PONTIFICAL UNIVERSITY ST PATRICK’S COLLEGE MAYNOOTH The Nature of Jesus’ Obedience: A Narrative-Critical Reading of Matthew’s Gethsemane (26:36-46) TIMOTHY MEJIDA Supervisor: Dr Jessie Rogers A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Theology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of PhD in Theology March, 2021 i © 2021 Timothy Mejida ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii DECLARATION I, Timothy Mejida, confirm that I composed the thesis, that it has not been accepted in any previous application for a degree, that the work is my own, and that all quotations have been distinguished by quotation marks and sources of information specifically acknowledged. Timothy Mejida, March 23, 2021 iii ABSTRACT This study, using the Gethsemane passage as central, investigates Matthew’s portrayal of the textual Jesus’ obedience amidst various claims implicitly clamouring for supremacy. There are the conflicts with the religious authorities of Israel who label him as an impostor, his disciples who find his standard unattainable, and even God whose seeming inactivity throughout Jesus’ suffering may bring into question Jesus’ genuineness. In setting the stage for the investigation, this thesis first reviews briefly the interpretations of some key scholars on Gethsemane (Matt 26:36-46) (chapter two). Using narrative criticism, this key text is analysed with attention on the episodic characterisation of Jesus, especially the decipherable obedience features (chapter three). Jesus is shown to be authentically submissive to God’s will. Intratextual links between Gethsemane and the rest of the Gospel reveal that the Gethsemane obedience is consonant with the Matthean obedience theology (chapter four). The conviction that Gethsemane is a synopsis of the whole Gospel proves that Jesus’ portrayed obedience therein epitomises his lifelong obedience to God. Associations between Gethsemane and a few exemplary characters from the Hebrew Scripture demonstrate that Jesus’ obedience is rooted in the Old Testament tradition and even advances that of all genuinely obedient people of God since he perfectly fulfils all the law and prophets (chapter five). This study, therefore, fits into the debate regarding Matthean obedience theology and specifically the nature of obedience exhibited by Jesus. Jesus’ obedience was evaluated according to Herbert McCabe OP’s definition of obedience. On its own, Jesus’ submission to God’s will, as apparently implied in the Gethsemane text, would not pass McCabe’s test of perfect obedience. His notion of obedience would score Jesus’ obedience as perfect ultimately and only because the obedience resulted from a sharing of ‘one mind’ between God (superior) and Jesus (subject) geared toward an objective goal— in this case the world’s salvation. Accordingly, we conclude that Jesus’ lifelong obedience is the model and salvific obedience which every disciple is called to appropriate. Keywords: sonship, cup, prayer, watch, obedience, submission, doing the will of God, temptation, destiny, Son of God, Son of Man, θέλημά (will). iv To Sr Ann McElroy, HRS, whom I call my Irish mother 1930-2020 v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am grateful beyond words to God whose will should be the most cherished thing in his creation. I want to offer my thanks to a number of people who helped me during this process toward my PhD. The staff and faculty at St Patrick’s College, Maynooth, were always available when I needed help. In particular, Dr Jessie Rogers was a wonderful supervisor. I thank her for accompanying and guiding me on this journey and appreciate her inspiration and encouragement. I also received a great amount of support and encouragement from Professor Séamus O’Connell, Director of Postgraduate Studies, Dr Jeremy Corley, the Director of Research and the Chair of the Viva, and Dr Luke Macnamara, OSB, our lecturer in Narrative Criticism who doubled as the internal reader with painstaking attention to detail. I thank Dr Ian Boxall, the external examiner whose diligence is also rewarding. I appreciate all who supported me a lot spiritually, morally, and otherwise through it all. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to Bishop Anthony Adaji, MSP, of Idah Diocese, Bishop Michael Smith (retired in 2018) and Bishop Tom Dineehan (both of Meath Diocese) for their encouragement and support. Special thanks to Fr Paul Crosbie. I thank Fr Michael Whittaker and the parishioners of Rathmolyon and Enfield, and Fr Gerry Boyle and the parishioners of Lobinstown and Rathkenny. These parishes in conjunction with the diocese paid all fees through MTh and PhD. May God bless them for this graciousness and magnanimity. I am also thankful to all the clergy and people of Meath Diocese whose fraternal and friendly spirit I shall live to remember. I appreciate Miley Byrne (Lobinstown) for doing the initial proofreading of chapters 2-6 for grammar. This year will be remembered in history for the eerie worldwide coronavirus pandemic that for months has left every street and community centre desolate for a while with the lockdown and collective sense of vulnerability. Thus, I tag this year ‘the worldwide Gethsemane year.’ May the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic be translated into good by God and may the dead rest in the eternal peace of God.

