Sinopse
Características

Messianic expectations in the first century ce were varied, but rarely did they include a figure associated with the sunrise or the direction of the east. However, in Lukes gospel the prophetic song (the Benedictus) of the priest Zechariah, father of John the Baptist, includes a title for Jesus that means the dayspring, dawn, or rising sun. Where did this title arise?In Jesus the Dayspring, Wenkel suggests that the connection between Jesus and the sunrise may have come from any number of texts and traditions contributing to the expectation of Gods divine presence visiting his people from the sunrise. The idea of the Lord who comes from the east also plays an important role in Lukes narrative of Jesus arriving in Jerusalem from the eastern side of the city as he enters from the Mount of Olives. Such details are often underappreciated but contribute to our understanding of Jesus as a messianic figure who would come like the sunrise. Wenkels search for other potential influences leading to this type of messianic language takes him into Genesis, Exodus, Isaiah, Hosea and Malachi. By casting his net to include allusions to looking eastward for redemptive hope, Wenkel suggests how Lukes portrait of Jesus as the dayspring or sunrise fits into a larger pattern of resonance across Israels scriptures.
