- ItemHaving the Father and the Son – the Structure, Main Theological Idea and Hermeneutical Principle of the Second Epistle of John(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2023) Wojciechowska, Kalina; Rosik, MariuszThe Second Epistle of John is one of the least commented on New Testament writings, with the vast majority of existing commentaries being linear. The authors of this article attempted to take a structural view of this short book. After discussing the structures of the letter proposed by scholars (part one), they proposed their own structure of the book, thanks to which the main theological idea of the letter (2 John 9) (part two) could be determined, along with a hermeneutical principle allowing for new interpretative insights into the book as a whole (part three). This principle can be put into the words: “having the Father and the Son.”
- ItemIntertextual Strategy of the Narrator of the Second Epistle of Peter in the Catalogue of Virtues (1:5-7)(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2021) Rosik, Mariusz; Wojciechowska, KalinaThe Second Epistle of Peter is one of the least studied texts of the New Testament. It is usually compared with 1 Peter and/or Jude, and indeed shows some similarities and some differences with these texts. But little attention is paid to the originality of 2 Peter, both in its interpretation of texts from the Jewish tradition and in the application of intertextual strategies to elements of Greek philosophy. 2 Pet 1:5-7 is undoubtedly one of the most Hellenized passages of the epistle. Not only did the narrator use a hierarchical catalog of virtues popular in Greek literature, but also terms that are commonly associated with ethics, especially the Stoic ethics (faith – πίστις; virtue – ἀρετή; knowledge – γνῶσις). This article aims to present the manner in which the narrator in 2 Pet 1:5-7 enters into dialogue with Greek ethical texts and how he transforms, innovates, and reinterprets these texts. In other words, what intertextual strategy he uses.
