Abstract

This article investigates the legend about the persecution and martyrdom of Daniel and his three companions at the hand of a wicked Persian king. This story is found in Eastern Orthodox liturgical, hagiographical, and homiletical texts and is based on extracanonical traditions similar to those of the “rewritten Bible” in the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha. The article investigates how the canonical story about Daniel and the Three Youths developed into this account of their martyrdom for Christ. The origins, liturgical function, and textual history of this legend are discussed, as well as its structure and tradition-history. My analysis demonstrates that this legend combines a martyrological account (similar to other stories about Jewish martyrs, for example, Daniel 3, 6; 2 Macc 7) with a reinterpretation of stories about biblical heroes. The legend also includes a resurrection story based on an unexpected exegesis of Matt 27:52–53 and 1 Cor 15:6.

但以理和三个年轻人的殉难

这篇文章调查了关于但以理和他的三个同伴被一个邪恶的波斯国王迫害和殉难的传说。这个故事可以在东正教的礼拜仪式、圣徒传记和布道文本中找到，它基于类似于旧约伪典中“重写的圣经”的典外传统。这篇文章调查了关于但以理和三个年轻人的经典故事是如何发展成他们为基督殉道的。本文讨论了这一传说的起源、仪式功能和文本历史，以及它的结构和传统历史。我的分析表明，这个传说结合了殉道者的叙述(类似于其他关于犹太殉道者的故事，例如，但以理书3,6;《马可福音2》第7章)重新诠释了圣经中的英雄故事。这个传说还包括一个复活的故事，基于对马太福音27:52-53和哥林多前书15:6的意外注释。

期刊介绍： The last twenty years have witnessed some remarkable achievements in the study of early Jewish literature. Given the ever-increasing number and availability of primary sources for these writings, specialists have been producing text-critical, historical, social scientific, and theological studies which, in turn, have fuelled a growing interest among scholars, students, religious leaders, and the wider public. The only English journal of its kind, Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha was founded in 1987 to provide a much-needed forum for scholars to discuss and review most recent developments in this burgeoning field in the academy.
