Short description:
Paulus' Besuch in Athen, insbesondere die Areopagrede, ist eine der bekanntesten Textstellen der frühen christlichen Literatur. Clare K. Rothschild untersucht, wie die Verknüpfung von Volkstraditionen des zweiten Jahrhunderts rund um den kretischen Propheten Epimenides die scheinbar unzusammenhängenden Komponenten der Apostelgeschichte 17 erklärt. Clare K. Rothschild investigates how the nexus of popular, second-century traditions crystallized around the Cretan prophet Epimenides unifies seemingly ad hoc elements of Acts 17, demonstrating that, in addition to popular philosophical ideals, the episode of Paul in Athens also utilizes popular 'religious' topoi to reinforce a central narrative aim.
MoreLong description:
"Paulus' Besuch in Athen, insbesondere die Areopagrede, ist eine der bekanntesten Textstellen der frühen christlichen Literatur. Es handelt sich hierbei um die wichtigste Rede des Paulus vor einem heidnischen Publikum in der Apostelgeschichte und sie fungiert als literarischer Höhepunkt der gesamten Erzählung. Kritische Analysen nennen sie eklektisch, eine Ad-hoc-Mischung aus griechischen und jüdischen Elementen. Clare K. Rothschild untersucht, wie die Verknüpfung von Volkstraditionen des zweiten Jahrhunderts rund um den kretischen Propheten Epimenides die scheinbar unzusammenhängenden Komponenten der Apostelgeschichte 17 erklärt. Ihre Analyse deckt Übereinstimmungen zwischen Epimenidea und dem lukanischen Paulus auf, welche nicht auf den Altar für ""einen unbekannten Gott"" und das Sprichwort: ""Denn in ihm leben, weben und sind wir"" (17,28 a) beschränkt sind. Die Autorin kommt zu dem Schluss, dass die Episode von Paulus in Athen, neben populärphilosophischen Wertvorstellungen, beliebte ""religiöse"" Topoi verwendet, um das zentrale Ziel der Erzählung zu bekräftigen. Paul's visit to Athens, in particular his Areopagus speech, is one of the most well known excerpts of early Christian literature. It is the most significant speech by Paul to a Gentile audience in Acts and functions as a literary crest of the overall narrative. Yet at the same time the speech is brief and possesses few specifically Christian terms. Critical analyses describe it as eclectic—an ad hoc blend of Greek and Jewish elements. In this study, Clare K. Rothschild explores how the apparently miscellaneous and impromptu components of Paul's speech and visit to Athens cohere when compared to the nexus of ubiquitously popular second-century traditions crystallized around the ancient Cretan prophet Epimenides. Precursor to the Rip Van Winkle legend, Epimenides was numbered among the seven sages, dubbed ἀνὴρ θεῖος by Plato, and venerated as cult transfer figure par excellence for transferring Cretan Zeus worship to Athens. Rothschild exposes correspondences between Epimenidea and the Lukan Paul, focusing on, but not limited to, the altar inscribed to ""an unknown god"" and the saying, ""In him we live and move and have our being"" (17:28a). Scholars have overlooked the significance of Epimenidean traditions by clinging too fervently to the presence of Stoic and Epicurean philosophers in Acts 17. The present treatment does not deny connections between Paul's Areopagitica and popular philosophical ideals, but seeks to show that, in tandem with these motifs, the episode of Paul in Athens utilizes popular 'religious' topoi to reinforce the Lukan theme of cult transfer."
