| Zusammenfassung: | Rhetorical criticism analyzes interactions between literary and social/cultural dimensions within texts, recognizes their intertextuality, and inquires into their ideology. Recognizing rhetoric as the use of symbols for sharing access to knowledge and coordinating social action, rhetorical criticism of Luke 7:35-50 yields three conclusions. Jesus and the woman come to an assurance of God's forgiveness of her, whereupon Jesus initiates her into the community of God's reign (basileia), where members share benefactions. Simon misunderstands God's reign, which hinders his entry into it, but Jesus' rhetoric leaves it open to him. Luke's primary purpose is to show that through telling and retelling stories of God's work through Jesus, Christians become assured of salvation and show it through loving action. |
