Yustinus Martir: Perbedaan antara revisi

Tidak jelas bagaimana asalnya Yustin menggunakan sebutan "catatan kenangan para rasul" sebagai persamaan kata untuk "kitab-kitab Injil". Sarjana [[David E. Aune]] berargumen bahwa kitab-kitab Injil dipolakan seperti biografi-biografi klasik [[Greco-Roman]], dan penggunaan istilah ''apomnemoneumata'' oleh Yustin mencakup semua kitab-kitab Injil dapat dipahami sebagai rujukan kepada biografi tertulis seperti ''[[:en:Memorabilia (Xenophon)|Memorabilia Xenophon]]'' karena kitab-kitab itu melestarikan ajaran asli Yesus.<ref name="Aune 1987 p. 67">Aune (1987) ''The New Testament in its Literary Environment'' p.&nbsp;67 – "Yustin Martyr (writing ca. 155) described the Gospels as 'reminiscences [apomnemoneumata] of the apostles' (1 Apology 66.3; 67.3) and 'reminiscences of Peter' (Dialogue with Trypho 106.3). Thus Yustin, like Matthew, Luke, and Papias, prefers to designate the Gospels by a recognized literary form. Though ''apomnemoneumata'' are not carefully defined in rhetorical handbooks, they are essentially expanded chreiai, i.e., sayings and/or actions of or about specific individuals, set in a narrative framework and transmitted by ''memory'' (hence "reliable").&nbsp;... His use of the term "reminiscences", therefore, suggests a connection to Xenophon's ''Memorabilia'' (in Greek ''apomnemoneumata''), a "biography" of Socrates."</ref> HoweverNamun, scholarsarjana [[Helmut Koester]] has pointed out the Latin title "Memorabilia" was not applied to Xenophon's work until the Middle Ages, and it is more likely ''apomnemoneumata'' was used to describe the oral transmission of the sayings of Jesus in [[early Christianity]]. [[Papias of Hierapolis|Papias]] uses a similar term meaning "remembered" (''apomnemoneusen'') when describing how [[St. Mark|Mark]] accurately recorded the "recollections of [[St. Peter|Peter]]", and Yustin also uses it in reference to Peter in ''Dial.'' 106.3, followed by a quotation found only in the [[Gospel of Mark]] (Mk 3:16–17). Therefore, according to Koester, it is likely that Yustin applied the name "memoirs of the apostles" analogously to indicate the trustworthy recollections of the apostles found in the written record of the gospels.<ref name="Koester 1990 pp. 33–34,38–40">Koester 1990 ''Ancient Christian Gospels: Their History and Development'' pp.&nbsp;33–34,38–40; pp.&nbsp;33–34 – "What Papias says about Mark reflects the use of categories which are drawn from the oral tradition.&nbsp;... The written gospels' authority is assured by the same technical terms which had been established for the oral tradition.&nbsp;... The term "remember" (mnemoneuein/apomnemoneuein) was decisive for the trustworthiness of the oral tradition." pp.&nbsp;39–40 – "The composite form of the verb "to remember" (apomnemoneuein) had been used by Papias of Hierapolis as a technical term for the transmission of oral materials about Jesus. If Yustin's term "memoirs of the apostles" is derived from this usage, it designates the written gospels as the true recollections of the apostles, trustworthy and accurate, and more reliable than any oral tradition which they are destined to replace."</ref>
