Egzegeza i interpretacja Łk 16 na podstawie metodologii wypracowanej przez retorykę semicką

Abstract

The focus of this thesis is an exegesis and interpretation of Luke 16 based on the methodology developed by Hebrew Rhetoric. The assumed goal has been achieved.The conducted analysis was described in three interrelated chapters. The first chapter was dedicated to the composition of the text. This stage of work consists of delimitation which has allowed to separate Luke 16 as one unit and present its context. Luke 16 includes three interrelated passages. Their detailed segmentation was provided in the second paragraph. The final stage was a holistic view of the examined sequence, which justified its symmetrical-concentric structure.In the second chapter, intertextual analysis of particular expressions significant for the interpretation of the pericopes included in the sequences, was carried out. At this stage, connection between units was revealed, what in the next chapter allowed to describe relations and explain the previously established compositional figure AXA’.Developed interpretation of particular passages has been a starting point for deeper analysis, in which parallel units were interpreted, what let to draw theological conclusions. It has been shown that cognition, in the biblical sense, is a first stage leading to full commitment. Only the person who really experienced the closeness of Jesus is able to risk using all possible means to enter kingdom of God. It is possible only by showing mercy and making use of worldly possessions. Undivided heart commited to serving God requires creative love of neighbour.
