Geza Vermes’s posthumously published The True Herod (p7) came has already elicited glowing reviews for its sleek aesthetic and rich content.

From the Theology side we have Theology, History, and Biblical Interpretation (p51), which will provide an invaluable resource to any student of theology.

Marxist Criticism of the Hebrew Bible Roland Boer "An excellent entrée into the depth and complexities of these philosophical thinkers, who tackled issues of economic exploitation and injustice head-on" Gale A. Yee, Episcopal Divinity School, USA The only large-scale critical introduction to Western Marxism for biblical criticism. Roland Boer introduces the core concepts of major figures in the tradition, specifically Althusser, Gramsci, Deleuze and Guattari, Eagleton, Lefebvre, Lukács, Adorno, Bloch, Negri, and Jameson. Throughout Boer shows how Marxist criticism is relevant to biblical criticism, in terms of approaches to the Bible and in the use of those approaches in the interpretation of specific texts. In this second edition, Boer has added chapters on Deleuze and Guattari, and Negri. Each chapter has been carefully revised to make the book more useful on courses, while maintaining challenges and insights for postgraduate students and scholars. Theoretical material has been updated and sharpened in light of subsequent research and a revised conclusion considers the economies of the ancient world in relation to biblical societies. Roland Boer is Professor of Literature at Renmin University of China, Bejing, and a senior researcher at the University of Newcastle, Australia.

Who on Earth is God? Making Sense of God in the Bible

Constantine Tischendorf The Life and Work of a 19th Century Bible Hunter Stanley E. Porter Constantin von Tischendorf was a pioneer. He existed in an age when biblical studies as we know it was being formed, when the quest for forgotten manuscripts and lost treasures was being undertaken with no less zeal and intrigue than it is today. It was Tischendorf who found, and preserved, the oldest extant version of the complete bible that we know of, the so-called Codex Sinaiticus, which he discovered in poor condition at St Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai, in 1846. With the discovery of the Codex Tischendorf, and others, was to take the study of biblical texts further than ever before, through linguistic methods, and attention to the most ancient sources available. In many ways Tischendorf was a father figure of the modern Historical Critical Method.

In this short biography, Stanley E. Porter, himself one of the most respected scholars of the New Testament and Koine Greek currently writing, gives a portrait of Tischendorf's life and work, together with an annotated republication of Tischendorf's influential work on the Gospels. Published to celebrate Tischendorf's bicentenary, in 2015, this volume will be a must for those seeking to understand how the study of biblical manuscripts began, and to understand the man who discovered the oldest version of the bible as we know it.

Neil Richardson "Richardson offers a way through the problems [of biblical interpretation] that respects his readers; he does not disparage questions or demand 'blind faith' and yet he offers a way of faith that is serious and supportive. Somehow he manages to do this in an accessible style, inviting his readers into reflection and discussion." Judith Lieu, University of Cambridge, UK How should we understand the God of the Bible? In Who On Earth is God? Neil Richardson provides the answer to this question and more. Richardson tackles the hard issues surrounding some of the more problematic passages head on, looking at divine anger, violence and jealousy, and suggesting how these can be interpreted. Richardson engages with the difficult questions posed by contemporary issues, and the 'new atheism' pioneered by popular writers such as Richard Dawkins. This takes discussion 'beyond the bible' into later developments in thought, and notions of God in a post-modern context. An indispensable guide for people with or without faith, wrestling with these difficult, and eternal, questions and themes. Neil Richardson was Tutor in New Testament Studies and later Principal of Wesley College, Bristol, UK. He served as President of the British Methodist Conference in 2003-2004.

An Introduction to the Study of Ezekiel Michael A. Lyons An introduction to the study of Ezekiel that lays out for the reader the central issues for the interpretation of the book of Ezekiel. After explaining how the message of the prophet was relevant to the exilic situation in which he lived, this thorough guide shows how later generations shaped, transmitted, and used Ezekiel in their own communities. The book summarizes the literary shape and contents of Ezekiel, then examines the theories and methodologies used in current scholarship that explain the formation of Ezekiel. Lyons next explains for the reader the theology and major themes of Ezekiel, and closes by evaluating how the arguments of Ezekiel relate to each other as a coherent rhetorical strategy.

Rethinking Biblical Literacy

The Israelite Woman

Edited by Katie Edwards

Social Role and Literary Type in Biblical Narrative

Rethinking Biblical Literacy examines the Bible's use, influence and impact in advertising, street art, poetry, popular erotic literature, Irish and UK secondary education, stand-up comedy and The Simpsons TV series to display the different types of literacy and knowledge of the Bible. The picture created is one of a broad range and at times surprising depth of knowledge about what remains arguably the most influential collection of texts ever to be published.

Athalya Brenner-Idan In the first edition of The Israelite Woman Athalya Brenner provided the first book-length treatment by a feminist biblical scholar of the female characters in the Hebrew Bible. Now, thirty years later, Brenner provides a fresh take on this ground-breaking work in a new introduction which considers how the ways in which scholarly observation of female biblical characters has changed and how it has not. Brenner also provides a new and highly personal preface to the book, which details, perhaps surprisingly to present readers, what was at stake for female biblical scholars looking to engage honestly in the academic debate at the time in which the book was first written. This will make difficult reading for some, all the more reason they should read it. The main part of the book presents Brenner’s now classic examination of the roles of women in the society of ancient Israel, and the roles they play in the biblical narratives. In Part I Brenner surveys what can be known about the roles of queens, wise women, women poets and authors, prophetesses, magicians, sorcerers and witches and female prostitutes in Israelite society. In Part II the focus is on the typical roles in which Hebrew women appear in biblical stories, as mother of the hero, as tempress, as foreigner, and as ancestress. Athalya Brenner-Idan is Professor Emerita of the HB\OT Chair at the Universiteit van Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and currently Professor in Biblical Studies at the Department of Hebrew Culture Studies, Tel Aviv University, Israel, and Research Associate at the Biblia Arabica Project there. In addition, she is Extraordinary Professor at the Department of OT/NT, Faculty of Theology, Stellenbosch University, South Africa. Her website is http://athalya-morah-letorah.com.

Psychological Hermeneutics for Biblical Themes and Texts A Festschrift in Honor of Wayne G. Rollins

The History of the Jewish People in the Age of Jesus Christ: Volume 1

Edited by J. Harold Ellens

By Emil Schurer

For centuries scholars have been developing ways of studying the bible, through exegesis, historical critique, literary critique, form criticism, and narrative analysis. During the last half century new theoretical approaches have come to the fore. Psychological Hermeneutics takes as its starting point the text itself, and its context - the dynamics of the human document created, the person(s) who authored the text, the original audience for which it was intended, the subsequent audiences to which it spoke, and the factors that were at play behind, in, and in front of the text. The contributions to this volume examine the growth of Psychological Hermeneutics as a discipline within biblical studies. The book is structured in two parts. The first assesses the approach taken by Wayne G. Rollins, one of the pioneers of this field. The second provides applications of Rollins' approach. The result is a book which presents a state-of-the-art survey of the discipline and development of Psychological Hermeneutics over the last thirty years. J. Harold Ellens is a highly published scholar on the interface of the disciplines of psychology and religion/spirituality. He is a Professor Emeritus of the University of Michigan, a retired Presbyterian theologian and pastor, and a retired US army chaplain UK January 2014 • US March 2014 352 pages PB 9780567644336 • £19.99 / $34.95 • HB 9780567595867 • £70.00 / $130.00 Individual eBook 9780567242198 • £21.99 / $32.99 Library eBook 9780567566027 • £66.00 / $106.00 Bloomsbury T&T Clark

The True Herod

Israel and Empire

Geza Vermes

A Postcolonial History of Israel and Early Judaism

"In this final book of his career Geza Vermes's insightful eye remains as sharp as ever. Vermes aruges that Herod was a complex figure, capable of terrible acts, but also of loyalty and diplomatic brilliance. Beautifully illustrated, and written with a real relish for presenting a personality almost larger than life." Joan E. Taylor, King's College London, UK Who was Herod the Great? How did he come to govern one of the most politically tumultuous regions in the world? Was he the heartless baby-killer of Matthew's Gospel, or does this popular tale do Herod a great disservice? Geza Vermes provides a new portrait of Herod, based on primary sources and archaeological evidence. Colour images, combined with Vermes' lively prose make this book an enticing and informative guide to one of Ancient History's most misunderstood figures. Géza Vermes was Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies at the University of Oxford, UK and was one of the world’s greatest experts on the historical Jesus, Christian beginnings, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. With the publication of Jesus the Jew (1973) he introduced the idea of Jesus as a 1st century Jewish holy man to the general public. His book The Dead Sea Scrolls in English (1962) introduced the English reader to the Scrolls, going on to sell over half a million copies.

