Le sens d’un isolexisme, de la Bible hébraïque aux Pères de l’Église = Paper = by Jean-Marie AUWERS, in PINCHARD L. and HAELEWYCK J.-C. (eds.), Traditions et Traductions des textes bibliques. Études de critique textuelle et d’exégèse en l’honneur de Prof. Christian-Bernard Amphoux à l’occasion de son 80e anniversaire (Langues et cultures anciennes, 35), Brussels, 2023.According to Ps 68 (67 LXX), God "ascended on high" and "took captivity captive" (v. 19). The Letter to the Ephesians applies the verse to Christ, who ascended to heaven at his Easter enthronement (Eph 4:8). The article seeks to clarify the meaning of 'taking captivity captive' in the context of the psalm and then in the context of Ephesians. After questioning the exegetes of both Testaments, it shows that the first Christian readers had contrasting opinions on the subject, sometimes surprising for a 21st century reader.Keywords: patristic exegesis - textual criticism - Irenaeus of Lyons - Gregory of Nazianzus - Ambrose of Milan - Jerome of Stridon - Augustine - John Chrysostom - Theodoret of Cyr------------------------------------------------------------- Volume | Other papers
