摘要
本文分析《圣经》释经作为理解保罗日益罗马化倾向的关键。亚历山德里亚的菲罗,保罗稍年长的同时代人,作为一个比较点被引入,因为他从早期的寓言注释到亚伯拉罕的生活,清楚地记录了罗马话语的智力之旅,这也是保罗的特点。论证分为三个步骤:首先,加拉太书中的亚伯拉罕形象与罗马书中的亚伯拉罕形象进行比较,并强调了后者中对典范的新论述。第二部分分析了斐洛的亚伯拉罕形象从系统的圣经注释到模范的伦理道德的戏剧性变化。第三部分讨论罗马的背景。菲洛后来的专著《每个好人都是自由的》(Every Good Man is Free)中的一些段落阐明了后者,这篇文章通过讨论希腊和罗马的英雄,在罗马观众自己的地盘上发表了演讲。这表明,这些异教徒的肖像是由同样的话语的典范,作为斐洛和保罗的罗马亚伯拉罕的肖像,在他们后来的注释。由于异教的轶事在罗马文学中有相似之处,它们为保罗和斐洛的罗马注释提供了一个背景。
A Roman Portrait of Abraham in Paul’s and Philo’s Later Exegesis
This article analyzes Bible exegesis as a key to understand the increasingly Roman orientation of Paul. Philo of Alexandria, Paul’s slightly older contemporary, is introduced as a point of comparison, as his move from the earlier Allegorical Commentary to the Life of Abraham clearly documents an intellectual journey towards Roman discourses, which is characteristic also of Paul. The argument is presented in three steps: initially the image of Abraham in Galatians is compared to that in Romans and the new discourse of exemplarity in the latter is highlighted. In the second section Philo’s image of Abraham is analyzed in its dramatic change from systematic Bible commentary to exemplary ethics. The third section deals with the Roman context. The latter is illuminated by looking at some passages in Philo’s later treatise Every Good Man is Free, which addresses Roman audiences on their own turf by discussing Greek and Roman heroes. It is shown that these Pagan portraits are animated by the same discourse of exemplarity as Philo’s and Paul’s Roman portrait of Abraham in their later exegesis. As the Pagan anecdotes have parallels in Roman literature, they provide a context for Paul’s and Philo’s exegesis in a Roman key.