The T&T Clark Hebrew Primer A. A. Macintosh & C.L. Engle "A pleasure to use… even to read it in one breath…" Emanuel Tov, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel "I heartily recommend this book for anyone who is interested in brushing up on their biblical Hebrew." Judith Hadley, Villanova University, USA "Ideal as a DIY refresher course." Robert Gordon, University of Cambridge, UK Learning Biblical Hebrew can be extremely difficult. Here at last is a book designed to work in conjunction with the many Hebrew Grammars available in order to break this complex language down into bite-size chunks for revision and consolidation of key aspects of grammar, as well as vocabulary.

Leo G. Perdue & Warren Carter "A deceptively sharp and striking volume. This book rightfully calls us to review our ideas and reframe our deepest questions about colonialism, decolonization and neo-colonialism." R.S. Sugirtharajah, University of Birmingham, UK Israel and Empire introduces students to the history, literature, and theology of the Hebrew Bible and texts of early Judaism, enabling them to read these texts through the lens of postcolonial interpretation. This approach should allow students to recognize not only how cultural and socio-political forces shaped ancient Israel and the worldviews of the early Jews but also the impact of imperialism on modern readings of the Bible.

Introducing the New Testament Henry Wansbrough Introducing the New Testament presents the complex and often challenging texts and history of the New Testament in a clear and informative manner. The book begins with a section that gives readers a clear idea of how to use it most effectively for study and personal research, followed by a chapter which outlines the various manuscript traditions and processes of transmission that resulted in the biblical texts we have before us today. With this groundwork complete, readers are then introduced to all the texts of the New Testament, and to major issues and debates such as the 'Historical Jesus' the 'Synoptic Problem' and current debates surrounding inspiration - how these texts can be seen in both a historical context and in the context of religious faith. The book features maps, chapter summaries, sample essay questions, chapter bibliographies and reading lists, and an annotated glossary of key terms. Henry Wansbrough OSB is a Benedictine Monk of Ampleforth Abbey, and former Master of St Benet's Hall, Oxford. He served on the Pontifical Biblical Commission under Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Currently, Fr Henry is Alexander Jones Professor of Biblical Studies at Liverpool Hope University, UK.

Into the World of the New Testament Greco-Roman and Jewish Texts and Contexts Daniel Lynwood Smith Daniel Lynwood Smith orients readers of the New Testament to its historical and cultural settings, introducing the cast of characters, and illuminating key concepts by exploring their use in ancient texts. Smith includes quotations from many primary sources including Josephus, Tacitus, the Qumran Community, Pliny the Younger, and other carefully chosen texts from lesser-known ancient sources. These texts are all carefully woven together with commentary, to provide a narrative framework for the material and guide students through the text. A glossary of complex terms is provided, to make everything as clear as possible for the newcomer to New Testament studies. This integrative approach both introduces the key sources to the reader and elaborates on their significance for understanding the New Testament. In an admirably concise format Smith is able to cover the military-political history of Israel-Palestine, the messianic movements of Second Temple Judaism, the ancient practice of crucifixion and the development of the Christian canon. Through immersion in these ancient Jewish, Christian, and Greco-Roman texts and contexts, contemporary readers take a step closer to experiencing the New Testament with first-century eyes and ears. Daniel Lynwood Smith is Assistant Professor of New Testament at Saint Louis University, USA.

An Introduction to the Study of Paul David G. Horrell "Put your other books on Paul to one side and begin here." Mark Goodacre, Duke University, USA This tried and tested introduction to Paul needs little introduction of its own. After considering Paul's importance and influence, and the significant sources for the study of Paul, the volume covers the following key topics: the earliest period of Christianity - from Jesus to Paul; Paul's life before and after his 'conversion'; his individual letters; the major elements of his theology; his attitude to Israel and the Jewish law; new approaches to the study of Paul, including social-scientific and feminist approaches; and Paul's legacy in the New Testament and beyond. Newly added for the third edition are sections on Paul and modern philosophy (Agamnen and Badiou), and Paul and sexuality. More generally the volume has been fully updated with respect to bibliography, and to presenting the latest debates surrounding Paul's thought in a manageable format - including those around Pauline anthropology, Paul and politics and the concept of righteousness. The helpful study questions and reading lists have also been revised. David G. Horrell is Professor of New Testament at the University of Exeter, UK.

Colossians BNTC Paul Foster Foster provides the commentary on Colossians in this renowned series of biblical commentaries, under the General Editorship of Professor Morna D. Hooker (Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity Emerita in the University of Cambridge, UK). As with other volumes in the series, the key questions for scholars are scrutinised thoroughly - questions of historicity, the use of historical traditions and sources, the relationship of Colossians to the rest of the New Testament in particular the Pauline letters, authorship, and setting. Foster examines these issues in such a way as to present the heart of the academic debate to a wider audience, as befitting to the series reputation for rigorous commentary, which not only advances the knowledge of students and pastors, but also makes a contribution to the academic discourse in its own right. Paul Foster is Senior Lecturer in New Testament at the University of Edinburgh, UK.

The Ammonites

Sons or Lovers

Elites, Empires, and Sociopolitical Change (1000-500 BCE)

An Interpretation of David and Jonathan's Friendship

Craig W. Tyson

Jonathan Y. Rowe

This book investigates the archaeological, epigraphic, and biblical evidence for the course of Ammon's history, setting it squarely within the context of ancient Near Eastern imperialism. Drawing on cross-cultural parallels from the archaeology of empires, Tyson elucidates the dynamic processes by which the local Ammonite elite made the cousins of biblical Israel visible to history. Tyson explains changes in the region of Ammon during the Iron Age II, namely the increasing numbers of locally produced elite items as well as imports, growth in the use of writing for administrative and display purposes, and larger numbers of sedentary settlements; in the light of the transformative role that the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian empires played in the ancient Near East. The study also widens the conversation to consider cross-cultural examples of how empires affect peripheral societies. Craig W. Tyson, Ph.D. (University of Michigan) is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at D'Youville College in Buffalo, NY, USA. His publications and research interests focus on the social history of the Levant and literary readings of the Hebrew Bible.

Rowe discusses theoretical issues of interpretation and summarises how Bakhtin's theory of heteroglossic voices can be utilised to understand the narrative. He deliberates over the key aspects of family life in the world described by the Old Testament, surveys approaches to the study of the family among anthropologists and, finally, states how anthropology can inform the interpretation of the biblical text. Starting from the concept of 'hegemonic masculinity', Rowe examines how men in general are presented positively, and then shows how Jonathan, David and Saul measure up to these standards. Rowe concludes that although Jonathan was disloyal to his family, something that implied readers would have censured, the books of Samuel present this disloyalty as honourable, thus making a theological point about fidelity to the house of David.

