The reception of Paul in the first century is a highly debated issue. In this collection of essays, Daniel Marguerat defends the position of a threefold reception of Paul in parallel ways: documentary (the canon of Pauline writings), biographical (the book of Acts and the apocryphal Acts of the Apostles) and doctoral (Deutero-Pauline and Pastoral Letters). Marguerat advocates that the value of the phenomena of reception be appreciated, in particular the figure of Paul in Acts. It should not systematically be compared to the apostle's writings, even though this image evolves from a Lukan reinterpretation. It actually gives us an aspect of Paul which forges the background of the epistolary literature, especially concerning his rapport with Judaism. The essays in this book concern the literary and theological construction of the narrative of Acts, focusing on the figure of Paul: his rapport with the Torah, the Socratic model, the Lukan character construction, the resurrection as a central theme in Acts, the significance of meals. In his analysis, Marguerat combines narratology and historical criticism. He is highly attentive to how Christology emerges as narrative Christology. Some of the essays treat classical or less classical themes of Pauline theology: Paul the mystic, the justification by faith, imitating Paul as father and mother of the community, and the affair of the woman's veil in Corinth. Concerning the statute of the Torah, Marguerat debates with the "New Perspective on Paul". He also sheds a fresh light on less known aspects of the apostle: his mystic dimension and the emotional impact in his correspondence to the Thessalonians.

Reading the Acts of the Apostles is still essential to our knowledge of the beginnings of Christianity. The question is how credible Luke's historical account is from today's perspective. Daniel Marguerat's commentary wants to overcome the alternative between historical credibility and narrative fiction. To this end, he innovatively combines historical criticism and narrative analysis. On the one hand, he examines Luke's narrative art in order to grasp his interpretation of the events. The comparison with the Graeco-Roman historians makes it possible to recognize the rules of composition used. On the other hand, Marguerat looks for the possible traditions that Luke used. This methodological approach allows a new perspective on the work of Luke as the "first Christian historian". This commentary was originally written in French and is now available in German for the first time.

L'auteur des Actes est-il un heritier du paulinisme ou a-t-il trahi la theologie de Paul ? Ce livre, issu d'un colloque de recherche a l'Universite de Lausanne, presente une nouvelle approche de cette question classique. Il ne s'agit plus de reperer d'eventuelles citations des lettres pauliniennes, mais de considerer les Actes comme un phenomene de reception de la tradition paulinienne. Parler de reception implique un jeu de continuite et de deplacement face a la theologie de l'apotre; la reception n'est pas repetition, mais actualisation dans un context change. Voila le paradigme qu'appliquent les quinze auteurs de ce livre, en sondant les grands themes des Actes : la mort du Christ, la Loi, la resurrection, le destin d'Israel, le rapport au pouvoir politique, l'autorite de Paul, etc. Auteurs : Andreas Lindemann, Daniel Marguerat, Heike Omerzu, Richard I. Pervo, Stanley E. Porter, Yann Redalie, Jens Schroter, Benedict Viviano, Michael Wolter, Simon Butticaz, Claire Clivaz, Andreas Dettwiler, Jochen Flebbe, Odile Flichy, Jean-Francois Landolt.

Ce livre constitue les Actes du quatrieme colloque international du Reseau de recherche en analyse narrative des textes bibliques (RRENAB). La plupart des contributions abordent la question de la mise en intrigue dans les recits bibliques a partir d'une approche critique des modeles proposes par les theoriciens de la narratologie, a commencer par celui qu'Aristote propose dans sa Poetique. En effet, si ces modeles sont utiles, la pratique de l'exegese narrative montre que, dans la Bible, l'intrigue reste le plus souvent marquee par l'incertain et l'inaccompli : les personnages n'ont pas a s'y soumettre aux desseins immuables d'un dieu, comme dans la tragedie, mais participent a l'elaboration d'un processus dynamique et ouvert en interaction avec le personnage divin le long d'une trame oA' des possibles restent ouverts, avec l'incertitude que cela suppose, mais oA' la liberte des narrateurs en appelle a la liberte des lecteurs.
