Docetic Text
|
Portrays Jesus as divine and only seems human. Seen by many as "heresy"
its bad, becasue it destroys the model of Jesus as what humans should look like and messes with the idea that Jesus didnt have pain. ex. Gospel of Thomas and Peter |
|
|
heresy
|
(literarly choices) That a choice is outside the bounds of normative Christian belief and practice
|
|
|
Gospel of Thomas
|
no resurrection
114 sayings of Jesus is relatively gnostic in that the enlightened one is giving spiritual wisdom. This secret knowledge is the key to escape life in the world. |
|
|
Gospel of Peter
|
says that Jesus didn't even have pain.
|
|
|
Relate Gospel of John to Thomas'
|
Although John's take on Jesus is almost not human, he takes steps to set himself apart from the Docetic text of THomas with the story of doubting thomas and the first chapter of 1John (we saw touched and knew him)
|
|
|
Traditional biblical look at Son of God vs. Son of Man
|
Son of God: good chooses this person for a special purpose. Often in terms of the line of David
Son of Man: mentioned in Daniel 7:13-14 from the heavenly realm to judge |
|
|
What is logos of God
|
logos was with God at the beginning and is God. All things are made and imprinted with the logos of God.
"Logos": word, reasoning, or wisdom is tskrn up residence in a human Law came through moses, and grace and truth came through Jesus |
|
|
Who wrote John
|
John was probably already dead, but his students wrote in hisname as an attempt to reinterpret expectations.
It seems to have a series of editors--> "seams" |
|
|
John vs. Synoptic
|
role of Jerusalem: Jesus goes 3 times in John and only once in Synoptics (i.e. Passover 3 times in Jerusalem in John)
Turning the tables over happens in the synoptic at passover time near the end, as the ultimate straw in the officials arresting him, while in John is in chapter 2. Thus the officials arrested him because of raising Lazarus from the dead. John has the "I am" sayings which come from Exodus 3:14 (I am who am). Jesus is reveling who I am is in the world... I am light, bread of life, resurrection/life, model shepherd. --> traditional Jews might call this blasphemy. |
|
|
What kind of Christological claims does John present
|
high because Christ is the logos, saying that he is the "I am" and becasue the man born blind in Chapter 9 was kicked out of church.
These high christological claims are causing the parting of the ways. |
|
|
how did the church move from the sect to a church
|
In the 2nd century by what is commonly known as the "parting of the ways". Happens mostly because of christology and conflict.
Christians begin taking its own views and identity on Christ It was crazy in the 2nd century to continue to call Christ a sinless/perfect human who was baptized. and that he is divine and the only one. |
|
|
Why do rabbi's think that Christian movement is heresy?
|
lack of common leadership= threat to unity. Temple was destroyed last time because of all of the sects.
Bar Kochba Revolt (132-135): thought he was the messiah and the Christians would not support another messiah Birkat-ha-miniam: in the liturgy of Jewish church that curses against those whose values are intolerable (Nazarene). |
|
|
Gospel of Matthew
|
Pro Jewish Gospel. Peter portrayed higher because he follows Jewish law better.
its thought that Matthew may have been written out of Peter's teaching lineage. |
|
|
Why the harsh language towards Pharisees in Matthew?
|
After 70 a lot of Jewish people had disappeared so when the Gospel written in 85 only the Pharisees were left so they were the people Christians were opposing.
Matthew is trying to get his readers to listen to the Messiah law interpreter rather than Pharisaic interpreter. The center of both the Pharisees and Matthew's teaching is the law, they just differ in interpretation. (while Paul's group is definitely not as law driven) |
|
|
Matthew's Relationship with the Gentile
|
As the Gospel progresses Gentile acceptance becomes gradually more. in 10: "go to the lost sheep of Israel" in 20: parable of the workers at different times, in 28: go make disciples of all the nations
|
|
|
Gospel of Luke
|
written in 90-100, written as two part volume (Luke-Acts) which starts in Jerusalem and goes to Rome. both are dedicated to Thelosophilos (friend or lover of God)
Luke says he is going to write an orderly account although he is not an eyewitness. --- this is important so that the Gentiles don't see a fickle God who just left the Jews, but one that went to the Jews first and when they rejected it it went to the Gentiles. God hasn't changed his mind, the Jewish people have just rejected. In Lu |
|
|
most significant point in Gospel of Luke
|
Luke 1:46-55, God creates a level playing ground (fufils prophecy)
Mary's song is the beginning that God is going to work through the lowly servant to make the high humbled on same level as the humble and lowly. |
|
|
Jesus' mission statement in Luke
|
Luke 4:14-30
Holy Spirit's role as the movig force behind everything that happens ---Jesus is the Jewish Messiah (the one Issaih was talking about) --God is continuing to talk to his people, just as he did wish Is. (Jesus was also reading=literate?) [his home(Jews) rejects him--> go strait to the Gentiles] |
|
|
Sermont on the plain in Luke
|
Chapter 6
sounds like Matthew's sermont on the Mount (now on level plain=theme of equality) hills are flattened like Is. spirtually poor vs. actual poor and hungry. Luke even goes farther to express Wos to the people. |
|
|
Luke's issue of wealth
|
LUKE ADVOCATE FOR POOR!
