Weeping and Tears in Luke's Gospel Narratives
Between Ancient and Modern Commentators
Seiten
Sue Ann Mak untersucht das Weinen im Lukasevangelium und konzentriert sich dabei unter anderem auf die Tränen von Petrus, Jesus und den Töchtern Jerusalems. Indem sie antike und moderne Sichtweisen kombiniert, hebt sie die Tränen als Ausdruck von Reue, Trauer und göttlichem Gericht hervor und deckt ihre theologische und christologische Bedeutung auf.
Exploring the complex interplay of grief, repentance, and divine compassion, Sue Ann Mak examines the narratives of weeping and tears within the Gospel of Luke. Central moments such as Jesus' lament over Jerusalem, Peter's bitter weeping, and the widow of Nain's mourning are analyzed through a reception-historical approach. The author juxtaposes ancient interpretations by figures such as Hippolytus, Ambrose, and Augustine, with modern perspectives, highlighting the evolving understanding of emotional expression in theological contexts. By contrasting Stoic ideals of emotional restraint with the Christian embrace of sorrow's transformative potential, the author underscores the theological significance of grief as a pathway to repentance and spiritual renewal. She bridges the gap between ancient and modern thought, revealing the enduring relevance of these narratives for comprehending the complexities of human emotion and the redemptive power of faith.
