In diesem Buch untersucht Jacob A. Rodriguez welche Evangelien in der frühchristlichen Lektürepraxis tendenziell miteinander verbunden waren. Anhand einer Vielzahl von Primärquellen identifiziert der Autor einen Schwerpunkt in der christlichen Evangelienlektüre des zweiten Jahrhunderts, welcher aus den Synoptikern und Johannes besteht.InhaltsübersichtChapter 1: The Gospel according to Thomas: Combining Gospels through Interpretive RewritingChapter 2: The Epistula Apostolorum: Combining Gospels through Interpretive RewritingChapter 3: Orchestrating the Gospel: Tatian's Diatessaron as a Gospel CombinationChapter 4: Second-Order Discourse on Gospel Authors and Their Texts, Part 1: GMark to Justin MartyrChapter 5: Second-Order Discourse on Gospel Authors and Their Texts, Part 2: Irenaeus, Clement, Heretics, and CelsusChapter 6: Gospel Combinations in Early Christian Artifacts: Gregory Aland 0171 and P4+P64+67Chapter 7: Gospel Combinations in Early Christian Artifacts: P45 and P75 In this study, Jacob A. Rodriguez investigates which gospels tended to keep company with one another in early Christian reading practices. By engaging the dynamics of gospel combinations in the Gospel of Thomas, the Epistula Apostolorum, the Diatessaron, second-century Christian authors ranging from Papias to Clement of Alexandria, and early gospel manuscripts, Rodriguez identifies a center of gravity in early Christian gospel reading consisting of the Synoptics and John. While second-century Christians do not use the terms »canonical” or »noncanonical,” the gospels we now know as canonical captivated their literary imagination in a manner unparalleled by any other Jesus books. The author offers a rigorous philological, literary-critical, text-critical, artifactual, and theological reconstruction of early Christian gospel-reading culture.Survey of contentsChapter 1: The Gospel according to Thomas: Combining Gospels through Interpretive RewritingChapter 2: The Epistula Apostolorum: Combining Gospels through Interpretive RewritingChapter 3: Orchestrating the Gospel: Tatian's Diatessaron as a Gospel CombinationChapter 4: Second-Order Discourse on Gospel Authors and Their Texts, Part 1: GMark to Justin MartyrChapter 5: Second-Order Discourse on Gospel Authors and Their Texts, Part 2: Irenaeus, Clement, Heretics, and CelsusChapter 6: Gospel Combinations in Early Christian Artifacts: Gregory Aland 0171 and P4+P64+67Chapter 7: Gospel Combinations in Early Christian Artifacts: P45 and P75
