Edwin Judge's description of early Christian communities as 'scholastic communities' provides the starting point of a search for a sociological description of the Christian communities portrayed in 1 Corinthians, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. An original methodology uses a multi-layered exegetical approach to study every occurrence of the vocabulary of 'teaching' in the letters. The focus is on the activity of teaching (e.g., participants, method, manner, purpose, result, etc). The vocabulary represents ten semantic groupings, which shed further light on the place and practice of education in the communities ( core-teaching, speaking, traditioning, announcing, revealing, worshipping, commanding, correcting, remembering / imitation, and false teaching). Claire S. Smith supports and develops Judge's 1960 description, advancing on it by showing that the communities are better described as 'learning communities' with horizontal (human-human) and vertical (divine-human) dimensions.

Klappentext

Edwin Judge's description of early Christian communities as 'scholastic communities' provides the starting point of a search for a sociological description of the Christian communities portrayed in 1 Corinthians, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. An original methodology uses a multi-layered exegetical approach to study every occurrence of the vocabulary of 'teaching' in the letters. The focus is on the activity of teaching (e.g., participants, method, manner, purpose, result, etc). The vocabulary represents ten semantic groupings, which shed further light on the place and practice of education in the communities ( core-teaching, speaking, traditioning, announcing, revealing, worshipping, commanding, correcting, remembering / imitation, and false teaching). Claire S. Smith supports and develops Judge's 1960 description, advancing on it by showing that the communities are better described as 'learning communities' with horizontal (human-human) and vertical (divine-human) dimensions.



Zusammenfassung
Edwin Judges Beschreibung der frühen christlichen Gemeinden als 'scholastische Gemeinden' bildet den Ausgangspunkt einer Untersuchung der soziologischen Darstellung der christlichen Gemeinden in 1. Korinther, 1. und 2. Timotheus und Titus. Die ursprüngliche Methodik verwendet einen vielschichtigen exegetischen Ansatz, um das Auftreten des Begriffs 'Unterrichten' in den Briefen zu prüfen. Der Fokus liegt auf der Aktivität des Unterrichtens (zum Beispiel den Teilnehmern, der Methode, der Art und Weise, dem Ziel, dem Ergebnis, etc.). Das Vokabular gliedert sich in zehn semantische Gruppierungen, welche den Ort und die Ausübung des Unterrichts in den Gemeinden näher beleuchten ( Unterrichtsgrundlagen, Sprechen, Tradierung, Verlautbarung, Enthüllung, Verehrung, Anweisung, Verbesserung, Erinnerung / Nachahmung und Ketzerei). Claire S. Smith unterstützt und entwickelt Judges Darstellung aus dem Jahr 1960 und führt sie fort, indem sie nachweist, dass die Gemeinden als 'lernende Gemeinden' mit horizontalen (von Mensch zu Mensch) und vertikalen (von Gott zu Mensch) Dimensionen verstanden werden können.
