Abstract:

To analyze some possible foci of a commentator's work a model of interpretation is applied: through Text (the commentary) a Sender/the Interpreter (the commentator) interprets a Text (the biblical text) to Recipients (the readers of the commentary) as the Message of Sender (the biblical author) with a certain Purpose to a Recipient (the addressee in the early church) who is in a given Situation (in the early church).
