Die heiligen Propheten, eure Apostel und ich
Metatextuelle Studien zum zweiten Petrusbrief
by Martin G. Ruf
English summary: Of all New Testament writings, the Second Letter of Peter bears the most explicit witness to the varied literary activity of Early Christianity and most expressly reflects on its use of Scripture as prophecy. The present work applies itself to this metatextual character of the Second Letter of Peter in a comprehensive study on the whole of its text comprising direct metatextual remarks as well as implicit statements on other writings. The main question is: Which place does the Second Letter of Peter attribute to the writings of his textual world and where does he locate himself within this world? As a result, it will appear that on the one hand, Second Peter sees himself as a piece of auxiliary literature hinting at and explaining how to read the authoritative writings, while on the other hand he strives to be ranged among them. German description: Die Zeit, in der Exegeten uber das angeblich unbeholfene, literaturferne Griechisch des zweiten Petrusbriefes die Nase rumpften, ist vorbei. Die jungere Forschung hat dessen Orientierung an literarischen Vorbildern offen gelegt. Eine besondere Gruppe innerhalb des textuellen Universums des zweiten Petrusbriefes stellen dabei die fur ihn autoritativen judischen und fruhchristlichen Schriften dar, auf die er in unterschiedlicher Weise Bezug nimmt. Eine Untersuchung auf der Basis der intertextualitatstheoretischen Erkenntnis, dass Anspielungen, Zitate und andere Formen der Kontaktaufnahme zwischen Texten von der Selbsteinschatzung des verweisenden Textes zeugen, fuhrt zu der Erkenntnis, dass der zweite Petrusbrief seine eigene Position bestimmt zwischen der Funktion von Auxiliarliteratur, die auf die autoritativen Schriften verweist, und dem Anspruch auf Eingliederung in diese Schriftengruppe.
