Abstract

In der Johannesoffenbarung findet sich die im Neuen Testament singuläre Erwartung eines zeitlich begrenzten, irdischen Messiasreiches am Ende der Geschichte. Traditionell wird die Funktion dieses tausendjährigen Messiasreiches (Millennium) als Trost für die unter Domitian verfolgten Christen Kleinasiens und als Ermutigung zum blutigen Martyrium bestimmt. Neuere altertumswissenschaftliche Forschungen haben jedoch gezeigt, dass sich eine umfassende oder lokal begrenzte Christenverfolgung infolge einer Forcierung des Kaiserkultes in Kleinasien an der Wende vom 1. zum 2. Jahrhundert nicht nachweisen lässt. Zudem beachtet das traditionelle Verständnis der Johannesoffenbarung und der Millenniumsvision kaum, dass die sieben Sendschreiben (Offb 2-3) weniger von einer äußeren als von einer inneren Gefährdung der Gemeinden durch das Auftreten von Irrlehrern sprechen. Vor diesem Hintergrund bestimmt die vorliegende Arbeit die Funktion der Millenniumsvision sowohl im Blick auf die Lebensbedingungen der christlichen Minderheit in den heidnischen Poleis Kleinasiens als auch im Blick auf den inneren Zustand der Gemeinden.

Abstract

"This book investigates the various paraphrastic techniques employed by Nonnus of Panopolis (5th century CE) for his poetic version of the Gospel of John. The authors look at Nonnus' Paraphrase, the only extant poetic Greek paraphrase of the New Testament, in the light of ancient rhetorical theory while also exploring its multi-faceted relationship with poetic tradition and the theological debates of its era. The study shows how interpretation, cardinal both in ancient literary criticism and in theology, is exploited in a poem that is exegetical both from a philological and a Christian point of view and adheres, at the same time, to the literary principles of Hellenistic times and late antiquity"--

Abstract

"Nonnus' Paraphrasis, an epic rendition of the Fourth Gospel, offers a highly sophisticated interpretation of the Johannine text. An essential means to this end is extensive use of the imagery related to Greek, and especially Dionysiac, mysteries. Doroszewski successfully challenges the once predominant view that the mystery terminology in the poem is nothing more than rhetorical ornament. He convincingly argues for an important exegetical role Nonnus gives to the mystery terms. On the one hand, they refer to the Mystery of Christ. Jesus introduces his followers into the new dimension of life and worship that enables them to commune with God. This is portrayed as falling into Bacchic frenzy and being initiated into secret rites. On the other hand, the terminology has a polemical function, too, as Nonnus uses it to present the Judaic cult as bearing the hallmarks of pagan mysteries. As the book discusses the Paraphrasis against the background of the mystery metaphor development in antiquity, it serves as an excellent introduction to this key feature of the ancient mentality and will appeal to all interested in the culture of Imperial times, especially in Early Christianity, Patristics, Neoplatonism and Late Antique poetry"
