Description
Summary:Luke's composition method in the crucifixion narrative is shown to be strictly logical and highly disciplined: it is organized on the basis of the numbers of (a) verbal forms, (b) words and (c) syllables. As a result, internal proportions can be defined simply and precisely. There is, for instance, balance and symmetry; there is the use of the "golden section", and of the theorem of Pythagoras. Certain phrases stand out in a special way (e.g., Luke 23:25c, 29b-d, 30b,d 44b, 45b), and the same is true of at least two brief passages (Luke 23:28b-31, 39-43). In short, while admiring Luke's literary art, one should also do justice to his superior craftsmanship and his intellectual abilities. La méthode de composition de Luc dans le récit de la crucifixion est strictement logique et fortement disciplinée. Elle est organisée sur la base du nombre de formes verbales, de mots et de syllabes. Du coup, des proportions internes peuvent être définies simplement et précisément. Ainsi, il y a équilibre et symétrie; de même, on note l'usage du nombre d'or, et du théorème de Pythagore. Certaines phrases ressortent d'une manière particulière (Lc 23,25c, 29b-d, 30b,d, 44b, 45b). En résumé, tout en admirant l'art littéraire de Luc, on doit aussi rendre justice à son habileté et à ses capacités intellectuelles.
