Testament texts and writings as a literary-historical phenomenon3 ie as a process of a thematical and formal adaptation and transformation of certain types of ancient historiographical literary possibilities Th e comparative criterion consists of stories which tell a story ie historiographical texts in the narrower and broader senses of this term4 Th e New Testament period is understood as the space of time in which those early Christian texts and writings came into being which were later collected in the canon of the so-called New Testament ie the fi rst century and the fi rst third of the second century of the Common Era

In the fi rst section of this essay (1) I shall describe the literary-historical presuppositions of the composition of historiographical lit-erature in this period Th ese are determined by the Hellenistic period culture and literature5 In the second section (2) I present signifi cant literary-historical developments and literary representatives of the his-toriographical literature in the so-called early Imperial period (ca 30 BCEndashca 120 CE) in the Greek-Hellenistic Roman and early Jewish spheres In the third section (3) I shall discuss where early Christian texts especially the gospel literature belong in the framework of the literary history of Hellenistic historiography

1 Th emes Types and Forms of Hellenistic Historiography

11 Basic Questions

Historiographical literature in the Hellenistic age6 produces a variety of themes types and forms On the one hand these display culturally specifi c features in the Greek Roman and early Jewish spheres eg the literary elaboration of the period of Alexander and his successor

3 K Backhaus and G Haumlfner Historiographie und fi ktionales Erzaumlhlen Zur Kon-struktivitaumlt in Geschichtstheorie und Exegese BTh St 86 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirch-ener Verlag 2007) choose a philological rather than a literary-historical approach

4 On the defi nition of historiographical texts see below5 For an introduction to the history of research into historiography cf Flach

follows the classic defi nitions in the study of the classical period since J G Droysen Cf eg D Timpe ldquoHellenismus Irdquo RGG 4th ed 3 (2000) 1609ndash1610 Cf most recently also B Meiszligner Hellenismus (Darmstadt Wissenschaft liche Buchgesellschaft 2007)

kings in Greek historiography7 the culture of remembrance of the early Roman historians infl uenced by annals (eg Q Fabius Pictor)8 and the narrative-legendary elaboration of biblical-historical narrative material in Jewish Hellenistic historiography (eg Eupolemus Artapa-nus)9 On the other hand there is a linguistic and literary cultural transfer and cultural exchange precisely in Hellenism and this can be seen both in the shaping of individual themes and forms and in the creation of mixed forms Th e defi nition of the so-called Hellenistic age usually envisages a space of time which is defi ned by political events (ca 330ndash30 BCE)10 Th e following presentation aims to describe the cultural intellectual and literary panorama in which the Greek Roman and Early Jewish historiographers were working until the beginning of the Imperial period (from ca 30 BCE)

Th e early Hellenistic period is marked by the hegemony of the Hellenes in the eastern Mediterranean region and neighboring lands in the aft ermath of Alexander the Great and by a considerable growth in literary production in the Greek language At the end of the fourth and beginning of the third centuries a social-historical transformation occurs in Greek historiography which is also signifi cant for the history of culture and literature it is now that the fi gure of the so-called court historian emerges11 Th is transformation is the beginning of a close link between politics and historiography Historiography had always been employed as a political instrument but this new link now also generated a number of literary forms and genres

7 Cf eg Lendle Einfuumlhrung 180ndash181 8 Cf Mehl Geschichtsschreibung 42ndash44 9 Cf Holladay Fragments10 On this cf J Bleicken Verfassungs- und Sozialgeschichte des Roumlmischen

Kaiserreiches 2 vols UTB 838839 (Paderborn Schoumlningh 4th ed 1995 in 3rd ed 1994) who dates the beginning of the Roman Imperial period to 3127 BCE (19)

11 ldquoIn the city state of the classical epoch of Greece the historians were prosperous citizens members of the leading classes of the Greek poleis At the end of the classical epoch when monarchies came into existence in the Greek worldmdashand with the mon-archies courtsmdashand with the courtsrdquo a new ruling society ldquothe fi gure of the historian who lived at court and was at the service of a ruler also came into existencerdquo B Meiszlig-ner Historiker zwischen Polis und Koumlnigshof Studien zur Stellung der Geschichtsschrei-ber in der griechischen Gesellschaft in spaumltklassischer und fruumlhhellenistischer Zeit Hyp 99 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1992) 4ndash5

Th e themes of Hellenistic historiography in its Greek and later Roman forms lie initially in the fi eld of Persian Macedonian and Greek history subsequently they concentrate on the protagonists of this history ie Alexander the Great and his successor kings Th is means that Hellenistic historiography increasingly takes on biograph-ical or person-centered traits which we also fi nd in Jewish Hellenistic historiography (eg the Moses fragment in Artapanus)12 At the same time a large number of historiographical methods and presentations developed in Hellenism of these only ldquotiny splinters have come down to usrdquo13 Accordingly every presentation of the literary history of the classical age is conditioned in advance by presuppositions which belong to textual history ie by the transmission of the texts and writ-ings available to us14

12 Demarcations Antiquarian Forms or Literature and Historiography Orientated to Tradition15

We must draw a distinction between the so-called antiquarian litera-ture of the classical period and historiography in the broader and narrower senses Th e term antiquarian literature has been applied since the Renaissance (with an allusion to Varrorsquos ldquoAntiquitiesrdquo) to all those historical forms which do not correspond ldquoto the Herodotean-Th ucydidean concept of the historiography which is based on the study of politics and warrdquo16 It is in this way that antiquarian historical literature has been distinguished from historiography at least from the beginning of the modern period onwards Th is demarcation vis-agrave-vis antiquarian literature shows us one essential characteristic of historio-graphical literature the latter is not limited to the mere collection of

historical information but aims to present this in such a way that it is both systematized and interpreted Th is applies already to the begin-nings of Greek and Roman historiography and to the Christian his-tory of the church Greek historiography is essentially a child of epic forms (myths) and of geographical forms (descriptions of the earth and travel narratives)17 Roman historiography has its precursors in the annales maximi and the so-called fasti18 and ecclesiastical historiogra-phy has its starting point in the chronographical form of the lists of bishops19 Th is means that history by defi nition involves the systemati-zation and interpretation of historical events and information

13 Th e Defi nition of ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in the Broader and Narrower Senses

Against this background how can we defi ne the genre of historio-graphical literature Let us fi rst mention two traits which are signifi -cant for the defi nition of the theme or contents and the literary form of historiography Th ematically speaking historiography is engaged in the narrative of historically relevant facts and events From a literary-formal aspect historiographical literature employs the form of prose from Herodotus onwards20 Th e presentation of history in the form of lists myths epics or poetry can at best be called precursor forms of historiography these do not genuinely belong to the macro-genre of ldquohistoriographyrdquo

A second diff erentiation is necessary at this point Th e macro-genre of historiographymdashie historiography in the broader sensemdashencom-passes a variety of individual forms and genres including historiogra-phy in the narrower sense How can we defi ne historiography in the broader sense and historiography in the narrower sense Where does the line of demarcation run One possible diff erentiating defi nition affi rms that historiography in the broader sense includes those prose texts which are concerned in various individual genres and forms with the presentation of historical themes and events (eg as biography autobiography monograph ethnography) while historiography in the narrower sense (following Hubert Cancik) designates an ldquoespecially highly developed form of historiographyrdquo21 which must be distin-guished specifi cally from biographical and autobiographical forms etc22

14 Defi ning the Distinctions between Historiography Biography and Autobiography

We shall now look in greater detail at the diff erentiation between his-toriography in the narrower sense and biography23 We must fi rst of all locate the phenomenon of biographical literature in the context of his-tory in general and specifi cally of cultural history since the growing importance of biographical literature has historical and political rea-sons ldquoWith the decline of the city states and the rise of the monar-chies the reign of a ruler became the natural unit of time of political history historiography became increasingly biographicalrdquo24 It is thus scarcely possible to use the self-understanding of the authors as a cri-terion for distinguishing between historiographical and biographical literature For example those who told the story of Alexander cer-tainly understood themselves as historians since the object of their work was the personality and the activity of Alexander as a theme

eg in D Dormeyer review of E-M Becker Das Markus-Evangelium im Rahmen antiker Historiographie BZ 52 (2008) 132ndash135

belonging to the history of events and to history in general (eg Cleit-archus of Alexandria FGrHist 137)25

At the same time however steps were taken already in antiquity to distinguish between historiography and biography26 For example Polybius calls the bios as ἐγκωμιαστικός (cf 25611 10218) His intention is αὔξησις whereas history seeks the truth Plutarch (Alex 1 and frequently) explicitly wishes to write ldquohistoryrdquo in the form of βίος since his intention is to portray the character of the human person (τὰ τῆς ψυχῆς σημεῖα) ie ἀρετή and κακία Even in the so-called apodictic historiography which makes use of the bio-graphical excursus the distinction between historiography and biog-raphy is preserved27 In Roman literature too the distinction between historiographical writings in the narrower sense and biographical writ-ings (which included the literature of the exitus illustrium virorum) was maintained at least until the third or fourth century (cf eg Pliny Ep 8124 553)28

Finally autobiographical forms (hupomnecircmata and commentarii) are related to biographical literature29 Aratus of Sicyon (ca 271ndash213 BCE) is known as one of the earliest authors of hupomnecircmata in the

Hellenistic period (cf FGrHist 231)30 Autobiographical forms received a tremendous impetus in the sphere of Roman literature above all in the transition from the Roman Republic to the principate thanks to the prominent works by Julius Caesar (Commentarii)31 and Augustus (res gestaeMonumentum Ancyranum)32 From the Hellenistic period onwards experts in rhetoric ldquostudied the form of the older historio-graphy in order to determine the canon and to distinguish be-tween history biography and antiquarian studiesrdquo33

15 Types and Modes of Hellenistic Historiography

Hellenistic historiography displays a variety of literary types and modes which allow us to see something of the intellectual world and the rhetorical-literary schooling of the historiographers We shall therefore give a brief description of some of these eg the rhetorical-rhetoricizing the mimetic the apodictic and the pragmatic historiography

In the rhetorical historiography the historical discourse takes the form of narration and argumentation and the tradition possesses authority Th e aim of historiography is to facilitate correct evaluations and decisions in the contemporary confl icts In the fi rst century BCE Roman historiography is infl uenced by the Hellenistic-Peripatetic rhe-torical historiography in the way in which it copes with the contem-porary political crises An important factor in the increase in the rhetorical tendencies of Roman historiography was the rhetoricization of historical narration which was demanded especially by Cicero (Orat 254ndash56)34

30 To a large extent his writings can be regarded as unfalsifi ed and devoid of liter-ary artifi ce although they have a subjective coloring Cf Lendle Einfuumlhrung 192ndash194

In his debate with the so-called mimetic historiography of a Duris of Samos (born 330 BCE)35 and the related pathetic historiography (eg Phylarchus)36 as well as with the apodictic historiography of a Hieronymus of Cardia (thirdsecond century)37 Polybius propagates a presentation which concentrates on the relevant historical questions He attacks rhetorical and dramatizing elements in historiography and coins the concept of pragmatic historiography Its methodological approach (the examination of written sources ldquoautopsyrdquo political action cf 1225e1) is already found in Herodotus and Th ucydides38 Unlike tragedy history is interested in ldquotruth and usefulness to the readerrdquo39 Th rough this apodictic interest Polybius establishes a demar-cation line vis-agrave-vis the pathetic historiography of Phylarchus (cf 25611ndash12) Historiography has practical and moral goals (112)40 Polybius sees its purpose as ldquocontributing to the ability to actrdquo in the political and military spheres (3593ndash5 1281 16143ndash10 etc)41 In general therefore we fi nd a basic moralizing and pragmatizing trait in the various types of Hellenistic historiography

16 Refl ections in Classical Antiquity on the Th eory and Methodof Historiography

Scattered ldquomethodological observationsrdquo are found in the works of the ancient historians42 especially when they discuss the exordium43 For example Livy speaks critically of the relationship between historiogra-phy and poetry44 A number of theoretical discussions of the essence signifi cance and function of historiography had a decisive infl uence on the form of historiographical works In his conception of literary composition Aristotle defi nes history as a chance narrative of events (Poet 91451b) Since poetry communicates what could happen accord-ing to the rules of probability and necessity (καὶ τὰ δυνατὰ κατὰ τὸ εἰκὸς ἢ τὸ ἀναγκαῖον) it is ldquomore philosophicalrdquo and more signifi cant than historiography (διὸ καὶ φιλοσοφώτερον καὶ σπουδαιότερον ποίησις ἱστορίας ἐστίν 1451a and b) Historiography inquires into what is specifi c whereas poetry inquires into what is general (καθόλου)

Cicerorsquos discussion refl ects the historiographical theories of the late Roman Republic He understands history as magistra vitae vita memo-riae and lux veritatis (Orat 236) and as munus oratoris maximum (Orat 262)45 Contrary to the Roman tradition of the annales maximi which was meant only to preserve the memory of places times human persons and deeds Cicero favors a rhetorically shaped form of histo-riography which is comparable to the Greek tradition (Orat 251ndash53 Leg 16ndash8) In the Flavian period which brings a ldquoclassicistic reac-tionrdquo46 Quintilian gives us glimpses of the historiographical theories of the Imperial period (Orat Inst 10131)47 He posits a close relation-

Refl ection on history in the sense of the elaboration of a technical ars historica is found only in Lucian51 who composed the only ldquosys-tematic monograph on historiographyrdquo52 that has survived from the classical period He addresses his methodological linguistic and sub-stantial demands to the historianmdashdemands that are directed against the customary historiography of contemporary imperial military cam-paigns which were nothing other than exaggerated panegyrics Lucian defi nes the distinction between poetry and history by saying that a poet is driven by a deity and by the Muses and is therefore permitted to relate incredible things (Hc 8) Th e following aspects must also be borne in mind when one writes historical works the historian is wri-ting for the instruction of posterity (Hc 40f) and this means that the purpose of history is to be of service by presenting the truth (Hc 8) Th e historianrsquos task is to present factual matters (Hc 38ndash39) A good historian needs political acumen and skill in presentation (Hc 34) Th e facts must be well chosen and critically evaluated they should be based primarily on things one has personally witnessed or on the

testimony of credible witnesses (Hc 47) Th e historian must begin by drawing up an outline of his presentation which he then fi lls in with details (Hc 48) Th e style should be generally comprehensible and simple (Hc 43ndash45) Th e course of the narrative should be related briefl y and precisely (Hc 50 56ndash57) An historical work needs no preface a short summary of its contents is suffi cient (Hc 52) In these refl ections Lucian gives an interesting insight into the ancient theory about the production and reception of historiography and into the evaluation of the literary genre of ldquohistoryrdquo in classical antiquity

17 Th emes and Forms of Early Jewish Historiography

Jewish Hellenistic historiography53 aims both at assimilation and at the preservation of the identity of the historiographical themes and forms of an Old Testament and Jewish character in the context of the mixed Hellenistic cultures Early Jewish historiography thus lives in the ten-sion between assimilation and the preservation of identity54 Th e dias-pora Jews who had largely lost their knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic established a historiography in Greek Jewish Hellenistic his-toriography displays not only linguistic but also formal infl uence on the part of Greek historiography For example 1 Maccabees contains some elements such as the ethnographical chapter about Rome which are related to Greek historiography Th is book is based on various written sources including letters and documents which the author may have consulted in an archive in Jerusalem His presentation also relies on legendary and oral traditions55 2 Maccabees ldquoresembles much more strongly the popular Greek historiography with its pronounced love of miracles and remarkable eventsrdquo56 2 Maccabees ldquoas a work of

the pathetic and rhetorical historiography which aimed at great dra-matic eff ects and was dominant in Hellenismrdquo conforms completely to ldquocontemporary Greek historiography Indeed 2 Maccabees is the only work of this genre which has survived in its entiretyrdquo57 Th e his-toriographer Flavius Josephus writing in the early Imperial period follows even more directly the forms and elements of Greek historiography

Despite linguistic and cultural processes of adaptation ie the use of the Greek language and the consequences this had for early Jewish literature and historiography58 the literary products of Jewish Hellenistic historiography nevertheless largely preserve their own spe-cifi c character Religious aspects play a central role here59 as does the fact that there was little interest in individual historical themes and in history in general in Israel and especially in Diaspora Judaism in the second century BCE with the exception of the Maccabean confl icts60 Instead of writing a continuous history of contemporary events bibli-cal traditions are elaborated into contemporary narratives61 (cf

Artapanus)62 Th is is why it is diffi cult to defi ne the specifi c genre of the early Jewish historiographical writings and thus to demarcate them vis-agrave-vis the rest of early Jewish literature63 Historical themes are given an arbitrary literary form in other areas of early Jewish literature which are not counted among the ldquohistorical writingsrdquo in the broader sense (prophecy apocalyptic sapiential literature) Th ese historical themes can be understood only against the background of the prophetic-apocalyptic coding (eg Dan 12) or of sapiential instruction (Sirach)64 and are thus accessible only to specifi c groups

Among the surviving Jewish Hellenistic historical works we must distinguish between (a) those that have survived intact (1 Esdras 1ndash3 Maccabees) and were included in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate canon and (b) the mostly brief fragments of historical works which survive only in compilations by later writers Eusebius (especially in Praeparatio evangelica 9) Clement of Alexandria and Josephus were not the fi rst to transmit fragments of the Jewish Hellenistic historiog-raphers this had been done earlier by the Hellenistic historiographer L Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor (born 105 BCE) in his work On the Jews65 Th e fragments refer to writers who are orthonymous but about whom scarcely any historical information survives references to anonymous authors (Ps-Eupolemus) or pseudepigraphical writers (Ps-Hecataeus) are less frequent Nevertheless there is a tendency in

2 Tendencies and Representatives of the Historiography of the Early Imperial Period

21 Basic Questions

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

Roman historiography became more important than Greek histori-ography from the fi rst century BCE onwards In the Augustan period the literature related to the Imperium Romanummdashespecially poetry but also historiographymdashwas produced in an affi rmative or critical

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

76 ldquoTh e normative view of the exemplary knowledge of tradition indeed of a value untouched by change (auctoritas) gave the historians (Livy Sallust Tacitus) the free-dom to combine and make a stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation in order to write persuasively forms drawn from oratory literature and dialectics such as narrative description argumentation dramatization fi ctitious speech the narrative of events commentaries aphorismsrdquo Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

109 Cf Landfester Geschichte 201 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 242ndash244110 Cf Landfester Geschichte 215ndash216 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 239ndash241111 Cf Landfester Geschichte 424ndash425 Gall Literatur 151ndash153112 Cf Landfester Geschichte 213113 For an exemplary study of the question of the social status of Josephus cf G W

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

116 Cf table (3) On this cf also P W van der Horst ldquoPhilorsquos In Flaccum and the Book of Actsrdquo in idem Jews and Christians in Th eir Graeco-Roman Context Selected Essays on Early Judaism Samaritanism Hellenism and Christianity WUNT 196 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2006) 98ndash107 and in general cf also Schuumlrer History 859ndash864

1810 eve-marie becker

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

117 Cf G E Lessing ldquoTh eses aus der Kirchengeschichterdquo in idem Werke und Briefe in zwoumllf Baumlnden 8 Werke 1774ndash1778 ed A Schilson (Frankfurt Deutscher Klassiker Verlag 1989) 619ndash627 idem Neue Hypothese uumlber die Evangelisten als bloszlig mensch-liche Geschichtsschreiber betrachtet Wolfenbuumlttel 1778 in Werke und Briefe 8629ndash654

120 Cf D Dormeyer and H Frankemoumllle ldquoEvangelium als literarische Gattung und als theologischer Begriff Tendenzen und Aufgaben der Evangelienforschung im 20 Jahrhundert mit einer Untersuchung des Markusevangeliums in seinem Verhaumlltnis zur antiken Biographierdquo ANRW II 252 (1984) 1543ndash1704 Dormeyer Markusevan-gelium 1666ndash1668

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

129 Cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 362ndash364130 Cf eg M Dibelius ldquoDie Reden der Apostelgeschichte und die antike Geschichts-

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

142 On this overview cf Becker ldquoAutobiographischesrdquo 82ndash83143 Cf G Minois Geschichte der Zukunft Orakel Prophezeiungen Utopien Progno-

sen (Duumlsseldorf and Zurich Artemis and Winkler 1998)144 On this cf P Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-

kryphen 2 491ndash515 esp at 495ndash497145 Cf Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 525ndash527 On the special question of

the historicaltemporal dimensions of the Apocalypse of John cf D E Aune Revela-tion 1ndash5 WBC 52A (Dallas Word Books 1997) lxxxivndashlxxxv

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

150 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Buch des Th omasrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 192ndash198

Testament texts and writings as a literary-historical phenomenon3 ie as a process of a thematical and formal adaptation and transformation of certain types of ancient historiographical literary possibilities Th e comparative criterion consists of stories which tell a story ie historiographical texts in the narrower and broader senses of this term4 Th e New Testament period is understood as the space of time in which those early Christian texts and writings came into being which were later collected in the canon of the so-called New Testament ie the fi rst century and the fi rst third of the second century of the Common Era

In the fi rst section of this essay (1) I shall describe the literary-historical presuppositions of the composition of historiographical lit-erature in this period Th ese are determined by the Hellenistic period culture and literature5 In the second section (2) I present signifi cant literary-historical developments and literary representatives of the his-toriographical literature in the so-called early Imperial period (ca 30 BCEndashca 120 CE) in the Greek-Hellenistic Roman and early Jewish spheres In the third section (3) I shall discuss where early Christian texts especially the gospel literature belong in the framework of the literary history of Hellenistic historiography

1 Th emes Types and Forms of Hellenistic Historiography

Historiographical literature in the Hellenistic age6 produces a variety of themes types and forms On the one hand these display culturally specifi c features in the Greek Roman and early Jewish spheres eg the literary elaboration of the period of Alexander and his successor

kings in Greek historiography7 the culture of remembrance of the early Roman historians infl uenced by annals (eg Q Fabius Pictor)8 and the narrative-legendary elaboration of biblical-historical narrative material in Jewish Hellenistic historiography (eg Eupolemus Artapa-nus)9 On the other hand there is a linguistic and literary cultural transfer and cultural exchange precisely in Hellenism and this can be seen both in the shaping of individual themes and forms and in the creation of mixed forms Th e defi nition of the so-called Hellenistic age usually envisages a space of time which is defi ned by political events (ca 330ndash30 BCE)10 Th e following presentation aims to describe the cultural intellectual and literary panorama in which the Greek Roman and Early Jewish historiographers were working until the beginning of the Imperial period (from ca 30 BCE)

Th e early Hellenistic period is marked by the hegemony of the Hellenes in the eastern Mediterranean region and neighboring lands in the aft ermath of Alexander the Great and by a considerable growth in literary production in the Greek language At the end of the fourth and beginning of the third centuries a social-historical transformation occurs in Greek historiography which is also signifi cant for the history of culture and literature it is now that the fi gure of the so-called court historian emerges11 Th is transformation is the beginning of a close link between politics and historiography Historiography had always been employed as a political instrument but this new link now also generated a number of literary forms and genres

Th e themes of Hellenistic historiography in its Greek and later Roman forms lie initially in the fi eld of Persian Macedonian and Greek history subsequently they concentrate on the protagonists of this history ie Alexander the Great and his successor kings Th is means that Hellenistic historiography increasingly takes on biograph-ical or person-centered traits which we also fi nd in Jewish Hellenistic historiography (eg the Moses fragment in Artapanus)12 At the same time a large number of historiographical methods and presentations developed in Hellenism of these only ldquotiny splinters have come down to usrdquo13 Accordingly every presentation of the literary history of the classical age is conditioned in advance by presuppositions which belong to textual history ie by the transmission of the texts and writ-ings available to us14

