Document Details : Title: 'Seek His Kingdom' Subtitle: Q 12,22b-31, God’s Providence, and Adamic Wisdom Author(s): JOSEPH, Simon J. Journal: Biblica Volume: 92 Issue: 3 Date: 2011 Pages: 392-410 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.92.3.3188814 Abstract : In Q 12,22b-31, a kingdom-saying functions as the climax to a sapiential collection, but it is not self-evident that this message is sapiential. Q 12,31 uses traditional wisdom structures and forms to advance what appears to be an 'eschatological' message. In this study, I re-examine the nature of the wisdom in Q 12,22b-31 and argue that the theme of God’s providence can be understood in relation to eschatological ideals of the restoration of creation and a 'Son of God'/Adamic christology. |
