Example text
Second, what is implied by the word “portrait”? The term conjures up the image of an artist with his subject in person before him, who attempts to capture on canvas the special features and enduring characteristics of the sitter. But few scholars would accept nowadays that the anonymous writer of this text had any personal knowledge of Jesus, and hence that his “portrait” was painted with the benefit of such individual experience. As a second-generation Christian, Mark, as we have said, had the role of shaping the traditions about Jesus.
Closely related to the function of titles in shaping the characterization of Jesus are certain motifs that are developed in the unfolding of the gospel story. One such motif is that of Wisdom. Celia Deutsch, for instance (1996; cf. Suggs 1970; Burnett 1981), examines the metaphor of Lady Wisdom in the sapiential literature. She points to the tensive nature of metaphor that enables it to evoke ever new meanings in new situations. She then goes on to examine ways in which the Matthean gospel, especially in 11:2–13:58 and 19:1–25:46, “presents Jesus as Wisdom by ascribing to Jesus qualities and roles attributed to Lady Wisdom in other Jewish sources … Jesus is hidden and revealed, accepted and rejected.
They are formed and shaped as a reader encounters the web of plot, character interaction, images and metaphors (including titles), and a range of other rhetorical devices. They are informed by the theological or interpretive perspectives that scholars bring to their readings of the narrative. Also, the use of a range of biblical methodologies or interpretive strategies leads to variations in interpretations. Matthean scholarship, with the portraits of Jesus proposed therein during the second half of the twentieth century into the first decade of the new millennium, has been no stranger to this complexity.