Reception History and Biblical Studies Theory and Practice Edited by Emma England & William John Lyons Through a series of examples of reception history practitioners at work and of their reflections this volume sets the agenda for biblical reception, as it begins to chart the near-infinite series of complex interpretive ‘events’ that have been generated by the journey of the biblical texts down through the centuries. The chapters consider aspects as diverse as political and economic factors, cultural location, the discipline of Biblical Studies, and the impact of scholarly preconceptions, upon reception history. Topics covered include biblical figures and concepts, contemporary music, paintings, children’s Bibles, and interpreters as diverse as Calvin, Lenin, and Nick Cave. Emma England is Guest Researcher at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Her publications include work in children’s Bibles and comics.

Rowe examines David and Jonathan's friendship in the context of what ancient readers would have understood as the 'natural' loyalty to their families. Rowe focuses on the conflicting moral goods between which the men choose, seeking to understand the dynamics of the narrative consonant with ancient society.

The Reformed David(s) and the Question of Resistance to Tyranny Reading the Bible in the 16th and 17th Centuries Nevada Levi DeLapp This study centers on the question: how do particular readers read a biblical passage? What factors govern each reading? DeLapp here attempts to set up a test case for observing how both socio-historical and textual factors play a part in how a person reads a biblical text. Using a reception-historical methodology, he surveys five Reformed authors and their readings of the David and Saul story (primarily 1 Sam 24 and 26).

Ezra's Social Drama

Constructions of Space V

Identity Formation, Marriage and Social Conflict in Ezra 9 and 10

Place, Space and Identity in the Ancient Mediterranean World

Donald P. Moffat

Edited by Gert T.M. Prinsloo & Christl M. Maier

Moffat aims to provide further insight into the mixed marriage narrative by exposing the social and cultural factors on which it is based. He also identifies historical traces in the narrative that can contribute to a historical reconstruction of the post-exilic era. The socio-cultural analysis highlights previously unobserved aspects of the narrative as it understands that the narrative reflects a context in which identity formation issues were prominent in Persian Yehud. Moffat argues that the rituals of mourning and penitential prayer are important acts that shaped the mixed marriage controversy. The label ‘foreign women' is identified as a symbol which carried considerable freight and connected the mixed marriages with wider social discourse on identity. Further, the Exodus traditions are shown to be significant for the conceptual foundations underlying the narrative and the society that produced it. The analysis also gives reason to understand Ezra as the pivotal character in narrative plot. This not only affects how the narrative is understood but has implications for historical reconstruction that utilises this narrative. Don Moffat holds a Ph.D. from the University of Otago and is a former regional Dean of Studies for the Bible College of New Zealand (now Laidlaw College). He currently divides his time between writing and teaching roles for various theological institutions.

This fascinating collection investigates the inherent spatiality of human existence. The contributors discuss ancient Mediterranean texts and societies from a decidedly spatial perspective, debating over such issues as narratological space, critical spatiality, sociological theories on space, space and identity, space and body. The volume consists of three parts and commences with three studies focusing on theoretical approaches towards spatial analysis and application of the theory to specific Old and New Testament texts. The essays in the second part examine the sacred space and the formation of identity, with particular attention to Jerusalem and the temple seen as sacred space and the lived experience of authors describing this space in various ways. The third part discusses the spatial theory and its application to a variety of texts ranging from the Epic of Gilgamesh to the New Testament. Gert T.M.

Exclusive Inclusivity Crossing the Jordan Diachrony Versus Synchrony in the Book of Joshua Eun-Woo Lee This book presents a test case for diachronic and synchronic approaches in Joshua 3-4. Lee introduces the synchronic readings of Polzin, Hawk and Winther-Nielsen, as well as their attempts to uncover the problems in applying their methods to this complicated text. He then investigates the differences between the MT and the LXX of Joshua 3-4 through text critical analysis and reconstructs the Hebrew Vorlage of LXX - Joshua 3-4 considering divergences between major Greek editions; and examines the limitations of Polzin's synchronic study in reading only from the final text of the MT. For the purpose of reading the literary history of Joshua 3-4 in a diachronic way, Lee considers what position this text holds in the setting of the wider context of the ark narratives and water-crossing stories in the Old Testament, e.g. the crossing of the Red Sea in Exodus 13.17-14.31 and with Elijah and Elisha crossing the river in 2 kings 2. He examines the recent trends in literary criticism and attempts to trace the most probable literary history of Joshua 3-4.

Identity Conflicts between the Exiles and the People who Remained (6th-5th Centuries BCE)

T he L ibrary of H ewbrew / O ld T estament S tudies

Dalit Rom-Shiloni Proceeding from the later biblical evidence to the earlier, from the Persian period sources (Ezra– Nehemiah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Deutero-Isaiah) to the Neo-Babylonian prophecy of Ezekiel and Jeremiah, Exclusive Inclusivity explores the ideological transformations within these writings using the sociological rubric of exclusivity. Social psychology categories of ethnicity and group identity provide the analytical framework to clarify that Ezekiel, the prophet of the Jehoiachin Exiles, was the earliest constructor of these exclusive ideologies. Thus, already from the Neo-Babylonian period, definitions of otherness were being set to shape the self-understanding of each of the post-586 communities, in Judah (Yehud) and in the Babylonian Diaspora, as the exclusive People of God. As each community reidentified itself as the in-group, arguments of otherness were adduced to diregard and delegitimize the sister community. The polemics against "foreigners" in the Persian period literature are the ideological successors to the earlier ideological conflict.

The Binding of Isaac A Religious Model of Disobedience Omri Boehm "A rare delight. Boehm offers a fresh and sometimes disturbing reading... This is a rich and thought-provoking book" Swedish Exegetical Yearbook According to tradition, but for the intervention of the angel, Abraham would have killed his son. Obedience to God takes precedence over morality as humanly conceived. Yet, the angel of YHWH that appears to Abraham is a later addition to the text; thus, in the original narrative Abraham actually disobeys the divine command to slay his son, and sacrifices a ram instead. In the first section Boehm shows how the 'original' version of the narrative did not contain the angelic figure. The second part of the book re-examines various religious interpretations of the text. According to these exegetes the esoteric layer of the story in fact declares that disobedience to God's command was Abraham's true affirmation of faith. In the third part of the book, Boehm re-opens the philosophical debate between Kant and Kierkegaard. Boehm concludes the book by contending that the monotheistic model of faith presented by Abraham was actually a model of disobedience.

Hugh S. Pyper This volume explores a number of instances of unexpected but influential readings of the Bible in popular culture, literature, film, music and politics. The argument in all of them is that the effects of the Bible continues to have an effect on contemporary culture in ways that may surprise and sometimes dismay both religious and secular groups. That the Bible was at one time chained in churches is true. The subversive misreading of this enchainment as a symbol of a book in captivity to the established church is hard to suppress, however. Yet, once released from these chains, the Bible proves to be a text that gets everywhere and which undergoes surprising and sometimes contradictory metamorphoses. The pious advocates of making the Bible accessible who sought to free it from the churches' chains are the very people who then decry some of the results when the Bible is free to roam. Hugh S.

Focusing Biblical Studies: The Crucial Nature of the Persian and Hellenistic Periods Essays in Honor of Douglas A. Knight Edited by Jon L. Berquist & Alice Hunt This volume makes a positive intervention into maximalist/minimalist debates about Israelite historiography by pointing to the events that happened during the Persian and Hellenistic periods. During this historical epoch, traditions about Israel and Judah's founding became fixed as markers of ethnic identity, and much of the canonical Hebrew Bible came into its present form. Concentrating on these events, a clearer historical picture emerges. The entire volume is set within the context of Douglas A. Knight's contributions, which have encouraged a rigorous social-scientific and tradition-historical approach to the Hebrew Bible and ancient Israel in general.

