Het Evangelie volgens Nicodemus


Book Description

Het Evangelie van Nicodemus is een van de Apocriefen van het Nieuwe Testament. Het geschrift bestaat uit twee delen. Het Evangelie van Nicodemus gaat over Jezus' proces, veroordeling, en kruisiging. De eerste helft van Nicodemus beweert een ooggetuigenverslag te zijn van Jezus' proces en executie. De tweede helft gaat over het onderzoek naar Jezus' opstanding door de Hoge Raad. Het is daarbij de enige bron die vermeldt dat Christus zijn moeder zag op zijn kruisvaart. Sommige Schriftgeleerden vermoeden dat dit boek de aanleiding was voor de tegenwoordige kruisweg. De inleiding van het geschrift verwijst naar keizer Theodosius II, waaruit blijkt dat het zijn uiteindelijke vorm heeft gekregen aan het begin van de vijfde eeuw. Meestal neemt men echter aan dat het werk grotendeels in de loop van de vierde eeuw geschreven is.

New Testament Conjectural Emendation in the Nineteenth Century: Jan Hendrik Holwerda as a Pioneer of Method


Book Description

In New Testament Conjectural Emendation in the Nineteenth Century Bart L.F. Kamphuis investigates the life and work of Jan Hendrik Holwerda (1805-1886), who should be seen as the father of the Dutch Movement of Conjectural Criticism. Through a close study of his correspondence, Kamphuis reconstructs Holwerda’s remarkable scholarly biography. He then positions his text-critical theory against the views of Lachmann, Tischendorf and Tregelles. Finally, Holwerda’s corpus of New Testament conjectures is analysed by means of a newly proposed classification, while specific conjectures are discussed in the context of the history of scholarship on the passages concerned. This study not only significantly contributes to our understanding of the history of New Testament textual criticism, but also shows that several of Holwerda’s conjectures have lasting relevance.




The Gospel of John as Literature


Book Description

This volume contains thirteen essays written between 1900 and today. Each of them takes as its starting point the Gospel of John as a literary unity. The volume as a whole traces literary studies of John back to the early 1900's and charts their development from then. Some of these essays are little known even to Johannine scholars. Others are recognized as classics in the field. Two of them are translations. This book is therefore a timely and indispensable resource for those interested in the history of the fourth gospel interpretation, and in examples of literary methods applied to John.

Character Studies in the Fourth Gospel


Book Description

Using various narrative approaches and methodologies, an international team of forty-four Johannine scholars here offers probing essays related to individual characters and group characters in the Gospel of John. These essays present fresh perspectives on characters who play a major role in the Gospel (Peter, Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman, Thomas, and many others), but they also examine characters who have never before been the focus of narrative analysis (the men of the Samaritan woman, the boy with the loaves and fishes, Barabbas, and more). Taken together, the essays shed new light on how complex and nuanced many of these characters are, even as they stand in the shadow of Jesus. Readers of this volume will be challenged to consider the Gospel of John anew.
