Document Details : Title: 'Friends in Heavenly Habitations' (Luke 16:9) Subtitle: Charity, Repentance, and Luke's Resurrection Reversal Author(s): GIAMBRONE, Anthony Journal: Revue Biblique Volume: 120 Issue: 4 Date: 2013 Pages: 529-552 DOI: 10.2143/RBI.120.4.3200353 Abstract : Luke operates within a well-attested tradition linking almsgiving and repentance, but he reconfigures this tradition against a distinct eschatological horizon. Where texts like Tobit allow that 'almsgiving saves from death' (Tobit 4:10; 12:9; cf. Prov 10:2; 11:4), Luke-Acts has radicalized this idea in view of the resurrection. It is from this perspective that Luke’s soteriological tension between 'Umkehr' and 'Ausgleich' comes into proper focus through the charity parables of Luke 16. Luc suit une tradition bien attestée, liant le don d’aumônes à la penitence, tout en la modifiant en function d’un horizon eschatologique. Alors que des textes, comme dans Tobie, permettent que «les aumônes délivrent de la mort» (Tb. 4,10; 12,9; cf. Prov. 10,2; 11:4), Luc-Actes radicalisent cette perspective en vue de la résurrection. C’est de ce point de vue que la tension sotériologique, chez Luc, entre «Umkehr» et «Ausgleich» [«conversion» et «compensation»] se comprend au mieux dans les paraboles sur la charité, Lc 16. |
