The brazen freedom of God’s children as Jesus has announced it – being free like the “birds of the air” or carefree like the “lilies of the field” (Matt 6:25–33) – is induced by Jesus’ optimism that the reign of Satan has already been broken. This leads him to a Copernican turn in the paradigm of purity: Not impurity is contagious, but the purity of God’s upcoming reign will pervade everything and enables Jesus to touch impure persons and even dine with them. Jesus’ optimism could be helpful for today’s church, to lose reservations against modern developments in our society as also in human sciences. A development of church’s doctrine in these points is already projected by the biblical encyclicals since Leo XIII. and should not cause fears anymore.

Deuteronomy connects three covenants, of the Fathers, that at Horeb, and that at Moab. These have different views on the future pardon of Israel, should it transgress the prohibitions of images and of foreign gods, and should the wrath of God and the covenant curses be realised. With reference to J. J. Krause’s “Die Bedingungen des Bundes”, this contribution demonstrates that neither Deuteronomy nor the Ancient Near East know any automatism regarding blessing and curse, and that YHWH is the free Lord and Partner of the covenant. Yet, He remains true to the covenant that He has sworn to the Patriarchs (Dt 4:31; 9:27). Therefore, He will enable Israel in exile to turn to Him (4:30) and on experiencing the logic of the covenant, He will circumcise their hearts (30:6). Then Israel will keep the foremost commandment of love for God and the provisions of the Deuteronomic Torah (30:6, 10) and live in abundant blessing. The Mosaic prophecy of Israel’s pardon surpasses the future turn in salvation history predicted in the epilogue of the Holiness Code (Lev 26:42–45).
《申命记》连接了三个先祖之约,一个在何烈山,一个在摩押。他们对以色列未来的赦免有不同的看法,如果它违反了对偶像和外邦神的禁令,如果上帝的愤怒和契约的诅咒实现了。参考J. J. Krause的“Die Bedingungen des Bundes”,这篇文章表明,无论是申命记还是古代近东都不知道关于祝福和诅咒的任何自动机制,而耶和华是自由的主和契约的伙伴。然而,他仍然忠于他对先祖所起的誓(申4:31;9:27)。因此,他将使被流放的以色列人转向他(4:30),并且在经历了盟约的逻辑之后,他将给他们的心行割礼(30:6)。这样,以色列人就会遵守爱上帝的首要诫命和申命记中的规定(30:6,10),生活在丰盛的祝福中。摩西对以色列人赦免的预言超越了圣洁法典后记中预言的救赎历史的未来转折(利26:42-45)。

David’s depiction in 2 Sam 15 shows his absolute faith in YHWH and his sole reliance on Him. This portrayal accords with Dtn 17,14–20 and contrasts sharply with the characterization of Absalom. The description of Ittai’s oath in YHWH’s name is deemed an example of adherence to YHWH by non-Israelites. The narrative portrays the ideal relationship between the people (the Israelites and foreigners) and YHWH. It is construed to depict the essential objective of the Deuteronomists in the postexilic period. Consequently, 2 Sam 15 does not belong to the so-called Succession Narrative; instead, it represents a Deuteronomistic narrative accomplished by the Deuteronomists in the postexilic period to express their theological ideals and opinions.
大卫在《撒下书》第15章中的描述显示了他对YHWH的绝对信仰和对他的唯一依赖。这一刻画符合Dtn 17,14–20,并与押沙龙的人物塑造形成鲜明对比。以YHWH的名义描述Ittai的誓言被认为是非以色列人遵守YHWH的一个例子。叙事描绘了人民(以色列人和外国人)和YHWH之间的理想关系。它被解释为描绘了后流放时期申命记学家的基本目标。因此,2 Sam 15不属于所谓的继承叙事;相反,它代表了后流亡时期申命记学家为表达他们的神学理想和观点而完成的申命记叙事。

In Ezekiel’s argument about idolatrous inquirers and persuadable prophets (Ez 14,1–11), how – if at all – does the restoration envisioned in V. 11 relate to the punishment envisioned in V. 10? In this essay I will assess a variety of older arguments about the relation of V. 11 to the preceding verses. In light of its outlook and vocabulary, I will argue that V. 11 has been composed in light of other passages in the book that emphasize divine transformation in the process of spiritual restoration.

The present article proposes what can be labeled an ecclesiological interpretation of the highly debated parable of the unjust steward. Jesus (probably the Historical Jesus) adhorts his followers to practice solidarity – also in financial matters – towards each other, something that obviously works pretty well among criminals (who keep together since one knows about the skeletons in the closet of the other and vice versa). It is typical of the narrative humor of the Historical Jesus that he makes his audience learn from criminal subjects; learning from others, even criminals is a Jesuanic strategy that should not be underrated in research on the Historical Jesus. Apart from presenting a new interpretation of the parable of the unjust steward, this article aims at documenting forgotten research about this text, especially from the 19th century and from some patristic sources, e.g. an exegetical tradition attributed to Theophilus of Antioch cited by Jerome (see n. 2).
