Corpus-Paul

["Given, Mark Douglas" <mdg421f AT smsu.edu>]

I did a paper at the national SBL in '99 on 1 Cor 8-10 that has a brief
discussion of "conscience" and some bibliography that might be of use.

http://courses.smsu.edu/mdg421f/All%20Things.htm

In the endnotes, see especially Gregory W. Dawes, "The Danger of
Idolatry: First Corinthians 8:7-13," CBQ 58 (1996) 82-98.  He has some
bibliography on pp. 95-97 concerning recent revisions of the range of
meanings for SUNEIDHSIS in Greco-Roman literature and Paul.

I hope this gets through in a timely fashion.  We're having some severe
email delays at SMS right now.

Hello All,

NOTE: I apologize in advance for the overlapping e-mail for those of you
who 
are on the B-Greek list. A fourth question has been added to this
message 
since it relates to Pauline theology which is outside of the scope of
the 
B-Greek list.

I have several questions related to the term SUNEIDHSIS which is usually

translated "conscience."

1. Are you aware of any Greek synonyms to this term?

2. Do you think that the translation "conscience" best conveys the sense
of 
the term? Why or why not?

3. Do you know if  anything has been written recently on this term? (I
have 
already consulted LSJ, TDNT, EDNT, TLOT, etc.)

4. How do you think the conscience relates to Paul's concept of 
sanctification?


Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Charles Savelle

I do not think so because "conscience" works against the dominant 
personality structure of the ancient Mediterranean.  Honour and shame 
are external behavioural controls, and can be contrasted with guilt, 
which is an interal behavioural control.  "Conscience" falls into the 
interal category.

A search of ATLA revealed several articles in French.  You might also 
look in _Biblical Social Values_ edited by Pilch to see if there is 
anything in there.

Cheers,  

Zeb

As an prelude to doing some statistical analysis on infinitives, this
evening I parsed a copy of greeknt.mrp (based on NA26) into an Access
database.  The first query I ran was to count the word totals in each book.
My query counts for the traditional Paulines are shown below,  confirming
exactly the counts previously posted:

Rom     7111
1Cor    6829
2Cor    4477
Gal       2230
Eph       2422
Phil      1629
Col      1582
1Thes   1481
2Thes     823
1Tim     1591
2Tim     1238
Tit         659
Phlm     335
Heb       4953

Counts for the other books were:
Matt     18346
Mark     11304
Luke     19482
John     15635
Acts     18450

Ron Price says:

>>  The following word counts are taken from A. Kenny's _A Stylometric Study
of the New Testament_ (Oxford: Clarendon, 1986, p.14). They are based on
_The Greek New Testament_, (K.Aland et al., 3rd. edn., 1975).

Rom     7111
1 Cor   6829
2 Cor   4477
Gal     2230
Eph     2422
Php     1629
Col     1582
1 Th    1481
2 Th     823
1 Tim   1591
2 Tim   1238
Titus    659
Phm      335
Heb     4953<<

Dang, beat me to it!

According to A. Q. Morton & James McLeman, _Paul, the Man and the Myth_
(Harper & Row, 1966)

Rom     7106
1 Cor   6814
2 Cor   4472
Gal     2233
Eph     2415
Php     1630
Col     1579
1 Th    1481
2 Th     822
1 Tim   1591
2 Tim   1238
Titus    657
Phm      336
Heb     4951

The book does not say which edition of the NT was used, but I believe I read
elsewhere that it was the then-current standard edition of the Greek NT
published by a recognized bible society in the UK (sorry, I couldn't find
the reference - I thought it was in Kenny above, but that book was not
indexed).
