DIE VRAAGSTUK VAN `N NUWE-TESTAMENTIESE ETIEK: ENKELE BLIKRIGTINGS IN DIE GANG VAN DIE ONDERSOEK

THE QUESTION OF A NEW TESTAMENT ETHICS: A FEW POINTERS IN THE COURSE OF THE INVESTIGATION Part one of this article started with a very brief overview of nineteenth and twentieth century viewpoints, going into somewhat detail with regard to the latter. In part two some of the important questions brought forward in the research and partly reflected in part one, were elaborated upon with reference to specific literature. The issues were detailed under the headings of ‘unity and diversity in New Testament ethics’, and ‘relevance’. Under the first the viewpoint of situation ethics was discussed, with brief reference to ‘Mitte’ and ‘proprium’. Under the second the importance of eschatology was pointed out, but more space was devoted to social ethics, leading amongst others to liberation ethics; the questions of normativity and Christian freedom were touched upon; and finally the very important aspect of ecology was placed on the agenda, with reference to the excellent article by Grasser (1979), on creation ethics.

Responses to Apocalypse: Early Christianity and Extinction Rebellion

The Extinction Rebellion (XR) movement has grown rapidly in the past two years. In popular media, XR has sometimes been described using religious terminology. XR has been compared to an eco-cult, a spiritual and cultural movement, and described as holding apocalyptic views. Despite XR lacking the distinctive religiosity of new testament and early (pre-150ACE) Christianity, the movement resonates with the early Christian experience in several ways. (1) A characterization of events within the world as apocalyptic. (2) Both feel vulnerable to the apocalypse in specific ways, though each responds differently. (3) Both experience the apocalypse as a community and develop community strategies in response to the apocalypse. The paper sketches certain features of new testament Christianity and compares some of these to XR. The main difference between the two movements is that XR makes decisions to actively become vulnerable, whereas new testament Christianity was more often passively vulnerable. Elements of new testament Christianity provide a context for understanding XR as a response to an apocalypse.

De cura populorum et pauperum: Attending to the Needs of the Poor in the Gallic and Hispano – Roman/Suevic – Visigothic Councils

Abstract The councils from Hispania and Gallia are a rich depository that addressed the poor and poverty in the Gallic and Hispano-Roman/Suevic-Visigothic Councils, a topic that has not been explored adequately. For the first time a full consideration of the abundant conciliar evidence about caring for the needs of the poor is executed here. This essay analyzes all of the instances where the councils mention the poor and almsgiving to ameliorate their plight. One of the marks of holiness of Christians, clergy, and laity alike, is the care of the poor. Christ many times referred to the poor and the obligation of others to help them in his teaching and the Church did not lose sight of the obligation to care for those in poverty through individual or collective acts of charity. Paul did so as well and we find the same in some of the non-Pauline epistles of the New Testament. Overall, in the abundant collection of councils there are references to the concerns of the poor. The number of times that the poor are mentioned in the councils is not as numerous as we might expect; there are enough of them that merit our attention, however. The circumstances, moreover, that elicited attention to the poor is diverse and quite revealing. The poor although abundant – we do not know the percentages – in that society could potentially be treated, as in any age, as outcasts that were marginalized or forgotten. This explains why the Church was ever busy admonishing the faithful who did not suffer poverty to remember the poor and be generous to them.

Menyingkap Fakta dan Peristiwa Dibalik Tanda Nabi Yunus

Kitab-kitab dalam Perjanjian Lama merujuk pada penggenapan kedatangan dan karya Mesias dalam Perjanjian Baru. Demikian Kitab Yunus ditulis, pun merupakan rujukan dari penggenapan mengenai Mesias di dalam Injil. Dibalik perbantahan dalam mengidentifikasi Kitab Yunus sebagai kitab sejarah atau perumpamaan, fakta yang tidak terbantahkan berasal dari perkataan Yesus Kristus sendiri yang menghasilkan kesimpulan bahwa “tanda Yunus” menjadi petunjuk satu-satunya mengenai kematian dan kebangkitannya; persamaan waktu, yaitu tiga hari dan tiga malam ; persamaan kondisi, yaitu bahwa baik Yunus maupun Yesus sama-sama mengalami kematian selama tiga hari tiga malam, turun ke dalam jurang maut dan dunia orang mati ; dan pada hari yang ketiga “dibangkitkan” kembali dari alam maut, dimana Yunus dimuntahkan dari perut ikan dan Yesus bangkit kembali dari kematianNya dalam kubur ; persamaan misi, yaitu baik Yunus maupun Yesus sama-sama bertujuan untuk memberitakan kabar keselamatan bagi semua manusia.

TheGreek Column of the Complutensian NewTestament and the Implausibility of Vatican Manuscripts

espanolSirvieron los manuscritos griegos pertenecientes a la Biblioteca del Vaticano como base para el texto de la columna griega del Nuevo Testamento Complutense? El autor del prefacio griego en Novum testamentum grece et latine lo indico, diciendo que fueron “traidos de la Biblioteca Apostolica, enviados al Senor Venerable Cardenal de Espana”. ?Pero los manuscritos de la Biblioteca del Vaticano realmente sirvieron de base para el texto griego del Nuevo Testamento Complutense? En el estudio que sigue, se compara el texto griego complutense del Evangelio de Mateo,el capitulo octavo en particular, y los manuscritos alojadosen la Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana. Este estudio ofrece, en lugar de una conclusion definitiva, una reevaluacion de la cuestion relativa a las fuentes utilizadas para la columna griega del Nuevo Testamento Complutense, en este caso, pensando en terminos de lo que es o no es plausible. Para proporcionar un poco de contraste, tambien se proporciona una comparacion de la obra de Erasmo, Novum instrumentum omne y minusculas 1 (AN IV 2), 2 (AN IV 1) y 817 (A III 15), que muestra como se puede construir el texto griego de Erasmo usando esas tres copias con minuscula 2 que sirve como texto base principal. ?El texto complutense comparte la misma semejanza con uno o mas manuscritos del Vaticano queel de Erasmo con los manuscritos alojados en la Universitatsbibliothek Basel? EnglishDid Greek manuscripts belonging to the Vatican Library serve as the basis for the text of the Greek column of the Complutensian New Testament? The author of the Greek preface in Novum testamentum grece et latine indicated as much, saying they were “brought from the Apostolic Library, sent to the Most Revered Lord Cardinal of Spain.” But did manuscripts from the Vatican Library really serve as the basis for the Greek text of the Complutensian New Testament? In the study that follows, a comparison is made of the Complutensian Greek text of the Gospel of Matthew, the eighth chapter in particular, and the manuscripts housed in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana. This study offers, in place of a definitive conclusion, a reassessment of the issue concerning the sources used for the Greek column of the Complutensian New Testament, in this case, thinking in terms of what is or is not plausible. To provide some contrast, a comparison of Erasmus’ Novum instrumentum omne and minuscules 1 (AN IV 2), 2 (AN IV 1), and 817 (A III 15) is also provided, showing how the Greek text of Erasmus can be constructed using those three copies with minuscule 2 serving as the primary base text. Does the Complutensian text share the same likeness to one or more of the Vatican manuscripts as that of Erasmus to those manuscripts housed at the Universitatsbibliothek Basel?
