Banished from the City
The Exilic Ecclesiology of Luke-Acts
Seiten
Im vorliegenden Band untersucht Mark Jeong Szenen der neutestamentlichen Apostelgeschichte, in denen Christusgläubige aus ihren Städten verbannt oder vertrieben werden. Dabei wird deutlich, dass der Autor des lukanischen Doppelwerks die Kirche als Gemeinschaft politischer Exilanten darstellt, deren exilische Existenz Teil der Jesus-Nachfolge ist.
Mark Jeong examines those scenes in Acts where members of the church are banished, exiled, or displaced from the city. He argues that Luke-Acts presents the church as a community of political exiles who have been exiled or banished from the cities of the Roman Empire. This narrative displacement prompts a response or solution that in Luke-Acts is found in the community itself. Unlike other early Christian texts, which spoke of the church in exile from heaven or awaiting a city to come, Luke-Acts portrays the church itself as this "new city" that becomes a refuge for the displaced believers. Furthermore, exile or homelessness in Luke-Acts is not a problem requiring an otherworldly solution, but a part of the new way of life engendered by the proclamation of the Gospel; it is a core part of following the way of Jesus, who himself is exiled from Nazareth in the Gospel of Luke.
