In The Bosom Of Abraham: The Name And Role Of Poor Lazarus In Luke 16:19-31, Keith L. Yoder
Keith L. Yoder
This is a pre-peer-review revision of the paper I presented at the March 2018 Annual Meeting of the Eastern Great Lakes Biblical Society (SBL) in Akron, Ohio, which has been submitted for publication.
Here I examine the name and role of the poor man in the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31. Evidence developed from an intertextual reading of the parable through the lens of Septuagint Genesis and Job reveals the character of Lazarus to be a seamless weave of suffering Job and Eliezer the Servant of rich man Abraham. The nexus in Genesis 22-24 of …
