Description
Summary:Jerome’s epistle 21, in which the parable of the merciful father (Lk 15 :11-32) is commented in detail, is part of the correspondence which took place in 383-384 between Pope Damasus and Jerome about the interpretation of certain scriptural passages. This article attempts to reconstruct the historical, social and cultural environment in which the epistle is placed and to highlight the features of Jerome’s interpretation of the Lucan passage, where strictly exegetical motifs are interwoven with polemical cutting remarks and allusions, which are only recognizable thanks to an investigation which considers a variety of reading levels. The analysis is conducted on a double track : on the one hand the starting point is represented by the explanations requested by Pope Damasus, on the other hand attention is paid to the three figures of the parable. These two tracks tend to cross one another repeatedly, thereby enabling a better understanding of the richness of the text.