12 Demarcations Antiquarian Forms or Literature and Historiography Orientated to Tradition15

We must draw a distinction between the so-called antiquarian litera-ture of the classical period and historiography in the broader and narrower senses Th e term antiquarian literature has been applied since the Renaissance (with an allusion to Varrorsquos ldquoAntiquitiesrdquo) to all those historical forms which do not correspond ldquoto the Herodotean-Th ucydidean concept of the historiography which is based on the study of politics and warrdquo16 It is in this way that antiquarian historical literature has been distinguished from historiography at least from the beginning of the modern period onwards Th is demarcation vis-agrave-vis antiquarian literature shows us one essential characteristic of historio-graphical literature the latter is not limited to the mere collection of

historical information but aims to present this in such a way that it is both systematized and interpreted Th is applies already to the begin-nings of Greek and Roman historiography and to the Christian his-tory of the church Greek historiography is essentially a child of epic forms (myths) and of geographical forms (descriptions of the earth and travel narratives)17 Roman historiography has its precursors in the annales maximi and the so-called fasti18 and ecclesiastical historiogra-phy has its starting point in the chronographical form of the lists of bishops19 Th is means that history by defi nition involves the systemati-zation and interpretation of historical events and information

13 Th e Defi nition of ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in the Broader and Narrower Senses

Against this background how can we defi ne the genre of historio-graphical literature Let us fi rst mention two traits which are signifi -cant for the defi nition of the theme or contents and the literary form of historiography Th ematically speaking historiography is engaged in the narrative of historically relevant facts and events From a literary-formal aspect historiographical literature employs the form of prose from Herodotus onwards20 Th e presentation of history in the form of lists myths epics or poetry can at best be called precursor forms of historiography these do not genuinely belong to the macro-genre of ldquohistoriographyrdquo

A second diff erentiation is necessary at this point Th e macro-genre of historiographymdashie historiography in the broader sensemdashencom-passes a variety of individual forms and genres including historiogra-phy in the narrower sense How can we defi ne historiography in the broader sense and historiography in the narrower sense Where does the line of demarcation run One possible diff erentiating defi nition affi rms that historiography in the broader sense includes those prose texts which are concerned in various individual genres and forms with the presentation of historical themes and events (eg as biography autobiography monograph ethnography) while historiography in the narrower sense (following Hubert Cancik) designates an ldquoespecially highly developed form of historiographyrdquo21 which must be distin-guished specifi cally from biographical and autobiographical forms etc22

14 Defi ning the Distinctions between Historiography Biography and Autobiography

We shall now look in greater detail at the diff erentiation between his-toriography in the narrower sense and biography23 We must fi rst of all locate the phenomenon of biographical literature in the context of his-tory in general and specifi cally of cultural history since the growing importance of biographical literature has historical and political rea-sons ldquoWith the decline of the city states and the rise of the monar-chies the reign of a ruler became the natural unit of time of political history historiography became increasingly biographicalrdquo24 It is thus scarcely possible to use the self-understanding of the authors as a cri-terion for distinguishing between historiographical and biographical literature For example those who told the story of Alexander cer-tainly understood themselves as historians since the object of their work was the personality and the activity of Alexander as a theme

belonging to the history of events and to history in general (eg Cleit-archus of Alexandria FGrHist 137)25

At the same time however steps were taken already in antiquity to distinguish between historiography and biography26 For example Polybius calls the bios as ἐγκωμιαστικός (cf 25611 10218) His intention is αὔξησις whereas history seeks the truth Plutarch (Alex 1 and frequently) explicitly wishes to write ldquohistoryrdquo in the form of βίος since his intention is to portray the character of the human person (τὰ τῆς ψυχῆς σημεῖα) ie ἀρετή and κακία Even in the so-called apodictic historiography which makes use of the bio-graphical excursus the distinction between historiography and biog-raphy is preserved27 In Roman literature too the distinction between historiographical writings in the narrower sense and biographical writ-ings (which included the literature of the exitus illustrium virorum) was maintained at least until the third or fourth century (cf eg Pliny Ep 8124 553)28

Finally autobiographical forms (hupomnecircmata and commentarii) are related to biographical literature29 Aratus of Sicyon (ca 271ndash213 BCE) is known as one of the earliest authors of hupomnecircmata in the

Hellenistic period (cf FGrHist 231)30 Autobiographical forms received a tremendous impetus in the sphere of Roman literature above all in the transition from the Roman Republic to the principate thanks to the prominent works by Julius Caesar (Commentarii)31 and Augustus (res gestaeMonumentum Ancyranum)32 From the Hellenistic period onwards experts in rhetoric ldquostudied the form of the older historio-graphy in order to determine the canon and to distinguish be-tween history biography and antiquarian studiesrdquo33

15 Types and Modes of Hellenistic Historiography

Hellenistic historiography displays a variety of literary types and modes which allow us to see something of the intellectual world and the rhetorical-literary schooling of the historiographers We shall therefore give a brief description of some of these eg the rhetorical-rhetoricizing the mimetic the apodictic and the pragmatic historiography

In the rhetorical historiography the historical discourse takes the form of narration and argumentation and the tradition possesses authority Th e aim of historiography is to facilitate correct evaluations and decisions in the contemporary confl icts In the fi rst century BCE Roman historiography is infl uenced by the Hellenistic-Peripatetic rhe-torical historiography in the way in which it copes with the contem-porary political crises An important factor in the increase in the rhetorical tendencies of Roman historiography was the rhetoricization of historical narration which was demanded especially by Cicero (Orat 254ndash56)34

In his debate with the so-called mimetic historiography of a Duris of Samos (born 330 BCE)35 and the related pathetic historiography (eg Phylarchus)36 as well as with the apodictic historiography of a Hieronymus of Cardia (thirdsecond century)37 Polybius propagates a presentation which concentrates on the relevant historical questions He attacks rhetorical and dramatizing elements in historiography and coins the concept of pragmatic historiography Its methodological approach (the examination of written sources ldquoautopsyrdquo political action cf 1225e1) is already found in Herodotus and Th ucydides38 Unlike tragedy history is interested in ldquotruth and usefulness to the readerrdquo39 Th rough this apodictic interest Polybius establishes a demar-cation line vis-agrave-vis the pathetic historiography of Phylarchus (cf 25611ndash12) Historiography has practical and moral goals (112)40 Polybius sees its purpose as ldquocontributing to the ability to actrdquo in the political and military spheres (3593ndash5 1281 16143ndash10 etc)41 In general therefore we fi nd a basic moralizing and pragmatizing trait in the various types of Hellenistic historiography

16 Refl ections in Classical Antiquity on the Th eory and Methodof Historiography

Scattered ldquomethodological observationsrdquo are found in the works of the ancient historians42 especially when they discuss the exordium43 For example Livy speaks critically of the relationship between historiogra-phy and poetry44 A number of theoretical discussions of the essence signifi cance and function of historiography had a decisive infl uence on the form of historiographical works In his conception of literary composition Aristotle defi nes history as a chance narrative of events (Poet 91451b) Since poetry communicates what could happen accord-ing to the rules of probability and necessity (καὶ τὰ δυνατὰ κατὰ τὸ εἰκὸς ἢ τὸ ἀναγκαῖον) it is ldquomore philosophicalrdquo and more signifi cant than historiography (διὸ καὶ φιλοσοφώτερον καὶ σπουδαιότερον ποίησις ἱστορίας ἐστίν 1451a and b) Historiography inquires into what is specifi c whereas poetry inquires into what is general (καθόλου)

Cicerorsquos discussion refl ects the historiographical theories of the late Roman Republic He understands history as magistra vitae vita memo-riae and lux veritatis (Orat 236) and as munus oratoris maximum (Orat 262)45 Contrary to the Roman tradition of the annales maximi which was meant only to preserve the memory of places times human persons and deeds Cicero favors a rhetorically shaped form of histo-riography which is comparable to the Greek tradition (Orat 251ndash53 Leg 16ndash8) In the Flavian period which brings a ldquoclassicistic reac-tionrdquo46 Quintilian gives us glimpses of the historiographical theories of the Imperial period (Orat Inst 10131)47 He posits a close relation-

ship between historiography and poetry historiography does not prove but narrates in a literary form not bound by the rules of metre ( quodam modo carmen solutum est et scribitur ad narrandum non ad probandum) ldquoTh is makes it clear that Quintilian wishes to see an even stronger link between historiography and poetry than did Cicerordquo48 Quintilian is not the only one who takes this approach he refl ects the increased blurring of the distinction between historiography and poetry that we fi nd in the Roman literature of the early Imperial period49 Tacitus emphasizes the moral and ethical character of historiography He sets out his understanding of the praecipuum munus annalium of history at Ann 365 ldquoTh e passage states fi rst what historyrsquos role should be in respect to good behaviour and second what the purpose is in recording instances of bad behaviourrdquo50

Refl ection on history in the sense of the elaboration of a technical ars historica is found only in Lucian51 who composed the only ldquosys-tematic monograph on historiographyrdquo52 that has survived from the classical period He addresses his methodological linguistic and sub-stantial demands to the historianmdashdemands that are directed against the customary historiography of contemporary imperial military cam-paigns which were nothing other than exaggerated panegyrics Lucian defi nes the distinction between poetry and history by saying that a poet is driven by a deity and by the Muses and is therefore permitted to relate incredible things (Hc 8) Th e following aspects must also be borne in mind when one writes historical works the historian is wri-ting for the instruction of posterity (Hc 40f) and this means that the purpose of history is to be of service by presenting the truth (Hc 8) Th e historianrsquos task is to present factual matters (Hc 38ndash39) A good historian needs political acumen and skill in presentation (Hc 34) Th e facts must be well chosen and critically evaluated they should be based primarily on things one has personally witnessed or on the

17 Th emes and Forms of Early Jewish Historiography

Jewish Hellenistic historiography53 aims both at assimilation and at the preservation of the identity of the historiographical themes and forms of an Old Testament and Jewish character in the context of the mixed Hellenistic cultures Early Jewish historiography thus lives in the ten-sion between assimilation and the preservation of identity54 Th e dias-pora Jews who had largely lost their knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic established a historiography in Greek Jewish Hellenistic his-toriography displays not only linguistic but also formal infl uence on the part of Greek historiography For example 1 Maccabees contains some elements such as the ethnographical chapter about Rome which are related to Greek historiography Th is book is based on various written sources including letters and documents which the author may have consulted in an archive in Jerusalem His presentation also relies on legendary and oral traditions55 2 Maccabees ldquoresembles much more strongly the popular Greek historiography with its pronounced love of miracles and remarkable eventsrdquo56 2 Maccabees ldquoas a work of

Despite linguistic and cultural processes of adaptation ie the use of the Greek language and the consequences this had for early Jewish literature and historiography58 the literary products of Jewish Hellenistic historiography nevertheless largely preserve their own spe-cifi c character Religious aspects play a central role here59 as does the fact that there was little interest in individual historical themes and in history in general in Israel and especially in Diaspora Judaism in the second century BCE with the exception of the Maccabean confl icts60 Instead of writing a continuous history of contemporary events bibli-cal traditions are elaborated into contemporary narratives61 (cf

Artapanus)62 Th is is why it is diffi cult to defi ne the specifi c genre of the early Jewish historiographical writings and thus to demarcate them vis-agrave-vis the rest of early Jewish literature63 Historical themes are given an arbitrary literary form in other areas of early Jewish literature which are not counted among the ldquohistorical writingsrdquo in the broader sense (prophecy apocalyptic sapiential literature) Th ese historical themes can be understood only against the background of the prophetic-apocalyptic coding (eg Dan 12) or of sapiential instruction (Sirach)64 and are thus accessible only to specifi c groups

Among the surviving Jewish Hellenistic historical works we must distinguish between (a) those that have survived intact (1 Esdras 1ndash3 Maccabees) and were included in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate canon and (b) the mostly brief fragments of historical works which survive only in compilations by later writers Eusebius (especially in Praeparatio evangelica 9) Clement of Alexandria and Josephus were not the fi rst to transmit fragments of the Jewish Hellenistic historiog-raphers this had been done earlier by the Hellenistic historiographer L Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor (born 105 BCE) in his work On the Jews65 Th e fragments refer to writers who are orthonymous but about whom scarcely any historical information survives references to anonymous authors (Ps-Eupolemus) or pseudepigraphical writers (Ps-Hecataeus) are less frequent Nevertheless there is a tendency in

2 Tendencies and Representatives of the Historiography of the Early Imperial Period

21 Basic Questions

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

Roman historiography became more important than Greek histori-ography from the fi rst century BCE onwards In the Augustan period the literature related to the Imperium Romanummdashespecially poetry but also historiographymdashwas produced in an affi rmative or critical

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

109 Cf Landfester Geschichte 201 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 242ndash244110 Cf Landfester Geschichte 215ndash216 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 239ndash241111 Cf Landfester Geschichte 424ndash425 Gall Literatur 151ndash153112 Cf Landfester Geschichte 213113 For an exemplary study of the question of the social status of Josephus cf G W

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

116 Cf table (3) On this cf also P W van der Horst ldquoPhilorsquos In Flaccum and the Book of Actsrdquo in idem Jews and Christians in Th eir Graeco-Roman Context Selected Essays on Early Judaism Samaritanism Hellenism and Christianity WUNT 196 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2006) 98ndash107 and in general cf also Schuumlrer History 859ndash864

1810 eve-marie becker

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

117 Cf G E Lessing ldquoTh eses aus der Kirchengeschichterdquo in idem Werke und Briefe in zwoumllf Baumlnden 8 Werke 1774ndash1778 ed A Schilson (Frankfurt Deutscher Klassiker Verlag 1989) 619ndash627 idem Neue Hypothese uumlber die Evangelisten als bloszlig mensch-liche Geschichtsschreiber betrachtet Wolfenbuumlttel 1778 in Werke und Briefe 8629ndash654

118 For an overview of research cf D Dormeyer Das Markus-Evangelium (Darm-stadt Wissenschaft liche Buchgesellschaft 2005) esp 112ndash137 Becker Markus-Evan-gelium 37ndash29

119 Cf H Koester ldquoUumlberlieferung und Geschichte der fruumlhchristlichen Evangelien-literaturrdquo ANRW II 522 (1984) 1463ndash1542 idem ldquoEvangelium II Gattungrdquo RGG 4th ed 2 (1999) 1735ndash1741

120 Cf D Dormeyer and H Frankemoumllle ldquoEvangelium als literarische Gattung und als theologischer Begriff Tendenzen und Aufgaben der Evangelienforschung im 20 Jahrhundert mit einer Untersuchung des Markusevangeliums in seinem Verhaumlltnis zur antiken Biographierdquo ANRW II 252 (1984) 1543ndash1704 Dormeyer Markusevan-gelium 1666ndash1668

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

150 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Buch des Th omasrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 192ndash198

historiographical literature in the new testament 1789

kings in Greek historiography7 the culture of remembrance of the early Roman historians infl uenced by annals (eg Q Fabius Pictor)8 and the narrative-legendary elaboration of biblical-historical narrative material in Jewish Hellenistic historiography (eg Eupolemus Artapa-nus)9 On the other hand there is a linguistic and literary cultural transfer and cultural exchange precisely in Hellenism and this can be seen both in the shaping of individual themes and forms and in the creation of mixed forms Th e defi nition of the so-called Hellenistic age usually envisages a space of time which is defi ned by political events (ca 330ndash30 BCE)10 Th e following presentation aims to describe the cultural intellectual and literary panorama in which the Greek Roman and Early Jewish historiographers were working until the beginning of the Imperial period (from ca 30 BCE)

Th e early Hellenistic period is marked by the hegemony of the Hellenes in the eastern Mediterranean region and neighboring lands in the aft ermath of Alexander the Great and by a considerable growth in literary production in the Greek language At the end of the fourth and beginning of the third centuries a social-historical transformation occurs in Greek historiography which is also signifi cant for the history of culture and literature it is now that the fi gure of the so-called court historian emerges11 Th is transformation is the beginning of a close link between politics and historiography Historiography had always been employed as a political instrument but this new link now also generated a number of literary forms and genres

Th e themes of Hellenistic historiography in its Greek and later Roman forms lie initially in the fi eld of Persian Macedonian and Greek history subsequently they concentrate on the protagonists of this history ie Alexander the Great and his successor kings Th is means that Hellenistic historiography increasingly takes on biograph-ical or person-centered traits which we also fi nd in Jewish Hellenistic historiography (eg the Moses fragment in Artapanus)12 At the same time a large number of historiographical methods and presentations developed in Hellenism of these only ldquotiny splinters have come down to usrdquo13 Accordingly every presentation of the literary history of the classical age is conditioned in advance by presuppositions which belong to textual history ie by the transmission of the texts and writ-ings available to us14

12 Demarcations Antiquarian Forms or Literature and Historiography Orientated to Tradition15

We must draw a distinction between the so-called antiquarian litera-ture of the classical period and historiography in the broader and narrower senses Th e term antiquarian literature has been applied since the Renaissance (with an allusion to Varrorsquos ldquoAntiquitiesrdquo) to all those historical forms which do not correspond ldquoto the Herodotean-Th ucydidean concept of the historiography which is based on the study of politics and warrdquo16 It is in this way that antiquarian historical literature has been distinguished from historiography at least from the beginning of the modern period onwards Th is demarcation vis-agrave-vis antiquarian literature shows us one essential characteristic of historio-graphical literature the latter is not limited to the mere collection of

historical information but aims to present this in such a way that it is both systematized and interpreted Th is applies already to the begin-nings of Greek and Roman historiography and to the Christian his-tory of the church Greek historiography is essentially a child of epic forms (myths) and of geographical forms (descriptions of the earth and travel narratives)17 Roman historiography has its precursors in the annales maximi and the so-called fasti18 and ecclesiastical historiogra-phy has its starting point in the chronographical form of the lists of bishops19 Th is means that history by defi nition involves the systemati-zation and interpretation of historical events and information

13 Th e Defi nition of ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in the Broader and Narrower Senses

Against this background how can we defi ne the genre of historio-graphical literature Let us fi rst mention two traits which are signifi -cant for the defi nition of the theme or contents and the literary form of historiography Th ematically speaking historiography is engaged in the narrative of historically relevant facts and events From a literary-formal aspect historiographical literature employs the form of prose from Herodotus onwards20 Th e presentation of history in the form of lists myths epics or poetry can at best be called precursor forms of historiography these do not genuinely belong to the macro-genre of ldquohistoriographyrdquo

A second diff erentiation is necessary at this point Th e macro-genre of historiographymdashie historiography in the broader sensemdashencom-passes a variety of individual forms and genres including historiogra-phy in the narrower sense How can we defi ne historiography in the broader sense and historiography in the narrower sense Where does the line of demarcation run One possible diff erentiating defi nition affi rms that historiography in the broader sense includes those prose texts which are concerned in various individual genres and forms with the presentation of historical themes and events (eg as biography autobiography monograph ethnography) while historiography in the narrower sense (following Hubert Cancik) designates an ldquoespecially highly developed form of historiographyrdquo21 which must be distin-guished specifi cally from biographical and autobiographical forms etc22

14 Defi ning the Distinctions between Historiography Biography and Autobiography

We shall now look in greater detail at the diff erentiation between his-toriography in the narrower sense and biography23 We must fi rst of all locate the phenomenon of biographical literature in the context of his-tory in general and specifi cally of cultural history since the growing importance of biographical literature has historical and political rea-sons ldquoWith the decline of the city states and the rise of the monar-chies the reign of a ruler became the natural unit of time of political history historiography became increasingly biographicalrdquo24 It is thus scarcely possible to use the self-understanding of the authors as a cri-terion for distinguishing between historiographical and biographical literature For example those who told the story of Alexander cer-tainly understood themselves as historians since the object of their work was the personality and the activity of Alexander as a theme

belonging to the history of events and to history in general (eg Cleit-archus of Alexandria FGrHist 137)25

At the same time however steps were taken already in antiquity to distinguish between historiography and biography26 For example Polybius calls the bios as ἐγκωμιαστικός (cf 25611 10218) His intention is αὔξησις whereas history seeks the truth Plutarch (Alex 1 and frequently) explicitly wishes to write ldquohistoryrdquo in the form of βίος since his intention is to portray the character of the human person (τὰ τῆς ψυχῆς σημεῖα) ie ἀρετή and κακία Even in the so-called apodictic historiography which makes use of the bio-graphical excursus the distinction between historiography and biog-raphy is preserved27 In Roman literature too the distinction between historiographical writings in the narrower sense and biographical writ-ings (which included the literature of the exitus illustrium virorum) was maintained at least until the third or fourth century (cf eg Pliny Ep 8124 553)28

Finally autobiographical forms (hupomnecircmata and commentarii) are related to biographical literature29 Aratus of Sicyon (ca 271ndash213 BCE) is known as one of the earliest authors of hupomnecircmata in the

Hellenistic period (cf FGrHist 231)30 Autobiographical forms received a tremendous impetus in the sphere of Roman literature above all in the transition from the Roman Republic to the principate thanks to the prominent works by Julius Caesar (Commentarii)31 and Augustus (res gestaeMonumentum Ancyranum)32 From the Hellenistic period onwards experts in rhetoric ldquostudied the form of the older historio-graphy in order to determine the canon and to distinguish be-tween history biography and antiquarian studiesrdquo33

15 Types and Modes of Hellenistic Historiography

Hellenistic historiography displays a variety of literary types and modes which allow us to see something of the intellectual world and the rhetorical-literary schooling of the historiographers We shall therefore give a brief description of some of these eg the rhetorical-rhetoricizing the mimetic the apodictic and the pragmatic historiography

In the rhetorical historiography the historical discourse takes the form of narration and argumentation and the tradition possesses authority Th e aim of historiography is to facilitate correct evaluations and decisions in the contemporary confl icts In the fi rst century BCE Roman historiography is infl uenced by the Hellenistic-Peripatetic rhe-torical historiography in the way in which it copes with the contem-porary political crises An important factor in the increase in the rhetorical tendencies of Roman historiography was the rhetoricization of historical narration which was demanded especially by Cicero (Orat 254ndash56)34

30 To a large extent his writings can be regarded as unfalsifi ed and devoid of liter-ary artifi ce although they have a subjective coloring Cf Lendle Einfuumlhrung 192ndash194

In his debate with the so-called mimetic historiography of a Duris of Samos (born 330 BCE)35 and the related pathetic historiography (eg Phylarchus)36 as well as with the apodictic historiography of a Hieronymus of Cardia (thirdsecond century)37 Polybius propagates a presentation which concentrates on the relevant historical questions He attacks rhetorical and dramatizing elements in historiography and coins the concept of pragmatic historiography Its methodological approach (the examination of written sources ldquoautopsyrdquo political action cf 1225e1) is already found in Herodotus and Th ucydides38 Unlike tragedy history is interested in ldquotruth and usefulness to the readerrdquo39 Th rough this apodictic interest Polybius establishes a demar-cation line vis-agrave-vis the pathetic historiography of Phylarchus (cf 25611ndash12) Historiography has practical and moral goals (112)40 Polybius sees its purpose as ldquocontributing to the ability to actrdquo in the political and military spheres (3593ndash5 1281 16143ndash10 etc)41 In general therefore we fi nd a basic moralizing and pragmatizing trait in the various types of Hellenistic historiography

