Summary:Bis es erfüllt wird. Die Eschatologie des Lukas in Lukas 22 und in der Apostelgeschichte 20. Von Anders Eyvind Nielsen.
Anders E. Nielsen stellt die Eschatologie des Lukas mit Hilfe der rhetorischen Exegese und eines sprachwissenschaftlichen Ansatzes dar. Er untersucht die Eschatologie des Lukas und stellt dabei die Abschiedsreden in Lukas 22 und in der Apostelgeschichte 20 in den Mittelpunkt seiner Untersuchung. Außerdem befaßt er sich mit der semantischen Funktion der eschatologischen Ausdrücke entsprechend ihrer literarischen und theologischen Zusammenhänge in Lukas und in der Apostelgeschichte und zeigt, daß diese Redensarten eher eine normative als eine informative Bedeutung haben.
Anders E. Nielsen presents Lukan eschatology through rhetorical exegesis with a linguistic approach. He thus contributes to a more nuanced discussion of eschatological thematics in New Testament theology.
Anders E. Nielsen presents a fresh look on New Testament eschatology by analysing the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. He first of all considers whether ancient literary expressions of farewell motif may or may not lead to an outlook of some sort of transcendental nature, which could play an active role in the composition of the text as read text. He concludes that in a fairly representative number of non-biblical as well as biblical farewell-addresses we do find transcendental outlooks with eschatological implications. Furthermore, these particular outlooks seem to be at work in close relation to the approaching death of the intended speaker of the addresses. Against this background the two major farewell addresses, the one of Jesus in Luke 22 and the one of Paul in Acts 20, are at great length analysed by means of a rhetorical and text-linguistic approach.Anders E. Nielsen divides his exegetical-theological findings into three main-points. First of all the traditional hypothesis of an imminent expectation of the parousia is seen as problematic, because the eschatology in Luke seems to be less a matter of chronology and more a question of quality. Secondly, some of the sayings in a hellenistic work like Luke-Acts may sometimes be free to express a vertical-transcendent aspect with individual-eschatological associations, while other phases are sufficiently vague to call up in the audience both individual and/or collective-eschatological connotations. Thirdly, all this put together suggests that Lukes religious language does in fact not play down eschatology. On the contrary, Anders E. Nielsen suggests that one can speak of some sort of applied eschatology in the sense that all the relevant expressions in the compositions examined suggest a far more parenetic or prescriptive semantic function than an informative one.
