The Book of Joel abounds in the descriptions of God’s mighty acts, including his interventions in the workings of nature and the unfolding historical events in the life of Israel and the so-called heathen nations. It has long been recognized that these acts are important in structuring the book as a whole. They can be labelled as negative or positive for the life of Israel, depending on which part of the book we interpret. In the final form of the work there is a centreline between its two major parts (1:1–2:17; 2:19–4:21), separating the descriptions of divine punishment and lament from the accounts of restoration and joy when it comes to the relationship of the covenant community with God: “Then the Lord became jealous for his land, and had pity on his people” (Joel 2:18). This verse also serves as an introduction to 2:19–4:21. What has not yet been examined in detail, however, is that the descriptions of God’s working in the nations’ history and in nature can help read the book from the viewpoint of trauma/crisis and tenacity. In the midst of crises Israel’s only hope is to repent and turn to the Lord to have mercy. In repentance, the prophet’s resilience and compassion is also significant; his words are handed down to us in a form that resembles the terminology, mood and theological teaching of certain lament psalms of the Hebrew Bible, yet representing the tradition of the day of the Lord especially important in prophetic literature. This paper aims at investigating the Book of Joel from the perspective of trauma and tenacity with a view to the scriptural allusions the author employs.

Artykuł jest próbą zrecenzowania książki Massimiliano Scandroglio Gioele e Amos in dialogo. Inserzioni redazionali di collegamento e aperture interpretative, opublikowanej nakładem Gregorian&Biblical Press w 2011 r. Książka wpisuje się w dość popularny w dzisiejszej biblistyce nurt egzegezy intertekstualnej, która jest nową odsłoną starej metody porównawczej, badającej związki i zależności pomiędzy poszczególnymi księgami biblijnymi i tym samym proces ich powstawania. Scandroglio skupia swoją uwagę przede wszystkim na rozdziale 4. Księgi Joela i konfrontuje go z rozdziałami 1. i 9. Księgi Amosa. De facto, wnikliwej analizie intertekstualnej zostają poddane następujące perykopy: Jl 4, 1–3/Am 9, 13–15; Jl 4, 4–8/Am 1, 3–2,16; Jl 4, 9–17/Am 1, 2; Jl 4, 18–2/Am 9, 13–15. Ponadto wychodząc od literackich związków między dwoma prorokami, Autor stara się uchwycić podobieństwa i różnice w ich przesłaniu teologicznym, czemu poświęcona jest druga część książki. Na uwagę czytelnika zasługuje przede wszystkim obszerna analiza dwóch teologicznych tematów, a mianowicie motyw „Dnia Pańskiego” i relacja Izraela z obcymi narodami. W Zakończeniu Autor stara się ukazać metodę intertekstualną w jej historycznym rozwoju i wpływ, jaki ma ona obecnie na egzegezę Księgi Joela i Amosa.

La tesi dottorale di Massimiliano Scandroglio Gioele e Amos in dialogo. Inserzioni redazionali di collegamento e aperture interpretative, difesa al Pontificio Istituto Biblico di Roma il 4 giugno 2010, è uno studio articolato in due parti: nella prima parte il capitolo 4 di Gioele viene messo a confronto con alcuni versetti dei capitoli 1 e 9 del libro di Amos. I titoli dei rispettivi capitoli si riferiscono alle seguenti pericopi: Gl 4, 1–3 → Am 9, 13–15; Gl 4, 4–8 → Am 1, 3–2, 16; Gl 4, 9–17 → Am 1, 2; Gl 4, 18–21 → Am 9, 13–15, sebbene de facto ne vengano studiati soltanto alcuni versetti o espressioni. Dopo l’analisi dei versetti scelti, fatta nella prima parte del libro, l’Autore – nella seconda – propone una serie di riflessioni su due temi (il Giorno di JHWH in Gl 1, 15–20; 2, 1–11; 3, 1–5; 4, 1–3.9–17 e in Am 2, 6–16; 6, 1–7; 9, 1–4; 5, 18–20; e il rapporto tra Israele e le nazioni in Gl 4 e in Am 1–2; 3, 1–2; 6, 1–7; 9, 7–10), che costituiscono, a suo dire, “la base tematica”, su cui Gioele entra in dialogo con Amos. Nella Conclusione (pp. 339–367) viene offerta la panoramica generale sul cosiddetto “approccio intertestuale” e sulle conseguenze che esso ha per l’esegesi di Gioele ed Amos. Alla fine si trovano Bibliografia, Indice biblico e Indice degli autori.

This article attempts to review a book by Massimiliano Scandroglio Gioele e Amos in dialogo. Inserzioni redazionali di collegamento e aperture interpretative which was published by Gregorian&Biblical Press w 2011. This book forms a part of the trend of intertextual exegesis which is popular in contemporary Bible studies. It is a new version of the old comparative method which researches the relations and interdependencies between individual books of the Bible and consequently the process of their formation. Scandroglio focuses mostly on the chapters 4 of the book of Joel and 1 and 9 of Amos. He thoroughly analyses the following excerpts: Jl 4, 1–3/Am 9, 13–15; Jl 4, 4–8/Am 1, 3–2, 16; Jl 4, 9–17/Am 1, 2; Jl 4, 18–2/Am 9, 13–15. Starting from literary connections between the two prophets, the author tries to find similarities and differences in their theological message and he devotes the second part of his book to this subject. Two theological subjects are particularly noteworthy: the topic of the Day of the Lord and the relation between Israel and gentile nations. In conclusion the author tries to present the intersexual method, its historic development and the influence which it currently has on the exegesis of the books of Joel and Amos.
