Deliberating Life and Death
Dubitatio is a complex figure of speech in which a speaker explicitly weighs her or his options in the course of making a difficult decision. Dubitatio was typically used to display a protagonist's character as revealed in her or his decision-making. In Philippians 1:22–26, Paul uses dubitatio to draw the readers into his deliberations whether to commit suicide in prison. In so doing, he not only reveals to them his own character but their charac…
Philippians
Coping with Prejudice. 1 Peter in Social-Psychological Perspective
»Vielmehr bietet [der Kommentar] auf höchstem Niveau eine substantielle Auseinandersetzung mit den Hintergründen, den Zusammenhängen, der Theorie und der Praxis des Grundgesetzes. Besseres lässt sich von einem Verfassungskommentar nicht sagen.“ Herbert Günther Staaatsanzeiger für das Land Hessen 2018 (50), 1494–1495
Commendatio aliqua sui
Paulus schrieb seinen Brief an die Christen in Rom mit dem Ziel, ihre Unterstützung für seine geplante Missionsreise nach Spanien zu gewinnen. Als Provinzbewohner verwendete er verschiedene Strategien der Selbstpräsentation, um mit Hilfe dieses kulturellen Kapitals (»le capital culturel«) eine positive Reaktion in der Hauptstadt des Römischen Reiches zu erreichen. Zwei besonders wichtige Strategien lassen sich mit der theoretischen Soziologie von…

Consolation in Philippians
Coping with Prejudice
Paul A. Holloway draws on the findings of social psychology to argue that 1 Peter marks one of the earliest attempts by a Christian author to craft a comprehensive response to anti-Christian prejudice and the persecution it engendered.
Coping with prejudice
Modern social psychology has devoted a significant share of its resources to the study of human prejudice. Most research to date has focused on those groups that exhibit prejudice. However, a number of recent studies have begun to investigate prejudice from the perspective of its »targets.« These studies have shown prejudice to be a powerful stressor that places unique and costly demands on its targets. They have also identified a number of strat…
Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen Zum Neuen Testament
Alius Paulus
Interpreters of Paul's letter to the Philippians continue to struggle to understand the place of Paul's promise to send Timothy (Phil 2.19–24) in the overall rhetoric of the letter. However, if one reads Philippians as a letter of consolation the problems associated with this text can be solved. In particular, it becomes evident that the imprisoned and possibly soon-to-be-executed Paul offers Timothy to his anxious readers as his replacement, as …
Thanks for the Memories
According to the natural sense of the Greek, Phil 1.3 should be translated something like, ‘I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you’. Scholars have rejected this interpretation without explanation, presumably because the thought of Paul thanking God for pleasant memories seems too odd even to be considered. Philippians, however, is a letter of consolation, and pleasant memories were a common source of consolation in Hellenistic–Roman…
Nihil inopinati accidisse – ‘Nothing unexpected has happened’
1 Peter was written for the dual purpose of exhortation and consolation. Recent studies have focused on the former of these purposes (exhortation); this article attends to the latter (consolation). It argues that the last section of 1 Peter (4.12ff.), which since Perdelwitz has been identified as a concluding ‘Trostwort’, develops at length the popular consolatory topos ‘nihil inopinati accidisse’ (‘nothing unexpected has happened’). This topos w…