16 Refl ections in Classical Antiquity on the Th eory and Methodof Historiography

Scattered ldquomethodological observationsrdquo are found in the works of the ancient historians42 especially when they discuss the exordium43 For example Livy speaks critically of the relationship between historiogra-phy and poetry44 A number of theoretical discussions of the essence signifi cance and function of historiography had a decisive infl uence on the form of historiographical works In his conception of literary composition Aristotle defi nes history as a chance narrative of events (Poet 91451b) Since poetry communicates what could happen accord-ing to the rules of probability and necessity (καὶ τὰ δυνατὰ κατὰ τὸ εἰκὸς ἢ τὸ ἀναγκαῖον) it is ldquomore philosophicalrdquo and more signifi cant than historiography (διὸ καὶ φιλοσοφώτερον καὶ σπουδαιότερον ποίησις ἱστορίας ἐστίν 1451a and b) Historiography inquires into what is specifi c whereas poetry inquires into what is general (καθόλου)

Cicerorsquos discussion refl ects the historiographical theories of the late Roman Republic He understands history as magistra vitae vita memo-riae and lux veritatis (Orat 236) and as munus oratoris maximum (Orat 262)45 Contrary to the Roman tradition of the annales maximi which was meant only to preserve the memory of places times human persons and deeds Cicero favors a rhetorically shaped form of histo-riography which is comparable to the Greek tradition (Orat 251ndash53 Leg 16ndash8) In the Flavian period which brings a ldquoclassicistic reac-tionrdquo46 Quintilian gives us glimpses of the historiographical theories of the Imperial period (Orat Inst 10131)47 He posits a close relation-

Refl ection on history in the sense of the elaboration of a technical ars historica is found only in Lucian51 who composed the only ldquosys-tematic monograph on historiographyrdquo52 that has survived from the classical period He addresses his methodological linguistic and sub-stantial demands to the historianmdashdemands that are directed against the customary historiography of contemporary imperial military cam-paigns which were nothing other than exaggerated panegyrics Lucian defi nes the distinction between poetry and history by saying that a poet is driven by a deity and by the Muses and is therefore permitted to relate incredible things (Hc 8) Th e following aspects must also be borne in mind when one writes historical works the historian is wri-ting for the instruction of posterity (Hc 40f) and this means that the purpose of history is to be of service by presenting the truth (Hc 8) Th e historianrsquos task is to present factual matters (Hc 38ndash39) A good historian needs political acumen and skill in presentation (Hc 34) Th e facts must be well chosen and critically evaluated they should be based primarily on things one has personally witnessed or on the

17 Th emes and Forms of Early Jewish Historiography

Jewish Hellenistic historiography53 aims both at assimilation and at the preservation of the identity of the historiographical themes and forms of an Old Testament and Jewish character in the context of the mixed Hellenistic cultures Early Jewish historiography thus lives in the ten-sion between assimilation and the preservation of identity54 Th e dias-pora Jews who had largely lost their knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic established a historiography in Greek Jewish Hellenistic his-toriography displays not only linguistic but also formal infl uence on the part of Greek historiography For example 1 Maccabees contains some elements such as the ethnographical chapter about Rome which are related to Greek historiography Th is book is based on various written sources including letters and documents which the author may have consulted in an archive in Jerusalem His presentation also relies on legendary and oral traditions55 2 Maccabees ldquoresembles much more strongly the popular Greek historiography with its pronounced love of miracles and remarkable eventsrdquo56 2 Maccabees ldquoas a work of

21 Basic Questions

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

historiographical literature in the new testament 1803

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

22 Historiographical Authors in the Early Imperial Period (fi rstsecond century of the Common Era)

Tables (1)ndash(3) list historiographical authors who worked in the period relevant to the New Testament age ie the early Imperial period in the Greek Hellenistic Roman and early Jewish linguistic and cultural spheres Th ose authors are listed who present historical themes in prose form81

828384858687888990

76 ldquoTh e normative view of the exemplary knowledge of tradition indeed of a value untouched by change (auctoritas) gave the historians (Livy Sallust Tacitus) the free-dom to combine and make a stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation in order to write persuasively forms drawn from oratory literature and dialectics such as narrative description argumentation dramatization fi ctitious speech the narrative of events commentaries aphorismsrdquo Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

77 With regard to Tacitus cf the presentation by D Flach Tacitus in der Tradition der antiken Geschichtsschreibung Hyp 39 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht 1973) 14ndash16

78 In general cf R Laqueur ldquoNikolaosrdquo RE 17 (1937) 362ndash42479 He is one of the Greek-speaking historians who ldquothemselves worked in Romerdquo in

increasing numbers from the late Republican period onward ldquoor at any rate were closely connected to the great men of Romerdquo A Dihle Die griechische und lateinische Literatur der Kaiserzeit Von Augustus bis Justinian (Muumlnchen C H Beck 1989) 153

80 On this cf also M Kober Die politischen Anfaumlnge Octavians in der Darstellung des Velleius und dessen Verhaumlltnis zur historiographischen Tradition Ein philologischer Quellenvergleich Nikolaus von Damaskus Appianos von Alexandria Velleius Patercu-lus Epistemata 286 (Wuumlrzburg Koumlnigshausen amp Neumann 2000) M Toher Th e ldquoBios Kaisarosrdquo of Nicolaus of Damascus An Historiographical Analysis (unpub-lished PhD dissertation Brown University 1985)

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

Th e themes of Hellenistic historiography in its Greek and later Roman forms lie initially in the fi eld of Persian Macedonian and Greek history subsequently they concentrate on the protagonists of this history ie Alexander the Great and his successor kings Th is means that Hellenistic historiography increasingly takes on biograph-ical or person-centered traits which we also fi nd in Jewish Hellenistic historiography (eg the Moses fragment in Artapanus)12 At the same time a large number of historiographical methods and presentations developed in Hellenism of these only ldquotiny splinters have come down to usrdquo13 Accordingly every presentation of the literary history of the classical age is conditioned in advance by presuppositions which belong to textual history ie by the transmission of the texts and writ-ings available to us14

12 Demarcations Antiquarian Forms or Literature and Historiography Orientated to Tradition15

We must draw a distinction between the so-called antiquarian litera-ture of the classical period and historiography in the broader and narrower senses Th e term antiquarian literature has been applied since the Renaissance (with an allusion to Varrorsquos ldquoAntiquitiesrdquo) to all those historical forms which do not correspond ldquoto the Herodotean-Th ucydidean concept of the historiography which is based on the study of politics and warrdquo16 It is in this way that antiquarian historical literature has been distinguished from historiography at least from the beginning of the modern period onwards Th is demarcation vis-agrave-vis antiquarian literature shows us one essential characteristic of historio-graphical literature the latter is not limited to the mere collection of

13 Th e Defi nition of ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in the Broader and Narrower Senses

Against this background how can we defi ne the genre of historio-graphical literature Let us fi rst mention two traits which are signifi -cant for the defi nition of the theme or contents and the literary form of historiography Th ematically speaking historiography is engaged in the narrative of historically relevant facts and events From a literary-formal aspect historiographical literature employs the form of prose from Herodotus onwards20 Th e presentation of history in the form of lists myths epics or poetry can at best be called precursor forms of historiography these do not genuinely belong to the macro-genre of ldquohistoriographyrdquo

A second diff erentiation is necessary at this point Th e macro-genre of historiographymdashie historiography in the broader sensemdashencom-passes a variety of individual forms and genres including historiogra-phy in the narrower sense How can we defi ne historiography in the broader sense and historiography in the narrower sense Where does the line of demarcation run One possible diff erentiating defi nition affi rms that historiography in the broader sense includes those prose texts which are concerned in various individual genres and forms with the presentation of historical themes and events (eg as biography autobiography monograph ethnography) while historiography in the narrower sense (following Hubert Cancik) designates an ldquoespecially highly developed form of historiographyrdquo21 which must be distin-guished specifi cally from biographical and autobiographical forms etc22

14 Defi ning the Distinctions between Historiography Biography and Autobiography

We shall now look in greater detail at the diff erentiation between his-toriography in the narrower sense and biography23 We must fi rst of all locate the phenomenon of biographical literature in the context of his-tory in general and specifi cally of cultural history since the growing importance of biographical literature has historical and political rea-sons ldquoWith the decline of the city states and the rise of the monar-chies the reign of a ruler became the natural unit of time of political history historiography became increasingly biographicalrdquo24 It is thus scarcely possible to use the self-understanding of the authors as a cri-terion for distinguishing between historiographical and biographical literature For example those who told the story of Alexander cer-tainly understood themselves as historians since the object of their work was the personality and the activity of Alexander as a theme

belonging to the history of events and to history in general (eg Cleit-archus of Alexandria FGrHist 137)25

At the same time however steps were taken already in antiquity to distinguish between historiography and biography26 For example Polybius calls the bios as ἐγκωμιαστικός (cf 25611 10218) His intention is αὔξησις whereas history seeks the truth Plutarch (Alex 1 and frequently) explicitly wishes to write ldquohistoryrdquo in the form of βίος since his intention is to portray the character of the human person (τὰ τῆς ψυχῆς σημεῖα) ie ἀρετή and κακία Even in the so-called apodictic historiography which makes use of the bio-graphical excursus the distinction between historiography and biog-raphy is preserved27 In Roman literature too the distinction between historiographical writings in the narrower sense and biographical writ-ings (which included the literature of the exitus illustrium virorum) was maintained at least until the third or fourth century (cf eg Pliny Ep 8124 553)28

Finally autobiographical forms (hupomnecircmata and commentarii) are related to biographical literature29 Aratus of Sicyon (ca 271ndash213 BCE) is known as one of the earliest authors of hupomnecircmata in the

Hellenistic period (cf FGrHist 231)30 Autobiographical forms received a tremendous impetus in the sphere of Roman literature above all in the transition from the Roman Republic to the principate thanks to the prominent works by Julius Caesar (Commentarii)31 and Augustus (res gestaeMonumentum Ancyranum)32 From the Hellenistic period onwards experts in rhetoric ldquostudied the form of the older historio-graphy in order to determine the canon and to distinguish be-tween history biography and antiquarian studiesrdquo33

15 Types and Modes of Hellenistic Historiography

Hellenistic historiography displays a variety of literary types and modes which allow us to see something of the intellectual world and the rhetorical-literary schooling of the historiographers We shall therefore give a brief description of some of these eg the rhetorical-rhetoricizing the mimetic the apodictic and the pragmatic historiography

In the rhetorical historiography the historical discourse takes the form of narration and argumentation and the tradition possesses authority Th e aim of historiography is to facilitate correct evaluations and decisions in the contemporary confl icts In the fi rst century BCE Roman historiography is infl uenced by the Hellenistic-Peripatetic rhe-torical historiography in the way in which it copes with the contem-porary political crises An important factor in the increase in the rhetorical tendencies of Roman historiography was the rhetoricization of historical narration which was demanded especially by Cicero (Orat 254ndash56)34

30 To a large extent his writings can be regarded as unfalsifi ed and devoid of liter-ary artifi ce although they have a subjective coloring Cf Lendle Einfuumlhrung 192ndash194

In his debate with the so-called mimetic historiography of a Duris of Samos (born 330 BCE)35 and the related pathetic historiography (eg Phylarchus)36 as well as with the apodictic historiography of a Hieronymus of Cardia (thirdsecond century)37 Polybius propagates a presentation which concentrates on the relevant historical questions He attacks rhetorical and dramatizing elements in historiography and coins the concept of pragmatic historiography Its methodological approach (the examination of written sources ldquoautopsyrdquo political action cf 1225e1) is already found in Herodotus and Th ucydides38 Unlike tragedy history is interested in ldquotruth and usefulness to the readerrdquo39 Th rough this apodictic interest Polybius establishes a demar-cation line vis-agrave-vis the pathetic historiography of Phylarchus (cf 25611ndash12) Historiography has practical and moral goals (112)40 Polybius sees its purpose as ldquocontributing to the ability to actrdquo in the political and military spheres (3593ndash5 1281 16143ndash10 etc)41 In general therefore we fi nd a basic moralizing and pragmatizing trait in the various types of Hellenistic historiography

16 Refl ections in Classical Antiquity on the Th eory and Methodof Historiography

Scattered ldquomethodological observationsrdquo are found in the works of the ancient historians42 especially when they discuss the exordium43 For example Livy speaks critically of the relationship between historiogra-phy and poetry44 A number of theoretical discussions of the essence signifi cance and function of historiography had a decisive infl uence on the form of historiographical works In his conception of literary composition Aristotle defi nes history as a chance narrative of events (Poet 91451b) Since poetry communicates what could happen accord-ing to the rules of probability and necessity (καὶ τὰ δυνατὰ κατὰ τὸ εἰκὸς ἢ τὸ ἀναγκαῖον) it is ldquomore philosophicalrdquo and more signifi cant than historiography (διὸ καὶ φιλοσοφώτερον καὶ σπουδαιότερον ποίησις ἱστορίας ἐστίν 1451a and b) Historiography inquires into what is specifi c whereas poetry inquires into what is general (καθόλου)

Cicerorsquos discussion refl ects the historiographical theories of the late Roman Republic He understands history as magistra vitae vita memo-riae and lux veritatis (Orat 236) and as munus oratoris maximum (Orat 262)45 Contrary to the Roman tradition of the annales maximi which was meant only to preserve the memory of places times human persons and deeds Cicero favors a rhetorically shaped form of histo-riography which is comparable to the Greek tradition (Orat 251ndash53 Leg 16ndash8) In the Flavian period which brings a ldquoclassicistic reac-tionrdquo46 Quintilian gives us glimpses of the historiographical theories of the Imperial period (Orat Inst 10131)47 He posits a close relation-

ship between historiography and poetry historiography does not prove but narrates in a literary form not bound by the rules of metre ( quodam modo carmen solutum est et scribitur ad narrandum non ad probandum) ldquoTh is makes it clear that Quintilian wishes to see an even stronger link between historiography and poetry than did Cicerordquo48 Quintilian is not the only one who takes this approach he refl ects the increased blurring of the distinction between historiography and poetry that we fi nd in the Roman literature of the early Imperial period49 Tacitus emphasizes the moral and ethical character of historiography He sets out his understanding of the praecipuum munus annalium of history at Ann 365 ldquoTh e passage states fi rst what historyrsquos role should be in respect to good behaviour and second what the purpose is in recording instances of bad behaviourrdquo50

Refl ection on history in the sense of the elaboration of a technical ars historica is found only in Lucian51 who composed the only ldquosys-tematic monograph on historiographyrdquo52 that has survived from the classical period He addresses his methodological linguistic and sub-stantial demands to the historianmdashdemands that are directed against the customary historiography of contemporary imperial military cam-paigns which were nothing other than exaggerated panegyrics Lucian defi nes the distinction between poetry and history by saying that a poet is driven by a deity and by the Muses and is therefore permitted to relate incredible things (Hc 8) Th e following aspects must also be borne in mind when one writes historical works the historian is wri-ting for the instruction of posterity (Hc 40f) and this means that the purpose of history is to be of service by presenting the truth (Hc 8) Th e historianrsquos task is to present factual matters (Hc 38ndash39) A good historian needs political acumen and skill in presentation (Hc 34) Th e facts must be well chosen and critically evaluated they should be based primarily on things one has personally witnessed or on the

17 Th emes and Forms of Early Jewish Historiography

Jewish Hellenistic historiography53 aims both at assimilation and at the preservation of the identity of the historiographical themes and forms of an Old Testament and Jewish character in the context of the mixed Hellenistic cultures Early Jewish historiography thus lives in the ten-sion between assimilation and the preservation of identity54 Th e dias-pora Jews who had largely lost their knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic established a historiography in Greek Jewish Hellenistic his-toriography displays not only linguistic but also formal infl uence on the part of Greek historiography For example 1 Maccabees contains some elements such as the ethnographical chapter about Rome which are related to Greek historiography Th is book is based on various written sources including letters and documents which the author may have consulted in an archive in Jerusalem His presentation also relies on legendary and oral traditions55 2 Maccabees ldquoresembles much more strongly the popular Greek historiography with its pronounced love of miracles and remarkable eventsrdquo56 2 Maccabees ldquoas a work of

Despite linguistic and cultural processes of adaptation ie the use of the Greek language and the consequences this had for early Jewish literature and historiography58 the literary products of Jewish Hellenistic historiography nevertheless largely preserve their own spe-cifi c character Religious aspects play a central role here59 as does the fact that there was little interest in individual historical themes and in history in general in Israel and especially in Diaspora Judaism in the second century BCE with the exception of the Maccabean confl icts60 Instead of writing a continuous history of contemporary events bibli-cal traditions are elaborated into contemporary narratives61 (cf

Artapanus)62 Th is is why it is diffi cult to defi ne the specifi c genre of the early Jewish historiographical writings and thus to demarcate them vis-agrave-vis the rest of early Jewish literature63 Historical themes are given an arbitrary literary form in other areas of early Jewish literature which are not counted among the ldquohistorical writingsrdquo in the broader sense (prophecy apocalyptic sapiential literature) Th ese historical themes can be understood only against the background of the prophetic-apocalyptic coding (eg Dan 12) or of sapiential instruction (Sirach)64 and are thus accessible only to specifi c groups

Among the surviving Jewish Hellenistic historical works we must distinguish between (a) those that have survived intact (1 Esdras 1ndash3 Maccabees) and were included in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate canon and (b) the mostly brief fragments of historical works which survive only in compilations by later writers Eusebius (especially in Praeparatio evangelica 9) Clement of Alexandria and Josephus were not the fi rst to transmit fragments of the Jewish Hellenistic historiog-raphers this had been done earlier by the Hellenistic historiographer L Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor (born 105 BCE) in his work On the Jews65 Th e fragments refer to writers who are orthonymous but about whom scarcely any historical information survives references to anonymous authors (Ps-Eupolemus) or pseudepigraphical writers (Ps-Hecataeus) are less frequent Nevertheless there is a tendency in

Jewish literature for authors to remain anonymous We fi nd the phe-nomenon of orthonymous authorship fi rst in Sirach and Martin Hengel has emphasized that this is connected with the ldquodiscovery of the individuality of the authorrdquo in the ldquoHellenistic periodrdquo66 (c) Josephus represents an independent type of historiographical litera-ture which must be evaluated in the context of Hellenistic Roman historiography

2 Tendencies and Representatives of the Historiography of the Early Imperial Period

21 Basic Questions

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

Roman historiography became more important than Greek histori-ography from the fi rst century BCE onwards In the Augustan period the literature related to the Imperium Romanummdashespecially poetry but also historiographymdashwas produced in an affi rmative or critical

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

76 ldquoTh e normative view of the exemplary knowledge of tradition indeed of a value untouched by change (auctoritas) gave the historians (Livy Sallust Tacitus) the free-dom to combine and make a stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation in order to write persuasively forms drawn from oratory literature and dialectics such as narrative description argumentation dramatization fi ctitious speech the narrative of events commentaries aphorismsrdquo Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

77 With regard to Tacitus cf the presentation by D Flach Tacitus in der Tradition der antiken Geschichtsschreibung Hyp 39 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht 1973) 14ndash16

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

109 Cf Landfester Geschichte 201 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 242ndash244110 Cf Landfester Geschichte 215ndash216 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 239ndash241111 Cf Landfester Geschichte 424ndash425 Gall Literatur 151ndash153112 Cf Landfester Geschichte 213113 For an exemplary study of the question of the social status of Josephus cf G W

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

116 Cf table (3) On this cf also P W van der Horst ldquoPhilorsquos In Flaccum and the Book of Actsrdquo in idem Jews and Christians in Th eir Graeco-Roman Context Selected Essays on Early Judaism Samaritanism Hellenism and Christianity WUNT 196 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2006) 98ndash107 and in general cf also Schuumlrer History 859ndash864

1810 eve-marie becker

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

120 Cf D Dormeyer and H Frankemoumllle ldquoEvangelium als literarische Gattung und als theologischer Begriff Tendenzen und Aufgaben der Evangelienforschung im 20 Jahrhundert mit einer Untersuchung des Markusevangeliums in seinem Verhaumlltnis zur antiken Biographierdquo ANRW II 252 (1984) 1543ndash1704 Dormeyer Markusevan-gelium 1666ndash1668

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

129 Cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 362ndash364130 Cf eg M Dibelius ldquoDie Reden der Apostelgeschichte und die antike Geschichts-

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

historical information but aims to present this in such a way that it is both systematized and interpreted Th is applies already to the begin-nings of Greek and Roman historiography and to the Christian his-tory of the church Greek historiography is essentially a child of epic forms (myths) and of geographical forms (descriptions of the earth and travel narratives)17 Roman historiography has its precursors in the annales maximi and the so-called fasti18 and ecclesiastical historiogra-phy has its starting point in the chronographical form of the lists of bishops19 Th is means that history by defi nition involves the systemati-zation and interpretation of historical events and information

13 Th e Defi nition of ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in the Broader and Narrower Senses

Against this background how can we defi ne the genre of historio-graphical literature Let us fi rst mention two traits which are signifi -cant for the defi nition of the theme or contents and the literary form of historiography Th ematically speaking historiography is engaged in the narrative of historically relevant facts and events From a literary-formal aspect historiographical literature employs the form of prose from Herodotus onwards20 Th e presentation of history in the form of lists myths epics or poetry can at best be called precursor forms of historiography these do not genuinely belong to the macro-genre of ldquohistoriographyrdquo

A second diff erentiation is necessary at this point Th e macro-genre of historiographymdashie historiography in the broader sensemdashencom-passes a variety of individual forms and genres including historiogra-phy in the narrower sense How can we defi ne historiography in the broader sense and historiography in the narrower sense Where does the line of demarcation run One possible diff erentiating defi nition affi rms that historiography in the broader sense includes those prose texts which are concerned in various individual genres and forms with the presentation of historical themes and events (eg as biography autobiography monograph ethnography) while historiography in the narrower sense (following Hubert Cancik) designates an ldquoespecially highly developed form of historiographyrdquo21 which must be distin-guished specifi cally from biographical and autobiographical forms etc22

14 Defi ning the Distinctions between Historiography Biography and Autobiography

We shall now look in greater detail at the diff erentiation between his-toriography in the narrower sense and biography23 We must fi rst of all locate the phenomenon of biographical literature in the context of his-tory in general and specifi cally of cultural history since the growing importance of biographical literature has historical and political rea-sons ldquoWith the decline of the city states and the rise of the monar-chies the reign of a ruler became the natural unit of time of political history historiography became increasingly biographicalrdquo24 It is thus scarcely possible to use the self-understanding of the authors as a cri-terion for distinguishing between historiographical and biographical literature For example those who told the story of Alexander cer-tainly understood themselves as historians since the object of their work was the personality and the activity of Alexander as a theme

belonging to the history of events and to history in general (eg Cleit-archus of Alexandria FGrHist 137)25

At the same time however steps were taken already in antiquity to distinguish between historiography and biography26 For example Polybius calls the bios as ἐγκωμιαστικός (cf 25611 10218) His intention is αὔξησις whereas history seeks the truth Plutarch (Alex 1 and frequently) explicitly wishes to write ldquohistoryrdquo in the form of βίος since his intention is to portray the character of the human person (τὰ τῆς ψυχῆς σημεῖα) ie ἀρετή and κακία Even in the so-called apodictic historiography which makes use of the bio-graphical excursus the distinction between historiography and biog-raphy is preserved27 In Roman literature too the distinction between historiographical writings in the narrower sense and biographical writ-ings (which included the literature of the exitus illustrium virorum) was maintained at least until the third or fourth century (cf eg Pliny Ep 8124 553)28

Finally autobiographical forms (hupomnecircmata and commentarii) are related to biographical literature29 Aratus of Sicyon (ca 271ndash213 BCE) is known as one of the earliest authors of hupomnecircmata in the

