Blogging toward Sunday,
Theolog:
The Blog of The Christian Century. Current lectionary comments are by
Debbie Blue.
| "The
stories of Elisha and Elijah and Jesus suggest that radical change

even rational—yet it is perhaps the only thing that can save us." |

"Miracles
attributed to Jesus," wikipedia. |
| "Miracles,
In Other Words: Social Science Perspectives on Healings," Jerome H. Neyrey,
University of Notre Dame, 1995.
| "...we should
attend to the institution in which the healing takes place, either kinship or politics.
What roles does the family have in an illness? How are they socially and economically
affected? What role do they play in the seeking of a cure? What costs do they pay or debts
to they incur? What if the healing occurs in the political realm, even if this is a
healing shrine such as the temple of Asclepius at Epidaurus? Healings, moreover, might
have important political implications, for "prophets" arose, echoing themes of
liberation and freedom. The political significance of the account of the healing by the
Jewish Eleazar before the emperor Vespasian and his retinue should not be discounted
(Josephus. Ant. 8.45-48)." |
