Der Kolosserbrief im Kontext des paulinischen Erbes
Eine intertextuelle Studie zur Auslegung und Fortschreibung der Paulustradition
by Nicole Frank
English summary: The Epistle to the Colossians as a Pauline pseudepigraphon provides the earliest example of intertextual modification of authentic Pauline texts through fictitious self-references. By adapting Pauline language, motifs and letter formulas, the author of Colossians not only establishes the fiction of Pauline authorship but also a specific reading of the authentic Pauline letters. By using fictitious self-references to texts such as the baptism formula of Rom 6:4-8, Colossians functions as a kind of reading instructions on how these earlier texts are to be understood correctly, indicating also which interpretations are to be excluded. In aiming to reconstruct and analyze these forms of fictitious self-references and intended reading instructions, Nicole Frank analyzes Colossians in its mutual intertextual relation to the Pauline pretexts. German description: Der Kolosserbrief als altestes paulinisches Pseudepigraphon ist ein biblisches Textzeugnis, das ganz wesenhaft intertextuell strukturiert ist. Zum einen bildet der Ruckgriff auf Inhalte, Sprachlichkeit und Motivik der Protopaulinen die Voraussetzung fur die Verfasserfiktion des Schreibens und damit fur seine Rezeption als authentischer Bestandteil der Paulusuberlieferung. Zum anderen wird jene Paulusuberlieferung zugleich auch einer Re-Interpretation unterworfen: Dadurch, dass der Autor des Briefes in der Form fiktiver Selbstreferenz auf die authentischen Paulusbriefe zuruckgreift, prasentiert sich der Kolosserbrief als Selbstauslegung Pauli, als Interpretationsanweisung zum Verstandnis des paulinischen Erbes.Nicole Frank untersucht die dabei wirksamen intertextuellen Strategien und Mechanismen in ihrer text- und referenztextorientierten Funktion, d.h. unter der doppelten Fragestellung, mit welchen literarischen Mitteln sich der Kolosserbrief als paulinisch prasentiert und welches Verstandnis paulinischer Theologie durch diese fiktive Selbstreferenz Pauli nahegelegt werden soll.
