The Background To The Dove Imagery In The Story Of Jesus’ Baptism(耶穌受洗記載中「鴿子」意象的背景) / 潘仕楷
撮要
為要提供背景資料,幫助我們明白福音書中,記載耶穌受洗的意義,本文嘗試追溯舊約時代、古代及後猶太教時代對「鴿子」意象的用法,並將所得的結論,與馬可福音記載耶穌受洗的目的貫通,從而確定「鴿子」的象徵意義是否與全書主旨吻合。
ABSTRACT
This paper will seek to trace the use of the dove imagery in the Old Testament, the ancient world in general, and post-biblical Judaism in order to provide a background for understanding the baptism account. The result will be correlated with an analysis of how the baptism story functions in the Gospel of Mark to validate whether the symbolic meaning fits into the total argument of the book.
