Three historical interpreters of 2 Thessalonians from different historical periods of the Church serve as the receptive foci in this dissertation: John Chrysostom (early Church), Haimo of Auxerre (Medieval Church), and John Calvin (Reformation). Following Jauss’ Rezpetionsästhetik, these interpreters are placed in their compositional contexts and in dialogue with modern interpreters of the same epistle. By passing through the various dimensions of the letter’s otherness, the research brings to the fore potential present appropriations of meaning.227BS The BibleUniversity of Nottinghamhttp://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.570370http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/12899/Electronic Thesis or Dissertation |