By the Irrigation Canals of Babylon Approaches to the Study of the Exile Edited by John J. Ahn & Jill Middlemas This work assembles some of the finest scholars who have contributed to study and examination of the impact of the exile in biblical literature. Past, present, and future scholars examining the 6th century B.C.E. through historical and archeological (including paleoclimatology), literary, and the social sciences have been assembled. Approximately 12 papers from among the 20 papers presented over the four sessions (parallel to a sizable conference on the exile) will be represented in this volume. The book will be organized in a traditional history of scholarship manner, i.e., moving from historical to sociological. It should be noted that within each subcategory, there is a forward progressive movement from a traditional starting point (Klein, Olson, Wilson) ending at the progressive or cutting edge (Beck, Ahn). Jill Middlemas will open the volume with and introductory essay. John Ahn will close off the volume by pointing to the field of 'forced migration studies' as a way to help better define and demarcate the import of 597, 587, and 582. John J. Ahn is Adjunct Professor of Judaism & Religious Studies, St. Edward's University, Austin, TX, USA.

'Perhaps there is Hope' Reading Lamentations as a Polyphony of Pain, Penitence, and Protest Miriam J. Bier Bier proposes here a strong new understanding of the Book of Lamentations, drawing on Bakhtinian ideas of multiple voices to analyse the poetic speaking voices within the text; examining their theological perspectives, and nuancing the interaction between them. Bier scrutinises interpretations of Lamentations, distinguishing between exegesis that reads Lamentations as a theodicy, in defense of God, and those that read it as an anti-theodicy, in defense of Zion. Rather than reductively adopting either of these approaches, this book advocates a dialogic approach to Lamentations, reading to hear the full polyphony of pain, penitence, and protest. Miriam J. Bier is lecturer in Old Testament at London School of Theology, UK. She is co-editor of Spiritual Complaint: Theology and Practice of Lament (Eugene: Pickwick, 2013).

Zechariah and His Visions An Exegetical Study of Zechariah's Vision Report Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer Did Zechariah really see visions? This question cannot be definitely answered, so the idea must remain a hypothesis. Here, Tiemeyer shows that this hypothesis is nonetheless reasonable and instrumental in shedding light on matters in Zechariah's vision report that are otherwise unclear. Tracking through each verse of the text, the key exegetical problems are covered, including the topics of the distinction between visions and dreams, dream classification, conflicting sources of evidence for dream experiences, and rhetorical imagery as opposed to dream experience. Further attention is focused on the transmission of the divine message to Zechariah, with the key question raised of whether a visual or oral impression is described. The impact of how the text would be received had an effect on how the text was written, so that the seer, in an effort to convey the experience to his readers, described a three-tier reality and, in a trance state, Zechariah communicates with the Interpreting Angel, while also receiving glimpses of a deeper reality, also known as the ‘visionary world.’ Dr Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer is Senior Lecturer in Hebrew Bible, University of Aberdeen, UK.

Mediating Between Heaven and Earth Communication with the Divine in the Ancient Near East Edited by C.L. Crouch, Jonathan Stökl & Anna Elise Zernecke This volume brings together experts in the study of ancient prayers and divination methods to analyse the variety of means by which human beings sought to communicate with their gods and by which the gods were seen to communicate with their worshippers. In a departure from previous scholarship, the volume brings together the study of prophecy, as an intuitive form of divination, with the study of technical methods of communication and other forms of institutionalised communication such as prayer. Such a format allows divine-human communication to be studied in both directions simultaneously: the means by which the divine communicates to human beings through divination, and the means by which human beings communicate with the divine through prayer. This new perspective on the study of divine-human-divine communication allows scholars to better appreciate the way in which communication and the relationship between heaven and earth was conceived in the ancient near East.

'And He Will Take Your Daughters...' Woman Story and the Ethical Evaluation of Monarchy in the David Narrative April Westbrook April Westbrook explores the intentional inclusion of woman stories (those displaying significant female presence) within the David narrative in the books of Samuel. These stories are made prominent by the surprisingly high number of their occurrences as well as the sequentially progressive literary pattern in which they occur in the larger narrative. Westbrook shows that the dramatic and detailed accounts within the story repeatedly challenge the reader to consider the experiences of women and their contribution to the purpose of the larger narrative. When viewed collectively, these woman stories serve to stir the reader’s responses in ways which systematically call into question the nature of the monarchy itself as a power system—both its impact upon the nation and upon the kings who rule. Although King David is often held up as a paragon of virtue, the experiences of the women in his life frequently reveal a different side of his character, and the reader must wrestle with the resultant ambiguity. In the process, the reader must also think deeply about the inevitably negative aspects of hierarchical social structures and why this biblical text is apparently designed to press the reader toward unavoidable and uncomfortable personal confrontation with these realities concerning the use of power within community life.

Ecclesiastes and Scepticism Stuart Weeks Scholars often view the apparent scepticism of Ecclesiastes in terms of a reaction against the more confident assertions found in works like Proverbs, and the book does indeed seem to deny the possibility of humans shaping their future or changing their fate through informed action. What appears to concern the work's protagonist, whose monologue occupies most of its length, is not any scepticism about God's activity or consistency, but rather the problems that arise from a human inability to discern divine action or purpose. This study seeks to understand both the roots and the implications of this empiricism, comparing the monologue with other biblical and ancient literature, and suggesting that, although it has points of contact with other texts, its scepticism is largely distinctive, and unlikely to represent some broader tradition. Stuart Weeks is Senior Lecturer in Old Testament and Hebrew, Durham University, UK. He is the author of Early Israelite Wisdom (1994) and Instructions & Imagery in Proverbs 1-9 (2007).

Approaches to the 'Chosen Place' Accessing a Biblical Concept Rannfrid I. Thelle Deuteronomy's command to restrict cultic practice to one chosen place has occupied a central position in scholars' understandings of the book and their reconstruction of Israelite political and religious history. The debates about the date of Deuteronomy, its proposed connections to Josiah's reform, and, most profoundly, the Deuteronomistic History (DH) hypothesis; have dominated study of the idea of chosen place. These debates have, to a large extent, determined how we read Deuteronomy and the Former Prophets in general. Through a reading of key texts from these corpora, this book provides a new, textually grounded, perspective of the chosen place.

The God Ezekiel Creates

Outside of Eden

Edited by Paul M. Joyce & Dalit Rom-Shiloni

Cain in the Ancient Versions of Genesis 4.1-16

This powerful collection of essays focuses on the representation of God in the Book of Ezekiel. With topics spanning across projections of God, through to the implications of these creations, the question of the divine presence in Ezekiel is explored.

M. W. Scarlata

Madhavi Nevader analyses Divine Sovereignty and its relation to creation, while Dexter E. Callender Jnr and Ellen van Wolde route their studies in the image of God, as generated by the character of Ezekiel. The assumption of the title is then inverted, as Stephen L. Cook writes on ‘The God that the Temple Blueprint Creates’, which is taken to its other extreme by Marvin A. Sweeney in his chapter on ‘The Ezekiel that God Creates’, and finds a nice reconciliation in Daniel I. Block’s chapter, ‘The God Ezekiel Wants Us to Meet.’ Finally, two essays from Christian biblical scholar Nathan MacDonald and Jewish biblical scholar, Rimon Kasher, offer a reflection on the essays about Ezekiel and his God. Paul M. Joyce is Samuel Davidson Professor of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, King's College London, UK. Dalit Rom-Shiloni is Senior Lecturer in Hebrew Bible, Tel Aviv University, Israel.

