Document Details : Title: Σκόλοψ τῇ σαρκί in 2 Cor 12,7 Author(s): CALLAN, Terrance Journal: Biblica Volume: 106 Issue: 1 Date: 2025 Pages: 110-123 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.106.1.3294361 Abstract : This essay first surveys the history of interpretation of 2 Cor 12,7; it then discusses the uses of σκόλοψ in Greek literature; and finally it argues on the basis of this usage and exegesis of 2 Cor 12,7 that σκόλοψ in this passage should be understood as meaning 'stake', a means of execution like the σταυρός that was the means of executing Jesus. |
