Abstract

Drawing on parallels from Jewish, Greco-Roman, and Early Christian sources alongside of sociological models of agriculture in subsistence economies, this essay makes the case for the presence (if not preponderance) of child shepherds among those who receive the angelic message in Luke 2:1–20. By engaging a childist reading that both considers the position of the shepherds with regards to their economic and social standing in Bethlehem and re-reads the angelic message and proclamation of an infant as sign in light of such a youthful audience, this essay reframes the perceived identity of the Bethlehem shepherds to foreground the children in their midst.

给你的记号:向牧童启示的儿童救世主

这篇文章借鉴了犹太、希腊罗马和早期基督教的相似之处，以及自给经济中农业的社会学模型，证明了在路加福音2:1-20中接受天使信息的人中，儿童牧羊人的存在（如果不是占主导地位的话）。通过儿童主义阅读，既考虑了牧羊人在伯利恒的经济和社会地位，又重新阅读了天使般的信息和婴儿的宣言，以此作为年轻观众的标志，本文重新定义了伯利恒牧羊人的感知身份，以展望他们中间的孩子。

期刊介绍： This innovative and highly acclaimed journal publishes articles on various aspects of critical biblical scholarship in a complex global context. The journal provides a medium for the development and exercise of a whole range of current interpretive trajectories, as well as deliberation and appraisal of methodological foci and resources. Alongside individual essays on various subjects submitted by authors, the journal welcomes proposals for special issues that focus on particular emergent themes and analytical trends. Over the past two decades, Biblical Interpretation has provided a professional forum for pushing the disciplinary boundaries of biblical studies: not only in terms of what biblical texts mean, but also what questions to ask of biblical texts, as well as what resources to use in reading biblical literature. The journal has thus the distinction of serving as a site for theoretical reflection and methodological experimentation.