Hellenistic period (cf FGrHist 231)30 Autobiographical forms received a tremendous impetus in the sphere of Roman literature above all in the transition from the Roman Republic to the principate thanks to the prominent works by Julius Caesar (Commentarii)31 and Augustus (res gestaeMonumentum Ancyranum)32 From the Hellenistic period onwards experts in rhetoric ldquostudied the form of the older historio-graphy in order to determine the canon and to distinguish be-tween history biography and antiquarian studiesrdquo33

15 Types and Modes of Hellenistic Historiography

Hellenistic historiography displays a variety of literary types and modes which allow us to see something of the intellectual world and the rhetorical-literary schooling of the historiographers We shall therefore give a brief description of some of these eg the rhetorical-rhetoricizing the mimetic the apodictic and the pragmatic historiography

In the rhetorical historiography the historical discourse takes the form of narration and argumentation and the tradition possesses authority Th e aim of historiography is to facilitate correct evaluations and decisions in the contemporary confl icts In the fi rst century BCE Roman historiography is infl uenced by the Hellenistic-Peripatetic rhe-torical historiography in the way in which it copes with the contem-porary political crises An important factor in the increase in the rhetorical tendencies of Roman historiography was the rhetoricization of historical narration which was demanded especially by Cicero (Orat 254ndash56)34

30 To a large extent his writings can be regarded as unfalsifi ed and devoid of liter-ary artifi ce although they have a subjective coloring Cf Lendle Einfuumlhrung 192ndash194

In his debate with the so-called mimetic historiography of a Duris of Samos (born 330 BCE)35 and the related pathetic historiography (eg Phylarchus)36 as well as with the apodictic historiography of a Hieronymus of Cardia (thirdsecond century)37 Polybius propagates a presentation which concentrates on the relevant historical questions He attacks rhetorical and dramatizing elements in historiography and coins the concept of pragmatic historiography Its methodological approach (the examination of written sources ldquoautopsyrdquo political action cf 1225e1) is already found in Herodotus and Th ucydides38 Unlike tragedy history is interested in ldquotruth and usefulness to the readerrdquo39 Th rough this apodictic interest Polybius establishes a demar-cation line vis-agrave-vis the pathetic historiography of Phylarchus (cf 25611ndash12) Historiography has practical and moral goals (112)40 Polybius sees its purpose as ldquocontributing to the ability to actrdquo in the political and military spheres (3593ndash5 1281 16143ndash10 etc)41 In general therefore we fi nd a basic moralizing and pragmatizing trait in the various types of Hellenistic historiography

16 Refl ections in Classical Antiquity on the Th eory and Methodof Historiography

Scattered ldquomethodological observationsrdquo are found in the works of the ancient historians42 especially when they discuss the exordium43 For example Livy speaks critically of the relationship between historiogra-phy and poetry44 A number of theoretical discussions of the essence signifi cance and function of historiography had a decisive infl uence on the form of historiographical works In his conception of literary composition Aristotle defi nes history as a chance narrative of events (Poet 91451b) Since poetry communicates what could happen accord-ing to the rules of probability and necessity (καὶ τὰ δυνατὰ κατὰ τὸ εἰκὸς ἢ τὸ ἀναγκαῖον) it is ldquomore philosophicalrdquo and more signifi cant than historiography (διὸ καὶ φιλοσοφώτερον καὶ σπουδαιότερον ποίησις ἱστορίας ἐστίν 1451a and b) Historiography inquires into what is specifi c whereas poetry inquires into what is general (καθόλου)

Cicerorsquos discussion refl ects the historiographical theories of the late Roman Republic He understands history as magistra vitae vita memo-riae and lux veritatis (Orat 236) and as munus oratoris maximum (Orat 262)45 Contrary to the Roman tradition of the annales maximi which was meant only to preserve the memory of places times human persons and deeds Cicero favors a rhetorically shaped form of histo-riography which is comparable to the Greek tradition (Orat 251ndash53 Leg 16ndash8) In the Flavian period which brings a ldquoclassicistic reac-tionrdquo46 Quintilian gives us glimpses of the historiographical theories of the Imperial period (Orat Inst 10131)47 He posits a close relation-

ship between historiography and poetry historiography does not prove but narrates in a literary form not bound by the rules of metre ( quodam modo carmen solutum est et scribitur ad narrandum non ad probandum) ldquoTh is makes it clear that Quintilian wishes to see an even stronger link between historiography and poetry than did Cicerordquo48 Quintilian is not the only one who takes this approach he refl ects the increased blurring of the distinction between historiography and poetry that we fi nd in the Roman literature of the early Imperial period49 Tacitus emphasizes the moral and ethical character of historiography He sets out his understanding of the praecipuum munus annalium of history at Ann 365 ldquoTh e passage states fi rst what historyrsquos role should be in respect to good behaviour and second what the purpose is in recording instances of bad behaviourrdquo50

Refl ection on history in the sense of the elaboration of a technical ars historica is found only in Lucian51 who composed the only ldquosys-tematic monograph on historiographyrdquo52 that has survived from the classical period He addresses his methodological linguistic and sub-stantial demands to the historianmdashdemands that are directed against the customary historiography of contemporary imperial military cam-paigns which were nothing other than exaggerated panegyrics Lucian defi nes the distinction between poetry and history by saying that a poet is driven by a deity and by the Muses and is therefore permitted to relate incredible things (Hc 8) Th e following aspects must also be borne in mind when one writes historical works the historian is wri-ting for the instruction of posterity (Hc 40f) and this means that the purpose of history is to be of service by presenting the truth (Hc 8) Th e historianrsquos task is to present factual matters (Hc 38ndash39) A good historian needs political acumen and skill in presentation (Hc 34) Th e facts must be well chosen and critically evaluated they should be based primarily on things one has personally witnessed or on the

testimony of credible witnesses (Hc 47) Th e historian must begin by drawing up an outline of his presentation which he then fi lls in with details (Hc 48) Th e style should be generally comprehensible and simple (Hc 43ndash45) Th e course of the narrative should be related briefl y and precisely (Hc 50 56ndash57) An historical work needs no preface a short summary of its contents is suffi cient (Hc 52) In these refl ections Lucian gives an interesting insight into the ancient theory about the production and reception of historiography and into the evaluation of the literary genre of ldquohistoryrdquo in classical antiquity

17 Th emes and Forms of Early Jewish Historiography

Jewish Hellenistic historiography53 aims both at assimilation and at the preservation of the identity of the historiographical themes and forms of an Old Testament and Jewish character in the context of the mixed Hellenistic cultures Early Jewish historiography thus lives in the ten-sion between assimilation and the preservation of identity54 Th e dias-pora Jews who had largely lost their knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic established a historiography in Greek Jewish Hellenistic his-toriography displays not only linguistic but also formal infl uence on the part of Greek historiography For example 1 Maccabees contains some elements such as the ethnographical chapter about Rome which are related to Greek historiography Th is book is based on various written sources including letters and documents which the author may have consulted in an archive in Jerusalem His presentation also relies on legendary and oral traditions55 2 Maccabees ldquoresembles much more strongly the popular Greek historiography with its pronounced love of miracles and remarkable eventsrdquo56 2 Maccabees ldquoas a work of

the pathetic and rhetorical historiography which aimed at great dra-matic eff ects and was dominant in Hellenismrdquo conforms completely to ldquocontemporary Greek historiography Indeed 2 Maccabees is the only work of this genre which has survived in its entiretyrdquo57 Th e his-toriographer Flavius Josephus writing in the early Imperial period follows even more directly the forms and elements of Greek historiography

Despite linguistic and cultural processes of adaptation ie the use of the Greek language and the consequences this had for early Jewish literature and historiography58 the literary products of Jewish Hellenistic historiography nevertheless largely preserve their own spe-cifi c character Religious aspects play a central role here59 as does the fact that there was little interest in individual historical themes and in history in general in Israel and especially in Diaspora Judaism in the second century BCE with the exception of the Maccabean confl icts60 Instead of writing a continuous history of contemporary events bibli-cal traditions are elaborated into contemporary narratives61 (cf

Artapanus)62 Th is is why it is diffi cult to defi ne the specifi c genre of the early Jewish historiographical writings and thus to demarcate them vis-agrave-vis the rest of early Jewish literature63 Historical themes are given an arbitrary literary form in other areas of early Jewish literature which are not counted among the ldquohistorical writingsrdquo in the broader sense (prophecy apocalyptic sapiential literature) Th ese historical themes can be understood only against the background of the prophetic-apocalyptic coding (eg Dan 12) or of sapiential instruction (Sirach)64 and are thus accessible only to specifi c groups

Among the surviving Jewish Hellenistic historical works we must distinguish between (a) those that have survived intact (1 Esdras 1ndash3 Maccabees) and were included in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate canon and (b) the mostly brief fragments of historical works which survive only in compilations by later writers Eusebius (especially in Praeparatio evangelica 9) Clement of Alexandria and Josephus were not the fi rst to transmit fragments of the Jewish Hellenistic historiog-raphers this had been done earlier by the Hellenistic historiographer L Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor (born 105 BCE) in his work On the Jews65 Th e fragments refer to writers who are orthonymous but about whom scarcely any historical information survives references to anonymous authors (Ps-Eupolemus) or pseudepigraphical writers (Ps-Hecataeus) are less frequent Nevertheless there is a tendency in

2 Tendencies and Representatives of the Historiography of the Early Imperial Period

21 Basic Questions

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

Roman historiography became more important than Greek histori-ography from the fi rst century BCE onwards In the Augustan period the literature related to the Imperium Romanummdashespecially poetry but also historiographymdashwas produced in an affi rmative or critical

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

76 ldquoTh e normative view of the exemplary knowledge of tradition indeed of a value untouched by change (auctoritas) gave the historians (Livy Sallust Tacitus) the free-dom to combine and make a stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation in order to write persuasively forms drawn from oratory literature and dialectics such as narrative description argumentation dramatization fi ctitious speech the narrative of events commentaries aphorismsrdquo Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

109 Cf Landfester Geschichte 201 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 242ndash244110 Cf Landfester Geschichte 215ndash216 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 239ndash241111 Cf Landfester Geschichte 424ndash425 Gall Literatur 151ndash153112 Cf Landfester Geschichte 213113 For an exemplary study of the question of the social status of Josephus cf G W

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

116 Cf table (3) On this cf also P W van der Horst ldquoPhilorsquos In Flaccum and the Book of Actsrdquo in idem Jews and Christians in Th eir Graeco-Roman Context Selected Essays on Early Judaism Samaritanism Hellenism and Christianity WUNT 196 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2006) 98ndash107 and in general cf also Schuumlrer History 859ndash864

1810 eve-marie becker

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

117 Cf G E Lessing ldquoTh eses aus der Kirchengeschichterdquo in idem Werke und Briefe in zwoumllf Baumlnden 8 Werke 1774ndash1778 ed A Schilson (Frankfurt Deutscher Klassiker Verlag 1989) 619ndash627 idem Neue Hypothese uumlber die Evangelisten als bloszlig mensch-liche Geschichtsschreiber betrachtet Wolfenbuumlttel 1778 in Werke und Briefe 8629ndash654

120 Cf D Dormeyer and H Frankemoumllle ldquoEvangelium als literarische Gattung und als theologischer Begriff Tendenzen und Aufgaben der Evangelienforschung im 20 Jahrhundert mit einer Untersuchung des Markusevangeliums in seinem Verhaumlltnis zur antiken Biographierdquo ANRW II 252 (1984) 1543ndash1704 Dormeyer Markusevan-gelium 1666ndash1668

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

129 Cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 362ndash364130 Cf eg M Dibelius ldquoDie Reden der Apostelgeschichte und die antike Geschichts-

schreibungrdquo (1949) in idem Aufsaumltze zur Apostelgeschichte ed H Greeven 5th edFRLANT 42 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1968) 120ndash162

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

142 On this overview cf Becker ldquoAutobiographischesrdquo 82ndash83143 Cf G Minois Geschichte der Zukunft Orakel Prophezeiungen Utopien Progno-

sen (Duumlsseldorf and Zurich Artemis and Winkler 1998)144 On this cf P Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-

kryphen 2 491ndash515 esp at 495ndash497145 Cf Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 525ndash527 On the special question of

the historicaltemporal dimensions of the Apocalypse of John cf D E Aune Revela-tion 1ndash5 WBC 52A (Dallas Word Books 1997) lxxxivndashlxxxv

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

150 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Buch des Th omasrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 192ndash198

A second diff erentiation is necessary at this point Th e macro-genre of historiographymdashie historiography in the broader sensemdashencom-passes a variety of individual forms and genres including historiogra-phy in the narrower sense How can we defi ne historiography in the broader sense and historiography in the narrower sense Where does the line of demarcation run One possible diff erentiating defi nition affi rms that historiography in the broader sense includes those prose texts which are concerned in various individual genres and forms with the presentation of historical themes and events (eg as biography autobiography monograph ethnography) while historiography in the narrower sense (following Hubert Cancik) designates an ldquoespecially highly developed form of historiographyrdquo21 which must be distin-guished specifi cally from biographical and autobiographical forms etc22

14 Defi ning the Distinctions between Historiography Biography and Autobiography

We shall now look in greater detail at the diff erentiation between his-toriography in the narrower sense and biography23 We must fi rst of all locate the phenomenon of biographical literature in the context of his-tory in general and specifi cally of cultural history since the growing importance of biographical literature has historical and political rea-sons ldquoWith the decline of the city states and the rise of the monar-chies the reign of a ruler became the natural unit of time of political history historiography became increasingly biographicalrdquo24 It is thus scarcely possible to use the self-understanding of the authors as a cri-terion for distinguishing between historiographical and biographical literature For example those who told the story of Alexander cer-tainly understood themselves as historians since the object of their work was the personality and the activity of Alexander as a theme

belonging to the history of events and to history in general (eg Cleit-archus of Alexandria FGrHist 137)25

At the same time however steps were taken already in antiquity to distinguish between historiography and biography26 For example Polybius calls the bios as ἐγκωμιαστικός (cf 25611 10218) His intention is αὔξησις whereas history seeks the truth Plutarch (Alex 1 and frequently) explicitly wishes to write ldquohistoryrdquo in the form of βίος since his intention is to portray the character of the human person (τὰ τῆς ψυχῆς σημεῖα) ie ἀρετή and κακία Even in the so-called apodictic historiography which makes use of the bio-graphical excursus the distinction between historiography and biog-raphy is preserved27 In Roman literature too the distinction between historiographical writings in the narrower sense and biographical writ-ings (which included the literature of the exitus illustrium virorum) was maintained at least until the third or fourth century (cf eg Pliny Ep 8124 553)28

Finally autobiographical forms (hupomnecircmata and commentarii) are related to biographical literature29 Aratus of Sicyon (ca 271ndash213 BCE) is known as one of the earliest authors of hupomnecircmata in the

Hellenistic period (cf FGrHist 231)30 Autobiographical forms received a tremendous impetus in the sphere of Roman literature above all in the transition from the Roman Republic to the principate thanks to the prominent works by Julius Caesar (Commentarii)31 and Augustus (res gestaeMonumentum Ancyranum)32 From the Hellenistic period onwards experts in rhetoric ldquostudied the form of the older historio-graphy in order to determine the canon and to distinguish be-tween history biography and antiquarian studiesrdquo33

15 Types and Modes of Hellenistic Historiography

Hellenistic historiography displays a variety of literary types and modes which allow us to see something of the intellectual world and the rhetorical-literary schooling of the historiographers We shall therefore give a brief description of some of these eg the rhetorical-rhetoricizing the mimetic the apodictic and the pragmatic historiography

In the rhetorical historiography the historical discourse takes the form of narration and argumentation and the tradition possesses authority Th e aim of historiography is to facilitate correct evaluations and decisions in the contemporary confl icts In the fi rst century BCE Roman historiography is infl uenced by the Hellenistic-Peripatetic rhe-torical historiography in the way in which it copes with the contem-porary political crises An important factor in the increase in the rhetorical tendencies of Roman historiography was the rhetoricization of historical narration which was demanded especially by Cicero (Orat 254ndash56)34

30 To a large extent his writings can be regarded as unfalsifi ed and devoid of liter-ary artifi ce although they have a subjective coloring Cf Lendle Einfuumlhrung 192ndash194

In his debate with the so-called mimetic historiography of a Duris of Samos (born 330 BCE)35 and the related pathetic historiography (eg Phylarchus)36 as well as with the apodictic historiography of a Hieronymus of Cardia (thirdsecond century)37 Polybius propagates a presentation which concentrates on the relevant historical questions He attacks rhetorical and dramatizing elements in historiography and coins the concept of pragmatic historiography Its methodological approach (the examination of written sources ldquoautopsyrdquo political action cf 1225e1) is already found in Herodotus and Th ucydides38 Unlike tragedy history is interested in ldquotruth and usefulness to the readerrdquo39 Th rough this apodictic interest Polybius establishes a demar-cation line vis-agrave-vis the pathetic historiography of Phylarchus (cf 25611ndash12) Historiography has practical and moral goals (112)40 Polybius sees its purpose as ldquocontributing to the ability to actrdquo in the political and military spheres (3593ndash5 1281 16143ndash10 etc)41 In general therefore we fi nd a basic moralizing and pragmatizing trait in the various types of Hellenistic historiography

16 Refl ections in Classical Antiquity on the Th eory and Methodof Historiography

Scattered ldquomethodological observationsrdquo are found in the works of the ancient historians42 especially when they discuss the exordium43 For example Livy speaks critically of the relationship between historiogra-phy and poetry44 A number of theoretical discussions of the essence signifi cance and function of historiography had a decisive infl uence on the form of historiographical works In his conception of literary composition Aristotle defi nes history as a chance narrative of events (Poet 91451b) Since poetry communicates what could happen accord-ing to the rules of probability and necessity (καὶ τὰ δυνατὰ κατὰ τὸ εἰκὸς ἢ τὸ ἀναγκαῖον) it is ldquomore philosophicalrdquo and more signifi cant than historiography (διὸ καὶ φιλοσοφώτερον καὶ σπουδαιότερον ποίησις ἱστορίας ἐστίν 1451a and b) Historiography inquires into what is specifi c whereas poetry inquires into what is general (καθόλου)

Cicerorsquos discussion refl ects the historiographical theories of the late Roman Republic He understands history as magistra vitae vita memo-riae and lux veritatis (Orat 236) and as munus oratoris maximum (Orat 262)45 Contrary to the Roman tradition of the annales maximi which was meant only to preserve the memory of places times human persons and deeds Cicero favors a rhetorically shaped form of histo-riography which is comparable to the Greek tradition (Orat 251ndash53 Leg 16ndash8) In the Flavian period which brings a ldquoclassicistic reac-tionrdquo46 Quintilian gives us glimpses of the historiographical theories of the Imperial period (Orat Inst 10131)47 He posits a close relation-

ship between historiography and poetry historiography does not prove but narrates in a literary form not bound by the rules of metre ( quodam modo carmen solutum est et scribitur ad narrandum non ad probandum) ldquoTh is makes it clear that Quintilian wishes to see an even stronger link between historiography and poetry than did Cicerordquo48 Quintilian is not the only one who takes this approach he refl ects the increased blurring of the distinction between historiography and poetry that we fi nd in the Roman literature of the early Imperial period49 Tacitus emphasizes the moral and ethical character of historiography He sets out his understanding of the praecipuum munus annalium of history at Ann 365 ldquoTh e passage states fi rst what historyrsquos role should be in respect to good behaviour and second what the purpose is in recording instances of bad behaviourrdquo50

Refl ection on history in the sense of the elaboration of a technical ars historica is found only in Lucian51 who composed the only ldquosys-tematic monograph on historiographyrdquo52 that has survived from the classical period He addresses his methodological linguistic and sub-stantial demands to the historianmdashdemands that are directed against the customary historiography of contemporary imperial military cam-paigns which were nothing other than exaggerated panegyrics Lucian defi nes the distinction between poetry and history by saying that a poet is driven by a deity and by the Muses and is therefore permitted to relate incredible things (Hc 8) Th e following aspects must also be borne in mind when one writes historical works the historian is wri-ting for the instruction of posterity (Hc 40f) and this means that the purpose of history is to be of service by presenting the truth (Hc 8) Th e historianrsquos task is to present factual matters (Hc 38ndash39) A good historian needs political acumen and skill in presentation (Hc 34) Th e facts must be well chosen and critically evaluated they should be based primarily on things one has personally witnessed or on the

17 Th emes and Forms of Early Jewish Historiography

Jewish Hellenistic historiography53 aims both at assimilation and at the preservation of the identity of the historiographical themes and forms of an Old Testament and Jewish character in the context of the mixed Hellenistic cultures Early Jewish historiography thus lives in the ten-sion between assimilation and the preservation of identity54 Th e dias-pora Jews who had largely lost their knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic established a historiography in Greek Jewish Hellenistic his-toriography displays not only linguistic but also formal infl uence on the part of Greek historiography For example 1 Maccabees contains some elements such as the ethnographical chapter about Rome which are related to Greek historiography Th is book is based on various written sources including letters and documents which the author may have consulted in an archive in Jerusalem His presentation also relies on legendary and oral traditions55 2 Maccabees ldquoresembles much more strongly the popular Greek historiography with its pronounced love of miracles and remarkable eventsrdquo56 2 Maccabees ldquoas a work of

the pathetic and rhetorical historiography which aimed at great dra-matic eff ects and was dominant in Hellenismrdquo conforms completely to ldquocontemporary Greek historiography Indeed 2 Maccabees is the only work of this genre which has survived in its entiretyrdquo57 Th e his-toriographer Flavius Josephus writing in the early Imperial period follows even more directly the forms and elements of Greek historiography

Despite linguistic and cultural processes of adaptation ie the use of the Greek language and the consequences this had for early Jewish literature and historiography58 the literary products of Jewish Hellenistic historiography nevertheless largely preserve their own spe-cifi c character Religious aspects play a central role here59 as does the fact that there was little interest in individual historical themes and in history in general in Israel and especially in Diaspora Judaism in the second century BCE with the exception of the Maccabean confl icts60 Instead of writing a continuous history of contemporary events bibli-cal traditions are elaborated into contemporary narratives61 (cf

Artapanus)62 Th is is why it is diffi cult to defi ne the specifi c genre of the early Jewish historiographical writings and thus to demarcate them vis-agrave-vis the rest of early Jewish literature63 Historical themes are given an arbitrary literary form in other areas of early Jewish literature which are not counted among the ldquohistorical writingsrdquo in the broader sense (prophecy apocalyptic sapiential literature) Th ese historical themes can be understood only against the background of the prophetic-apocalyptic coding (eg Dan 12) or of sapiential instruction (Sirach)64 and are thus accessible only to specifi c groups

Among the surviving Jewish Hellenistic historical works we must distinguish between (a) those that have survived intact (1 Esdras 1ndash3 Maccabees) and were included in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate canon and (b) the mostly brief fragments of historical works which survive only in compilations by later writers Eusebius (especially in Praeparatio evangelica 9) Clement of Alexandria and Josephus were not the fi rst to transmit fragments of the Jewish Hellenistic historiog-raphers this had been done earlier by the Hellenistic historiographer L Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor (born 105 BCE) in his work On the Jews65 Th e fragments refer to writers who are orthonymous but about whom scarcely any historical information survives references to anonymous authors (Ps-Eupolemus) or pseudepigraphical writers (Ps-Hecataeus) are less frequent Nevertheless there is a tendency in

