Abstract

PUNT, Jeremy. The New Testament as political documents. Scriptura [online]. 2017, vol.116, pp.1-15. ISSN 2305-445X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7833/115-0-1280.

The political nature of the NT documents is carefully hidden away in the folds of a centuries-long tradition of Christianising and spiritualising the NT (and the Bible overall). The depoliticisation and demilitarisation of the NT works hand in glove with a long history of its dejudaising and equally long ghettoising of the Bible through narrow spiritual interpretation, obscuring or blurring its socio-political nature.

Keywords : Ghettoising; Depoliticising; Demilitarising; Dejudaising.
