Abstract The Tannaitic Midrashim offer a unique and ancient view of the reception of the bible by the earliest generations of rabbis. This study describes how the close readings and textual analyses in these midrashim resulted in a fuller picture of biblical ideas and characters; in this case, the women of the Pentateuch. The tannaitic midrashic texts that describe Zipporah, Miriam, the Daughters of Zelophehad and Serah bat Asher are isolated and analyzed in order to see how the ancient rabbis read the biblical stories of these women and then elaborated on them in their exegetical writings.
单宁米德拉欣提供了一个独特的和古老的观点接受圣经的最早几代拉比。本研究描述了这些密拉欣的细读和文本分析如何使我们对圣经的思想和人物有了更全面的了解;这里指的是《摩西五经》中的女人。西坡拉,米利暗,西罗非哈的女儿们,西拉和亚设的女儿们,这些单宁米德拉西文的文本被分离出来分析,以了解古代拉比是如何阅读这些女人的圣经故事,然后在他们的训诂著作中详细阐述她们的。

‘From Where Are These Words?’ The Reception of the Bible in the Babylonian Talmud 《这些话在哪里?》《在巴比伦塔木德中接受圣经》

Abstract This article addresses the paradox of the Bible’s reception in the Babylonian Talmud: that despite the Bible’s centrality to many of the discussions and stories in the Talmud, the Talmud ultimately recontextualizes the Bible by creating a new version of the Jewish study canon. It argues that this paradox cannot be understood without recognizing that there are essentially two different concepts of the Bible held by the late rabbis; that is, a material Bible and a memorized Bible. The Bible makes an appearance in the Talmud as a physical object or set of objects, composed of words on parchment, and consisting of a specific collection of works, which are accorded special status. However, the Bible as a memorized study text plays a different role in Talmudic hermeneutics, in which the redactors of the Talmud present the Bible in atomized form as one of many sources that are all subject to the same type of discussion and interpretation. By analyzing the complexity of the Bible’s role in the Talmud, this article stakes a middle ground between the argument that the Talmud and other works of rabbinic literature are in some fundamental sense part of a continuous line of revision and commentary that dates back to the earliest forms of inner-biblical exegesis; and, on the other hand, the position that the rabbis either are uninterested in or represent an active rupture from modes of reading the Bible.
本文探讨了巴比伦塔木德对圣经的接受的悖论:尽管《圣经》在塔木德的许多讨论和故事中处于中心地位,但塔木德最终通过创造一个新版本的犹太研究正典,将《圣经》重新置于语境中。它认为,如果不认识到晚期拉比对圣经本质上有两种不同的概念,就不能理解这个悖论;也就是说,一本圣经材料和一本圣经背诵。《圣经》在《塔木德》中以实物或一组实物的形式出现,由羊皮纸上的文字组成,由一组特定的作品组成,这些作品被赋予了特殊的地位。然而,《圣经》作为背诵的学习文本在塔木德诠释学中扮演着不同的角色,塔木德的编纂者将《圣经》以原子化的形式呈现出来,作为许多来源之一,所有这些来源都受到相同类型的讨论和解释。通过分析《圣经》在《塔木德》中角色的复杂性,本文在以下两种观点之间找到了一个中间立场:一种观点认为,《塔木德》和其他拉比文学作品在某种基本意义上是可以追溯到最早形式的《圣经》内部注释的连续修订和评论的一部分;另一方面,拉比们的立场要么是对圣经的阅读方式不感兴趣,要么是代表了一种积极的决裂。

Abstract This article surveys the reception of the Bible in rabbinic literature during the period from the close of the Talmud until the rise of Rashi and the medieval commentators who followed him – from approximately 650 to 1050 CE. It considers works of midrash and mysticism, as well as works of individual Geonim. The article charts the eclipse of biblical authority in the period, and its reemergence in Europe at the end of the Geonic era.