This study is an examination of the principal ancient translations of Gen. 4.1-16 in the Hebrew Bible. The goal is to understand the translation techniques adopted by the translators, to what extent external influences may have affected their work, and how each version communicates its message through its literary form. In addition to the versional renderings of the Hebrew text, this inquiry also takes into account various ancient Jewish and Christian interpretations of the Cain narrative. The primary focus of the work is on the diverse exegetical tendencies of Hebrew Bible translation in the ancient world and on how these interpretations were transmitted in particular cultural milieus.

The Senses of Scripture Sensory Perception in the Hebrew Bible

Going Up and Going Down A Key to Interpreting Jacob's Dream (Gen 28.10-22) Yitzhak Peleg In Going Up and Going Down Yitzhak Peleg argues that the story of Jacob’s dream (Genesis 28.10-22), functions as a mise en abyme (‘as a figure, trope or structure that somehow reflects in compact form, in miniature, the larger structure in which it appears’, Greenstein). Close examination reveals that focusing on the vision of Jacob’s dream and understanding it as a symbolic dream facilitates an explanation of the dream and its meaning. Scholars have historically classified the dream as theophany, the purpose of which is to explain how Beth-El became a sacred place, and as such the vision in Jacob’s dream is generally accepted as merely ornamental, or even lacking a message in itself. Whilst Peleg does not contradict or seek to go against identification of the dream as theophany, he sees a more nuanced purpose behind its presentation. Peleg’s proposal is that the description of the vision, and especially that of the movement of the angels, is not embellishment, supplementation or scenic background, of God’s message, but that it directly symbolizes the path taken by the Patriarchs to and from the Promised Land. Furthermore, the narrative context and visual description in the dream in which ‘Angels of God were going up and down it’ appears when Jacob is on his way to Harran, that is to say, when he is about to leave Israel.

Yael Avrahami The Senses of Scripture reveals the essence of biblical epistemology - the ways in which ancient Israelites thought about and used their sensorium. The theoretical introduction demonstrates that scholars need to liberate themselves from the Western bias that holds a pentasensory paradigm and prioritises the sense of sight. The discussion of the biblical material demonstrates that biblical scholars should follow a similar path.

T he L ibrary of H ewbrew / O ld T estament S tudies

Through examination of associative and contextual patters the author reaches a septasensory model, including sight, hearing, speech, kinaesthesia, touch, taste, and smell. It is further demonstrated that the senses, according to the HB, are a divinely created physical experience, which symbolised human ability to act in a sovereign manner in the world. Despite the lack of a biblical Hebrew term 'sense', it seems that at times the merism sight and hearing serves that matter. Finally, the book discusses the longstanding dispute regarding the primacy of sight vs. hearing, and claims that although there is no strict sensory hierarchy evident in the text, sight holds a central space in biblical epistemology.

Second Temple Studies IV Historiography and History

The Characterization of the Assyrians in Isaiah

Edited by Alice Hunt

Synchronic and Diachronic Perspectives

The book represents the collection of the papers presented at the 2004 SBL sessions for the section, Social-Scientific Studies of the Second Temple period, the purpose of which was to create understanding about current historiography as it relates to biblical studies and ancient Israel amidst diverging academic trends. Papers and responses sought to avoid polemics while concurrently bringing to clarification methodological practices of prominent historians in an effort to move beyond hortatory polemics. Those writing papers were asked to specify their own methodology and the assumptions and philosophy underlying their methodology in an effort to create understanding for the audience. Respondents to the papers met two requests - to summarize the methodology of the paper and to respond to the methodology, philosophy, and presuppositions of the historian.

Mary Katherine Y.H. Hom This is a literary analysis of every text in Isaiah in which the Assyrians explicitly or implicitly feature. In addition, a few texts regarded by dominant voices in scholarship as referring to the Assyrians are discussed. The general approach of this work is to assume a literary synchronic reading in order to appreciate the narrative artistry and meaning conveyed by the final form of the text and to establish a standard from which diachronic inquiry may proceed. Each chapter is a study in its own right, usually concentrating on a passage or chapter of Isaiah. In addition to analysing the role of the Assyrians from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, these chapters also explore the sophisticated ways by which literary devices function in relation to the depiction of the Assyrians. Dr. Mary Katherine Y. H. Hom received her PhD from the University of Cambridge, UK, and was formerly an Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies at Ambrose University College. She currently resides in northern California. She has lectured and taught in numerous countries and contributed to various scholarly journals.

Theological Interpretation and Isaiah 53 A Critical Comparison of Bernhard Duhm, Brevard Childs, and Alec Motyer Charles E. Shepherd This study brings together the hermeneutical approaches of three Old Testament scholars, specifically as they pertain to the interpretation of Isaiah 52.13-53.12 in the framework of Christian theology. Contemporary discourse and hermeneutical discussions have led to the development of a point of confusion in theological hermeneutics, focusing on what relationship older frames of reference may have with those more recent. Bernhard Duhm is presented as a history-of-Religion scholar who does not easily abide by popular understandings of that school. Brevard Childs moves outward from particular historical judgments regarding the nature of redaction and form criticism, attempting to arrive at a proximately theological reading of the poem. Alec Motyer’s evangelical commitments represent a large constituency of contemporary theological readership, and a popular understanding of Isaiah 53. Following a summary and critical engagement of each interpreter on his own terms, the study analyzes the use of rhetoric behind the respective readings of Isaiah 53, and proposes theological reading as a highly eclectic undertaking, distanced from the demarcations of ‘pre-critical’, ‘critical’, and ‘post-critical’. Charles E. Shepherd, Ph.D., Durham University, is Adjunct Lecturer in Biblical Studies at Cranmer Hall, St. John's College, Durham University, UK.

Royal Motifs in the Pentateuchal Portrayal of Moses Danny Mathews Moses is portrayed through the use of royal motifs, such as his abandonment at birth, flight from Pharaoh, portrayal as a shepherd, as a semi-divine figure, temple builder, military general, and lawgiver. These well-known motifs that have been typically used to depict four famous rulers in the ancient Near East, Hammurabi, Esarhaddon, Nabonidus, and Cyrus, have been adapted by the authors of the Pentateuch to affirm Moses as a more ancient leader, whose work has resulted in the constitution of the community of Israel. As a result, Israel's identity and enduring existence rest upon the authority and legacy of Moses.

'I Lifted My Eyes and Saw' [Re]Reading Again: A Mosaic Reading of Numbers 25 Anthony Rees Guided by the metaphor of the art form known as a mosaic, this book advocates a pluralistic approach to biblical studies. Rees argues that the text itself can be described as a 'mosaic', with each new reading adding to the mosaic. Interpretation is therefore both observation and invention, or contribution.When [re] reading the text, one cannot but be aware of what has been seen before, even if it at first may seem unfamiliar. He thus rejects the idea of a definitive reading. Examining Numbers 25, Rees argues that the various methods employed to interpret this text (narrative, feminist, postcolonial as well as a more 'traditional' historical-critical reading) enable us to see different things as we read from different places. A further analysis of the book's interpretative history, including the rewritten histories of Josephus and Philo, allows us to discover that creativity has forever been a part of the reading process. Moving on to explore the contributions of more recent commentators, Rees concludes that an embrace of diversity, of collegiality, may well point to a new future in Biblical Studies.

Reading Dream and Vision Reports in the Hebrew Bible Edited by Elizabeth R. Hayes & Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer This volume addresses the function and impact of vision and dream accounts in the Hebrew Bible. The contributors explore the exegetical, rhetorical, and structural aspects of the vision and dream accounts in the Hebrew Bible, focusing on prophetic vision reports. Several contributors employ a diachronic approach as they explore the textual relationship between the vision reports and the oracular material. Others focus on the rhetorical aspects of the vision reports in their final form and discuss why vision reporting may be used to convey a message. Another approach employed looks at reception history and investigates how this type of text has been understood by past exegetes. A few chapters consider the inter-textual relationship of the various vision reports in the Hebrew Bible, focusing on shared themes and motifs. There are also papers that deal with the ways in which select texts in the Hebrew Bible portray dream/vision interpreters and their activities.

