This learned woman risked her life to resist corruption when her people were subject to foreign rule. Her courage and success make her a fitting model for the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, which has itself suffered under foreign rule. Moreover, she is the first woman Christians interpreted as prefiguring Christ himself in his Passion. This is vividly expressed through the synoptic Gospels. Church Fathers including Ambrose, Maximus of Turin, and Augustine preached on her as foreshadowing the Lord in his arrest in a garden and in his trial by the “Elders of the people”, and therefore she was frequently depicted as a type of Christ in early Christian and medieval art. In Greek this tradition is attested by a single liturgical play, attributed to John of Damascus. In the East, Jephthah’s daughter and the woman in the parable who finds the lost drachma are well documented as types of Christ. It would be fitting if now, in the new millennium, Eastern homilies would treat Susanna also as prefiguring the Lord and exemplifying that women, equally with men, are called to theosis.","PeriodicalId":436449,"journal":{"name":"Analecta of the UCU.

{"title":"Methodological Developments in Biblical Exegesis: Author – Text – Reader","authors":"A. Wieringen","doi":"10.29357/2521-179x.2018.21.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29357/2521-179x.2018.21.1","url":null,"abstract":"The methods used in biblical exegesis follow the developments within literary criticism, although at a certain distance. Every text analysis, both in biblical exegesis and literary criticism, has to deal with the triplet: author – text – reader. This triplet is in itself very obvious; but this is not the case for the chosen focus in this triplet. In this paper, I would like to describe the developments in the exegetical approaches from the view point of the three possible focusses in this triplet, against the background of the developments in literary criticism. After abstracting all sorts of details and various side-developments, I distinguish three phases: a first phase with a focus on the author from the 17th century onward, a second phase, with a focus on the text from the 60’s of the last century onward, and a third phase with a focus on the reader, existing since the last couple of decades. Because biblical exegesis is not just about theoretical approaches towards a text, but also about the concrete analyses of biblical texts, I will use especially Amos 7:10-17, the well-known story about the clash between the priest Amaziah and the prophet Amos, as an example of the three phases of exegetical methods, without giving an exhaustive exegesis, but pointing out some characteristic aspects of the exegesis in these three phases.I will conclude my paper by presenting my communication-oriented exegetical method, in which I integrate all three focusses of the three phases I distinguish.","PeriodicalId":436449,"journal":{"name":"Analecta of the UCU.