Jewish literature for authors to remain anonymous We fi nd the phe-nomenon of orthonymous authorship fi rst in Sirach and Martin Hengel has emphasized that this is connected with the ldquodiscovery of the individuality of the authorrdquo in the ldquoHellenistic periodrdquo66 (c) Josephus represents an independent type of historiographical litera-ture which must be evaluated in the context of Hellenistic Roman historiography

2 Tendencies and Representatives of the Historiography of the Early Imperial Period

21 Basic Questions

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

Roman historiography became more important than Greek histori-ography from the fi rst century BCE onwards In the Augustan period the literature related to the Imperium Romanummdashespecially poetry but also historiographymdashwas produced in an affi rmative or critical

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

76 ldquoTh e normative view of the exemplary knowledge of tradition indeed of a value untouched by change (auctoritas) gave the historians (Livy Sallust Tacitus) the free-dom to combine and make a stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation in order to write persuasively forms drawn from oratory literature and dialectics such as narrative description argumentation dramatization fi ctitious speech the narrative of events commentaries aphorismsrdquo Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

77 With regard to Tacitus cf the presentation by D Flach Tacitus in der Tradition der antiken Geschichtsschreibung Hyp 39 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht 1973) 14ndash16

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

109 Cf Landfester Geschichte 201 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 242ndash244110 Cf Landfester Geschichte 215ndash216 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 239ndash241111 Cf Landfester Geschichte 424ndash425 Gall Literatur 151ndash153112 Cf Landfester Geschichte 213113 For an exemplary study of the question of the social status of Josephus cf G W

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

116 Cf table (3) On this cf also P W van der Horst ldquoPhilorsquos In Flaccum and the Book of Actsrdquo in idem Jews and Christians in Th eir Graeco-Roman Context Selected Essays on Early Judaism Samaritanism Hellenism and Christianity WUNT 196 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2006) 98ndash107 and in general cf also Schuumlrer History 859ndash864

1810 eve-marie becker

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

117 Cf G E Lessing ldquoTh eses aus der Kirchengeschichterdquo in idem Werke und Briefe in zwoumllf Baumlnden 8 Werke 1774ndash1778 ed A Schilson (Frankfurt Deutscher Klassiker Verlag 1989) 619ndash627 idem Neue Hypothese uumlber die Evangelisten als bloszlig mensch-liche Geschichtsschreiber betrachtet Wolfenbuumlttel 1778 in Werke und Briefe 8629ndash654

120 Cf D Dormeyer and H Frankemoumllle ldquoEvangelium als literarische Gattung und als theologischer Begriff Tendenzen und Aufgaben der Evangelienforschung im 20 Jahrhundert mit einer Untersuchung des Markusevangeliums in seinem Verhaumlltnis zur antiken Biographierdquo ANRW II 252 (1984) 1543ndash1704 Dormeyer Markusevan-gelium 1666ndash1668

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

129 Cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 362ndash364130 Cf eg M Dibelius ldquoDie Reden der Apostelgeschichte und die antike Geschichts-

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

150 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Buch des Th omasrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 192ndash198

belonging to the history of events and to history in general (eg Cleit-archus of Alexandria FGrHist 137)25

At the same time however steps were taken already in antiquity to distinguish between historiography and biography26 For example Polybius calls the bios as ἐγκωμιαστικός (cf 25611 10218) His intention is αὔξησις whereas history seeks the truth Plutarch (Alex 1 and frequently) explicitly wishes to write ldquohistoryrdquo in the form of βίος since his intention is to portray the character of the human person (τὰ τῆς ψυχῆς σημεῖα) ie ἀρετή and κακία Even in the so-called apodictic historiography which makes use of the bio-graphical excursus the distinction between historiography and biog-raphy is preserved27 In Roman literature too the distinction between historiographical writings in the narrower sense and biographical writ-ings (which included the literature of the exitus illustrium virorum) was maintained at least until the third or fourth century (cf eg Pliny Ep 8124 553)28

Finally autobiographical forms (hupomnecircmata and commentarii) are related to biographical literature29 Aratus of Sicyon (ca 271ndash213 BCE) is known as one of the earliest authors of hupomnecircmata in the

Hellenistic period (cf FGrHist 231)30 Autobiographical forms received a tremendous impetus in the sphere of Roman literature above all in the transition from the Roman Republic to the principate thanks to the prominent works by Julius Caesar (Commentarii)31 and Augustus (res gestaeMonumentum Ancyranum)32 From the Hellenistic period onwards experts in rhetoric ldquostudied the form of the older historio-graphy in order to determine the canon and to distinguish be-tween history biography and antiquarian studiesrdquo33

15 Types and Modes of Hellenistic Historiography

Hellenistic historiography displays a variety of literary types and modes which allow us to see something of the intellectual world and the rhetorical-literary schooling of the historiographers We shall therefore give a brief description of some of these eg the rhetorical-rhetoricizing the mimetic the apodictic and the pragmatic historiography

In the rhetorical historiography the historical discourse takes the form of narration and argumentation and the tradition possesses authority Th e aim of historiography is to facilitate correct evaluations and decisions in the contemporary confl icts In the fi rst century BCE Roman historiography is infl uenced by the Hellenistic-Peripatetic rhe-torical historiography in the way in which it copes with the contem-porary political crises An important factor in the increase in the rhetorical tendencies of Roman historiography was the rhetoricization of historical narration which was demanded especially by Cicero (Orat 254ndash56)34

30 To a large extent his writings can be regarded as unfalsifi ed and devoid of liter-ary artifi ce although they have a subjective coloring Cf Lendle Einfuumlhrung 192ndash194

In his debate with the so-called mimetic historiography of a Duris of Samos (born 330 BCE)35 and the related pathetic historiography (eg Phylarchus)36 as well as with the apodictic historiography of a Hieronymus of Cardia (thirdsecond century)37 Polybius propagates a presentation which concentrates on the relevant historical questions He attacks rhetorical and dramatizing elements in historiography and coins the concept of pragmatic historiography Its methodological approach (the examination of written sources ldquoautopsyrdquo political action cf 1225e1) is already found in Herodotus and Th ucydides38 Unlike tragedy history is interested in ldquotruth and usefulness to the readerrdquo39 Th rough this apodictic interest Polybius establishes a demar-cation line vis-agrave-vis the pathetic historiography of Phylarchus (cf 25611ndash12) Historiography has practical and moral goals (112)40 Polybius sees its purpose as ldquocontributing to the ability to actrdquo in the political and military spheres (3593ndash5 1281 16143ndash10 etc)41 In general therefore we fi nd a basic moralizing and pragmatizing trait in the various types of Hellenistic historiography

16 Refl ections in Classical Antiquity on the Th eory and Methodof Historiography

Scattered ldquomethodological observationsrdquo are found in the works of the ancient historians42 especially when they discuss the exordium43 For example Livy speaks critically of the relationship between historiogra-phy and poetry44 A number of theoretical discussions of the essence signifi cance and function of historiography had a decisive infl uence on the form of historiographical works In his conception of literary composition Aristotle defi nes history as a chance narrative of events (Poet 91451b) Since poetry communicates what could happen accord-ing to the rules of probability and necessity (καὶ τὰ δυνατὰ κατὰ τὸ εἰκὸς ἢ τὸ ἀναγκαῖον) it is ldquomore philosophicalrdquo and more signifi cant than historiography (διὸ καὶ φιλοσοφώτερον καὶ σπουδαιότερον ποίησις ἱστορίας ἐστίν 1451a and b) Historiography inquires into what is specifi c whereas poetry inquires into what is general (καθόλου)

Cicerorsquos discussion refl ects the historiographical theories of the late Roman Republic He understands history as magistra vitae vita memo-riae and lux veritatis (Orat 236) and as munus oratoris maximum (Orat 262)45 Contrary to the Roman tradition of the annales maximi which was meant only to preserve the memory of places times human persons and deeds Cicero favors a rhetorically shaped form of histo-riography which is comparable to the Greek tradition (Orat 251ndash53 Leg 16ndash8) In the Flavian period which brings a ldquoclassicistic reac-tionrdquo46 Quintilian gives us glimpses of the historiographical theories of the Imperial period (Orat Inst 10131)47 He posits a close relation-

ship between historiography and poetry historiography does not prove but narrates in a literary form not bound by the rules of metre ( quodam modo carmen solutum est et scribitur ad narrandum non ad probandum) ldquoTh is makes it clear that Quintilian wishes to see an even stronger link between historiography and poetry than did Cicerordquo48 Quintilian is not the only one who takes this approach he refl ects the increased blurring of the distinction between historiography and poetry that we fi nd in the Roman literature of the early Imperial period49 Tacitus emphasizes the moral and ethical character of historiography He sets out his understanding of the praecipuum munus annalium of history at Ann 365 ldquoTh e passage states fi rst what historyrsquos role should be in respect to good behaviour and second what the purpose is in recording instances of bad behaviourrdquo50

Refl ection on history in the sense of the elaboration of a technical ars historica is found only in Lucian51 who composed the only ldquosys-tematic monograph on historiographyrdquo52 that has survived from the classical period He addresses his methodological linguistic and sub-stantial demands to the historianmdashdemands that are directed against the customary historiography of contemporary imperial military cam-paigns which were nothing other than exaggerated panegyrics Lucian defi nes the distinction between poetry and history by saying that a poet is driven by a deity and by the Muses and is therefore permitted to relate incredible things (Hc 8) Th e following aspects must also be borne in mind when one writes historical works the historian is wri-ting for the instruction of posterity (Hc 40f) and this means that the purpose of history is to be of service by presenting the truth (Hc 8) Th e historianrsquos task is to present factual matters (Hc 38ndash39) A good historian needs political acumen and skill in presentation (Hc 34) Th e facts must be well chosen and critically evaluated they should be based primarily on things one has personally witnessed or on the

17 Th emes and Forms of Early Jewish Historiography

Jewish Hellenistic historiography53 aims both at assimilation and at the preservation of the identity of the historiographical themes and forms of an Old Testament and Jewish character in the context of the mixed Hellenistic cultures Early Jewish historiography thus lives in the ten-sion between assimilation and the preservation of identity54 Th e dias-pora Jews who had largely lost their knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic established a historiography in Greek Jewish Hellenistic his-toriography displays not only linguistic but also formal infl uence on the part of Greek historiography For example 1 Maccabees contains some elements such as the ethnographical chapter about Rome which are related to Greek historiography Th is book is based on various written sources including letters and documents which the author may have consulted in an archive in Jerusalem His presentation also relies on legendary and oral traditions55 2 Maccabees ldquoresembles much more strongly the popular Greek historiography with its pronounced love of miracles and remarkable eventsrdquo56 2 Maccabees ldquoas a work of

Despite linguistic and cultural processes of adaptation ie the use of the Greek language and the consequences this had for early Jewish literature and historiography58 the literary products of Jewish Hellenistic historiography nevertheless largely preserve their own spe-cifi c character Religious aspects play a central role here59 as does the fact that there was little interest in individual historical themes and in history in general in Israel and especially in Diaspora Judaism in the second century BCE with the exception of the Maccabean confl icts60 Instead of writing a continuous history of contemporary events bibli-cal traditions are elaborated into contemporary narratives61 (cf

Artapanus)62 Th is is why it is diffi cult to defi ne the specifi c genre of the early Jewish historiographical writings and thus to demarcate them vis-agrave-vis the rest of early Jewish literature63 Historical themes are given an arbitrary literary form in other areas of early Jewish literature which are not counted among the ldquohistorical writingsrdquo in the broader sense (prophecy apocalyptic sapiential literature) Th ese historical themes can be understood only against the background of the prophetic-apocalyptic coding (eg Dan 12) or of sapiential instruction (Sirach)64 and are thus accessible only to specifi c groups

Among the surviving Jewish Hellenistic historical works we must distinguish between (a) those that have survived intact (1 Esdras 1ndash3 Maccabees) and were included in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate canon and (b) the mostly brief fragments of historical works which survive only in compilations by later writers Eusebius (especially in Praeparatio evangelica 9) Clement of Alexandria and Josephus were not the fi rst to transmit fragments of the Jewish Hellenistic historiog-raphers this had been done earlier by the Hellenistic historiographer L Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor (born 105 BCE) in his work On the Jews65 Th e fragments refer to writers who are orthonymous but about whom scarcely any historical information survives references to anonymous authors (Ps-Eupolemus) or pseudepigraphical writers (Ps-Hecataeus) are less frequent Nevertheless there is a tendency in

Jewish literature for authors to remain anonymous We fi nd the phe-nomenon of orthonymous authorship fi rst in Sirach and Martin Hengel has emphasized that this is connected with the ldquodiscovery of the individuality of the authorrdquo in the ldquoHellenistic periodrdquo66 (c) Josephus represents an independent type of historiographical litera-ture which must be evaluated in the context of Hellenistic Roman historiography

2 Tendencies and Representatives of the Historiography of the Early Imperial Period

21 Basic Questions

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

Roman historiography became more important than Greek histori-ography from the fi rst century BCE onwards In the Augustan period the literature related to the Imperium Romanummdashespecially poetry but also historiographymdashwas produced in an affi rmative or critical

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

70 ldquoTh e Augustan regime it seems did not attempt to dominate historical writing as it did poetryrdquo G B Conte Latin Literature A History (Baltimore Johns Hopkins University Press 1994) 369

72 On the commentarii literature of the early Imperial period cf J Wilkes ldquoJulio-Claudian Historiansrdquo CW 65 (1972) 177ndash203 at 181ndash183 R G Lewis ldquoImperial Autobiography Augustus to Hadrianrdquo ANRW II341 (1993) 629ndash706 On the HypomnemataCommentarii of Vespasian and Titus cf HRR 2108 and the references by Josephus Apion 156 Life 342 358 cf also Schuumlrer History 32ndash33 On the Hypomnemata of Herod the Great cf Josephus Ant 15174 and Schuumlrer History 26ndash27

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

828384858687888990

76 ldquoTh e normative view of the exemplary knowledge of tradition indeed of a value untouched by change (auctoritas) gave the historians (Livy Sallust Tacitus) the free-dom to combine and make a stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation in order to write persuasively forms drawn from oratory literature and dialectics such as narrative description argumentation dramatization fi ctitious speech the narrative of events commentaries aphorismsrdquo Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

77 With regard to Tacitus cf the presentation by D Flach Tacitus in der Tradition der antiken Geschichtsschreibung Hyp 39 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht 1973) 14ndash16

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

109 Cf Landfester Geschichte 201 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 242ndash244110 Cf Landfester Geschichte 215ndash216 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 239ndash241111 Cf Landfester Geschichte 424ndash425 Gall Literatur 151ndash153112 Cf Landfester Geschichte 213113 For an exemplary study of the question of the social status of Josephus cf G W

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

Hellenistic period (cf FGrHist 231)30 Autobiographical forms received a tremendous impetus in the sphere of Roman literature above all in the transition from the Roman Republic to the principate thanks to the prominent works by Julius Caesar (Commentarii)31 and Augustus (res gestaeMonumentum Ancyranum)32 From the Hellenistic period onwards experts in rhetoric ldquostudied the form of the older historio-graphy in order to determine the canon and to distinguish be-tween history biography and antiquarian studiesrdquo33

15 Types and Modes of Hellenistic Historiography

Hellenistic historiography displays a variety of literary types and modes which allow us to see something of the intellectual world and the rhetorical-literary schooling of the historiographers We shall therefore give a brief description of some of these eg the rhetorical-rhetoricizing the mimetic the apodictic and the pragmatic historiography

In the rhetorical historiography the historical discourse takes the form of narration and argumentation and the tradition possesses authority Th e aim of historiography is to facilitate correct evaluations and decisions in the contemporary confl icts In the fi rst century BCE Roman historiography is infl uenced by the Hellenistic-Peripatetic rhe-torical historiography in the way in which it copes with the contem-porary political crises An important factor in the increase in the rhetorical tendencies of Roman historiography was the rhetoricization of historical narration which was demanded especially by Cicero (Orat 254ndash56)34

30 To a large extent his writings can be regarded as unfalsifi ed and devoid of liter-ary artifi ce although they have a subjective coloring Cf Lendle Einfuumlhrung 192ndash194

In his debate with the so-called mimetic historiography of a Duris of Samos (born 330 BCE)35 and the related pathetic historiography (eg Phylarchus)36 as well as with the apodictic historiography of a Hieronymus of Cardia (thirdsecond century)37 Polybius propagates a presentation which concentrates on the relevant historical questions He attacks rhetorical and dramatizing elements in historiography and coins the concept of pragmatic historiography Its methodological approach (the examination of written sources ldquoautopsyrdquo political action cf 1225e1) is already found in Herodotus and Th ucydides38 Unlike tragedy history is interested in ldquotruth and usefulness to the readerrdquo39 Th rough this apodictic interest Polybius establishes a demar-cation line vis-agrave-vis the pathetic historiography of Phylarchus (cf 25611ndash12) Historiography has practical and moral goals (112)40 Polybius sees its purpose as ldquocontributing to the ability to actrdquo in the political and military spheres (3593ndash5 1281 16143ndash10 etc)41 In general therefore we fi nd a basic moralizing and pragmatizing trait in the various types of Hellenistic historiography

16 Refl ections in Classical Antiquity on the Th eory and Methodof Historiography

Scattered ldquomethodological observationsrdquo are found in the works of the ancient historians42 especially when they discuss the exordium43 For example Livy speaks critically of the relationship between historiogra-phy and poetry44 A number of theoretical discussions of the essence signifi cance and function of historiography had a decisive infl uence on the form of historiographical works In his conception of literary composition Aristotle defi nes history as a chance narrative of events (Poet 91451b) Since poetry communicates what could happen accord-ing to the rules of probability and necessity (καὶ τὰ δυνατὰ κατὰ τὸ εἰκὸς ἢ τὸ ἀναγκαῖον) it is ldquomore philosophicalrdquo and more signifi cant than historiography (διὸ καὶ φιλοσοφώτερον καὶ σπουδαιότερον ποίησις ἱστορίας ἐστίν 1451a and b) Historiography inquires into what is specifi c whereas poetry inquires into what is general (καθόλου)

Cicerorsquos discussion refl ects the historiographical theories of the late Roman Republic He understands history as magistra vitae vita memo-riae and lux veritatis (Orat 236) and as munus oratoris maximum (Orat 262)45 Contrary to the Roman tradition of the annales maximi which was meant only to preserve the memory of places times human persons and deeds Cicero favors a rhetorically shaped form of histo-riography which is comparable to the Greek tradition (Orat 251ndash53 Leg 16ndash8) In the Flavian period which brings a ldquoclassicistic reac-tionrdquo46 Quintilian gives us glimpses of the historiographical theories of the Imperial period (Orat Inst 10131)47 He posits a close relation-

ship between historiography and poetry historiography does not prove but narrates in a literary form not bound by the rules of metre ( quodam modo carmen solutum est et scribitur ad narrandum non ad probandum) ldquoTh is makes it clear that Quintilian wishes to see an even stronger link between historiography and poetry than did Cicerordquo48 Quintilian is not the only one who takes this approach he refl ects the increased blurring of the distinction between historiography and poetry that we fi nd in the Roman literature of the early Imperial period49 Tacitus emphasizes the moral and ethical character of historiography He sets out his understanding of the praecipuum munus annalium of history at Ann 365 ldquoTh e passage states fi rst what historyrsquos role should be in respect to good behaviour and second what the purpose is in recording instances of bad behaviourrdquo50

Refl ection on history in the sense of the elaboration of a technical ars historica is found only in Lucian51 who composed the only ldquosys-tematic monograph on historiographyrdquo52 that has survived from the classical period He addresses his methodological linguistic and sub-stantial demands to the historianmdashdemands that are directed against the customary historiography of contemporary imperial military cam-paigns which were nothing other than exaggerated panegyrics Lucian defi nes the distinction between poetry and history by saying that a poet is driven by a deity and by the Muses and is therefore permitted to relate incredible things (Hc 8) Th e following aspects must also be borne in mind when one writes historical works the historian is wri-ting for the instruction of posterity (Hc 40f) and this means that the purpose of history is to be of service by presenting the truth (Hc 8) Th e historianrsquos task is to present factual matters (Hc 38ndash39) A good historian needs political acumen and skill in presentation (Hc 34) Th e facts must be well chosen and critically evaluated they should be based primarily on things one has personally witnessed or on the

17 Th emes and Forms of Early Jewish Historiography

Jewish Hellenistic historiography53 aims both at assimilation and at the preservation of the identity of the historiographical themes and forms of an Old Testament and Jewish character in the context of the mixed Hellenistic cultures Early Jewish historiography thus lives in the ten-sion between assimilation and the preservation of identity54 Th e dias-pora Jews who had largely lost their knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic established a historiography in Greek Jewish Hellenistic his-toriography displays not only linguistic but also formal infl uence on the part of Greek historiography For example 1 Maccabees contains some elements such as the ethnographical chapter about Rome which are related to Greek historiography Th is book is based on various written sources including letters and documents which the author may have consulted in an archive in Jerusalem His presentation also relies on legendary and oral traditions55 2 Maccabees ldquoresembles much more strongly the popular Greek historiography with its pronounced love of miracles and remarkable eventsrdquo56 2 Maccabees ldquoas a work of

Despite linguistic and cultural processes of adaptation ie the use of the Greek language and the consequences this had for early Jewish literature and historiography58 the literary products of Jewish Hellenistic historiography nevertheless largely preserve their own spe-cifi c character Religious aspects play a central role here59 as does the fact that there was little interest in individual historical themes and in history in general in Israel and especially in Diaspora Judaism in the second century BCE with the exception of the Maccabean confl icts60 Instead of writing a continuous history of contemporary events bibli-cal traditions are elaborated into contemporary narratives61 (cf

Artapanus)62 Th is is why it is diffi cult to defi ne the specifi c genre of the early Jewish historiographical writings and thus to demarcate them vis-agrave-vis the rest of early Jewish literature63 Historical themes are given an arbitrary literary form in other areas of early Jewish literature which are not counted among the ldquohistorical writingsrdquo in the broader sense (prophecy apocalyptic sapiential literature) Th ese historical themes can be understood only against the background of the prophetic-apocalyptic coding (eg Dan 12) or of sapiential instruction (Sirach)64 and are thus accessible only to specifi c groups

Among the surviving Jewish Hellenistic historical works we must distinguish between (a) those that have survived intact (1 Esdras 1ndash3 Maccabees) and were included in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate canon and (b) the mostly brief fragments of historical works which survive only in compilations by later writers Eusebius (especially in Praeparatio evangelica 9) Clement of Alexandria and Josephus were not the fi rst to transmit fragments of the Jewish Hellenistic historiog-raphers this had been done earlier by the Hellenistic historiographer L Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor (born 105 BCE) in his work On the Jews65 Th e fragments refer to writers who are orthonymous but about whom scarcely any historical information survives references to anonymous authors (Ps-Eupolemus) or pseudepigraphical writers (Ps-Hecataeus) are less frequent Nevertheless there is a tendency in

historiographical literature in the new testament 1801

Jewish literature for authors to remain anonymous We fi nd the phe-nomenon of orthonymous authorship fi rst in Sirach and Martin Hengel has emphasized that this is connected with the ldquodiscovery of the individuality of the authorrdquo in the ldquoHellenistic periodrdquo66 (c) Josephus represents an independent type of historiographical litera-ture which must be evaluated in the context of Hellenistic Roman historiography

2 Tendencies and Representatives of the Historiography of the Early Imperial Period

21 Basic Questions

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

Roman historiography became more important than Greek histori-ography from the fi rst century BCE onwards In the Augustan period the literature related to the Imperium Romanummdashespecially poetry but also historiographymdashwas produced in an affi rmative or critical