Urban Imagination in Biblical Prophecy Mary E. Mills "Mills envisions the book ‘as a robust entry point into a currently emerging subdiscipline,’ and it is indeed robustly engaged with fresh material." Religious Studies Review This volume brings together aspects of contemporary study of cultural geography and selected passages from prophetic texts of the Hebrew Bible/ Old Testament. The aim is to identify how the image of the city helps to construct meaning inside the biblical material. In order to carry out this task relevant textual narratives are analysed and then read from the viewpoint of space, place and urban studies. This latter category includes the works of Lefebvre, Bachelard, Soja, Massey, Amin and Thrift and Pile, among others. A major finding is that urban imagination is a tool by which the texts manage the experience of political and social events in a time of radical change.

She studied modern history before turning to Biblical Studies, completing a doctoral thesis at Heythrop College, University of London, UK.

The Substance of Psalm 24

Elohim within the Psalms Petitioning the Creator to Order Chaos in Oral-Derived Literature Terrance Randall Wardlaw, Jr. The issue of the so-called Elohistic Psalter has intrigued biblical scholars since the rise of the historical-critical enterprise. Scholars have attempted to discover why the name Elohim is used almost exclusively within Pss 42–83, and in particular they have attempted to identify the historical circumstances which explain this phenomenon. Traditionally, an original Yhwh was understood to have been replaced by Elohim. Frank-Lothar Hossfeld and the late Erich Zenger propose that the use of the title Elohim is theologically motivated, and they account for this phenomenon in their redaction-historical work. Wardlaw here builds upon their work (1) by integrating insights from Dell Hymes, William Miles Foley, and Susan Niditch with regard to oral-traditional cultures, and (2) by following the text-linguistic approach of Eep Talstra and Christof Hardmeier and listening to canonical texture as a faithful witness to Israel’s religious traditions. Wardlaw proposes that the name Elohim within the Psalms is a theologically-laden term, and that its usage is related to pentateuchal traditions. Terrance Randall Wardlaw, Jr., is a Linguist for SIL International, based in Thailand.

An Attempt to Read Scripture after Brevard S. Childs Philip Sumpter This book contributes to the theory and practice of Biblical interpretation by engaging in an interpretation of Psalm 24 inspired by a particular understanding of Brevard Childs’ "canonical approach": an understanding centred on the concept of "theological substance." Sumpter shows how the literary, historical, and theological dimensions of Psalm 24 cohere into a single vision by reading the text according to the previously discussed dialectic. An initial "synchronic" analysis of the psalm’s poetic structure related to a "diachronic" reconstruction of the tradition history that lead to the final form. The question is then posed concerning the primary forces at work in this history of composition, a question which leads to reflection on the Trinity, first in se and then pro nobis. This latter dimension takes us back to the text, as its "Davidic" nature is further analysed in relation to the books of Samuel, the Psalter, and Isaiah. Finally, Patristic exegesis is turned to for further stimulation concerning the mysterious subject matter of the text.

Psalmody and Poetry in Old Testament Ethics

An Intertextual Analysis of Zechariah 9-10 (599)

Edited by Dirk J. Human

The Earlier Restoration Expectations of Second Zechariah

Questions arise from scholarly debate in Hebrew Bible ethics such as: what is Old Testament ethics?, what is the object of study?, what are the methods involved and how normative are Old Testament ethics for modern contexts? These questions advance crucial issues in the quest for understanding ethics of the ancient Hebrew mind and the problem of how to contextualize them in modern contexts. This book begins by exploring the relationship between the Old Testament and Ethics, as well as a philosophical discussion on metaethical presuppositions on divinity and morality in the Psalter. The main part of the book reflects analyses of specific psalms (Pss 16; 34; 50; 72; 104; and 133). The core of this section reflects an illustration of psalm texts with the thematic focus on Hebrew ethical thinking. Included are a few contextual contributions discussing relevant ethical issues in Africa from an African perspective. In the final section two exemplary poetic texts from the Pentateuch (Deut 32) and the Prophets (Jer 5) reverberate ethical thinking from other parts of the Hebrew canon. Professor Dirk J. Human is Head of Biblical and Religious Studies at the University of Pretoria, South Africa.

Imagining the Other and Constructing Israelite Identity in the Early Second Temple Period Edited by Ehud Ben Zvi & Diana Vikander Edelman This volume sheds light on how particular constructions of the 'Other' contributed to an ongoing process of defining what 'Israel' or an 'Israelite' was, or was supposed to be in literature taken to be authoritative in the late Persian and Early Hellenistic periods. It asks, who is an insider and who an outsider? Are boundaries permeable? Are there different ideas expressed within individual books? What about constructions of the (partial) 'Other' from inside, e.g., women, people whose body did not fit social constructions of normalness? It includes chapters dealing with theoretical issues and case studies, and addresses similar issues from the perspective of groups in the late Second Temple period so as to shed light on processes of continuity and discontinuity on these matters. Preliminary forms of five of the contributions were presented in Thessaloniki in 2011 in the research programme, 'Production and Reception of Authoritative Books in the Persian and Hellenistic Period,' at the Annual Meeting of European Association of Biblical Studies (EABS). Ehud Ben Zvi is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Alberta, Canada. Diana V. Edelman is a senior lecturer in the Department of Biblical Studies at the University of Sheffield, UK.

Suk Yee Lee This book conducts an in-depth study on the ideas about future salvation in Zechariah 9-10. In accommodation of the allusive character of the text, Lee uses the methodology of intertextual analysis to examine the markers in the text. Having established the moments of intertextuality, Lee investigates the sources and their contexts, analyzing how the intertexts are used in the new context of the host and exploring how the antecedents shape the reading of the later text. Thus, Lee argues that Zechariah 9-10 leverages earlier biblical material in order to express its view on restoration, which serves as a lens for the prophetic community in Yehud to make sense of their troubled world in the early Persian period, ca. 440 B.C. These two chapters envision the return of Yahweh who inaugurates the new age, ushering in prosperity and blessings. The earlier restoration expectations of Second Zechariah anticipate the formation of an ideal remnant settling in an ideal homeland, with Yahweh as king and David as vice-regent, reigning in Zion. The new commonwealth is not only a united society but also a cosmic one, with Judah, Ephraim, and the nations living together in peace.

Lexical Dependence and Intertextual Allusion in the Septuagint of the Twelve Prophets Studies in Hosea, Amos and Micah Myrto Theocharous This book explores various aspects of intertextuality in the LXX Twelve Prophets, with a special emphasis on Hosea, Amos and Micah. The first chapter introduces the topic of intertextuality, discusses issues relating to the Twelve Prophets and their translator and concludes with various methodological considerations. Chapter two deals with the lexical sourcing of the prophets in their Hellenistic milieu and tests proposed theories of influence from the Pentateuch. The third chapter deals with standard expressions used by the translator, even in places where the Hebrew does not correspond. The fourth chapter investigates the use of catchwords that the Greek translator identified in his Hebrew Vorlage and that function for him as links between two or more texts. Finally, the fifth chapter examines cases where the translator understands the text to be alluding to specific biblical stories and events. Dr. Myrto Theocharous is a professor of Hebrew and Old Testament at the Greek Bible College, Athens, Greece.

