Abstract

Various passages in the Paralipomena Jeremiae, a writing largely neglected by NT scholarship so far, may shed further light on the background in early Judaism of the theological terminology of the NT. This is exemplified below: ευαγγελιζεσθαι is seen to stand for the preaching of eschatological salvation, κατηχειν for catechetical instruction, αναπαυσις for the quiet between death and resurrection, the ‘Jerusalem above’ for the eventual place of salvation, ‘tent’ and ‘fleshly house’ for the mortal body. ‘Steward’ is employed metaphorically; the metaphor of fragance and light symbolism are used. A certain interpretation of the site mentioned at Mk 15.21 is confirmed also.
