Beschreibung

<p>This volume is the outcome of a symposium on wisdom in the New Testament. It aims to deepen research on the topic in light of current developments in the field.<br> <br><br> The first section, <br> <b>Perspectives from Ancient Wisdom Literature</b><br> , offers complementary readings of ancient wisdom motifs in the New Testament, each showing how those motifs shaped early Christian thought. Dafni traces the trajectory of a succinct gnomic saying through Amenemope and Theognis, the Masoretic and Septuagint versions of Proverbs 27:1, and its echoes in the New Testament. Docherty shows that wisdom literature substantially shaped early Christian eschatological and ethical imagination.<br> <br><br> The second section, <br> <b>Perspectives on Wisdom in the Synoptic Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles</b><br> , illuminates how ancient wisdom traditions shape the Gospel portrayals of Jesus and early Christian identity. Viljoen traces wisdom motifs from Second Temple literature in Matthew's portrait of Jesus. Wagner examines the Two Ways teaching in Matthew as a persistent wisdom motif that originates in Old Testament wisdom literature and resurfaces in Matthew 7:13-14 and the Didache. Neumann reads the saying about the lamp of the body in the light of ancient theories of vision and shows how Matthew and Luke adapt the motif for different rhetorical purposes. Davis offers a synchronic reading of in Luke's Gospel and argues that wisdom functions less as discrete propositional knowledge than as a social marker distinguishing insiders from outsiders. Stenschke traces the role of wisdom in questions of leadership, conflict, and identity in Acts.<br> <br><br> In the third section, <br> <b>Perspectives on Wisdom in the Johannine Literature</b><br> , Anderson argues that John's revelatory portrait of Jesus does not derive from Gnostic sources, while Claussen contends that reading John's water imagery alongside the wisdom traditions clarifies the Gospel's Christology.<br> <br><