Responding to a Puzzled Scribe The Barberini Version of Habakkuk 3 Analysed in the Light of the Other Greek Versions Joshua L. Harper In part one of this book Joshua L. Harper is able to demonstrate the following aspects of the Barberini version: when compared with the other Greek versions, it appears that the Barberini version was originally independent of the Septuagint but has been influenced by it in transmission. The Barberini version was probably translated no earlier than the later books of the Septuagint (that is, around the first century BC), and no later than the mid-third century AD. The style, methods of translation, and exegetical affinities suggest that the translator was primarily concerned with producing stylistic, understandable Greek rather than with conforming closely to the Hebrew source text. The translator was probably Jewish, particularly since some readings resonate with Jewish exegetical traditions. The relatively polished Greek suggests that the translator had received some formal Greek education, perhaps in a Hellenistic Jewish community. In the second part of this work Harper provides text, translation, and notes for the major Greek versions. The Barberini version has been analysed in particular detail, with regard to lexical and syntactical translation technique, as well as matters of style. Joshua L.

Reconsidering the Date and Provenance of the Book of Hosea The Case for Persian-Period Yehud James M. Bos This study argues that the book of Hosea ought to be understood and read as a text that was composed in Persian-period Yehud rather than in eighth-century Israel. The author challenges the traditional scholarship and emphasizes that there is the evidence to suggest that the book should be viewed as a Judahite text - a book that was composed in the late sixth or early fifth century B.C.E. Bos provides an overview of the state of prophetic research, as well as a discussion of genre and the generation of prophetic books, linguistic dating and provenance; and a survey of Hosea research. Bos discusses various aspects of the book of Hosea that aim to prove his argument the book was composed in Persian-period Yehud - the anti-monarchical ideology of the book, the dual theme of ‘Exile' and ‘Return' which is consistent with the discourse found in other Judahite books dating to the sixth century; and the historiographical traditions. James M. Bos earned his Ph.D. from the Department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Michigan, USA, in 2011. He is currently a Visiting Instructor of Religion at the University of Mississippi, USA.

Poets, Prophets, and Texts in Play

The Book of Joel A Prophet between Calamity and Hope

Studies in Biblical Poetry and Prophecy in Honour of Francis Landy

Elie Assis "Assis' analysis of Joel is positive and erudite... an excellent companion to commentary literature" Reviews in Religion and Theology The Book of Joel places great emphasis on the motif of the divine presence residing in the midst of Israel, and it is asserted that the prophet's main purpose was to bring the people to renew their connection with the Lord after the destruction of the Temple, which, though physically ruined, had not lost its religious significance. A literary and rhetorical analysis demonstrates how the prophet sought to influence his audience. Literary devices and rhetorical tools are investigated, and their relevance and contribution to the book's meanings are explored. One central feature of the book is its focus on a detailed discussion of the position and purpose of the locust plague, employing recent literary approaches. Elie Assis is the head of the Department of Bible Studies at Bar Ilan University. Among his scholarly work are his books From Moses to Joshua and from the Miraculous to the Ordinary: A Literary Analysis of the Conquest Narrative in the Book of Joshua, Jerusalem: 2005 (Hebrew), and Self-Interest or Communal Interest? An Ideology of Leadership in the Gideon, Abimelech and Jephthah Narratives (Judg. 6-12) (Supplements to Vetus Testamentum, 106), 2005.

Parables of Enoch: A Paradigm Shift

Why Did Paul Go West?

Edited by Darrell Bock & James H. Charlesworth

Doron Mendels

Parables of Enoch: A Paradigm Shift is an interdisciplinary study of the state of the current debate surrounding the Parables of Enoch with regard to their dating as well as their Jewish character and their potential contribution to aspects of early Christian thought. The role of 1 Enoch in the context of Christian Origins is much discussed amongst Second Temple and New Testament scholars, with the former often attaching more importance to them than the latter. The contributors to the present volume stem from both areas, and together explore the relative signifance of the Parables of Enoch. The important issues discussed include; the significance of the parables for a deeper understanding of Second Temple thought, Jesus' message, the development of the kerygma, and the traditions embodied and edited in canonical texts, especially the Gospels. The extremely impressive list of contributors includes; Geza Vermes, Richard Bauckham, James Dunn, Larry Schiffman, James VanderKam, Francis Moloney and Loren Stuckenbruck. Darrell L. Bock is Research Professor of New Testament Studies and Professor of Spiritual Development and Culture at Dallas Theological Seminary, USA. James H. Charlesworth is George L. Collord Professor of New Testament Language and Literature at Princeton Theological Seminary, USA, and director of the seminary's Dead Sea Scrolls Project.

Jewish Historical Narrative and Thought "Mendels is one of our finest historians of Judaism in the Hellenistic age... a vitally important book." Daniel C. Harlow, Calvin College, USA In his new book Doron Mendels addresses the topic of the authority of texts and their transmission, as well as different strategies of narration in ancient texts. Mendels provides extensive treatment of issues such as linearity, emporality and simultaneity of texts, whilst working to examine four core themes. First, the narrator and his strategies in the historiography of the Hellenistic period. Secondly, Jewish Historical thought in the Hellenistic period and beyond. Thirdly, issues of Hellenization in Palestine - power, honour, gifting, etiquette and sovereignty and their presentation in the main narrative of the Hasmonean period. Finally, Mendels gives attention to the ‘split' in the Jewish diaspora between east and west, as exemplified from a Christian point of view. It is this that unites these themes into a sustained examination of Jewish historical narrative and thought. Doron Mendels is Max and Sophie Mydans Professor in the Humanities at the Department of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.

Raised from the Dead According to Scripture The Role of the Old Testament in the Early Christian Interpretations of Jesus' Resurrection Lidija Novakovic The New Testament writings allow only limited access to the interpretative traditions that lie beneath the claim that Jesus' resurrection took place according to Scripture. This book investigates the underlying principles of scriptural arguments in relation to Jesus' resurrection and the unstated interpretative moves that govern the selection and combination of texts relating to it. Novakovic's working hypothesis is that the Davidic tradition supplied the primary scriptural categories for the claim that Jesus was raised from the dead according to Scripture. This tradition was appropriated through two major thematic trajectories: resurrection as the fulfillment of Davidic promises, and resurrection as the messianic enthronement. We can also identify several related thematic trajectories, such as the concept of the resurrection as the beginning of the new creation, resurrection as the prophetic authentication, and resurrection as the messianic rebuilding of the temple. Each thematic block is based on a specific use of Scripture for the purpose of explaining the significance of Jesus' resurrection.

Land or Earth?

The Testament of Job

A Terminological Study of Hebrew 'eres' and Aramaic 'ara' in the Graeco-Roman Period

Text, Narrative and Reception History

Shizuka Uemura This volume discusses the Hebrew term 'eres' which is prominently used in Creation and Land theologies in the Bible. Uemura examines whether the term signifies the 'earth' or the 'Land' and traces the historical development of its uses in relation to these two meanings. He offers a survey of all of the occurrences of this term, categorizes them, and discusses the problematic instances in all of the surviving Hebrew and Aramaic texts. Uemura's examination begins with an analysis of the terms under discussion literally and stylistically in order to discern the semantic field of each term, as well as to determine its stylistic idiomatic uses. He discusses the uses of these two terms in ancient non-Jewish circumstances using materials taken from Phoenician, New Punic, Moabite and Aramaic inscriptions, as well as from an Aramaic papyri from Egypt and Nabataean papyri from Nahal Hever. The aim of this study is to show a cultural background of uses of these terms and Uemura sheds light on the biblical worldview in the Graeco-Roman period.

Maria Haralambakis Maria Haralambakis provides a wide-ranging study of one of the books of the pseudepigrapha, the Testament of Job. Haralambakis begins with textual issues, considering the recent publication of a 4th century Coptic codex of the text, as well as the more well-know Byzantine Greek manuscripts. However, she also considers a much larger number of Slavonic manuscripts than many scholars. Rather than working backwards from the most recent manuscripts to a hypothetical original text, Haralambakis presents the manuscripts from earliest to latest as a succession of witnesses to the text of the Testament of Job, each valuable as evidence of its contemporary world. Haralambakis moves on to examine the structure of the Testament as a remarkable literary work, employing narrative theory to demonstrate how the composition works as a well-crafted appealing story. Gleaning insights from the text's widespread presence in Byzantine and Slavonic Christian churches Haralambakis examines its reception history, asserting that in these contexts the story came to be viewed as something akin to a life of saint.

