Dieter T. Roth – författare

Mark, Manuscripts, and Monotheism is organized into three parts: Mark’s Gospel, Manuscripts and Textual Criticism, and Monotheism and Early Jesus-Devotion. With contributors hailing from several different countries, and including both senior and junior scholars, this volume contains essays penned in honor of Larry W. Hurtado by engaging and focusing upon these three major emphases in his scholarship. The result is not only a fitting tribute to one of the most influential New Testament scholars of present times, but also a welcome survey of current scholarship.

Few New Testament topics have been discussed as often and as intensely as Q, the hypothesized second major source alongside the gospel of Mark for the gospels of Matthew and Luke, and the parables. And yet, no monograph to date has been devoted to considering the parables in Q. In addition to filling this gap in New Testament scholarship, Dieter T. Roth addresses the need to move scholarship on both Q and the parables forward along methodological and interpretive lines. Roth considers Q not as a text behind Matthew and Luke that needs to be reconstructed but rather as an intertext between Matthew and Luke that offered plots, characters, and images in parables that were taken up by Matthew and Luke and utilized in their own respective texts. In addition, Roth draws on recent parables research in his examination of the 27 parables in Q (two spoken by John the Baptist, one by the Centurion, and 24 by Jesus) in order to consider their purpose and function in this early Christian text.

Dieter T. Roth presents an extensive study of the so-called “staurogram,” argued to be the earliest visual depiction of the crucifixion of Christ. Roth examines the origins of this depiction in early New Testament manuscripts as a ligature or compendium of two letters in certain abbreviations of the words “cross” (stauros in Greek) or “crucify” (stauroo in Greek) in which the Greek letter rho is superimposed upon the Greek letter tau. In this work, the staurogram, ultimately understood to be a simple yet powerful depiction of Jesus crucified, is analyzed and located within the framework of ancient abbreviations, the nomina sacra, and the developing Christian visual culture in order to offer, for the first time, a wide-ranging presentation of this symbol in early Christianity. From the symbol’s origins within words in some of our earliest, extant New Testament manuscripts to its use as a free-standing Christogram, this volume provides important insight into how Christians, beginning with the staurogram, depicted visually their faith in a crucified Christ.

Damit die junge Bewegung der Anhängerinnen und Anhänger Jesu von Nazaret, die später als "Christentum" bekannt wurde, überleben konnte, war es für sie von höchster Notwendigkeit, Techniken sozialer wie auch theologisch begründeter Abgrenzung gegenüber anderen Gruppen aufzubauen und zu verteidigen. Diese Techniken änderten sich im Verlauf des Prozesses, in dem sich das Christentum von einer Gruppe meist neu Bekehrter zu einer Bewegung entwickelte, die bereits auf überlieferte Traditionen zurückblicken konnte. Im vorliegenden Band nimmt eine international zusammengesetzte Expertengruppe die Frage in den Blick, wie sich dabei das Verhältnis der jungen Bewegung gegenüber Außenstehenden entwickelte. Im Focus steht dabei auf das dynamische Zueinander von Fragen der Mission und der Ethik in Texten des frühen Christentums bis hinein ins 2. Jahrhundert unserer Zeitrechnung.

Die Forschung zur Logienquelle wurde lange Zeit durch Rekonstruktionsfragen oder allgemeine Legitimationsfragen von Q im Blick auf das synoptische Problem dominiert. Die Autoren dieses Bandes versuchen hier bewusst einen Schritt weiter zu gehen, indem insbesondere sprachliche Aspekte der Logienquelle in den Mittelpunkt gerückt werden. Da narrative Strukturen oder Sprachbilder auch unabhängig von Einzelheiten im Wortlaut erkennbar sind, können in narratologischer Hinsicht z.B. Raum, Zeit, Figuren, Handlung usw. fokussiert werden. Unter metaphorischer Perspektive werden z.B. Bildfeldtradition, sozio-historische Aspekte der Sprachbilder (bildspendender Bereich) usw. thematisiert. Da Parabeln für solch eine Analyse besonders geeignet sind, werden sie insbesondere in diesem Band in Betracht gezogen. Mit dieser Veröffentlichung sollen alte Fragen der Q-Forschung (z.B. Traditionsgeschichte, Trägerkreise) neu betrachtet und die Annäherung an Q insgesamt in neue Richtungen gelenkt werden.

Im Laufe der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte arbeitete Ruben Zimmermann daran, die johanneische Forschung in verschiedenen Punkten voranzubringen und den wissenschaftlichen Konsens zu hinterfragen. In diesem Band untersucht er johanneische Bildersprache, Parabeln, Figuren, Christologie und Ethik und zeigt auf, wie mit Hilfe multidisziplinärer, vorrangig literaturwissenschaftlicher Forschungsansätze neue Einsichten in Text und Theologie des vierten Evangeliums zu gewinnen sind.