Reception of Scripture in Rashi’s Torah Commentary 在Rashi的Torah注释中接受经文
Pub Date : 2022-11-01 DOI: 10.1515/jbr-2021-0034
Yedida Eisenstat
Abstract The most influential biblical commentary in Jewish history is that of the late eleventh century scholar, Rabbi Shlomo Yitzḥaki (“Rashi”) of northern France. This essay examines Rashi’s Torah Commentary as a midrashic anthology and examines Rashi’s reception of the Bible through the lens of his use of midrash. After highlighting shared traits of first-millennium midrashic corpora and Rashi’s Torah Commentary, I offer a new reading of Rashi’s “methodological statement.” I then turn to Rashi’s historical context to suggest that the Commentary’s lemmatized form demonstrates that Scripture cannot be properly understood without its rabbinic accompaniment, the midrash of the rabbis’ Oral Torah. Finally, I offer examples of the range of ways Rashi employed midrash in his Commentary, the primary lens through which traditional Jews have received Scripture for a millennium.
犹太历史上最有影响力的圣经注释是11世纪晚期法国北部学者拉比什洛莫Yitzḥaki(“拉希”)的评论。这篇文章考察了拉希的《妥拉注释》作为一本米德拉什文选集,并通过他使用米德拉什文的镜头考察了拉希对圣经的接受。在强调了第一千年midrashic语料库和Rashi的Torah注释的共同特征之后,我对Rashi的“方法论陈述”提供了一种新的解读。然后我转向拉希的历史背景,认为《注释》的语法化形式表明,如果没有拉比的伴奏,即拉比口述律法的米德拉什,圣经就不能被正确理解。最后,我提供了拉希在他的《注释》中使用米德拉什的一系列方法的例子,这是传统犹太人一千年来接受圣经的主要视角。

As Sweet as Their Original Utterance: The Reception of the Bible in Aggadic Midrashim 像他们的原话一样甜美:阿加德米德拉西姆语对圣经的接受
Pub Date : 2022-11-01 DOI: 10.1515/jbr-2021-0030

Abstract This article analyzes the reception of the Bible in a group of midrashim called amoraic midrash, or aggadic midrash, which reveal the centrality of Scripture in the world of the rabbis. Each midrash is organized around a particular biblical book and its verses, bringing a collection of interpretations taught by different rabbis in the land of Israel in the first five centuries of the Common Era. These compositions were redacted towards the end of the Amoraic Period and immediately after and are therefore referred to as midrashei amoraim. The title midrashei aggadah reflects their content, with almost no interpretations dealing with halakhic issues. In this article, I explain the unique fashion in which midrashei aggadah function as a mode of biblical interpretation, the creative ways biblical verses were employed by the rabbis, and the conception of the Bible’s unity evidenced in their midrashim. I then present the main role of biblical verses as an organizing principle in two genres of midrashic compositions. I conclude with the question of the link between midrashei amoraim and the world of the synagogue. Do these midrashim teach us about biblical reception and interpretation solely among the intellectual elite or also among the general public?
摘要本文分析了一群被称为阿摩腊米德拉西的米德拉西对《圣经》的接受情况,揭示了《圣经》在拉比世界中的中心地位。每米德拉什是围绕一个特定的圣经书及其诗歌,把一组解释了不同的拉比在以色列地的共同时代的五个世纪。这些作品是在亚摩拉纪末期或之后立即编修的,因此被称为midrashei amoraim。标题midrashei aggadah反映了他们的内容,几乎没有解释处理伊斯兰教问题。在这篇文章中,我解释了midrashei aggadah作为圣经解释模式的独特时尚,拉比们使用圣经经文的创造性方式,以及圣经统一性的概念在他们的midrashim中得到了证明。然后,我提出了圣经经文的主要作用,作为一个组织原则,在两种类型的米德拉西作曲。我以midrashei amoraim和犹太教堂世界之间的联系作为结论。这些米德拉欣是仅仅在知识精英中还是在普通大众中教导我们圣经的接受和解释?

Reception of the Bible in Rabbinic Liturgy: Expression and Interpretation 《圣经》在拉比礼拜仪式中的接受:表达与解释
Pub Date : 2022-11-01 DOI: 10.1515/jbr-2021-0031
Elie Kaunfer
Abstract This essay explores two questions: How is the Bible received and expressed in classical rabbinic Jewish liturgy? What is the implication for the understanding and interpretation of Jewish prayer, given the role of the Bible in the liturgy? We will review the prevailing theories of the Bible’s reception in the liturgy and classify the different forms of this reception. We will then explore the implications for interpretation of liturgy by analyzing a piece of the daily Jewish liturgy—the first blessing of the amidah.
摘要本文探讨了两个问题:《圣经》在经典的犹太拉比礼拜仪式中是如何被接受和表达的?鉴于圣经在礼拜仪式中的作用,对犹太人祈祷的理解和解释意味着什么?我们将回顾在礼拜仪式中接受圣经的流行理论,并对这种接受的不同形式进行分类。然后,我们将通过分析一段犹太日常礼仪——阿米达的第一次祝福——来探讨礼仪解释的含义。

