I28-R145-4302_oai2025-11-17 Hernández Rodríguez, Alfonso M. 2018-04-19 This paper deals with Bede’s reception of the patristic interpretation of Melchizedek and his innovation on the subject. Bede used and interpreted the figure of Melchizedek in different ways, to support the existence of a genuine but non-Levitical priesthood pleasant to God. Also to note the existence of peoples loved by God (not to use the expression of chosen peoples) others than Israel. In that sense, Beda continued a traditional exegetical way that justified the existence of a Christian church and the legitimacy of a non-Jewish but Christian priesthood, which surpassed the Mosaic Law. The royal character of Melchizedek is interpreted as an eschatological attribution of Christ or as the best to indicate the existence of legitimate Christian kings, but at the same time restricting their authority. Melquisedec es un personaje notable en el texto bíblico. Notable porque reúne tanto la condición real como la sacerdotal. Esa doble función lo convierte en una figura de interés para los estudios acerca de la teología y la exegesis bíblica altomedieval. Sobre todo, para quienes nos dedicamos al análisis de la ideología política o de la teología política en ese período. La reflexión acerca de las figuras bíblicas en la exégesis medieval de las Sagradas Escrituras no es una novedad pero, en general, ha estado centrada en algunos de los grandes personajes –David sería el caso paradigmático1– a mi entender otros, incluso entre los más famosos, no han tenido tanta suerte, como es el caso de Melquisedec2. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/4302 10.34096/ahamm.v51.4302 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/4302/3822 Anales de Historia Antigua, Medieval y Moderna; Vol. 51 (2017); 61-70 1853-1555 1514-9927 Beda el Venerable exegesis medieval Melquisedec Bede The Venerable medieval exegesis Melkizedec The exegesis of Melchizedek from the Fathers of the Church to Bede the Venerable La exegesis de Melquisedec entre los Padres de la Iglesia y Beda el Venerable info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=moderna&d=4302_oai |

This paper deals with Bede’s reception of the patristic interpretation of Melchizedek and his innovation on the subject. Bede used and interpreted the figure of Melchizedek in different ways, to support the existence of a genuine but non-Levitical priesthood pleasant to God. Also to note the existence of peoples loved by God (not to use the expression of chosen peoples) others than Israel. In that sense, Beda continued a traditional exegetical way that justified the existence of a Christian church and the legitimacy of a non-Jewish but Christian priesthood, which surpassed the Mosaic Law. The royal character of Melchizedek is interpreted as an eschatological attribution of Christ or as the best to indicate the existence of legitimate Christian kings, but at the same time restricting their authority. |
