Abstract:

It is well-established that “honour/shame” culture was pervasive in first-century Roman Palestine. What is less established is the extent to which the honour/shame culture influences readings of the New Testament. This article argues that the lens of honour/shame radically alters the meaning of New Testament texts typically understood as relating to non-violence. A text from the Gospel of Luke is examined to establish that the cultural context and intertextual cues point to honour and dignity as themes of key verses rather than non-violence.

荣誉不是非暴力：从基督教边缘化的第一世纪语境中检索概念

摘要：

众所周知，“荣誉/耻辱”文化在第一世纪的罗马巴勒斯坦很普遍。尚无定论的是名誉/耻辱文化在多大程度上影响了《新约》的阅读。本文认为，荣誉/耻辱的镜头从根本上改变了新约文本的含义，这些文本通常被理解为与非暴力有关。考察了《路加福音》中的一段经文，以确定文化语境和互文线索指出荣誉和尊严是关键经文而不是非暴力的主题。