The Gendered Body in Verse: Jacob of Serugh and Romanos Melodos on the Woman with a Flow of Blood 诗歌中的性别化身体:瑟鲁的雅各布和罗曼诺斯的旋律论《流着血的女人》
Pub Date : 2022-04-27 DOI: 10.1515/jbr-2022-0002
E. Walsh
Abstract This article examines the reception history of the story of the woman with a flow of blood as recounted in Mark 5:25–34, Matthew 9:20–22, and Luke 8:43–48 within the writings of two late antique poets: Jacob of Serugh (ca. 451–521 CE) and Romanos Melodos (b. ca. 485 CE). In their poetic compositions, Jacob and Romanos retell and interpret biblical stories employing narrative expansions and the attribution of imagined speech. The Syriac poet, Jacob of Serugh, wrote in the form of narrative poems, or mēmrē, while Romanos perfected the form of the Greek kontakion. Like prose homilies, these poems reached Christians from across the social spectrum, providing spiritual instruction and delighting audiences. Previous reception histories of this biblical narrative have largely overlooked late antique and early Byzantine poetry performed within the liturgical space. In addition to filling this lacuna in scholarship, this article also highlights how these understudied poems contribute to our understanding of early Christian discourses of (im)purity. Romanos emphasizes the symbolic value of the gendered body, blending the imagery of stain, impurity, and sin. In contrast, Jacob’s lexical choices and poetic style underscore the woman’s physical and emotional strife. Through speech and the description of the woman’s bodily state, both poets provide dramatic depictions of the woman’s encounter with Jesus that enrich our understanding of how late antique Christians interpreted this biblical story.
摘要本文考察了马可福音5:25-34、马太福音9:20-22和路加福音8:43-48中两位古代晚期诗人:西鲁的雅各(约451-521年)和罗曼诺斯·梅洛多斯(约485年)的作品中关于女人流血的故事的接受历史。在他们的诗歌创作中,雅各布和罗曼诺斯利用叙事扩展和想象语言的归因来复述和解释圣经故事。叙利亚诗人,塞鲁的雅各布,以叙事诗的形式写作,或mēmrē,而罗马诺斯完善了希腊的kontakion形式。就像散文式的布道一样,这些诗歌吸引了来自各个社会阶层的基督徒,提供了精神上的指导,使听众感到高兴。之前对圣经叙事的接受史在很大程度上忽略了古代晚期和早期拜占庭诗歌在礼拜空间中的表演。除了填补这一学术空白之外,本文还强调了这些未被充分研究的诗歌如何有助于我们理解早期基督教(im)纯洁的话语。罗马诺斯强调了性别化身体的象征价值,融合了污迹、不洁和罪恶的意象。相比之下,雅各布的词汇选择和诗歌风格强调了女人的身体和情感冲突。通过言语和对女人身体状态的描述,两位诗人都生动地描绘了女人与耶稣的相遇,丰富了我们对古代晚期基督徒如何解释这个圣经故事的理解。

Viragoes, Spermatophagy, and Racial Degeneration: Cultural Contraventions in Josephine Butler’s Meditations on the Levite’s Woman 处女、噬精与种族堕落:约瑟芬·巴特勒《利未女人沉思》中的文化冲突
Pub Date : 2022-04-15 DOI: 10.1515/jbr-2020-0014
Bernon P. Lee
Abstract The exponents of fin-de-siècle literary artistry painted New Woman a lascivious man-eating beast whose emasculating initiatives would check Western European ascent to civilization’s apogee. Unfettered by tradition, her intemperate spirit, blind to the fine(r) things of a “higher” cultural order, would return humankind to a primitive state. Literature and science, it seems, conspire along these lines to curb Late Victorian sexual-social anxiety. In this article, I situate Josephine Butler’s reading of the story of the Levite and his woman (Judges 19) in the stream of a broader challenge to the literary sensibilities of the time. Butler’s voluminous writings from the latter half of the nineteenth century brought a Christian acumen to bear upon a sustained critique of the androcentric and misogynistic persuasion at the heart of a cultural consensus on women’s character and sexuality. Her contention through an astute consideration of the Judges story is that a pervasive masculine animus of lust and rapine is the root of a crippling decline that is moral and religious, not strictly devolutionary. Yet, Butler’s favor for the tropes of the time—female salaciousness, mangled bodies, diseased members, and national degeneration—is resonant of language in the service of a broader consternation respecting the revisionary social-sexual movements afoot. Butler’s co-option of the cultural cadences in currency, I contend, is symptomatic of a shared ethos—that European dominance and splendor is the high-water mark of human achievement. In this respect, I propose, Butler’s critique of fin-de-siècle literary and scientific discourse is ambivalent. In rejecting and replacing the faddish cult of the inordinate woman with the scourge of the intemperate man, she stays, still, within the bounds of a British (and European) masterly optic on the non-European world.
西方文学艺术的代表人物把《新女人》描绘成淫荡的吃人野兽,她的阉割举措将阻碍西欧文明的巅峰。不受传统的束缚,她的放纵精神,对“更高”文化秩序的美好事物视而不见,将使人类回到原始状态。文学和科学似乎沿着这条路线共同抑制了维多利亚晚期的性社交焦虑。在这篇文章中,我将约瑟芬·巴特勒对利未人和他的女人的故事(士师记19)的阅读置于对当时文学敏感性的更广泛挑战的流中。巴特勒在19世纪下半叶的大量著作中带来了基督教的敏锐,对男性中心主义和厌女主义的持续批评,这是关于女性性格和性的文化共识的核心。通过对《士师记》故事的敏锐思考,她的论点是,普遍存在的男性对欲望和掠夺的敌意是道德和宗教上严重衰退的根源,而不是严格意义上的进化。然而,巴特勒对那个时代的比喻——女性的淫荡、残缺的身体、患病的成员和国家的堕落——是一种语言的共鸣,这种语言服务于一种更广泛的恐慌,尊重正在进行的修正性社会运动。巴特勒对货币文化节奏的选择,我认为,是一种共同精神的征兆——欧洲的统治和辉煌是人类成就的最高标志。在这方面,我认为,巴特勒对文学和科学话语的批判是矛盾的。在用放纵的男人的祸害来拒绝和取代对放纵的女人的时尚崇拜时,她仍然停留在英国(和欧洲)对非欧洲世界的精湛视野的范围内。

