Pourquoi écrire sous le nom d'un autre? Hypothèses sur le phénomène de la pseudepigraphie néotestamentaire

Primary tabs

Burnet, Régis

Why are some texts of the New Testament Pseudepigraphs? Régis Burnet reviews the various responses that have been brought to this question and comes to the conclusion that the phenomenon is best explained as a reinterpretation of the work of an apostle by his disciples. He warns, however, against a naive understanding of this explanation by reminding that writing under the name of someone else was never an innocent activity in classical antiquity: the practice must challenge our notions of truth and faithfulness as well as our understanding of inspiration.