    The Gethsemane Watch Prayers and Readings Maundy Thursday Into Good Friday 2020 Trinity Church in the City of Boston

    The Gethsemane Watch Prayers and Readings Maundy Thursday into Good Friday 2020 Trinity Church in the City of Boston As you meditate and pray in these hours between the Maundy Thursday liturgy and the Good Friday liturgy, feel free to make use of any of these materials. All those with page numbers after them come from A Triduum Sourcebook – Volume I, compiled by Joan Halmo and Frank Henderson, and published by Liturgy Training Publications, Chicago: 1996. Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, ‘Sit here while I go over there and pray.’ He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and agitated. Then he said to them, ‘I am deeply grieved, even to death; remain here, and stay awake with me.’ And going a little Farther, he threw himselF on the ground and prayed, ‘My Father, iF it is possible, let this cup pass From me; yet not what I want but what you want.’ Then he came to the disciples and Found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, ‘So, could you not stay awake with me one hour? Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the Flesh is weak.’ Again he went away For the second time and prayed, ‘My Father, iF this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.’ Again he came and Found them sleeping, For their eyes were heavy. So leaving them again, he went away and prayed For the third time, saying the same words.

Eiko Kadono lost her mother when she was fve. Be- fore long the Pacifc War started, so she had to be evacuated to the northern side of Japan at 10 years old. The experience of war as a child is at the root of Kadono’s deep commitment to peace and hapiness. She studied American literature at Waseda University, after graduation she worked at a publisher. After marriage she accompanied her hasband to Brazil and lived in San Paulo for two years. On the long voyage to and from Brazil, she was able to broaden her knowledge about the varied countries. These experiences brought up her curious and multicultural attitude toward creative activity. Her frst book was published in 1970, since then she pub- lished about 250 books, and these were translated into 10 languages. Kadono says “to start reading a book is like opening a door to a different world. It doesn’t close at the end of the story, another door is always wait- ing there to be opened. People will start to look at the world in a different way after reading a story, and it’s the beginning in a sense. And I think that is the true pleasure of reading.
  • Victims of the Same Destiny’

    Victims of the Same Destiny’

    ‘Victims of the Same Destiny’: Italy in the Postcolonial, the Postcolonial in Italy Thomas James Langley Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of English Literature, Language, and Linguistics Newcastle University September 2015 ii Abstract This thesis concentrates on a series of canonical Italian anti-Fascist writers, and argues that their work is informed and underpinned by an engagement with colonialism. Working between Italian and English, the thesis establishes an original framework for comparative reading, in which it traces neglected lines of literary influence and networks of intellectual and political dialogue between Italian and Indian writers in the inter-war and post-war periods. The first chapter explores the contours of the ‘anti-colonial imagination’ underpinning the work of Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci. Focusing particularly on his lesser-known and often un-translated pre-prison writings, it suggests that the critical terminology for which he has become best known in postcolonial studies emerges as part of his gradual elaboration of an anti-colonial position. The second chapter looks at the ways in which Ignazio Silone’s novel Fontamara represents Fascism as a form of internal colonialism, before moving on to think about the significance of its influence on Raja Rao’s Kanthapura and what the implications of this line of influence might be for our understanding of what defines postcolonial writing. The third chapter turns to the work of Carlo Levi, and argues that his lifelong commitment to exposing the internal colonization of the Italian South forms part of a broader anti-colonial commitment that carries him to India and brings him into dialogue with writers like Mulk Raj Anand.