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

70 ldquoTh e Augustan regime it seems did not attempt to dominate historical writing as it did poetryrdquo G B Conte Latin Literature A History (Baltimore Johns Hopkins University Press 1994) 369

71 Cf Conte Literature 251ndash253 On Augustan literature in general cf most recently the essays in Levine and Nelis Clio amp Th e Poets

72 On the commentarii literature of the early Imperial period cf J Wilkes ldquoJulio-Claudian Historiansrdquo CW 65 (1972) 177ndash203 at 181ndash183 R G Lewis ldquoImperial Autobiography Augustus to Hadrianrdquo ANRW II341 (1993) 629ndash706 On the HypomnemataCommentarii of Vespasian and Titus cf HRR 2108 and the references by Josephus Apion 156 Life 342 358 cf also Schuumlrer History 32ndash33 On the Hypomnemata of Herod the Great cf Josephus Ant 15174 and Schuumlrer History 26ndash27

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

828384858687888990

76 ldquoTh e normative view of the exemplary knowledge of tradition indeed of a value untouched by change (auctoritas) gave the historians (Livy Sallust Tacitus) the free-dom to combine and make a stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation in order to write persuasively forms drawn from oratory literature and dialectics such as narrative description argumentation dramatization fi ctitious speech the narrative of events commentaries aphorismsrdquo Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

77 With regard to Tacitus cf the presentation by D Flach Tacitus in der Tradition der antiken Geschichtsschreibung Hyp 39 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht 1973) 14ndash16

78 In general cf R Laqueur ldquoNikolaosrdquo RE 17 (1937) 362ndash42479 He is one of the Greek-speaking historians who ldquothemselves worked in Romerdquo in

increasing numbers from the late Republican period onward ldquoor at any rate were closely connected to the great men of Romerdquo A Dihle Die griechische und lateinische Literatur der Kaiserzeit Von Augustus bis Justinian (Muumlnchen C H Beck 1989) 153

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

In his debate with the so-called mimetic historiography of a Duris of Samos (born 330 BCE)35 and the related pathetic historiography (eg Phylarchus)36 as well as with the apodictic historiography of a Hieronymus of Cardia (thirdsecond century)37 Polybius propagates a presentation which concentrates on the relevant historical questions He attacks rhetorical and dramatizing elements in historiography and coins the concept of pragmatic historiography Its methodological approach (the examination of written sources ldquoautopsyrdquo political action cf 1225e1) is already found in Herodotus and Th ucydides38 Unlike tragedy history is interested in ldquotruth and usefulness to the readerrdquo39 Th rough this apodictic interest Polybius establishes a demar-cation line vis-agrave-vis the pathetic historiography of Phylarchus (cf 25611ndash12) Historiography has practical and moral goals (112)40 Polybius sees its purpose as ldquocontributing to the ability to actrdquo in the political and military spheres (3593ndash5 1281 16143ndash10 etc)41 In general therefore we fi nd a basic moralizing and pragmatizing trait in the various types of Hellenistic historiography

16 Refl ections in Classical Antiquity on the Th eory and Methodof Historiography

Scattered ldquomethodological observationsrdquo are found in the works of the ancient historians42 especially when they discuss the exordium43 For example Livy speaks critically of the relationship between historiogra-phy and poetry44 A number of theoretical discussions of the essence signifi cance and function of historiography had a decisive infl uence on the form of historiographical works In his conception of literary composition Aristotle defi nes history as a chance narrative of events (Poet 91451b) Since poetry communicates what could happen accord-ing to the rules of probability and necessity (καὶ τὰ δυνατὰ κατὰ τὸ εἰκὸς ἢ τὸ ἀναγκαῖον) it is ldquomore philosophicalrdquo and more signifi cant than historiography (διὸ καὶ φιλοσοφώτερον καὶ σπουδαιότερον ποίησις ἱστορίας ἐστίν 1451a and b) Historiography inquires into what is specifi c whereas poetry inquires into what is general (καθόλου)

Cicerorsquos discussion refl ects the historiographical theories of the late Roman Republic He understands history as magistra vitae vita memo-riae and lux veritatis (Orat 236) and as munus oratoris maximum (Orat 262)45 Contrary to the Roman tradition of the annales maximi which was meant only to preserve the memory of places times human persons and deeds Cicero favors a rhetorically shaped form of histo-riography which is comparable to the Greek tradition (Orat 251ndash53 Leg 16ndash8) In the Flavian period which brings a ldquoclassicistic reac-tionrdquo46 Quintilian gives us glimpses of the historiographical theories of the Imperial period (Orat Inst 10131)47 He posits a close relation-

ship between historiography and poetry historiography does not prove but narrates in a literary form not bound by the rules of metre ( quodam modo carmen solutum est et scribitur ad narrandum non ad probandum) ldquoTh is makes it clear that Quintilian wishes to see an even stronger link between historiography and poetry than did Cicerordquo48 Quintilian is not the only one who takes this approach he refl ects the increased blurring of the distinction between historiography and poetry that we fi nd in the Roman literature of the early Imperial period49 Tacitus emphasizes the moral and ethical character of historiography He sets out his understanding of the praecipuum munus annalium of history at Ann 365 ldquoTh e passage states fi rst what historyrsquos role should be in respect to good behaviour and second what the purpose is in recording instances of bad behaviourrdquo50

Refl ection on history in the sense of the elaboration of a technical ars historica is found only in Lucian51 who composed the only ldquosys-tematic monograph on historiographyrdquo52 that has survived from the classical period He addresses his methodological linguistic and sub-stantial demands to the historianmdashdemands that are directed against the customary historiography of contemporary imperial military cam-paigns which were nothing other than exaggerated panegyrics Lucian defi nes the distinction between poetry and history by saying that a poet is driven by a deity and by the Muses and is therefore permitted to relate incredible things (Hc 8) Th e following aspects must also be borne in mind when one writes historical works the historian is wri-ting for the instruction of posterity (Hc 40f) and this means that the purpose of history is to be of service by presenting the truth (Hc 8) Th e historianrsquos task is to present factual matters (Hc 38ndash39) A good historian needs political acumen and skill in presentation (Hc 34) Th e facts must be well chosen and critically evaluated they should be based primarily on things one has personally witnessed or on the

17 Th emes and Forms of Early Jewish Historiography

Jewish Hellenistic historiography53 aims both at assimilation and at the preservation of the identity of the historiographical themes and forms of an Old Testament and Jewish character in the context of the mixed Hellenistic cultures Early Jewish historiography thus lives in the ten-sion between assimilation and the preservation of identity54 Th e dias-pora Jews who had largely lost their knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic established a historiography in Greek Jewish Hellenistic his-toriography displays not only linguistic but also formal infl uence on the part of Greek historiography For example 1 Maccabees contains some elements such as the ethnographical chapter about Rome which are related to Greek historiography Th is book is based on various written sources including letters and documents which the author may have consulted in an archive in Jerusalem His presentation also relies on legendary and oral traditions55 2 Maccabees ldquoresembles much more strongly the popular Greek historiography with its pronounced love of miracles and remarkable eventsrdquo56 2 Maccabees ldquoas a work of

Despite linguistic and cultural processes of adaptation ie the use of the Greek language and the consequences this had for early Jewish literature and historiography58 the literary products of Jewish Hellenistic historiography nevertheless largely preserve their own spe-cifi c character Religious aspects play a central role here59 as does the fact that there was little interest in individual historical themes and in history in general in Israel and especially in Diaspora Judaism in the second century BCE with the exception of the Maccabean confl icts60 Instead of writing a continuous history of contemporary events bibli-cal traditions are elaborated into contemporary narratives61 (cf

Artapanus)62 Th is is why it is diffi cult to defi ne the specifi c genre of the early Jewish historiographical writings and thus to demarcate them vis-agrave-vis the rest of early Jewish literature63 Historical themes are given an arbitrary literary form in other areas of early Jewish literature which are not counted among the ldquohistorical writingsrdquo in the broader sense (prophecy apocalyptic sapiential literature) Th ese historical themes can be understood only against the background of the prophetic-apocalyptic coding (eg Dan 12) or of sapiential instruction (Sirach)64 and are thus accessible only to specifi c groups

Among the surviving Jewish Hellenistic historical works we must distinguish between (a) those that have survived intact (1 Esdras 1ndash3 Maccabees) and were included in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate canon and (b) the mostly brief fragments of historical works which survive only in compilations by later writers Eusebius (especially in Praeparatio evangelica 9) Clement of Alexandria and Josephus were not the fi rst to transmit fragments of the Jewish Hellenistic historiog-raphers this had been done earlier by the Hellenistic historiographer L Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor (born 105 BCE) in his work On the Jews65 Th e fragments refer to writers who are orthonymous but about whom scarcely any historical information survives references to anonymous authors (Ps-Eupolemus) or pseudepigraphical writers (Ps-Hecataeus) are less frequent Nevertheless there is a tendency in

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

70 ldquoTh e Augustan regime it seems did not attempt to dominate historical writing as it did poetryrdquo G B Conte Latin Literature A History (Baltimore Johns Hopkins University Press 1994) 369

71 Cf Conte Literature 251ndash253 On Augustan literature in general cf most recently the essays in Levine and Nelis Clio amp Th e Poets

72 On the commentarii literature of the early Imperial period cf J Wilkes ldquoJulio-Claudian Historiansrdquo CW 65 (1972) 177ndash203 at 181ndash183 R G Lewis ldquoImperial Autobiography Augustus to Hadrianrdquo ANRW II341 (1993) 629ndash706 On the HypomnemataCommentarii of Vespasian and Titus cf HRR 2108 and the references by Josephus Apion 156 Life 342 358 cf also Schuumlrer History 32ndash33 On the Hypomnemata of Herod the Great cf Josephus Ant 15174 and Schuumlrer History 26ndash27

73 Cf in general Wilkes ldquoHistoriansrdquo74 Quotation from von Albrecht Geschichte 70975 Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

historiographical literature in the new testament 1803

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

22 Historiographical Authors in the Early Imperial Period (fi rstsecond century of the Common Era)

Tables (1)ndash(3) list historiographical authors who worked in the period relevant to the New Testament age ie the early Imperial period in the Greek Hellenistic Roman and early Jewish linguistic and cultural spheres Th ose authors are listed who present historical themes in prose form81

828384858687888990

76 ldquoTh e normative view of the exemplary knowledge of tradition indeed of a value untouched by change (auctoritas) gave the historians (Livy Sallust Tacitus) the free-dom to combine and make a stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation in order to write persuasively forms drawn from oratory literature and dialectics such as narrative description argumentation dramatization fi ctitious speech the narrative of events commentaries aphorismsrdquo Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

77 With regard to Tacitus cf the presentation by D Flach Tacitus in der Tradition der antiken Geschichtsschreibung Hyp 39 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht 1973) 14ndash16

78 In general cf R Laqueur ldquoNikolaosrdquo RE 17 (1937) 362ndash42479 He is one of the Greek-speaking historians who ldquothemselves worked in Romerdquo in

increasing numbers from the late Republican period onward ldquoor at any rate were closely connected to the great men of Romerdquo A Dihle Die griechische und lateinische Literatur der Kaiserzeit Von Augustus bis Justinian (Muumlnchen C H Beck 1989) 153

80 On this cf also M Kober Die politischen Anfaumlnge Octavians in der Darstellung des Velleius und dessen Verhaumlltnis zur historiographischen Tradition Ein philologischer Quellenvergleich Nikolaus von Damaskus Appianos von Alexandria Velleius Patercu-lus Epistemata 286 (Wuumlrzburg Koumlnigshausen amp Neumann 2000) M Toher Th e ldquoBios Kaisarosrdquo of Nicolaus of Damascus An Historiographical Analysis (unpub-lished PhD dissertation Brown University 1985)

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

16 Refl ections in Classical Antiquity on the Th eory and Methodof Historiography

Scattered ldquomethodological observationsrdquo are found in the works of the ancient historians42 especially when they discuss the exordium43 For example Livy speaks critically of the relationship between historiogra-phy and poetry44 A number of theoretical discussions of the essence signifi cance and function of historiography had a decisive infl uence on the form of historiographical works In his conception of literary composition Aristotle defi nes history as a chance narrative of events (Poet 91451b) Since poetry communicates what could happen accord-ing to the rules of probability and necessity (καὶ τὰ δυνατὰ κατὰ τὸ εἰκὸς ἢ τὸ ἀναγκαῖον) it is ldquomore philosophicalrdquo and more signifi cant than historiography (διὸ καὶ φιλοσοφώτερον καὶ σπουδαιότερον ποίησις ἱστορίας ἐστίν 1451a and b) Historiography inquires into what is specifi c whereas poetry inquires into what is general (καθόλου)

Cicerorsquos discussion refl ects the historiographical theories of the late Roman Republic He understands history as magistra vitae vita memo-riae and lux veritatis (Orat 236) and as munus oratoris maximum (Orat 262)45 Contrary to the Roman tradition of the annales maximi which was meant only to preserve the memory of places times human persons and deeds Cicero favors a rhetorically shaped form of histo-riography which is comparable to the Greek tradition (Orat 251ndash53 Leg 16ndash8) In the Flavian period which brings a ldquoclassicistic reac-tionrdquo46 Quintilian gives us glimpses of the historiographical theories of the Imperial period (Orat Inst 10131)47 He posits a close relation-

ship between historiography and poetry historiography does not prove but narrates in a literary form not bound by the rules of metre ( quodam modo carmen solutum est et scribitur ad narrandum non ad probandum) ldquoTh is makes it clear that Quintilian wishes to see an even stronger link between historiography and poetry than did Cicerordquo48 Quintilian is not the only one who takes this approach he refl ects the increased blurring of the distinction between historiography and poetry that we fi nd in the Roman literature of the early Imperial period49 Tacitus emphasizes the moral and ethical character of historiography He sets out his understanding of the praecipuum munus annalium of history at Ann 365 ldquoTh e passage states fi rst what historyrsquos role should be in respect to good behaviour and second what the purpose is in recording instances of bad behaviourrdquo50

Refl ection on history in the sense of the elaboration of a technical ars historica is found only in Lucian51 who composed the only ldquosys-tematic monograph on historiographyrdquo52 that has survived from the classical period He addresses his methodological linguistic and sub-stantial demands to the historianmdashdemands that are directed against the customary historiography of contemporary imperial military cam-paigns which were nothing other than exaggerated panegyrics Lucian defi nes the distinction between poetry and history by saying that a poet is driven by a deity and by the Muses and is therefore permitted to relate incredible things (Hc 8) Th e following aspects must also be borne in mind when one writes historical works the historian is wri-ting for the instruction of posterity (Hc 40f) and this means that the purpose of history is to be of service by presenting the truth (Hc 8) Th e historianrsquos task is to present factual matters (Hc 38ndash39) A good historian needs political acumen and skill in presentation (Hc 34) Th e facts must be well chosen and critically evaluated they should be based primarily on things one has personally witnessed or on the

17 Th emes and Forms of Early Jewish Historiography

Jewish Hellenistic historiography53 aims both at assimilation and at the preservation of the identity of the historiographical themes and forms of an Old Testament and Jewish character in the context of the mixed Hellenistic cultures Early Jewish historiography thus lives in the ten-sion between assimilation and the preservation of identity54 Th e dias-pora Jews who had largely lost their knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic established a historiography in Greek Jewish Hellenistic his-toriography displays not only linguistic but also formal infl uence on the part of Greek historiography For example 1 Maccabees contains some elements such as the ethnographical chapter about Rome which are related to Greek historiography Th is book is based on various written sources including letters and documents which the author may have consulted in an archive in Jerusalem His presentation also relies on legendary and oral traditions55 2 Maccabees ldquoresembles much more strongly the popular Greek historiography with its pronounced love of miracles and remarkable eventsrdquo56 2 Maccabees ldquoas a work of

the pathetic and rhetorical historiography which aimed at great dra-matic eff ects and was dominant in Hellenismrdquo conforms completely to ldquocontemporary Greek historiography Indeed 2 Maccabees is the only work of this genre which has survived in its entiretyrdquo57 Th e his-toriographer Flavius Josephus writing in the early Imperial period follows even more directly the forms and elements of Greek historiography

Despite linguistic and cultural processes of adaptation ie the use of the Greek language and the consequences this had for early Jewish literature and historiography58 the literary products of Jewish Hellenistic historiography nevertheless largely preserve their own spe-cifi c character Religious aspects play a central role here59 as does the fact that there was little interest in individual historical themes and in history in general in Israel and especially in Diaspora Judaism in the second century BCE with the exception of the Maccabean confl icts60 Instead of writing a continuous history of contemporary events bibli-cal traditions are elaborated into contemporary narratives61 (cf

Artapanus)62 Th is is why it is diffi cult to defi ne the specifi c genre of the early Jewish historiographical writings and thus to demarcate them vis-agrave-vis the rest of early Jewish literature63 Historical themes are given an arbitrary literary form in other areas of early Jewish literature which are not counted among the ldquohistorical writingsrdquo in the broader sense (prophecy apocalyptic sapiential literature) Th ese historical themes can be understood only against the background of the prophetic-apocalyptic coding (eg Dan 12) or of sapiential instruction (Sirach)64 and are thus accessible only to specifi c groups

Among the surviving Jewish Hellenistic historical works we must distinguish between (a) those that have survived intact (1 Esdras 1ndash3 Maccabees) and were included in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate canon and (b) the mostly brief fragments of historical works which survive only in compilations by later writers Eusebius (especially in Praeparatio evangelica 9) Clement of Alexandria and Josephus were not the fi rst to transmit fragments of the Jewish Hellenistic historiog-raphers this had been done earlier by the Hellenistic historiographer L Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor (born 105 BCE) in his work On the Jews65 Th e fragments refer to writers who are orthonymous but about whom scarcely any historical information survives references to anonymous authors (Ps-Eupolemus) or pseudepigraphical writers (Ps-Hecataeus) are less frequent Nevertheless there is a tendency in

2 Tendencies and Representatives of the Historiography of the Early Imperial Period

21 Basic Questions

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

Roman historiography became more important than Greek histori-ography from the fi rst century BCE onwards In the Augustan period the literature related to the Imperium Romanummdashespecially poetry but also historiographymdashwas produced in an affi rmative or critical

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

109 Cf Landfester Geschichte 201 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 242ndash244110 Cf Landfester Geschichte 215ndash216 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 239ndash241111 Cf Landfester Geschichte 424ndash425 Gall Literatur 151ndash153112 Cf Landfester Geschichte 213113 For an exemplary study of the question of the social status of Josephus cf G W

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

historiographical literature in the new testament 1797

ship between historiography and poetry historiography does not prove but narrates in a literary form not bound by the rules of metre ( quodam modo carmen solutum est et scribitur ad narrandum non ad probandum) ldquoTh is makes it clear that Quintilian wishes to see an even stronger link between historiography and poetry than did Cicerordquo48 Quintilian is not the only one who takes this approach he refl ects the increased blurring of the distinction between historiography and poetry that we fi nd in the Roman literature of the early Imperial period49 Tacitus emphasizes the moral and ethical character of historiography He sets out his understanding of the praecipuum munus annalium of history at Ann 365 ldquoTh e passage states fi rst what historyrsquos role should be in respect to good behaviour and second what the purpose is in recording instances of bad behaviourrdquo50

Refl ection on history in the sense of the elaboration of a technical ars historica is found only in Lucian51 who composed the only ldquosys-tematic monograph on historiographyrdquo52 that has survived from the classical period He addresses his methodological linguistic and sub-stantial demands to the historianmdashdemands that are directed against the customary historiography of contemporary imperial military cam-paigns which were nothing other than exaggerated panegyrics Lucian defi nes the distinction between poetry and history by saying that a poet is driven by a deity and by the Muses and is therefore permitted to relate incredible things (Hc 8) Th e following aspects must also be borne in mind when one writes historical works the historian is wri-ting for the instruction of posterity (Hc 40f) and this means that the purpose of history is to be of service by presenting the truth (Hc 8) Th e historianrsquos task is to present factual matters (Hc 38ndash39) A good historian needs political acumen and skill in presentation (Hc 34) Th e facts must be well chosen and critically evaluated they should be based primarily on things one has personally witnessed or on the

testimony of credible witnesses (Hc 47) Th e historian must begin by drawing up an outline of his presentation which he then fi lls in with details (Hc 48) Th e style should be generally comprehensible and simple (Hc 43ndash45) Th e course of the narrative should be related briefl y and precisely (Hc 50 56ndash57) An historical work needs no preface a short summary of its contents is suffi cient (Hc 52) In these refl ections Lucian gives an interesting insight into the ancient theory about the production and reception of historiography and into the evaluation of the literary genre of ldquohistoryrdquo in classical antiquity

17 Th emes and Forms of Early Jewish Historiography

Jewish Hellenistic historiography53 aims both at assimilation and at the preservation of the identity of the historiographical themes and forms of an Old Testament and Jewish character in the context of the mixed Hellenistic cultures Early Jewish historiography thus lives in the ten-sion between assimilation and the preservation of identity54 Th e dias-pora Jews who had largely lost their knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic established a historiography in Greek Jewish Hellenistic his-toriography displays not only linguistic but also formal infl uence on the part of Greek historiography For example 1 Maccabees contains some elements such as the ethnographical chapter about Rome which are related to Greek historiography Th is book is based on various written sources including letters and documents which the author may have consulted in an archive in Jerusalem His presentation also relies on legendary and oral traditions55 2 Maccabees ldquoresembles much more strongly the popular Greek historiography with its pronounced love of miracles and remarkable eventsrdquo56 2 Maccabees ldquoas a work of

the pathetic and rhetorical historiography which aimed at great dra-matic eff ects and was dominant in Hellenismrdquo conforms completely to ldquocontemporary Greek historiography Indeed 2 Maccabees is the only work of this genre which has survived in its entiretyrdquo57 Th e his-toriographer Flavius Josephus writing in the early Imperial period follows even more directly the forms and elements of Greek historiography

Despite linguistic and cultural processes of adaptation ie the use of the Greek language and the consequences this had for early Jewish literature and historiography58 the literary products of Jewish Hellenistic historiography nevertheless largely preserve their own spe-cifi c character Religious aspects play a central role here59 as does the fact that there was little interest in individual historical themes and in history in general in Israel and especially in Diaspora Judaism in the second century BCE with the exception of the Maccabean confl icts60 Instead of writing a continuous history of contemporary events bibli-cal traditions are elaborated into contemporary narratives61 (cf

Artapanus)62 Th is is why it is diffi cult to defi ne the specifi c genre of the early Jewish historiographical writings and thus to demarcate them vis-agrave-vis the rest of early Jewish literature63 Historical themes are given an arbitrary literary form in other areas of early Jewish literature which are not counted among the ldquohistorical writingsrdquo in the broader sense (prophecy apocalyptic sapiential literature) Th ese historical themes can be understood only against the background of the prophetic-apocalyptic coding (eg Dan 12) or of sapiential instruction (Sirach)64 and are thus accessible only to specifi c groups

Among the surviving Jewish Hellenistic historical works we must distinguish between (a) those that have survived intact (1 Esdras 1ndash3 Maccabees) and were included in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate canon and (b) the mostly brief fragments of historical works which survive only in compilations by later writers Eusebius (especially in Praeparatio evangelica 9) Clement of Alexandria and Josephus were not the fi rst to transmit fragments of the Jewish Hellenistic historiog-raphers this had been done earlier by the Hellenistic historiographer L Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor (born 105 BCE) in his work On the Jews65 Th e fragments refer to writers who are orthonymous but about whom scarcely any historical information survives references to anonymous authors (Ps-Eupolemus) or pseudepigraphical writers (Ps-Hecataeus) are less frequent Nevertheless there is a tendency in

