چکیده:
پژوهش حاضر تلاش دارد سخنان عیسی در موعظه سر کوه Q و اثربخشی آن بر رسالۀ یعقوب را بررسی کند. نگارندهگان با بهکارگیری روش توصیفیتحلیلی به این نتیجه دست یافتهاند که با نظر به موعظه سر کوه Q و رسالۀ یعقوب این تئوری مطرح میشود که عیسی بهمثابۀ یک مصلح اجتماعی که طریق تحول اجتماعی را در اصلاحات فردی، تغییر ارزشهای فرهنگی و وارونهساختن هویتها میداند، دست به انقلاب فرهنگی در جامعه میزند و یعقوب نیز بهعنوان پیرو و ادامهدهندۀ اصلاحات عیسی، دارای چنین دغدغهای است؛ ضمن آنکه هر دو هویت به لحاظ اجتماعی، از یک وجه، نمایندۀ تفکر واقعگرایی قلمداد میشوند؛ به این دلیل که قدرتنمایی در برابر امپراطوری قدرتمند روم را همانطور که زیلوتها با شکست مواجه شدند، بیفایده میدانستند و از وجه دیگر، نمایندۀ تفکر ایدهآلیستی قلمداد میشوند؛ زیرا با ارائۀ قواعدی فرااخلاقی به دنبال ساخت جامعهای آرمانی هستند.
The present study tries to examine the Sermon on Mount Q, the first written book of the New Testament, and its influence on the Epistle of James. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the authors conclude that according to the Sermon on Mount Q and the Epistle of James, Jesus makes a cultural revolution in the society as a social reformer, who sees the path of social transformation in individual reform, change of cultural values, and the reversal of identities, and James as a follower of his reform has such a concern. In addition, both identities are socially representative of realist thinking on the one hand because they considered useless fighting against a powerful Roman empire as the Zealots failed. On the other hand, they are considered the representative of idealistic thinking because they sought to build an ideal society by presenting trans-ethical rules. Keywords: Sermon on Mount Q, Social Revolution, Utopian Ideas, Epistle of James. IntroductionThe Sermon on Mount Q leads the audience to the essence of Jesus’ message for people of his time and the present era. Therefore, its correct understanding is still a necessity. In addition, the letter of James, indicating a Jewish interpretation of Jesus' words, is necessary to examine the measure of its affinity to Jesus’ teachings. The authors of this study try to investigate the social aspect of Jesus’ words in the Sermon on Mount Q and its impact on the Epistle of James. So, the main question of this research is whether social implications in the Sermon on Mount Q have influenced the content of the Epistle of James or not. The answer to this question will provide a clearer picture of Jesus and James.Materials and MethodsThe descriptive-analytical method and library research are the tool and materials used in this research. Through the systematic analysis of available data, this research has reached significant results about the words of Jesus in the Sermon on Mount Q and its effect on the Epistle of James. Research FindingsThe Sermon on Mount Q has a social color. In addition, the Epistle of James influenced it to have such color. Therefore, Jesus and James seem to be social reformers in these two texts. The common characteristics cited include the following:The utopian ideas, such as loving one's enemies, expresses universal love and, according to Auguste Comte, is the solution to all the problems of the time, including unity and empathy. Moreover, defining beatitude for the poor and promising to feed the hungry refer to honoring poor in the society and solving the existing social problem. Non-judgment, mercy and kindness, and the promise of the results of good deeds shape an ideal society in terms of moral, spiritual, and cultural aspects. Acting on the word and mourning for committing a wrong act are other aspects of this commonality. The above similarities, and other reasons raised in this research, indicate the formation of the intellectual structure of the Epistle of James in the context of the social teachings of the Sermon on Mount Q and the borrowing of this Epistle from sermon Q. Discussion of Results and ConclusionsIn the discussion of the influence of the Sermon on Mount Q on the Epistle of James, considering that it does not seem reasonable to make a definitive statement about the date of writing of these two texts, with the claim that new findings may appear over time, we can only rely on the similarities between the two texts, the contemporaneity of the two, and the precedence of Jesus over James. These reasons lead the reader to the conclusion that the origin of the Epistle of James is the text of the Sermon on Mount Q, which is full of moral teachings to determine a kind of lifestyle that is against the lifestyle of that time. Jesus as a social reformer and James as a follower of Jesus' reforms are concerned about the cultural revolution in the society. In addition, both identities represent the paradox of "realism-idealism". Although both considered it useless to show their strength against the Roman Empire as the Zealots were defeated, they were concerned about building an ideal society.
خلاصه ماشینی:
نگارندهگان با بهکارگیری روش توصیفیتحلیلی به این نتیجه دست یافتهاند که با نظر به موعظه سر کوه Q و رسالۀ یعقوب این تئوری مطرح میشود که عیسی بهمثابۀ یک مصلح اجتماعی که طریق تحول اجتماعی را در اصلاحات فردی، تغییر ارزشهای فرهنگی و وارونهساختن هویتها میداند، دست به انقلاب فرهنگی در جامعه میزند و یعقوب نیز بهعنوان پیرو و ادامهدهندۀ اصلاحات عیسی، دارای چنین دغدغهای است؛ ضمن آنکه هر دو هویت به لحاظ اجتماعی، از یک وجه، نمایندۀ تفکر واقعگرایی قلمداد میشوند؛ به این دلیل که قدرتنمایی در برابر امپراطوری قدرتمند روم را همانطور که زیلوتها با شکست مواجه شدند، بیفایده میدانستند و از وجه دیگر، نمایندۀ تفکر ایدهآلیستی قلمداد میشوند؛ زیرا با ارائۀ قواعدی فرااخلاقی به دنبال ساخت جامعهای آرمانی هستند.
در تقابل با این نگرش، نگاه کسانی همچون بارنز و بکر وجود دارد؛ مبنی بر اینکه عیسی با تعالیمی همچون تعالیم موعظه سر کوه هیچ نظریهای را درباره جامعه نیاورد و در بند ساختن اجتماع نبود (بارنز، بکر، 1358: 278)؛ اما دلایلی مطرح است که اثبات این مدعا را دچار خلل میسازد؛ بهطور مثال، انتقاد عیسی به معبد و معبدنشینان که عملاً او را وارد نزاع با نظام سیاسی - اجتماعی کرد (کونگ هانس، 1384: 48) و تئوریهای مبنی بر چالش، عصیان و تغییر وضع موجود جامعه در موعظه سر کوه، بر گستره تعالیم عیسی در جامعه و فراشخصی بودن آنها دلالت دارد.