In this respect, I propose, Butler’s critique of fin-de-siècle literary and scientific discourse is ambivalent. In rejecting and replacing the faddish cult of the inordinate woman with the scourge of the intemperate man, she stays, still, within the bounds of a British (and European) masterly optic on the non-European world.","PeriodicalId":17249,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Bible and its Reception","volume":"12 1","pages":"125 - 159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85185039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reception of the Lord’s Prayer in Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity in Ghana 加纳五旬节-灵恩派基督教接受主祷文

Abstract The liturgical reception of the Lord’s Prayer (Matt 6:9–13 par. Luke 11:2 b–4) is well-attested and still evident in Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox circles. For instance, in reformed worship it is usual to hear varied versions of the statement: “And now as our saviour Christ has taught us, we humbly pray: ‘Our Father who art in heaven (…)’.” It is striking, however, that such a liturgical use of the text is scarce in Pentecostal-Charismatic Christian worship. Such is the case in Ghana, where Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity forms the largest and most popular stream of the tradition. It only takes a visit to a Ghanaian Pentecostal-Charismatic church during a worship session to ascertain this fact. This article investigates this liturgical phenomenon in Pentecostal-Charismatic worship by analyzing a selection of popular literature written on the text of the Lord’s Prayer and through personal interviews with some of the leaders of Pentecostal-Charismatic churches. Before engaging in reception analysis, a brief exegetical study of the text is undertaken. The article concludes that the Lord’s Prayer does not appear in Pentecostal-Charismatic liturgy because it does not conform with the Pentecostal-Charismatic understanding of prayer. Instead it is conceived of as a pattern or model and hence chiefly employed as a means of instruction on effective prayer rather than for recitation each Sunday, as manifest in Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox circles.
主祷文的礼仪接待(马太福音6:9-13,路加福音11:2 b-4)在天主教,新教和东正教圈子中得到充分证明,并且仍然很明显。例如,在改革宗的敬拜中,通常会听到不同版本的声明:“现在,正如我们的救主基督所教导我们的,我们谦卑地祷告:‘我们在天上的父……’”然而,令人惊讶的是,在五旬节派-灵恩派的基督教崇拜中,这种对经文的礼仪性使用是稀缺的。这就是加纳的情况,五旬节派-灵恩派基督教形成了最大和最受欢迎的传统。你只需要在一次礼拜期间去加纳的五旬节派灵恩派教堂就能确定这一事实。本文通过分析一些以主祷文为主题的流行文学,并通过对一些五旬节灵恩派教会领袖的个人采访,来调查五旬节灵恩派崇拜中的这种礼仪现象。在进行接受分析之前,对文本进行简要的训诂研究。这篇文章的结论是,主祷文没有出现在五旬节灵恩派的礼拜仪式中,因为它不符合五旬节灵恩派对祷告的理解。相反,它被认为是一种模式或模型,因此主要被用作有效祈祷的指导手段,而不是每个星期天的背诵,正如新教、天主教和东正教圈子所体现的那样。