---in story of Lazarus the rich man is not even named --its normally not an issue of wealth, but rather compassion |

|
|
Acts of the Apostles
|
is the second of a combo series with Luke. both written to Thelosophious (maybe person maybe literary trope)
it is a story of a people not based on facts because there are no records The author is using the voice of Peter/Paul/James to tell us what they think about the event taking place. |
|
|
Theme of the Holy Spirit in Acts
|
The Holy Spirit is god's agent in the world that comes over the people who allow it, and they can move miraculously.
|
|
|
Comparing Apocalyptic expectations in Paul, Mark and Acts
|
Paul says Jesus will return
Mark says he is coming in your lifetime Acts says the Spirit indicates the last days. his return is not the focus. Just keep reinterpreting apocalyptic expectations. |
|
|
The People of The Way in Acts
|
according Paul, Christ was revieled in Paul not to Paul.
"The Way": hodos-path highway, road. The way of Jesus is very Jewish Language for a pattern of life (the path I walk on) living like Jesus (vs. of the law) [written vs. embodied] |
|
|
Apologetic Literature
|
written to justify that they are not breaking the peace.
|
|
|
What is missing in Paul's ministry in Acts
|
HIS LETTERS
maybe the author did not know of Paul's letters or maybe he didn't think they were important. |
|
|
between the years of 70-100 we are confronted with issues of accommodation vs. isolation in that...
|
should the group tak on new traditions or stay isolated
--accommodate culture of Rome in order to seek peace, include others, and integrate. --accomidations might look like... eating food that has been sacrificed, participate in cultural events, or accommodating philosophically. |
|
|
Authentic Paul vs. those who wrote in Paul's name.
|
Authentic Paul= 1/2 Corinth. Rom. Gal. 1 Thess. Phil.
---> these say that gentiles should be accepted, have women in powerful positions Writing in Paul's name came about because of the leadership vacuum (original leaders dyeing out)... so they increase authority by writing in the name of their teacher. those who wrote in paul's name were venerating Paul in a new context... takes Paul's writing into new context. |
|
|
Themes in Colossians
|
---everything created through Christ and in Christ.
--Christ suffered for us and we are buried in flesh through baptism --- the word forgiveness doesn't ever come up from authentic Paul, because the death of Christ makes a new creation that leaves no need for forgiveness. -Paul says welcome each other, and new Paul says forgive each other --Household duties = a piece of accommodates (doesn't sound like authentic Paul) |
|
|
Themes in Ephesians
|
You are God's dwelling place
church has become a cosmic entity instead of just a local community --> type of accommodation- church becoming larger like an 'empire' -judgment day not coming until all are converted, it only has begun on the cross. --> thus live in the dawn of the new age, not in the ways of this world. |
|
|
History of Revelation
|
-means Apocolypse-lifting of the viel (heaven)
-writer is a visionary and that is where his authority comes from -uses Babylonian exile to explain what is going on (just like Daniel 7 during Maccabean Revolt) -says it is written in the name of John -very descriptive and figurative -probably a Jewish Audience -written in Ephesus to 7 churches around Ephesus between 90 and 100 --> one of them is the place in which an imperial cult rose (text says to destroy idols) Reception history: very controversial, was not included until 400 and was forced to be read symbolically. -----> because by 325 Constine had made Christianity faith of the Empire |
|
|
Themes in Revelation
|
maintains idea that the time is near
prophecy was not to tell the future, but rather to enact change give by God all of the violent talk is just rhetoric --7 churches= completion--> to all churches -Jesus rules over all other Spirits but is not yet equated with God. --God declares that he is was and is to come, beginning and the end, while the Roman empire was and were not. image of Christ is extravagant to compare to the extravagance of an Emperor statue in Rome. --> remain steadfast in your faith image of the throne room (what happens in the heavenly realm should be mirrored on earth) |
|
|
Overall Purpose of Revelation
|
The image is to persuade 7 churches to stop accommodating and participating in Rome's oppression.
1.) cosmic vision why Jer. was destroyed (who did it, and give hope for revised warrior Christ) 2.) link destructionof the temple to the beast in chapter 13. (Stay steadfast and distant yourself from Empire worship) |
