Abstract

From Jesus to His First Followers examines to what extent early Christian groups were in continuity or discontinuity with respect to Jesus. Adriana Destro and Mauro Pesce concentrate on the transformation of religious practices. Their anthropological-historical analysis focuses on the relations between discipleship and households, on the models of contact with the supernatural world, and on cohabitation among distinct religious groups. The book highlights how Matthew uses non-Jewish instruments of legitimation, John reformulates religious experiences through symbolized domestic slavery, Paul adopts a religious practice diffused in Roman-Hellenistic environments. The book reconstructs the map of early Christian groups in the Land of Israel and explains their divergences on the basis of an original theory of the local origin of Gospels’ information.

Abstract

This book applies anthropological insights to the understanding of an ancient and puzzling ritual, that of the sotah, or suspected adulteress. The ritual, initiated by a suspicious husband, was first described in Numbers 5, is elaborated by the later rabbis. Destro argues that the rabbis patter the sotah ritual to emphasize its, and the woman’s, anomalous nature and the symbolic work that this patterning does for the rabbinic system as a whole.

Abstract

"Quale fu il rapporto di Gesù con il Battista? Il movimento di Gesù era una filiazione di quello di Giovanni o un'iniziativa autonoma? Gesù fu semplicemente un discepolo del Battista oppure seppe interpretare richieste ed esigenze che andavano oltre la rinascita dall'acqua del Giordano? Nel libro si sostiene che i due leader siano tra quegli innovatori che compaiono in brevi periodi creativi di accelerazione storica. Essi rispondevano alla crisi endemica dovuta all'occupazione romana che da circa ottant'anni aveva privato gli ebrei di un proprio regno. Letti in prospettiva antropologica e sociale, i vangeli ci restituiscono la visione che il Battista e Gesù avevano della crisi della società del tempo, segnata da fragilità, bisogni insoddisfatti, ingiustizia, indebitamento cronico. Inoltre, pur influenzato dal Battista, Gesù aveva prospettive differenti. Strinse rapporti con gli strati poveri dei villaggi. Sognava un futuro libero da malattia e indigenza. Ricorrendo ai grandi miti del giudizio universale e del regno di Dio, il Battista e Gesù entusiasmarono le folle, provocarono la reazione del potere politico che li mise a morte. Continuarono però a incidere in modo innovativo sulla vita reale della gente di allora e delle epoche successive"--

Abstract

"Within the contemporary renewal of the exegetical and historical research on Jesus and early Christianity, this book stresses the importance of new epistemological and methodological perspectives in exegesis and History of Christianity (from the point of view of Cultural Anthropology and Comparative Religion). The articles of the first section present a consequent interpretation of Jesus within Jewish culture of the First century. Jesus activity is located within the Jewish movement of John the Baptizer. His words and political attitude is interpreted in the Jewish context of the Land of Israel under Roman administration. His movement is seen as a sub-group within Jewish society. The section dedicated to the first groups of Jesus' disciples in the Land of Israel and in the ancient Mediterranean world manly focuses on three constellations of questions: (a) the multiplicity and fractionation of Jesus' groups, for example in Jerusalem in the period between 30 an 70 of the First century, (b) the fact that post-Jesus Movement was sociologically characterized by a multiplicity of sub-groups of Jewish groups and movements; (c) the radical modifications provoked by the abandonment of Jewish contexts when the majority of followers was composed by Gentiles with limited relation with the daily practice of Jewish life and religion. Particular attention is dedicated to the connection of contemporary research with the interpretations of Jesus and early Christianity developed in the modern age"--Back cover.

Abstract

Un livre original et inédit qui tente de mieux comprendre l'histoire de la première transmission des matériaux concernant Jésus et, par conséquent, les critères pour remonter à la figure historique du même Jésus. Les auteurs explorent ainsi la formation de la tradition, ainsi que la construction et la transmission de la mémoire sur Jésus. Pour ce faire, ils mènent, sur la base de nombreuses recherches partielles échelonnées sur les dernières décennies, une enquête sur les zones géographiques probables dans lesquelles se sont formés et initialement transmis différents ensembles de souvenirs concernant Jésus, que les auteurs d'évangiles ont repris, modifiés et réunis. On découvre ainsi des préoccupations particulières propres à chaque évangile et un christianisme naissant beaucoup plus hétéroclite qu'imaginé.

Abstract

Proceedings of the First Meeting of Bertinoro on Early Christianity (2-5 October, 2014). Within the contemporary renewal of the exegetical and historical research on Jesus and early Christianity, this book focuses on a wider knowledge of the social and cultural context of the first two centuries, thanks to a systematic research of documentary materials and archaeological data (epigraphs and documentary papyri). Secondly, the book faces the increasingly perceived need to use all the existing literary material for the reconstruction of the historical Jesus and the first groups of his followers. Thirdly, the book stresses the importance of giving space to new epistemological and methodological perspectives in the field of human sciences. The last section of the volume is dedicated to the connection of contemporary research with the interpretations of Jesus and early Christianity developed in the modern age.
