That opening led Luijendijk to believe the book contained a standard type of gospel. However, she found that the heavily used book was made up of 37 oracles, which rarely mentioned Jesus. If a person needed help with a problem, he would ask a question of the books owner. Then they would select an oracle at random to solve the problem. The books owner would interpret the oracles answer.
这样的开头使路易简德克认为这是本标准的福音书。然而,她发现这本年代久远的书由 37 个预言组成,而其中很少提到耶稣。如果有人需要帮助,他会问书的主人一个问题。然后他们会随意选择一个预言来解决这个问题。书的主人会解释这个预言。
Each oracle is written so vaguely that it could be used for many situations. An example would be: “Stop being of two minds, o human, whether this thing will happen or not. Yes, it will happen! Be brave and do not be of two minds. Because it will remain with you a long time and you will receive joy and happiness.”
每个预言是如此含糊以至于它可以被用于很多情况。一个例子是:“不要再三心二意,人类,不论这件事情是否会发生。是的,它会发生!要勇敢,不要三心二意。因为它会陪伴你很长的时间,你会得到快乐和幸福。”
Ancient lot books were consulted to predict peoples futures. Overall, this book takes a positive view of what lies ahead. However, Luijendijk had never known of another lot book that was referred to as a “gospel,” which translates as good news. That leads Luijendijk to believe that gospels may have been viewed differently in ancient times, perhaps not solely as texts about the life and death of Jesus.
