Paul and Plutarch on Religion
Dieser Artikel ist eine religionsgeschichtliche Vergleichsübung. Die Haltung des Paulus im Römerbrief wird mit Plutarchs vermittelnder Position im Blick auf Religion in dessen Traktat De superstitione verglichen. Zunächst werden die unterschiedlichen Leseeindrücke analysiert, die sich bei der Lektüre der beiden Texte einstellen, um auf dieser Grundlage die Tonlage zu bestimmen, mit der die beiden Autoren ihre gegenläufigen Konzepte entwickeln und…
Interpréter Paul au pluriel: Une illustration à partir de 1 Corinthiens 5,1-5
The aim of this article is to show the advantage of submitting one biblical text to a variety of methodological approaches that will allow a reader to have a fuller understanding of the text. This article proposes to read a particular Pauline text (1 Corinthians 5:1-5) by using different methodological approaches that have been adopted and developed in biblical studies (the historical-critical approach, the "social-scientific" approach, the femin…

Interpreting the Book of Revelation in the Haitian Context
The Book of Revelation is an ambiguous, de-colonizing text that is normally read in Haiti, so as to re-colonize. The present study rejects the standard colonizing reading and proposes a postcolonial reading in the Haitian context. The proposed reading is intended to help the Christian churches in Haiti articulate a form of political-religious resistance to the pretensions to divinization that modern neo-colonial forces impose on the people. This …
Q as a Question from a Postcolonial Point of View
This paper reviews the second half of Excavating Q: The History and Setting of The Sayings Gospel by John S. Kloppenborg. The aim is to argue that, despite Kloppenborg's accurate criticism of biblical scholarship as it relates to Q and Christian origins, his project articulates latent ideological expectations that are unacceptable from a postcolonial point of view. He fails to address such issues as race and ideology in the formation of modern bi…
Hybridity and the Letter of Aristeas
This paper explores how the complex notion of hybridity, as developed by Homi K. Bhabha, can shed light on the Letter of Aristeas. Throughout the narrative of this ancient Jewish tale one finds a risky attempt on the part of the author to incorporate the best aspects of the two cultures and modes of thinking—Judaism and Hellenism—within which his community were living in Alexandria. In order to understand the dynamics of the hybrid condition of A…