2 Tendencies and Representatives of the Historiography of the Early Imperial Period

21 Basic Questions

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

Roman historiography became more important than Greek histori-ography from the fi rst century BCE onwards In the Augustan period the literature related to the Imperium Romanummdashespecially poetry but also historiographymdashwas produced in an affi rmative or critical

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

76 ldquoTh e normative view of the exemplary knowledge of tradition indeed of a value untouched by change (auctoritas) gave the historians (Livy Sallust Tacitus) the free-dom to combine and make a stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation in order to write persuasively forms drawn from oratory literature and dialectics such as narrative description argumentation dramatization fi ctitious speech the narrative of events commentaries aphorismsrdquo Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

109 Cf Landfester Geschichte 201 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 242ndash244110 Cf Landfester Geschichte 215ndash216 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 239ndash241111 Cf Landfester Geschichte 424ndash425 Gall Literatur 151ndash153112 Cf Landfester Geschichte 213113 For an exemplary study of the question of the social status of Josephus cf G W

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

116 Cf table (3) On this cf also P W van der Horst ldquoPhilorsquos In Flaccum and the Book of Actsrdquo in idem Jews and Christians in Th eir Graeco-Roman Context Selected Essays on Early Judaism Samaritanism Hellenism and Christianity WUNT 196 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2006) 98ndash107 and in general cf also Schuumlrer History 859ndash864

1810 eve-marie becker

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

117 Cf G E Lessing ldquoTh eses aus der Kirchengeschichterdquo in idem Werke und Briefe in zwoumllf Baumlnden 8 Werke 1774ndash1778 ed A Schilson (Frankfurt Deutscher Klassiker Verlag 1989) 619ndash627 idem Neue Hypothese uumlber die Evangelisten als bloszlig mensch-liche Geschichtsschreiber betrachtet Wolfenbuumlttel 1778 in Werke und Briefe 8629ndash654

120 Cf D Dormeyer and H Frankemoumllle ldquoEvangelium als literarische Gattung und als theologischer Begriff Tendenzen und Aufgaben der Evangelienforschung im 20 Jahrhundert mit einer Untersuchung des Markusevangeliums in seinem Verhaumlltnis zur antiken Biographierdquo ANRW II 252 (1984) 1543ndash1704 Dormeyer Markusevan-gelium 1666ndash1668

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

129 Cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 362ndash364130 Cf eg M Dibelius ldquoDie Reden der Apostelgeschichte und die antike Geschichts-

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

142 On this overview cf Becker ldquoAutobiographischesrdquo 82ndash83143 Cf G Minois Geschichte der Zukunft Orakel Prophezeiungen Utopien Progno-

sen (Duumlsseldorf and Zurich Artemis and Winkler 1998)144 On this cf P Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-

kryphen 2 491ndash515 esp at 495ndash497145 Cf Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 525ndash527 On the special question of

the historicaltemporal dimensions of the Apocalypse of John cf D E Aune Revela-tion 1ndash5 WBC 52A (Dallas Word Books 1997) lxxxivndashlxxxv

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

150 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Buch des Th omasrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 192ndash198

17 Th emes and Forms of Early Jewish Historiography

Jewish Hellenistic historiography53 aims both at assimilation and at the preservation of the identity of the historiographical themes and forms of an Old Testament and Jewish character in the context of the mixed Hellenistic cultures Early Jewish historiography thus lives in the ten-sion between assimilation and the preservation of identity54 Th e dias-pora Jews who had largely lost their knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic established a historiography in Greek Jewish Hellenistic his-toriography displays not only linguistic but also formal infl uence on the part of Greek historiography For example 1 Maccabees contains some elements such as the ethnographical chapter about Rome which are related to Greek historiography Th is book is based on various written sources including letters and documents which the author may have consulted in an archive in Jerusalem His presentation also relies on legendary and oral traditions55 2 Maccabees ldquoresembles much more strongly the popular Greek historiography with its pronounced love of miracles and remarkable eventsrdquo56 2 Maccabees ldquoas a work of

Despite linguistic and cultural processes of adaptation ie the use of the Greek language and the consequences this had for early Jewish literature and historiography58 the literary products of Jewish Hellenistic historiography nevertheless largely preserve their own spe-cifi c character Religious aspects play a central role here59 as does the fact that there was little interest in individual historical themes and in history in general in Israel and especially in Diaspora Judaism in the second century BCE with the exception of the Maccabean confl icts60 Instead of writing a continuous history of contemporary events bibli-cal traditions are elaborated into contemporary narratives61 (cf

Artapanus)62 Th is is why it is diffi cult to defi ne the specifi c genre of the early Jewish historiographical writings and thus to demarcate them vis-agrave-vis the rest of early Jewish literature63 Historical themes are given an arbitrary literary form in other areas of early Jewish literature which are not counted among the ldquohistorical writingsrdquo in the broader sense (prophecy apocalyptic sapiential literature) Th ese historical themes can be understood only against the background of the prophetic-apocalyptic coding (eg Dan 12) or of sapiential instruction (Sirach)64 and are thus accessible only to specifi c groups

Among the surviving Jewish Hellenistic historical works we must distinguish between (a) those that have survived intact (1 Esdras 1ndash3 Maccabees) and were included in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate canon and (b) the mostly brief fragments of historical works which survive only in compilations by later writers Eusebius (especially in Praeparatio evangelica 9) Clement of Alexandria and Josephus were not the fi rst to transmit fragments of the Jewish Hellenistic historiog-raphers this had been done earlier by the Hellenistic historiographer L Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor (born 105 BCE) in his work On the Jews65 Th e fragments refer to writers who are orthonymous but about whom scarcely any historical information survives references to anonymous authors (Ps-Eupolemus) or pseudepigraphical writers (Ps-Hecataeus) are less frequent Nevertheless there is a tendency in

2 Tendencies and Representatives of the Historiography of the Early Imperial Period

21 Basic Questions

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

Roman historiography became more important than Greek histori-ography from the fi rst century BCE onwards In the Augustan period the literature related to the Imperium Romanummdashespecially poetry but also historiographymdashwas produced in an affi rmative or critical

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

109 Cf Landfester Geschichte 201 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 242ndash244110 Cf Landfester Geschichte 215ndash216 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 239ndash241111 Cf Landfester Geschichte 424ndash425 Gall Literatur 151ndash153112 Cf Landfester Geschichte 213113 For an exemplary study of the question of the social status of Josephus cf G W

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

116 Cf table (3) On this cf also P W van der Horst ldquoPhilorsquos In Flaccum and the Book of Actsrdquo in idem Jews and Christians in Th eir Graeco-Roman Context Selected Essays on Early Judaism Samaritanism Hellenism and Christianity WUNT 196 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2006) 98ndash107 and in general cf also Schuumlrer History 859ndash864

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

Artapanus)62 Th is is why it is diffi cult to defi ne the specifi c genre of the early Jewish historiographical writings and thus to demarcate them vis-agrave-vis the rest of early Jewish literature63 Historical themes are given an arbitrary literary form in other areas of early Jewish literature which are not counted among the ldquohistorical writingsrdquo in the broader sense (prophecy apocalyptic sapiential literature) Th ese historical themes can be understood only against the background of the prophetic-apocalyptic coding (eg Dan 12) or of sapiential instruction (Sirach)64 and are thus accessible only to specifi c groups

Among the surviving Jewish Hellenistic historical works we must distinguish between (a) those that have survived intact (1 Esdras 1ndash3 Maccabees) and were included in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate canon and (b) the mostly brief fragments of historical works which survive only in compilations by later writers Eusebius (especially in Praeparatio evangelica 9) Clement of Alexandria and Josephus were not the fi rst to transmit fragments of the Jewish Hellenistic historiog-raphers this had been done earlier by the Hellenistic historiographer L Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor (born 105 BCE) in his work On the Jews65 Th e fragments refer to writers who are orthonymous but about whom scarcely any historical information survives references to anonymous authors (Ps-Eupolemus) or pseudepigraphical writers (Ps-Hecataeus) are less frequent Nevertheless there is a tendency in

historiographical literature in the new testament 1801

Jewish literature for authors to remain anonymous We fi nd the phe-nomenon of orthonymous authorship fi rst in Sirach and Martin Hengel has emphasized that this is connected with the ldquodiscovery of the individuality of the authorrdquo in the ldquoHellenistic periodrdquo66 (c) Josephus represents an independent type of historiographical litera-ture which must be evaluated in the context of Hellenistic Roman historiography

2 Tendencies and Representatives of the Historiography of the Early Imperial Period

21 Basic Questions

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

Roman historiography became more important than Greek histori-ography from the fi rst century BCE onwards In the Augustan period the literature related to the Imperium Romanummdashespecially poetry but also historiographymdashwas produced in an affi rmative or critical

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

70 ldquoTh e Augustan regime it seems did not attempt to dominate historical writing as it did poetryrdquo G B Conte Latin Literature A History (Baltimore Johns Hopkins University Press 1994) 369

71 Cf Conte Literature 251ndash253 On Augustan literature in general cf most recently the essays in Levine and Nelis Clio amp Th e Poets

72 On the commentarii literature of the early Imperial period cf J Wilkes ldquoJulio-Claudian Historiansrdquo CW 65 (1972) 177ndash203 at 181ndash183 R G Lewis ldquoImperial Autobiography Augustus to Hadrianrdquo ANRW II341 (1993) 629ndash706 On the HypomnemataCommentarii of Vespasian and Titus cf HRR 2108 and the references by Josephus Apion 156 Life 342 358 cf also Schuumlrer History 32ndash33 On the Hypomnemata of Herod the Great cf Josephus Ant 15174 and Schuumlrer History 26ndash27

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

828384858687888990

76 ldquoTh e normative view of the exemplary knowledge of tradition indeed of a value untouched by change (auctoritas) gave the historians (Livy Sallust Tacitus) the free-dom to combine and make a stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation in order to write persuasively forms drawn from oratory literature and dialectics such as narrative description argumentation dramatization fi ctitious speech the narrative of events commentaries aphorismsrdquo Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

77 With regard to Tacitus cf the presentation by D Flach Tacitus in der Tradition der antiken Geschichtsschreibung Hyp 39 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht 1973) 14ndash16

78 In general cf R Laqueur ldquoNikolaosrdquo RE 17 (1937) 362ndash42479 He is one of the Greek-speaking historians who ldquothemselves worked in Romerdquo in

increasing numbers from the late Republican period onward ldquoor at any rate were closely connected to the great men of Romerdquo A Dihle Die griechische und lateinische Literatur der Kaiserzeit Von Augustus bis Justinian (Muumlnchen C H Beck 1989) 153

80 On this cf also M Kober Die politischen Anfaumlnge Octavians in der Darstellung des Velleius und dessen Verhaumlltnis zur historiographischen Tradition Ein philologischer Quellenvergleich Nikolaus von Damaskus Appianos von Alexandria Velleius Patercu-lus Epistemata 286 (Wuumlrzburg Koumlnigshausen amp Neumann 2000) M Toher Th e ldquoBios Kaisarosrdquo of Nicolaus of Damascus An Historiographical Analysis (unpub-lished PhD dissertation Brown University 1985)

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

Artapanus)62 Th is is why it is diffi cult to defi ne the specifi c genre of the early Jewish historiographical writings and thus to demarcate them vis-agrave-vis the rest of early Jewish literature63 Historical themes are given an arbitrary literary form in other areas of early Jewish literature which are not counted among the ldquohistorical writingsrdquo in the broader sense (prophecy apocalyptic sapiential literature) Th ese historical themes can be understood only against the background of the prophetic-apocalyptic coding (eg Dan 12) or of sapiential instruction (Sirach)64 and are thus accessible only to specifi c groups

Among the surviving Jewish Hellenistic historical works we must distinguish between (a) those that have survived intact (1 Esdras 1ndash3 Maccabees) and were included in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate canon and (b) the mostly brief fragments of historical works which survive only in compilations by later writers Eusebius (especially in Praeparatio evangelica 9) Clement of Alexandria and Josephus were not the fi rst to transmit fragments of the Jewish Hellenistic historiog-raphers this had been done earlier by the Hellenistic historiographer L Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor (born 105 BCE) in his work On the Jews65 Th e fragments refer to writers who are orthonymous but about whom scarcely any historical information survives references to anonymous authors (Ps-Eupolemus) or pseudepigraphical writers (Ps-Hecataeus) are less frequent Nevertheless there is a tendency in

Jewish literature for authors to remain anonymous We fi nd the phe-nomenon of orthonymous authorship fi rst in Sirach and Martin Hengel has emphasized that this is connected with the ldquodiscovery of the individuality of the authorrdquo in the ldquoHellenistic periodrdquo66 (c) Josephus represents an independent type of historiographical litera-ture which must be evaluated in the context of Hellenistic Roman historiography

2 Tendencies and Representatives of the Historiography of the Early Imperial Period

21 Basic Questions

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

Roman historiography became more important than Greek histori-ography from the fi rst century BCE onwards In the Augustan period the literature related to the Imperium Romanummdashespecially poetry but also historiographymdashwas produced in an affi rmative or critical

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

76 ldquoTh e normative view of the exemplary knowledge of tradition indeed of a value untouched by change (auctoritas) gave the historians (Livy Sallust Tacitus) the free-dom to combine and make a stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation in order to write persuasively forms drawn from oratory literature and dialectics such as narrative description argumentation dramatization fi ctitious speech the narrative of events commentaries aphorismsrdquo Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

109 Cf Landfester Geschichte 201 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 242ndash244110 Cf Landfester Geschichte 215ndash216 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 239ndash241111 Cf Landfester Geschichte 424ndash425 Gall Literatur 151ndash153112 Cf Landfester Geschichte 213113 For an exemplary study of the question of the social status of Josephus cf G W

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

116 Cf table (3) On this cf also P W van der Horst ldquoPhilorsquos In Flaccum and the Book of Actsrdquo in idem Jews and Christians in Th eir Graeco-Roman Context Selected Essays on Early Judaism Samaritanism Hellenism and Christianity WUNT 196 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2006) 98ndash107 and in general cf also Schuumlrer History 859ndash864

1810 eve-marie becker

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

117 Cf G E Lessing ldquoTh eses aus der Kirchengeschichterdquo in idem Werke und Briefe in zwoumllf Baumlnden 8 Werke 1774ndash1778 ed A Schilson (Frankfurt Deutscher Klassiker Verlag 1989) 619ndash627 idem Neue Hypothese uumlber die Evangelisten als bloszlig mensch-liche Geschichtsschreiber betrachtet Wolfenbuumlttel 1778 in Werke und Briefe 8629ndash654

118 For an overview of research cf D Dormeyer Das Markus-Evangelium (Darm-stadt Wissenschaft liche Buchgesellschaft 2005) esp 112ndash137 Becker Markus-Evan-gelium 37ndash29

119 Cf H Koester ldquoUumlberlieferung und Geschichte der fruumlhchristlichen Evangelien-literaturrdquo ANRW II 522 (1984) 1463ndash1542 idem ldquoEvangelium II Gattungrdquo RGG 4th ed 2 (1999) 1735ndash1741

120 Cf D Dormeyer and H Frankemoumllle ldquoEvangelium als literarische Gattung und als theologischer Begriff Tendenzen und Aufgaben der Evangelienforschung im 20 Jahrhundert mit einer Untersuchung des Markusevangeliums in seinem Verhaumlltnis zur antiken Biographierdquo ANRW II 252 (1984) 1543ndash1704 Dormeyer Markusevan-gelium 1666ndash1668

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

123 Cf R Bauckham ldquoHistoriographical Characteristics of the Gospel of Johnrdquo NTS 53 (2007) 17ndash36

124 Cf Becker Markus-Evangelium eadem ldquoTh e Gospel of Mark in the Context of Ancient Historiographyrdquo in Th e Function of Ancient Historiography in Biblical and Cognate Studies ed P G Kirkpatrick and T Goltz (New York T amp T Clark 2008) 124ndash134

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

129 Cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 362ndash364130 Cf eg M Dibelius ldquoDie Reden der Apostelgeschichte und die antike Geschichts-

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

142 On this overview cf Becker ldquoAutobiographischesrdquo 82ndash83143 Cf G Minois Geschichte der Zukunft Orakel Prophezeiungen Utopien Progno-

sen (Duumlsseldorf and Zurich Artemis and Winkler 1998)144 On this cf P Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-

kryphen 2 491ndash515 esp at 495ndash497145 Cf Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 525ndash527 On the special question of

the historicaltemporal dimensions of the Apocalypse of John cf D E Aune Revela-tion 1ndash5 WBC 52A (Dallas Word Books 1997) lxxxivndashlxxxv

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

150 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Buch des Th omasrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 192ndash198

historiographical literature in the new testament 1801

Jewish literature for authors to remain anonymous We fi nd the phe-nomenon of orthonymous authorship fi rst in Sirach and Martin Hengel has emphasized that this is connected with the ldquodiscovery of the individuality of the authorrdquo in the ldquoHellenistic periodrdquo66 (c) Josephus represents an independent type of historiographical litera-ture which must be evaluated in the context of Hellenistic Roman historiography

2 Tendencies and Representatives of the Historiography of the Early Imperial Period

21 Basic Questions

As we have seen Greek historiography in the Hellenistic Roman period displays a large number of historiographical conceptions and ldquoan immense volume of productionrdquo Th is makes it diffi cult to achieve an overview67 In terms of literary history this leads to a mingling of the historiographical genres A strict classifi cation of the various types of historiography according to genre-specifi c elements is virtually impos-sible At most historiography in the Hellenistic-Roman period can be classifi ed according to ldquotrendsrdquo and ldquothemesrdquo68 In the second century BCE a political upheaval replaced the hegemony of the Hellenes by the hegemony of the Romans modern European scholars who thought in classicistic terms once wrote that ldquoTh e standstill and decline of the productive intellectual powers of the Greek East meant that in this period Rome overtook the leading role and set the tone in the fi eld of literature toordquo69

Roman historiography became more important than Greek histori-ography from the fi rst century BCE onwards In the Augustan period the literature related to the Imperium Romanummdashespecially poetry but also historiographymdashwas produced in an affi rmative or critical

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

22 Historiographical Authors in the Early Imperial Period (fi rstsecond century of the Common Era)

Tables (1)ndash(3) list historiographical authors who worked in the period relevant to the New Testament age ie the early Imperial period in the Greek Hellenistic Roman and early Jewish linguistic and cultural spheres Th ose authors are listed who present historical themes in prose form81

828384858687888990

76 ldquoTh e normative view of the exemplary knowledge of tradition indeed of a value untouched by change (auctoritas) gave the historians (Livy Sallust Tacitus) the free-dom to combine and make a stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation in order to write persuasively forms drawn from oratory literature and dialectics such as narrative description argumentation dramatization fi ctitious speech the narrative of events commentaries aphorismsrdquo Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

77 With regard to Tacitus cf the presentation by D Flach Tacitus in der Tradition der antiken Geschichtsschreibung Hyp 39 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht 1973) 14ndash16

78 In general cf R Laqueur ldquoNikolaosrdquo RE 17 (1937) 362ndash42479 He is one of the Greek-speaking historians who ldquothemselves worked in Romerdquo in

increasing numbers from the late Republican period onward ldquoor at any rate were closely connected to the great men of Romerdquo A Dihle Die griechische und lateinische Literatur der Kaiserzeit Von Augustus bis Justinian (Muumlnchen C H Beck 1989) 153

80 On this cf also M Kober Die politischen Anfaumlnge Octavians in der Darstellung des Velleius und dessen Verhaumlltnis zur historiographischen Tradition Ein philologischer Quellenvergleich Nikolaus von Damaskus Appianos von Alexandria Velleius Patercu-lus Epistemata 286 (Wuumlrzburg Koumlnigshausen amp Neumann 2000) M Toher Th e ldquoBios Kaisarosrdquo of Nicolaus of Damascus An Historiographical Analysis (unpub-lished PhD dissertation Brown University 1985)

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

116 Cf table (3) On this cf also P W van der Horst ldquoPhilorsquos In Flaccum and the Book of Actsrdquo in idem Jews and Christians in Th eir Graeco-Roman Context Selected Essays on Early Judaism Samaritanism Hellenism and Christianity WUNT 196 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2006) 98ndash107 and in general cf also Schuumlrer History 859ndash864

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

120 Cf D Dormeyer and H Frankemoumllle ldquoEvangelium als literarische Gattung und als theologischer Begriff Tendenzen und Aufgaben der Evangelienforschung im 20 Jahrhundert mit einer Untersuchung des Markusevangeliums in seinem Verhaumlltnis zur antiken Biographierdquo ANRW II 252 (1984) 1543ndash1704 Dormeyer Markusevan-gelium 1666ndash1668

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

Page 16: HISTORIOGRAPHICAL LITERATURE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT … · 2017-09-21 · historiographical literature in the new testament 1789 kings in Greek historiography,7 the culture of remembrance

proximity to the princeps (cf eg Livy and Nicholas of Damascus)70 Augustus promoted it and exercised an ideological infl uence on it71 Th e autobiographical activity of Augustus himself (the Res Gestae) which was imitated by the subsequent principes72 shows clearly that historiographical works were understood to have a programmatic function as mediators of the Augustan ideology and that they were in fact employed in this way (cf once again Nicholas) Th is tie was then loosened temporarily under the Julio-Claudian principes73 but it took on renewed intensity under the Flavians (69ndash96 CE) with a conscious reference back to the Augustan age (cf Quintilian) It is against this background that the historiographical works of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus must be understood Th is also explains the increasing signifi -cance of biographical literature (cf Suetonius and C Nepos) which generated the genre of imperial biographies (Historia Augusta)

A factor of social history also left its mark on the literature of the early Imperial period At the beginning of this period the cultural infl uence of the ldquoItalic dynastiesrdquo declined Th e ldquoprovincializationrdquo of Latin literature meant that literary traditions were ldquooft en preserved in a purer form in peripheral regions than in the center which was very much exposed to innovationsrdquo74 Th e literary tendencies of the histori-ography of the early Imperial period are mentioned by the Roman historians themselves in the transition from the republic to the prin-cipate A high didactic and moral function is attributed to historio-graphy (cf Livy Praef 10) so that history is not only ldquothe remembering of past deeds and charismatic values which renders these present but also a lsquolamp of truthrsquordquo (cf Cicero above)75 Awareness

71 Cf Conte Literature 251ndash253 On Augustan literature in general cf most recently the essays in Levine and Nelis Clio amp Th e Poets

72 On the commentarii literature of the early Imperial period cf J Wilkes ldquoJulio-Claudian Historiansrdquo CW 65 (1972) 177ndash203 at 181ndash183 R G Lewis ldquoImperial Autobiography Augustus to Hadrianrdquo ANRW II341 (1993) 629ndash706 On the HypomnemataCommentarii of Vespasian and Titus cf HRR 2108 and the references by Josephus Apion 156 Life 342 358 cf also Schuumlrer History 32ndash33 On the Hypomnemata of Herod the Great cf Josephus Ant 15174 and Schuumlrer History 26ndash27

73 Cf in general Wilkes ldquoHistoriansrdquo74 Quotation from von Albrecht Geschichte 70975 Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

historiographical literature in the new testament 1803

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

22 Historiographical Authors in the Early Imperial Period (fi rstsecond century of the Common Era)

Tables (1)ndash(3) list historiographical authors who worked in the period relevant to the New Testament age ie the early Imperial period in the Greek Hellenistic Roman and early Jewish linguistic and cultural spheres Th ose authors are listed who present historical themes in prose form81

