this scale), and so they provide precious insight into his intellectual development at a critical stage of his early career before he would go on to become the most prolific biblical scholar of Late Antiquity. This monograph provides the first book-length treatment of Jerome's opus Paulinum in any language. Adopting a cross-disciplinary approach, Cain comprehensively analyzes the commentaries' most salient aspects - from the inner workings of Jerome's philological method and engagement with his Greek exegetical sources, to his recruitment of Paul as an anachronistic surrogate for his own theological and ascetic special interests. One of the overarching concerns of this book is to explore and to answer, from multiple vantage points, a question that was absolutely fundamental to Jerome in his fourth-century context: what are the sophisticated mechanisms by which he legitimized himself as a Pauline commentator, not only on his own terms but also vis-à- vis contemporary western commentators?

Abstract

Most studies of 2 Corinthians characterize the community as rebels who accuse Paul of weakness. Paul is thought to respond defensively, asserting his power in weakness. B.G. White confronts this consensus by arguing that interpreters overlook the material's most immediate context - a pained community (2:1-7; 7:5-16). After arguing that the Corinthians have ongoing pains, the author develops the implications for the interpretation of the strength in weakness paradox and the letter's literary integrity in a variety of texts (e.g. 1:3-11, 4:7-15, 6:1-13, 12:1-10). He argues that Paul's paradoxical life is a paradigm for the community to learn how Christ transforms their pains to create new emotions and behaviors - even reconciliation with Paul. More than a fiery retort, 2 Corinthians has the pastoral purpose of increasing human potential in weakness, without rendering that weakness inherently redemptive.

Abstract

Dogara Ishaya Manomi analyzes and identifies the characteristics of (neo-)Aristotelian virtue ethics that are implicitly and explicitly embedded in the linguistic elements, theological motifs, and ethical norms in the letter to Titus. He argues that (neo-)Aristotelian virtue ethics and the ethical perspectives of Titus share the following features: a sense of a moral telos that leads to human flourishing; emphasis on character, habits, and inner dispositions; focus on the morality of persons more than the morality of actions; commitment to moral perfectionism; particularity of moral agents; the concept of moral exemplar; a concern for character development through training or moral education; and a consideration of the moral significance of community. The author concludes, therefore, that there is a significant correlation between (neo-)Aristotelian virtues ethics and the ethical perspectives of the letter to Titus, to the extent that the letter to Titus can be described as a virtue-ethical text. Moreover, his research concludes that the virtue-ethical perspectives of Titus, in comparison with African ethics, have foundational and narrative differences, yet they share some important similarities. However, through progressive hermeneutical negotiations, concessions, appropriations, and application between the two virtue-ethical perspectives, there emerges a new virtue-ethical horizon described as »African Biblical Virtue Ethics,« which is, as accountable as possible, faithful to the virtue-ethical perspectives of Titus and »at home« to African Christian ethics.This study was awarded the prestigious Johannes Gutenberg Dissertation Prize.

Abstract

As part of his effort to make the Bible an effective instrument of reform in society, church, and everyday life, Erasmus composed the Paraphrases. In these series of texts, the Holy Scripture provides the core of a work that is vastly expanded to embrace the reforming "philosophy of Christ" in all of its forms. This volume contains two sets of Paraphrases, one on the Corinthian letters (circa. 1519), and the other on the group of letters from the Ephesians to the Thessalonians (circa. 1520). The first set presents an epistolary narrative which not only enlivens the events described but revisits them from a sixteenth-century perspective. Together, they form a sharpened portrait of the primitive Corinthian church and an intriguing critique of the church as it was in Erasmus's time. The second set, Ephesians to Thessalonians, offers an interpretation of Pauline theology with humanistic overtones that are distinctively Erasmian. In these Paraphrases, we see the craft of the philologist at work in the articulation of the doctrine of the Trinity, the humanist depicting Christ with an unmistakably human sensibility, and the artist discussing familiar theological virtues of faith and love in a new way. Apart from providing the first complete English translations of these Paraphrases since 1549, this volume gives excellent insight into the fundamentals of Erasmian theology and includes annotations which highlight the historical and linguistic implications of Erasmus's original texts.
