Douglas A. Hume offers a narrative ethical reading of the passages depicting the early Christian community in Acts (2:41-47 and 4:32-35). He begins with a methodological exploration of how contemporary scholars may examine the impact of biblical narratives upon reader's moral imaginations. Given the presence of friendship language in Acts, the work subsequently launches into an examination of this idiom in Greco-Roman philosophical and literary works by Aristotle, Plutarch, Diogenes Laertius, and Iamblichus. The author then proceeds to an exegetical examination of how friendship language is employed by Luke in the narrative summaries of Acts. This ethical reading of the Acts 2:41-47 and 4:32-35 incorporates multiple features of narrative criticism and asks such wide ranging questions as the use of emotion, point of view, and characterization to shape the reading audience's perception of God, the early Christian community, and other characters within the story of Luke-Acts. This study has implications for biblical studies, practical theology, and contemporary understandings of ecclesiology.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Douglas A. Hume bietet eine ethische Lesart der Passagen, die die fruehchristliche Gemeinde in der Apostelgeschichte beschreiben. Zuerst untersucht er methodologisch, wie zeitgenoessische Wissenschaftler den Einfluss biblischer Erzaehlungen auf die Moralvorstellungen des Lesers einschaetzen. Da in der Apostelgeschichte der Begriff der Freundschaft vielfach verwendet wird, untersucht der Autor dieses Wortfeld in griechisch-roemischen philosophischen und literarischen Werken von Aristoteles, Plutarch, Diogenes Laertius und Iamblichus. Danach zeigt er, wie Lukas seine Rede von der Freundschaft in den ersten beiden Sammelberichten der Apostelgeschichte benutzt. Die ethische Relecture von Apostelgeschichte 2,41-47 und 4,32-35 bezieht verschiedene Merkmale der Erzaehlkritik ein und fragt nach dem Gebrauch von Emotionen, der Perspektive und Charakterisierung, um beim Leser die Wahrnehmung von Gott, der fruehchristlichen Gemeinde und anderer Eigenarten innerhalb des Lukasevangeliums zu formen. Douglas A. Hume bietet eine ethische Lesart der Passagen, die die fruehchristliche Gemeinde in der Apostelgeschichte beschreiben. Er untersucht, wie die Moralvorstellungen des Lesers durch diese Passagen geformt werden. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
