Why don't you give exact delivery time?

Short description:
Was geschieht mit den Lehren Jesu, wenn sie innerhalb einer Geschichte oder als isolierte Aussagen verstanden werden? Todd Brewer vergleicht Gleichnisse im Thomas-, Matthäus-, Markus- und Lukasevangelium, um die Tendenzen von narrativen und nicht-narrativen Ansätzen zu differenzieren - Tendenzen, die dann anhand der Interpretationen von Hans Frei und Rudolf Bultmann exemplifiziert werden. What happens to Jesus’ teachings when they are understood either as isolated sayings or within the context of a narrative?
Todd Brewer examines this question by comparing parables across the Gospels of Thomas, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, uncovering the inherent tendencies of narrative and non-narrative interpretive approaches – tendencies that are further illustrated through the contrasting hermeneutics of Hans Frei and Rudolf Bultmann.
Long description:
Was geschieht mit den Lehren Jesu, wenn sie innerhalb einer Geschichte oder als isolierte Aussagen verstanden werden? Todd Brewer vergleicht Gleichnisse im Thomas-, Matthäus-, Markus- und Lukasevangelium, um die Tendenzen von narrativen und nicht-narrativen Ansätzen zu differenzieren - Tendenzen, die dann anhand der Interpretationen von Hans Frei und Rudolf Bultmann exemplifiziert werden. In this hermeneutical study, Todd Brewer examines two contrasting interpretive methods to the Jesus tradition: narrative and non-narrative sayings. The early Christians composed both narrative Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), and non-narrative sayings Gospels (e.g., the Gospel of Thomas). What happens to Jesus' teachings when they are either understood within an unfolding story of his life or as isolated sayings? By studying the same parables across narrative and non-narrative interpretive settings, the inherent tendencies of these two methods can be ascertained. These contrasting hermeneutics are not only operative in early Christian Gospels, but also exemplified by modern interpreters such as Hans Frei and Rudolf Bultmann. A sayings approach is significantly different from a narrative approach, especially in relation the questions of history and Christology.
