Document Details : Title: Jn 3,3.7: Γεννηθῆναι ἄνωθεν (IV) Subtitle: L'adverbe ἄνωθεν dans l'aire dialectale du quatrième évangile Author(s): BOUCHER, Pierre-Marin Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 88 Issue: 1 Date: 2012 Pages: 71-93 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.88.1.2164170 Abstract : In order to answer the question of the validity of resorting to the double meaning of the adverb ἄνωθεν to comment on Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus (John 3,1-21: to be born desuper, 'from above', or denuo, 'again'), this article analyses the meanings of the term in semitized Koine Greek (LXX, NT, Justin Martyr), takes a look at the instances of the Greek adverb in the Fourth Gospel, and concludes that desuper, 'from above', is the only one meaning consonant with John’s idiolect. |
