Między tradycyjnymi i współczesnymi próbami zrozumieniaZawadzki, Arnold (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2019)The main aim of the article is to present, employing the tools of historical criticism, six problematic “nodes” around which a complex exegesis of the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Mt 25:1-13) has evolved over the centuries. These six problems are: (a) the identity of παρθένοι (the changes in the meaning stemming from the accommodation process); (b) the aspect of competition within a patriarchal society (good or bad?); (c) the bride (present or absent?); (d) the role of the virgins in the wedding procession (the chance of finding a husband, witnesses to the marriage contract, part of the beauty of the wedding ceremony?); (e) lamps or torches?; and (f) the fate of the foolish virgins (punishment or harm?). Moreover, historical criticism also points out a number of problems concerning the critica textus, as well as the intricate process of editing which influenced the understanding of the parable. Yet the most important question, as encapsulated in the article, is the identity and proper understanding of the bridegroom: does this character (as tradition has it) represent Jesus himself or, conversely, might it perhaps serve here as a personification of social injustice?Pozycja Nathalie LaCoste, Waters of the Exodus: Jewish Experiences with Water in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt (Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism 190; Leiden – Boston: Brill 2018).

The Origins of Mark 6:14-29Vette, Nathanael; Robinson, Will (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2019)In the vox populi of Mark 6:14-16 (cf. 8:28), we find the puzzling claim that some believed Jesus was John the Baptist raised from the dead. The presentation of John in the Gospel is similar to Jesus: Mark depicts John as a prophetic figure who is arrested, executed, buried by his disciples, and ‒ according to some ‒ raised from the dead. This paper reviews scholarship on the question of whether the tradition concerning John’s resurrection ‒ as well as the tradition concerning his death to which it is prefixed (6:17-29) ‒ originated outside of the early Christian community. We examine the possibility that sects or individuals in the ancient world believed John had indeed been raised from the dead ‒ as well as figures supposedly connected to John (Dositheus, Simon Magus). We conclude on the basis of internal evidence from the Gospel that the report in 6:14-16 likely originated in a Christian context. At the same time, it may also provide a glimpse into first-century CE attitudes concerning the resurrection from the dead.Pozycja Obecność anioła w opowiadaniu o najeździe Sennacheryba na Jerozolimę w Syr 48,21Pudełko, Jolanta Judyta (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2019)Biblical books, while presenting events from the history of biblical Israel, interpret them in a theological manner. This principle also applies to the description of Sennacherib’s military campaign against Judah and Jerusalem in 701 BC. This campaign is even reported in the Assyrian sources, which underline Assyrian military power. The biblical narrative emphasizes an extraordinary intervention of God, who saves his people in a mysterious way. This divine intervention was so important that is was reported in the Old Testament writings four times (2 Kgs 19:35; 2 Chr 32:21; Is 37:21; Sirach 48:21). Biblical reports explains the rescue of Jerusalem by the intervention of God, who is acting by his “messenger” – an angel. In the latest description of this event, found in Ben Sira 47:21H, the sage from Jerusalem gives his own interpretation of the whole affair, which differs slightly from other reports. The angel, by whom God is acting, is identified with the prophet Isaiah, who announces the salvage of Jerusalem as an answer to people’s prayers.Pozycja Chantal Reynier, Comment l’Évangile a changé le monde (Études bibliques; Paris: Les Éditions du Cerf 2018) Ss. 338. € 24.

Nowa interpretacja intertekstualna Markowego i Mateuszowego opisu trzeciego zaparcia się PiotraPietrzak, Jacek (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2019)The wording describing Peter’s third denial: “curse and swear” gave rise to several contradictory interpretations. Some think that it is hendiadys meaning nothing but swearing. Advocates of the transitive sense of the verb ἀναθεματίζω try to guess who is the object of Peter’s curse. The dominant view is that Peter curses Jesus. Others think that Peter curses himself or those who accuse him. Formula “curse and swear” appears in the Henochic myth about fallen angels (1 Hen 6:4,5,6). Peter, who denies Jesus, resembles one of the fallen angels, who opposed God’s will on Mount Hermon and separated themselves from God. The following pattern, which can be observed in the First Book of Enoch (1–6): the revelation of God, the announcement of the Last Judgment and the fall of those who belong to God, appears in the Gospels of Mark and Matthew twice: in Caesarea Philippi (Mark 8:27-38, Matt 16:13-28) and in the Caiaphas palace (Mark 14:53-75, Matt 26:57-72). The apocryphal context helps to understand that the curse always touches the one who opposes God. Throwing a curse on yourself is also confirmed by examples from ancient culture.Pozycja Janusz Pycia, Specyfika Łukaszowego orędzia o zmartwychwstaniu Jezusa (W Kręgu Słowa 20; Tarnów: Biblos 2018).

Some Remarks and ExamplesKorečková, Andrea (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2019)The extant remains from both Classical and Hellenistic periods portray a body of a Greek woman in all its beauty. They do not cover what was once revealed. On the contrary, they bring the female beauty to the centre of attention. This freedom of expression gradually disappears and a body is exposed only when portraying a woman with colourful past to show her failures. This paper introduces Greek tombstone inscriptions that captured female beauty for the future generations. Upon this, a question arises: what do these inscriptions mean to a casual reader? What is their purpose? What value did a beautiful woman have in the ancient society? Was she somewhat different from those around her? How did emerging Christianity react to the Greek ideal of beauty? What ideas were adopted and what ideas were firmly rejected? These and many other questions have arisen during the study of the inscriptions that engage people even today.Pozycja Isaak Kalimi, Starożytny historyk Izraelski.

ISBN 978-1683591047Dylon, Ewelina (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2019)Pozycja Funkcja 1Hen 9,1-3 w strukturze literackiej mitu o upadłych aniołach 1Hen 6-11Domka, Natalia (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2019)The article analyzes the structure of 1 En. 9:1-3 and its function within the larger structure of the myth of the fallen Watchers (1 En. 6–11). The short text introduces the four angels on the scene, their perception of the miserable state of humanity, and the reception of human complaint directed to God. The positive presentation of the four angels can be contrasted by the negative presentation of the fallen Watchers in 1 En. 6:2-3.7-8. On the other hand, 1 En. 9:1-3 is related to 1 En. 10:1-16 where the same four angels receive from God the divine commissioning. Since it introduces the decisive turn in the myth narrative thread, 1 En. 9:1-3 divides the myth into two parts, which implies the symmetric disposition of the myth.
