This article explores, via three case studies, how spatio‐temporal analysis can advance New Testament text interpretation. Acts 2, verse 9 to 11 is the text of study. Case study 1 applies network analysis to data representing the Roman road network constrained by parameters valid for ancient times. This analysis provided new information on the background of people attending a festival in Jerusalem. Case study 2 located geographical entities from the text in a cartographic visualization and provided supportive information to compare contemporary textual resources. For the disciplines of textual and conjectural criticism (case study 3), spatio‐temporal analysis opens a new window to study what would be the most probable variant of the original text. The case study puts emendations that have been proposed over centuries in a 3D spatial context and provides in this way a sophisticated tool to relate different alternative variants of a specific text. From the case studies, it can be concluded that spatializing, visualizing, and spatially analyzing geographical concepts from the texts in Acts 2 contributes to the field of New Testament interpretation. Further work will elaborate on the findings.

通过时空分析推进新约解释:通过案例研究证明。

本文通过三个案例研究探讨时空分析如何推进新约文本解释。使徒行传 2 章 9 至 11 节是学习的文本。案例研究 1 将网络分析应用于表示受古代有效参数约束的罗马道路网络的数据。这项分析提供了有关参加耶路撒冷节日的人们背景的新信息。案例研究 2 在地图可视化中从文本中定位地理实体,并提供支持信息来比较当代文本资源。对于文本和猜想批评学科(案例研究 3),时空分析打开了一个新的窗口来研究原始文本最可能的变体是什么。该案例研究将几个世纪以来提出的修正置于 3D 空间环境中,并以这种方式提供了一个复杂的工具来关联特定文本的不同替代变体。从案例研究中可以得出结论,使徒行传第二章中的地理概念的空间化、可视化和空间分析有助于新约解释领域。进一步的工作将详细阐述研究结果。