828384858687888990

76 ldquoTh e normative view of the exemplary knowledge of tradition indeed of a value untouched by change (auctoritas) gave the historians (Livy Sallust Tacitus) the free-dom to combine and make a stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation in order to write persuasively forms drawn from oratory literature and dialectics such as narrative description argumentation dramatization fi ctitious speech the narrative of events commentaries aphorismsrdquo Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

77 With regard to Tacitus cf the presentation by D Flach Tacitus in der Tradition der antiken Geschichtsschreibung Hyp 39 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht 1973) 14ndash16

78 In general cf R Laqueur ldquoNikolaosrdquo RE 17 (1937) 362ndash42479 He is one of the Greek-speaking historians who ldquothemselves worked in Romerdquo in

increasing numbers from the late Republican period onward ldquoor at any rate were closely connected to the great men of Romerdquo A Dihle Die griechische und lateinische Literatur der Kaiserzeit Von Augustus bis Justinian (Muumlnchen C H Beck 1989) 153

80 On this cf also M Kober Die politischen Anfaumlnge Octavians in der Darstellung des Velleius und dessen Verhaumlltnis zur historiographischen Tradition Ein philologischer Quellenvergleich Nikolaus von Damaskus Appianos von Alexandria Velleius Patercu-lus Epistemata 286 (Wuumlrzburg Koumlnigshausen amp Neumann 2000) M Toher Th e ldquoBios Kaisarosrdquo of Nicolaus of Damascus An Historiographical Analysis (unpub-lished PhD dissertation Brown University 1985)

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

Page 17: HISTORIOGRAPHICAL LITERATURE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT … · 2017-09-21 · historiographical literature in the new testament 1789 kings in Greek historiography,7 the culture of remembrance

historiographical literature in the new testament 1803

of the auctoritas of the traditions permitted the historians to achieve the literary and stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation76

Th ematically the historiographical literature of the early Imperial period is concerned with Roman history in literary-historical terms it belongs to the tradition of Hellenistic historiography77 A good exam-ple of this position in the history of culture and of literature is Nicholas of Damascus78 He belongs in linguistic and literary terms to the Greek Hellenistic culture and the circumstances of his life79 and the subjects of his historiographical works belong fi rmly to the beginnings of the Roman Imperial period80

22 Historiographical Authors in the Early Imperial Period (fi rstsecond century of the Common Era)

Tables (1)ndash(3) list historiographical authors who worked in the period relevant to the New Testament age ie the early Imperial period in the Greek Hellenistic Roman and early Jewish linguistic and cultural spheres Th ose authors are listed who present historical themes in prose form81

828384858687888990

76 ldquoTh e normative view of the exemplary knowledge of tradition indeed of a value untouched by change (auctoritas) gave the historians (Livy Sallust Tacitus) the free-dom to combine and make a stylistic synthesis of various forms of presentation in order to write persuasively forms drawn from oratory literature and dialectics such as narrative description argumentation dramatization fi ctitious speech the narrative of events commentaries aphorismsrdquo Harth ldquoGeschichtsschreibungrdquo 839

77 With regard to Tacitus cf the presentation by D Flach Tacitus in der Tradition der antiken Geschichtsschreibung Hyp 39 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht 1973) 14ndash16

78 In general cf R Laqueur ldquoNikolaosrdquo RE 17 (1937) 362ndash42479 He is one of the Greek-speaking historians who ldquothemselves worked in Romerdquo in

increasing numbers from the late Republican period onward ldquoor at any rate were closely connected to the great men of Romerdquo A Dihle Die griechische und lateinische Literatur der Kaiserzeit Von Augustus bis Justinian (Muumlnchen C H Beck 1989) 153

80 On this cf also M Kober Die politischen Anfaumlnge Octavians in der Darstellung des Velleius und dessen Verhaumlltnis zur historiographischen Tradition Ein philologischer Quellenvergleich Nikolaus von Damaskus Appianos von Alexandria Velleius Patercu-lus Epistemata 286 (Wuumlrzburg Koumlnigshausen amp Neumann 2000) M Toher Th e ldquoBios Kaisarosrdquo of Nicolaus of Damascus An Historiographical Analysis (unpub-lished PhD dissertation Brown University 1985)

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

109 Cf Landfester Geschichte 201 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 242ndash244110 Cf Landfester Geschichte 215ndash216 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 239ndash241111 Cf Landfester Geschichte 424ndash425 Gall Literatur 151ndash153112 Cf Landfester Geschichte 213113 For an exemplary study of the question of the social status of Josephus cf G W

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

109 Cf Landfester Geschichte 201 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 242ndash244110 Cf Landfester Geschichte 215ndash216 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 239ndash241111 Cf Landfester Geschichte 424ndash425 Gall Literatur 151ndash153112 Cf Landfester Geschichte 213113 For an exemplary study of the question of the social status of Josephus cf G W

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

116 Cf table (3) On this cf also P W van der Horst ldquoPhilorsquos In Flaccum and the Book of Actsrdquo in idem Jews and Christians in Th eir Graeco-Roman Context Selected Essays on Early Judaism Samaritanism Hellenism and Christianity WUNT 196 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2006) 98ndash107 and in general cf also Schuumlrer History 859ndash864

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

Th is means that this overview has the following boundaries Authors such as Diodorus Siculus (Bιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική)109 or Dionysius of Halicarnassus (eg Ῥωμαικὴ ἀρχαιολογία)110 are not mentioned in the following tables because the dates of their lives do not belong clearly to the transition to the fi rst century of the Common Era (Dio-dorus fi rst century BCE Dionyius ca 60 BCE-aft er 7 CE) Authors such as Ovid (43 BCEndash17 CE)111 or the Alexandrian Dionysius Per-iegetes (fi rst half of the second century CE)112 are not included because the works they wrote on historical themes are not composed in prose the Fasti of Ovid is in elegiac distiches and the Periegesis of Dionysius is in hexameters

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

109 Cf Landfester Geschichte 201 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 242ndash244110 Cf Landfester Geschichte 215ndash216 Lendle Einfuumlhrung 239ndash241111 Cf Landfester Geschichte 424ndash425 Gall Literatur 151ndash153112 Cf Landfester Geschichte 213113 For an exemplary study of the question of the social status of Josephus cf G W

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

121 Cf eg H Cancik ldquoDie Gattung Evangelium Markus im Rahmen der antiken Historiographierdquo in idem Markus-Philologie Historische literargeschichtliche und sti-listische Untersuchungen zum zweiten Evangelium WUNT 33 (Tuumlbingen Mohr [Paul Siebeck] 1984) 85ndash113 R A Burridge What are the Gospels A Comparison with

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

3 Early Christian Literature in the Framework of Ancient Historiography

31 Basic Questions

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

Bowersock ldquoForeign Elites at Romerdquo in Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome ed J Edmondson et al (Oxford Oxford University Press 2005) 53ndash62 A wide fi eld for sociological research opens up here as H Schneider has shown ldquoAt present the mod-ern social history of classical antiquity displays a rich variety of themes the level of education eg the ability to write and read and status symbols are the object of a research which moves between the disciplines and is able to draw on the questions and methodologies of the modern social sciencesrdquo ldquoSozial- und Wirtschaft sgeschichterdquo DNP 153 (2003) 83ndash92 at 90

114 For the early Jewish area following on the studies by V Tcherikover (eg Hel-lenistic Civilization and the Jews [Philadelphia Jewish Publication Society of America 1959]) cf the standard works eg M Hengel ldquoTh e Interpenetration of Judaism and Hellenism in the pre-Maccabean Periodrdquo in Th e Cambridge History of Judaism 2 ed W D Davies and L Finkelstein (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1989) 167ndash228 E S Gruen Diaspora Jews amidst Greeks and Romans (Cambridge Harvard University Press 2002)

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

142 On this overview cf Becker ldquoAutobiographischesrdquo 82ndash83143 Cf G Minois Geschichte der Zukunft Orakel Prophezeiungen Utopien Progno-

sen (Duumlsseldorf and Zurich Artemis and Winkler 1998)144 On this cf P Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-

kryphen 2 491ndash515 esp at 495ndash497145 Cf Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 525ndash527 On the special question of

the historicaltemporal dimensions of the Apocalypse of John cf D E Aune Revela-tion 1ndash5 WBC 52A (Dallas Word Books 1997) lxxxivndashlxxxv

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

150 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Buch des Th omasrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 192ndash198

Th e Greek Hellenistic Jewish Hellenistic and Roman historiographies of the Hellenistic Roman period display distinctive characteristics not only in their language but also in their ideas and choice of subjects In its very origins historiography is closely linked to culture and con-text Th is also applies to the social status of the historian113 In the Hellenistic-Roman period however processes of assimilation begin114

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

150 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Buch des Th omasrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 192ndash198

historiographical literature in the new testament 1809

Th e three cultural spheresmdashGreek Roman and Jewishmdashwhich were initially rather independent of each other came into contact and min-gled Th is cultural exchange and transfer took place in specifi c political constellations fi rst in the Hellenistic Macedonian hegemony then in the period of the successor kings and then in the imperial expansion of the Romans Th is can be illustrated by some well-known examples

ndash Diaspora Judaism speaks and writes Greekndash the development of Roman literature fi nds its orientation in earlier

Greek Hellenistic worksndash the Hellenistic historian Polybius discovers the signifi cance of

Roman history for the eastern Mediterranean regionndash the Greek Hellenistic compiler Alexander Polyhistor devotes his

energies to the collection of Jewish historiographical works

Th ese processes of assimilation reach their peak thanks to the geo-graphical expansion of the Roman empire under Augustus and to the consolidation of the political military and institutional structures in the early Imperial period In this period the shared elements of culture become important and one can say that a new type of culture emerges as can be seen (to a limited extent) in the Jewish Hellenistic literature of the fi rst century CE Here we think fi rst of all of Josephus115 but also of some writings by Philo of Alexandria which have at least a partly his-toriographical character (eg the Legatio ad Gaium and In Flaccum)116 It is interesting to see that the Jewish Hellenistic literature shares the common Hellenistic syntheses especially in the fi eld of historiography

115 For a structural comparison between historiographical elements in Josephus and in the Gospel of Mark cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 301ndash303 Only a few structural comparisons with regard to the literary-historical aspects in the historiographical writ-ings of Josephus will be found in C Boumlttrich and J Herzer eds Josephus und das Neue Testament Wechselseitige Wahrnehmungen WUNT 209 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2007) cf the essay by M Vogel ldquoGeschichtsschreibung nach den Regeln von Lob und Tadel Sterbeszenen bei Josephus und im Neuen Testamentrdquo in Josephus ed Boumlttrich and Herzer 535ndash546 On the essence and function of historiography in general cf D E Aune ldquoHistoriographyrdquo in idem Th e Westminster Dictionary of New Testament amp Early Christian Literature amp Rhetoric (Louisville Westminster John Knox Press 2003) 215ndash218

116 Cf table (3) On this cf also P W van der Horst ldquoPhilorsquos In Flaccum and the Book of Actsrdquo in idem Jews and Christians in Th eir Graeco-Roman Context Selected Essays on Early Judaism Samaritanism Hellenism and Christianity WUNT 196 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2006) 98ndash107 and in general cf also Schuumlrer History 859ndash864

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

150 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Buch des Th omasrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 192ndash198

Th e genesis of the earliest Christian texts coincides with this situation which is determined politically by the conditions of the early Imperial period and in terms of cultural and literary history by the assimilation processes of the Hellenistic-Roman period In what follows I concen-trate on the texts in the New Testament and then refer only briefl y (see section e) to extra-canonical texts (the so-called Apostolic Fathers apocrypha etc) which are related to historiography and were written at roughly the same time as the New Testament texts

32 Th e Gospels as Historiographical LiteraturemdashExample Th e Gospel of Mark

From Gotthold E Lessing onwards the gospel literature especially the synoptic gospels have been read as history-oriented accounts of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth117 Modern gospel research118 also sees close links between the gospels and biographical literature the gospels take up elements which are known from the offi cial prophetic biography of the Old Testament (cf Helmut Koester)119 and their genre is comparable to that of the pagan biographies of classical anti-quity (cf Detlev Dormeyer)120 Th e identifi cation of a structural close-ness between the gospels and biographical literature means that they belong to the genre of historiography in the broader sense (cf also Rich-ard A Burridge)121 Adela Yarbro Collins agrees in this basic classifi ca-tion of the gospels as historiographical literature and has recently

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

129 Cf Becker Markus-Evangelium 362ndash364130 Cf eg M Dibelius ldquoDie Reden der Apostelgeschichte und die antike Geschichts-

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

142 On this overview cf Becker ldquoAutobiographischesrdquo 82ndash83143 Cf G Minois Geschichte der Zukunft Orakel Prophezeiungen Utopien Progno-

sen (Duumlsseldorf and Zurich Artemis and Winkler 1998)144 On this cf P Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-

kryphen 2 491ndash515 esp at 495ndash497145 Cf Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 525ndash527 On the special question of

the historicaltemporal dimensions of the Apocalypse of John cf D E Aune Revela-tion 1ndash5 WBC 52A (Dallas Word Books 1997) lxxxivndashlxxxv

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

150 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Buch des Th omasrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 192ndash198

historiographical literature in the new testament 1811

described the Gospel of Mark more precisely as an historical mono-graph with eschatological tendencies122 Th e literary-historical perspec-tive which reads the gospel writings in the context of ancient historiography concentrates especially on the Gospel of Luke (see below) recently the Gospel of John too has been read in this light (Richard Bauckham)123

Th e discussion of the historiographical character of the Gospel of Mark can be illustrated by a recent approach (2006) I agree that Mark should be classifi ed under historiographical literature in the broader sense124 Unlike the approaches mentioned above my approach demar-cates the Gospel of Mark vis-agrave-vis biographical literature by highlight-ing its (sub-)historiographical character which I describe as follows First on the basis of Mark 11 the theme of the Gospel of Mark is seen as an event-historical monographic narrative of the beginning of the gospel125 Secondly the focus on the fi gure of Jesus is not primarily evaluated against the background of ancient biographies it is seen as a person-centered presentational element which is known from Jewish Hellenistic historiography (Artapanus)126 Th irdly the way in which the Gospel of Mark employs its sources and the interpretation of the historical narrative makes it comparable to works of ancient historiog-raphy (eg Polybius and Sallust)127 In particular the integration of the passion narrative (Mark 14ndash16) which to begin with has clear bio-graphical traits when compared to the ancient exitus literature128 into the total structure of the gospel presentation should be understood as a tendency to emphasize historiographical structures and to reduce

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

140 Cf most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 364ndash366

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

142 On this overview cf Becker ldquoAutobiographischesrdquo 82ndash83143 Cf G Minois Geschichte der Zukunft Orakel Prophezeiungen Utopien Progno-

sen (Duumlsseldorf and Zurich Artemis and Winkler 1998)144 On this cf P Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-

kryphen 2 491ndash515 esp at 495ndash497145 Cf Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 525ndash527 On the special question of

the historicaltemporal dimensions of the Apocalypse of John cf D E Aune Revela-tion 1ndash5 WBC 52A (Dallas Word Books 1997) lxxxivndashlxxxv

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

150 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Buch des Th omasrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 192ndash198

biographical narrative traits (cf also Tacitus Ann 1560ndash62)129 Th is means that the Gospel of Mark is a sub-historiographical writing and forms a genre sui generis in the fi eld of Hellenistic historiography in the broader sense

33 Th e Lukan Writings as Historiographical Literature

Th e so-called Lukan double work has a special position in historio-graphical research Here Martin Dibelius130 and Ernst Haenchen131 and most recently the studies by Eckhard Pluumlmacher132 have inter-preted the author Luke especially in the Acts of the Apostles as an historian133 In this context the comparison with Hellenistic-Roman historiography has led scholars to make a detailed identifi cation of historiographical narrative and stylistic elements (eg the motifs of miracles134 and the topos of the praefationes)135 Besides this the fol-lowing formal elements are ldquodecisiverdquo for the classifi cation of the Acts

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

142 On this overview cf Becker ldquoAutobiographischesrdquo 82ndash83143 Cf G Minois Geschichte der Zukunft Orakel Prophezeiungen Utopien Progno-

sen (Duumlsseldorf and Zurich Artemis and Winkler 1998)144 On this cf P Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-

kryphen 2 491ndash515 esp at 495ndash497145 Cf Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 525ndash527 On the special question of

the historicaltemporal dimensions of the Apocalypse of John cf D E Aune Revela-tion 1ndash5 WBC 52A (Dallas Word Books 1997) lxxxivndashlxxxv

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

150 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Buch des Th omasrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 192ndash198

historiographical literature in the new testament 1813

of the Apostles under historiographical literature ldquoa foreword syn-chronization speeches and lettersrdquo136 In the case of the Gospel of Luke the closeness of the author and his work to Hellenistic-Roman historiography is much discussed137 especially by Anglo-American exegetes138 In this context the praefatio or prooemium at Luke 11ndash4 is signifi cant since it recalls the topos of ancient historiographers (cf also Josephus War 11ndash30)139 We also fi nd other individual narrative and compositional historiographical elements in the Gospel of Luke eg the synchronisms in Luke 21 and 31 the speeches (Luke 620ndash22 217ndash9) or the itineraryπερίπλους (Luke 951ndash53)140

34 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Literature Related to the Historiographical Genre

We now present texts and forms which display two characteristics that were described above as typical of historiography in the broader sense these are texts written in prose which are concerned with the interpre-tation of history Unlike the gospel literature and the Acts of the Apos-tles however these are mostly shorter individual texts which are a part of a larger writing that cannot be classifi ed under the macro-genre of historiography because of its own specifi c characteristics Such texts belong rather to the genre of letter or apocalypse

136 J Jervell Die Apostelgeschichte KEK 3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 1998) 77 Jervell classifi es Acts more precisely as ldquotragic historiographyrdquo 78)

137 However this question is not raised in the two most recent German commen-taries on the Gospel of Luke when they discuss the genre of the Gospel cf H Klein Das Lukasevangelium KEK I3 (Goumlttingen Vandenhoeck amp Ruprecht 2006) M Wolter Das Lukasevangelium HNT 5 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 2008)

138 Cf eg J Fitzmyer Th e Gospel According to Luke IndashIX AB 28 (New York Dou-bleday 1981) 171ndash173 F Bovon Das Evangelium nach Lukas 1 Teilband (Lk 11ndash950 EKK III1 (Neukirchen-Vluyn Neukirchener Verlag 1989) 18ndash19 J B Green Th e Gospel of Luke NICNT (Grand Rapids Eerdmans 1997) 1ndash6 Cf also Aune New Testament 80ndash82

139 Cf Fitzmyer Gospel 287ndash289 Green Gospel 33ndash35 and most recently Wolter Lukasevangelium 57ndash61 On research into the Lukan prologue cf in general L Alex-ander Th e Preface to Lukersquos Gospel Literary Convention and Social Context in Luke 11ndash4 and Acts 11 (Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1993)

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

142 On this overview cf Becker ldquoAutobiographischesrdquo 82ndash83143 Cf G Minois Geschichte der Zukunft Orakel Prophezeiungen Utopien Progno-

sen (Duumlsseldorf and Zurich Artemis and Winkler 1998)144 On this cf P Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-

kryphen 2 491ndash515 esp at 495ndash497145 Cf Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 525ndash527 On the special question of

the historicaltemporal dimensions of the Apocalypse of John cf D E Aune Revela-tion 1ndash5 WBC 52A (Dallas Word Books 1997) lxxxivndashlxxxv

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

150 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Buch des Th omasrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 192ndash198

Page 28: HISTORIOGRAPHICAL LITERATURE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT … · 2017-09-21 · historiographical literature in the new testament 1789 kings in Greek historiography,7 the culture of remembrance

1814 eve-marie becker

1 Autobiographical passages in PaulTo the extent that autobiographical narrationes have an historio-graphical tendency (cf my remarks above on the hupomnecircmatacommentarii) some passages in the Pauline letters come close in their intention to historiography141 Here Galatians 1ndash2 and 2 Corinthians11ndash12 are particularly relevant Th e themes which Paul treats autobio-graphically vary between an account of his previous missionary activ-ity (1 Th ess 1 3 1 Cor 2ndash3) and a refl ection on his own person in the light of his vocation (eg 1 Cor 153ndash5) and his apostolate or apostolic mode of life (eg 1 Cor 9)142

2 Prophecy apocalyptic and the interpretation of historyProphetic and apocalyptic texts also come under the heading of histo-riographical literature where they formulate a look back on history andor eschatological scenarios which are the outcome of the percep-tion and interpretation of historical events and experiences Th is has prompted Georges Minois to see an historical and historiographical dimension in oracles and prophecies143 In the New Testament litera-ture144 the most prominent apocalyptic texts are Mark 13 parr and the Apocalypse of John145 Th ese have the function of interpreting and coping with history In the literature of the so-called Apostolic Fathers the concluding chapter of the Didache (16) can be called an apocalyp-tic text146

141 On this cf E-M Becker ldquoAutobiographisches bei Paulus Aspekte und Aufga-benrdquo in Biographie und Persoumlnlichkeit des Paulus ed E-M Becker and P Pilhofer WUNT 187 (Tuumlbingen Mohr Siebeck 20052009) 67ndash87 esp 73ndash75 O Wischmeyer ldquoPaulus als Ich-Erzaumlhler Ein Beitrag zu seiner Person seiner Biographie und seiner Th eologierdquo in Biographie ed Becker and Pilhofer 88ndash105

142 On this overview cf Becker ldquoAutobiographischesrdquo 82ndash83143 Cf G Minois Geschichte der Zukunft Orakel Prophezeiungen Utopien Progno-

sen (Duumlsseldorf and Zurich Artemis and Winkler 1998)144 On this cf P Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-

kryphen 2 491ndash515 esp at 495ndash497145 Cf Vielhauer and G Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 525ndash527 On the special question of

the historicaltemporal dimensions of the Apocalypse of John cf D E Aune Revela-tion 1ndash5 WBC 52A (Dallas Word Books 1997) lxxxivndashlxxxv

146 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 535ndash537

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151

147 Cf B Blatz ldquoDas koptische Th omasevangeliumrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 93ndash97

148 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Evangelium nach Philippusrdquo in Schneemelcher Apo-kryphen 1 esp 148ndash154

149 Cf Vielhauer and Strecker ldquoEinleitungrdquo 537ndash547 Moreschini and Norelli Lite-rature 160ndash165

150 Cf H-M Schenke ldquoDas Buch des Th omasrdquo in Schneemelcher Apokryphen 1 esp 192ndash198

35 Texts and Forms in the New Testament Apocrypha Related to the Historiographical Genre

In conclusion I mention the texts and writings from the fi eld of the so-called New Testament apocrypha which are related to the his-toriographical genre and may have been composed in the New Testament period as this was defi ned above ie no later than the mid-second century Once again these are prose texts which are concerned with the interpretation of history Th ese texts must be distinguished from others such as the Coptic Gospel of Th omas147 and the Gospel of Philip148 which belong to the literary genre of the collection of logia or fl orilegium from the Shepherd of Hermas which is a parenetic text149 and from so-called revelation dialogues such as the Book of Th omas150 Th e overview in Table (4) attempts to classify the relevant texts and writings under the three literary forms and genres (gospel Acts-literature related formsapocalypses) which we already fi nd in the New Testament literature Th is also brings to light literary-historical continuities and developments between New Testament literature and Christian literature outside the New Testament and shows their closeness to the historiographical macro-genre151
