Abstract

This paper examines a single chapter of the Vitae Prophetarum (Lives of the Prophets) to explore elements that could be classified as Jewish or Christian. Setting aside the overt Christian glosses, this study explores two major themes: one is the report that Jeremiah was stoned to death by his people, the other that Jeremiah concealed the ark and the law in a rock for future times. Each of these traditions can be presented as either Jewish or Christian, through context of biblical literature as well as later patristic or rabbinic texts. This study concludes that the ambiguous nature of the text is due to a deliberate effort to appeal to a dual audience, providing insight on the purpose of the author, as well as reorienting the debate over the date of the Vitae Prophetarum.

石头和岩石:《耶利米书》中的犹太和基督教元素
本文考察了《先知的生活》(Vitae Prophetarum)的一章,以探索可以被归类为犹太或基督教的元素。抛开基督教公开的粉饰不谈,本研究探讨了两个主要主题:一个是关于耶利米被他的人民用石头砸死的报道,另一个是耶利米将方舟和法律藏在石头里,以备将来之用。这些传统中的每一种都可以通过圣经文学以及后来的父权或拉比文本的背景来呈现为犹太或基督教。这项研究得出结论,文本的模糊性是由于有意吸引双重受众,提供了对作者目的的见解,并重新定位了关于Vitae Prophetarum日期的辩论。

期刊介绍: The last twenty years have witnessed some remarkable achievements in the study of early Jewish literature. Given the ever-increasing number and availability of primary sources for these writings, specialists have been producing text-critical, historical, social scientific, and theological studies which, in turn, have fuelled a growing interest among scholars, students, religious leaders, and the wider public. The only English journal of its kind, Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha was founded in 1987 to provide a much-needed forum for scholars to discuss and review most recent developments in this burgeoning field in the academy.
