La autoestigmatización en el movimiento de Jesúsensayo de exégesis socio-científica

Resumen

This is an interdisciplinary essay on New Testament Sociology which applies a sociological model (a theoretical knowledge frame) into the Jesus Movement (Jewish group gathering in Palestine around Jesus of Nazareth and continuing until 70 b.C.). To do this, in the first chapter is used several works on Deviance Sociology (Labeling, Stigmatization, Deviation, etc.) in order to build a model that describes and explains the process and strategy through which a deviant person can became into a charismatic leader of a group of stigmatized people and, so, into a charismatic for the whole society. This model (called autostigmatization) while has a trans-cultural features, can be applied into several groups and social movements and, so, into the Jesus movement. In the further chapters, it is worked out an exegetical task on several texts of the New Testament which allow reading the social process of the Jesus Movement, from Jesus of Nazareth until the development of the first Christian communities, as autostigmatization process. These exegetical chapters (2, 3, 4 and 5) work out four synoptic traditions: the following Jesus requirements (Lc 9,57–62 y Mt 8,18–22), the following Jesus dismissals (Lc 14,26–27;17,33; Mt 10,37–39; Mc 8,34–35;10,29–30), part of the Mount Sermon (Lc 6,20–35; Mt 5,3–12.39–42.44–48;7,12) and the Mission Sending (Lc 10,2–12; Mt 9,35–10,42; Mc 6,6–13). Each one of these chapters has two parts. In the first, it is used a Literary, Form, Tradition and Redaction Criticism in order to detect every stage and level in the text; this work reveal the development history of these traditions. The second part, applies the sociological model into the different literary levels of these traditions in order to determine the development of the self image of these people and their strategy to transform the society. This is an autostigmatization process which starts institutionalization quite early, when conflicts from either outside and inside call for more energy to support and maintain the new social world built in front of the society.
