As the Bandit Will I Confess You: Luke 23.39-43 in Early Christian Interpretation (Cahiers de Biblia Patristica)

The story of the so-called >as found in Lc 23, 39-43 has a vibrant and diverse afterlife in early Christianity. Synoptic and eschatological disparities raise concerns and provoke a variety of harmonizations. Controversies notwithstanding, early interpreters occupy themselves most of all with the episode's potential for exhortation as they identify themselves and their hearers with the good bandit. He becomes a model of Christian practices, beliefs and virtues including worship, faith (even Nicea's formulation), justification by faith, conversion, catechesis, confession, martyrdom, baptism (in many modes), endurance, asceticism, simplicity of language, penitence, and last-minute salvation. A wide variety of typological readings fashion the bandit as the first to return to paradise and even a key participant in the pivotal moment of salvation-history. By around the late 4th century, the episode becomes a standard Good Friday lectionary reading and sermon topic in the East.… (more)

Gegenstand der Untersuchung ist eine Erzählung, die sich nur im dritten Evangelium findet: Während bei Markus und Matthäus beide „Räuber“ an der Seite des gekreuzigten Jesus diesen ebenfalls verspotten, nimmt bei Lukas der eine „Verbrecher“ Jesus in Schutz, erklärt seine Unschuld und bittet ihn, seiner zu gedenken, wenn er in sein Reich kommt, was Jesus mit der Verheißung beantwortet: „Amen, ich sage dir, heute wirst du mit mir im Paradies sein“.

Dieser Text wird im ersten Teil zunächst als Ausdruck der spezifischen lukanischen Theologie gedeutet, wobei allerdings nicht alles in gleicher Weise einleuchtet. So geht der Autor zu eindimensional von einem „Roman-sympathizing sentiment of Luke-Acts“ aus, dass er auch ohne Beachtung anderer lukanischer Texte für die Erwähnung des Paradieses verantwortlich macht, durch das die potentiell aufrührerische frühchristlich-apokalyptische Eschatologie ersetzt werden solle. Auch manche literarkritische Voraussetzung – etwa dass das vom Ende des 2. Jahrhunderts stammende Petrusevangelium eine ältere mündliche Vorstufe zu der behandelten Perikope biete – ist fraglich. Aber darauf soll jetzt nicht näher eingegangen werden: Der Schwerpunkt der Monographie liegt in dem, was der Untertitel andeutet: in der sorgfältig recherchierten und ausgelegten Rezeptionsgeschichte dieser Perikope in der alten Kirche (bis ca. 450 n.Chr.).
