Document Details : Title: Paul and Contemporaneous Philosophy Subtitle: Nous as a Test Case Author(s): NÄGELE, Manuel Journal: Revue Biblique Volume: 132 Issue: 4 Date: 2025 Pages: 534-557 DOI: 10.2143/RBI.132.4.3294769 Abstract : The following article discusses the influence of contemporaneous philosophy on Paul. In recent scholarship this is a contentious question. It will be argued in the following, that even in those passages where Paul seems to be in full congruence with the Old Testament view of the human being because of the interchangeability of νοῦς and καρδία, his developed usage of the term νοῦς indicates that the apostle knew the philosophical implications that νοῦς evokes. Paul, like the younger writings of the LXX, seems to be aware of the philosophical ideas the anthropological terms he uses are based on – despite his integration of the terms in his holistic anthropology. L’article traite de l’influence de la philosophie contemporaine sur Paul. Il s’agit d’une question controversée dans la recherche actuelle. Il sera soutenu que même dans les passages où Paul semble être en congruence totale avec la vision vétérotestamentaire de l’homme en raison de l’interchangeabilité des termes νοῦς et καρδία, l’apôtre considère les implications philosophiques du terme νοῦς. Quoique Paul, comme les écrits plus récents de la LXX, semble connaître les idées philosophiques sur lesquelles les termes anthropologiques se basent, il les intègre dans son anthropologie holistique. |
