L'uso di ἔξοδος nel Nuovo Testamento e nella letteratura cristiana antica
No full textQuesto contributo indaga l'uso del vocabolo exodos all'interno del Nuovo Testamento (Lc 9,31; 2Pt 1,15; Eb 11,22) e nella letteratura cristiana antica. L'analisi si concentra su tre significati specifici che il termine assume in tali testi: dipartita da questa vita; destinazione finale; esodo di Israele dall'Egitto
Introduzione
No full textLa distruzione di Gerusalemme e del Tempio nell’anno 70 e.v. avvenuta per mano dell’esercito di Tito rappresentò il crollo del fulcro spirituale, cultuale, religioso, politico ed economico di un intero popolo, sia degli ebrei in terra d’Israele, sia di quelli della diaspora. Fu dunque un evento storico mondiale, il cui corso e significato, le cui cause e conseguenze sono stati, e tuttora sono, oggetto di dibattito. I sei articoli contenuti in questa sezione monografica non mirano ad aggiungere conoscenza alla ricostruzione strettamente storica degli avvenimenti, bensì intendono indagare nel dettaglio alcuni racconti sulla distruzione di Gerusalemme e del Tempio appartenenti alle tradizioni letterarie sia ebraiche sia cristiane, prestando particolare attenzione alla/e interpretazione/i che ciascuna narrazione fornisce in vista del pubblico a cui è destinata
Shaping Politics in the Bible and its Receptions. Introductory Note
No full textOver the past four decades, considerable attention has been devoted in biblical studies to the emergence of literature within the matrix of imperial domination and/or resistance to constituted powers as a lens for understanding biblical narratives, their origins, purposes, and audiences. Additionally, studies examining how the Bible(s) reshaped Jewish and later Christian language and theology (Wirkungen) have highlighted how biblical literature played a key role in forming and solidifying specific political imaginations within dynamic, diverse communities of readers. Their authority figures or groups have used/misused specific interpretations of biblical narratives to address central issues of the sociopolitical sphere, to assert one or the other right in public debate, and to establish boundaries of acceptability in the society they were creating or in which they lived. This means that the Bible can (also) be considered a political document, which has been used throughout the centuries in diverse communities and for different goals as a source of political authority. Put another way, politics has shaped and been shaped by biblical texts
«Verranno giorni...» nel Vangelo di Luca: l’influenza di Geremia LXX sulle profezie di Gesù riguardanti la distruzione di Gerusalemme
No full textThis study investigates the prophecies of Jesus on the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple as they appear in the Gospel of Luke (13:34–35, and especially 19:41–44; 21:5–6,20–24; 23:28–31) in light of their intertextual relationship with passages or texts from Scripture. The analysis focuses on how certain terms or expressions of the prophetic language of Jeremiah, and to a lesser extent of Lamentations, are borrowed through the Septuagint version (e.g., ἡμέραι ἔρχονται), recombined, and modified by Luke. This research, however, is not only lexical and comparative but also enters the exegetical field. It explores the reasons for and meaning of the use of LXX Jeremiah in these particular passages of the Gospel of Luke, where Jesus himself is speaking in the midst of the impending catastrophe

Reading Scriptures and Thinking Politics - monographic section of "Cristianesimo nella storia", 45, 2
No full textThe Bible and its reception are the focus of this monographic section. It investigates, on the one hand, aspects of governance and the relationship with the state or among states as perceived in certain biblical texts. On the other hand, it explores scriptural influences and uses in various hermeneutical reflections and reworkings of politics in post-biblical times, from Augustine to Martin Luther.
Four contributions, written by an international group of scholars, address different aspects of the issue. While each article has a specific focus, collectively, they provide a broad and representative (though not exhaustive) overview of the topics. Specifically, the diachronic approach of these contributions reveals how the pluralism of ideologies – often conflicting – arising from ancient Israel, early Judaism, and Christianity, and permeating their sacred texts, has generated a diversity of perceptions, conceptions, and practical applications concerning the intricate realm of politics across various literary texts and historical periods
Costruzioni dell'eresia e dell'ortodossia nel cristianesimo antico

Old Greek Daniel 2: Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream as a Visible and Infallible Prophecy
No full textThis study focuses on Old Greek (OG) Daniel 2. In the Masoretic Text (MT), the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar has a symbolic «dream» that he cannot understand, while Daniel perceives the same dream and its interpretation through a revelatory nocturnal «vision». The lexical differentiation between the oneiric experience of a non-Jew and that of a Jew is not preserved in the OG. The translator uses both «dream» (ἐνύπνιον) and «vision» (ὅραμα) to describe Nebuchadnezzar’s dream experience. Is the employment of the two oneiric terms in DanOG 2 unintentional? Is it deliberate but merely due to stylistic needs? Or is it the result of a conscious effort to convey a new perspective compared to its Semitic source? I address this question by contextualising the semantics of the oneiric lexicon in the light of coeval papyri from Ptolemaic Egypt, LXX, Jewish writings in Greek from the Hellenistic-Roman period, and ancient Greek literature. This investigation shows how, in DanOG 2, the use of technical nouns for «dream» is skilfully and intentionally orchestrated and intended to emphasise the prophetic character of the king’s «vision»
