Abstract

BOLANO MERCADO, Tomas Emilio. Pragamalinguistic Analysis of 1 cor 9, 24-27. Sports in a Pauline Perspective.. Cuest. teol. [online]. 2011, vol.38, n.90, pp.347-375. ISSN 0120-131X.

The pragmatic, narrative and semantic analysis of 1 Cor 9, 24-27 done on the Textus receptus of the Greek New Testament, with the literal translation of Lacueva, the dynamic version of the Nueva Biblia Española and within the literary context and sitz in leben, explains the use done by Saint Paul of the sportive language of the Isthmic Games to exhort Christians to the ascetic life. The pragmatic use done afterwards by the Church of this verses suggests a way of interpretation which can contribute to the development of the Christian thinking on sports. The examination of the immediate and following effects produced by this text in the Church teachings on Christian spirituality and the sports suggests a method which could go hand in hand with the theological discernment on modern sports.

Keywords : Sports; Paul; Pragmalinguistics analysis; Pauline metaphors; Sports spirituality.
