1. Korinther
by Peter Arzt-Grabner, Ruth Elisabeth Kritzer, Amfilochios Papathomas and Franz Winter
How did the average reader in ancient times understand contemporary New Testament authors? Archaeological findings from sites of the Roman Empire, philological findings from Graeco-Roman writings, including early Jewish writings, and socio- and religious-historical findings need to be taken into consideration. For their interpretation of the biblical texts the papyrological commentaries primarily consider texts from everyday life (papyri and ostraka) but also selected literary writings, philosophical, legal and otherwise scholarly texts. We have no single document that could easily be ascribed to one primary reader of the biblical texts but we have got a thousand texts of people in their times and context. Volumes are published in both German and English.
English summary: The Papyrological Commentary on First Corinthians examines how Paul or his readers were influenced by the language of everyday life, private and official, which is preserved most of all in documentary papyri and related material. German description: Der Kommentar bietet eine Vers-fur-Vers-Untersuchung des 1. Korintherbriefes auf dem Hintergrund von Papyri und Ostraka (Tonscherben). Diese Zeugnisse des privaten, amtlichen und religiosen Lebens, wie sie uns auf Fragmenten erhalten sind, ermoglichen einen unmittelbaren Zugang zur Alltagswelt der Griechen und Romer. Erstmals werden auf diesem Hintergrund die Sprache, die Textsorten und die Themen des authentischen Paulusbriefes untersucht. In Exkursen werden dem Leser Informationen zur zeitgeschichtlichen und sozialen Situation sowie zu Einzelthemen wie Ehe und Ehescheidung, Haartracht oder Gotzenopfermahl dargeboten. Durch die Auswertung des papyrologischen Materials gewahren uns die Autoren einen neuen Einblick in die Bedeutung einzelner Begriffe und Wendungen des Paulus.
