Durch einen diskursanalytischen Vergleich ordnet T.R. Niles die Prädikation von Christus als »Bild des unsichtbaren Gottes« in verschiedene antike Bilderdiskurse ein (u.a. Qumran, Sapientia Salomonis , Philon und Plutarch), um die besonderen Konturen des Bildbegriffs im Kolosserbrief zutage zu fördern.InhaltsübersichtIntroduction A. Homo Pictor?B.

Inhalt:
Given the human propensity for making and using various kinds of images, it is little surprise that religious-philosophical authors from various ancient cultures used the concept of an »image« when speaking of the divine. What does the author of Colossians mean to convey by calling Jesus Christ the »image of the invisible God«? Through an examination of various image discourses and a detailed exegetical study of Colossians 1:15–20, T.R. Niles situates the image concept of Colossians within the image discourse of the first century A.D. and elucidates its specific contours.Survey of contentsIntroduction A. Homo Pictor?B.
