Jim,
note also what the Jewish
Encyclopedia (http://jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=1477&letter=A&search=maranatha#4221) has to say on Anathema under the sub-heading: A Measure of
Synagogal Discipline: "The first degree, ḥerem, the Anathema proper, was an
expulsion for an indefinite term and represented the final punishment of an
offender who had been repeatedly warned and corrected. The person so expelled
was muḥram (compare Anathema maran atha in I Cor. xvi. 22.
According to Graetz maranatha is a corrupt
transcription of ,
"Thou art anathema"; compare Holtzmann, "Handkommentar zum Neuen Testament," pp.
173, 174, note)."
According to Georg
Schnedermanns commentary on 1 Cor, both Luther and Calvin considered
maranatha to be a corrupt transcription of the aramaic muḥram môt' ("verbannt zum Tode").

There is always quotation from, or allusion to, 1 C. 16:22. Thus in a Christian burial inscr. from Salamis (either 4th or 5th cent., CIG, IV, 9303) we read: (Whoever lays another corpse in this grave between the two who rest here) … ἀνάθεμα ἤτω· μαραναθάν. Cf. also the canon of the Fourth Council of Toledo (633 a.d.): qui contra hanc nostram definitionem praesumpserit, anathema maranatha hoc est, perditio in adventu domini sit (can. 75). So 'maranatha' does seem to have functioned as a curse. That's quite contrary to the usual explanation. -- Jim West, ThD http://drjewest.googlepages.com/ -- Biblical Studies Resources http://drjimwest.wordpress.com -- Weblog _______________________________________________ Corpus-Paul mailing list Corpus-Paul AT lists.ibiblio.org http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/corpus-paul |
