| 总结: | In his book, Paul and the Gift, John Barclay has demonstrated that Paul's ideas about xciqi;-Gift/Grace-are based on ancient understandings of gift. There are various facets of giftness, and Paul might differ from our preconceptions in that for him, 1) gifts are not 'without strings' but define relationships and involve social obligations; and Paul particularly emphasises 2) incongruity between giver and recipient, 3) superabundance of the gift, and 4) priority-that is, the gift is given before the obliged responses. Looking at the Parable of the Ungrateful Servant, this paper discusses the way that all four of these are emphases in Jesus's teaching as well (despite the lack of the umbrella term of Gift/Grace) and suggests that Paul will have received these ideas from the Jesus tradition. |