Shizuka Uemura is a lecturer at the University of Tokyo, Japan. He is the author of Perversion of Religions (2008, in Japanese).

Maria Haralambakis took her PhD from the University of Manchester, UK.

Interpreting 4 Ezra and 2 Baruch International Studies Edited by Gabriele Boccaccini & Jason M. Zurawski In this volume Gabriele Boccaccini and Jason M. Zurawski collect together essays from leading international scholars on the books of 4 Ezra and 2 Baruch. The literature of the Second Temple Period has become increasingly studied in recent years as scholars have begun to recognize the importance of these texts for a developed understanding of Rabbinic and Christian origins. Through close readings of the texts themselves, examining the books in comparison with other Jewish apocalyptic literature and early Christian materials, and reading the texts in light of their social and historical settings, the fifteen papers collected herein significantly advance the current scholarly conversation on these defining Jewish apocalypses written at the end of the first century CE, and they shed light on the everlasting legacy of apocalyptic ideas in both Christianity and Judaism.

Josephus' Interpretation of the Book of Samuel

The Body in Biblical, Christian and Jewish Texts

Michael Avioz

Edited by Joan E. Taylor

Since the seventies, no study has examined the methodologies of Josephus' rewriting of an entire biblical book as part of his Judean Antiquities. This book attempts to fill this vacuum by exploring Josephus' adaptation of the book of Samuel, penetrating the exegetical strategies he employs to modify the biblical stories for his intended audience. Through meticulous comparison of the biblical narrative and Josephus' Antiquities, broader issues – such as Josephus' attitude towards monarchy and women – gradually come to light, challenging long-held assumptions. This definitive exploration of Josephus' rewriting of Samuel illuminates the encounter between two ancient texts and its relevance to scholarly discourse today.

The body is an entity on which religious ideology is printed. Thus it is frequently a subject of interest, anxiety, prescription and regulation in both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, as well as in early Christian and Jewish writings. Issues such as the body's age, purity, sickness, ability, gender, sexual actions, marking, clothing, modesty or placement can revolve around what the body is and is not supposed to be or do. The Body in Biblical, Christian and Jewish Texts comprises a range of inter-disciplinary and creative explorations of the body as it is described and defined in religious literature, with chapters largely written by new scholars with fresh perspectives. This is a subject with wide and important repercussions in diverse cultural contexts today. Joan E. Taylor is the prize-winning author of Christians and the Holy Places, and a leading authority on the Jewish world of Jesus, including women within that world.

The Temple in Text and Tradition A Festschrift in Honour of Robert Hayward Edited by R. Timothy McLay The Second Temple period is an era that marked a virtual explosion in the world of literature, with the creation, redaction, interpretation, and transmission of Jewish texts that represented diverse languages and ideologies. The creation of many of these writings coincided with the growth of the Jewish community beyond the borders of Israel; therefore, among those for whom the Temple played a diminishing role. The transition period from Temple to texts was accompanied by conflicting interpretations about the role of the Temple as well as diverse theological understandings about God and the Jewish people. Drawing on the expertise of leading specialists in Second Temple Judaism, Temple, Texts, and Traditions explores the rich traditions of the Jewish people as they were expressed and interpreted in their writings in that period, which included writings that later became recognized as Scriptures. R. Timothy McLay is an independent scholar currently residing in Toronto, Canada. He has served as Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Languages, and Ministry Studies at St. Stephen's University, New Brunswick, Canada. He earned his B.A. at Atlantic Baptist University, Canada, M.Div. at Acadia Divinity College, Canada, and Ph.D. at Durham, UK.

Harnessing Chaos

Jesse's Lineage

The Bible in English Political Discourse since 1968

The Legendary Lives of David, Jesus, and Jesse James

James G. Crossley

Robert Seesengood & Jennifer L. Koosed

Harnessing Chaos is an explanation of changes in dominant politicalized assumptions about what the Bible ‘really means’ in English culture since the 1960s. James G. Crossley looks at how the social upheavals of the 1960s, and the economic shift from the post-war dominance of Keynesianism to the post-1970s dominance of neoliberalism, brought about certain emphases and nuances in the ways in which the Bible is popularly understood, particularly in relation to dominant political ideas. This book examines the decline of politically radical biblical interpretation in parliamentary politics and the victory of (a modified form of) Margaret Thatcher’s rereading of the liberal Bible tradition, following the normalisation of (a modified form of) Thatcherism more generally. James G. Crossley is Professor of Bible, Culture and Politics in Department of Biblical Studies, University of Sheffield, UK. His most recent publications include Jesus in an Age of Neoliberalism: Quests, Scholarship and Ideology (2012).

Jesse's Lineage explores the interconnections between David, Jesus, and Jesse James. All three of these figures evoked complicated and conflicted reactions from their contemporaries - considered criminals by some, saviors by others. After their deaths, David, Jesus, and Jesse James live on thorough equally complicated and conflicted textual, ritual, and cultural memories. Their stories intertwine through reference and allusion as Jesus' mission is understood in terms of David's promise, and Jesse's death is understood in terms of Jesus' betrayal. The biography of each figure is further complicated by the processes of folk memory and oral transmission.

The Unity of Male and Female in Jesus Christ An Exegetical Study of Gal 3: 28C in Light of Paul's Theology of Promise Gesila Nneka Uzukwu This book undertakes an exegetical study of Gal 3:28c in light of 3:14-29 and 4:21-31 and shows that 3:28c is not only an integral part of chapters 3 and 4, but is also the key to understanding Paul’s theological argument of promise in Galatians. Uzukwu examines important aspects of the history of the interpretation of Gal 3:28c; of the link between Gal 3:28 and the three expressions of gratitude found in Greek writings. Links are also revealed to the three blessings of gratitude that appear at the beginning of the Jewish cycle of morning prayers, Gen 1:27c LXX, and the alleged pre-Pauline baptismal formula. She goes further to demonstrate how 3:28c is related to the unity of Galatians 3-4, focusing on the theme of the promise as the text discusses the effect of the Christ event in bringing about the fulfillment of the promise. Rev. Sr. Gesila Nneka Uzukwu, (PhD, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium) is a member of the Daughters of Mary Mother of Mercy and a free researcher at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.

No Longer Living as the Gentiles Differentiation And Shared Ethical Values In Ephesians 4:17-6:9 Daniel K. Darko On the one hand, Ephesians 4.17-5.21 has been interpreted as drawing a social or ethical contrast between the addressees and the outside world, and even as encouraging or legitimating social withdrawal or separation from outsiders. On the other hand, the household code in Ephesians 5.21-6.9 has been read as encouraging integration into the wider society. These social goals seem to be at odds, but rarely is this reflected on or addressed in scholarship. Upon a close and detailed study that utilizes traditional exegetical methods, comparative analysis and social identity theory, Daniel K. Darko argues that Ephesians 4.17-6.9 exhibits a consistent strategy of promoting group distinctiveness while utilizing Greco-Roman ethical values and traditions to promote internal cohesion among the readers. Readers are encouraged neither to separate from society nor to integrate further into it, but to live and function within society as members of the ‘household of God' in one accord. Daniel K.

Characters and Characterization in the Gospel of John

Thomas - Love as Strong as Death

Edited by Christopher W. Skinner

Dennis Sylva

This volume examines characters in the Fourth Gospel and provides an in-depth look at different approaches currently employed by scholars working with literary and reader-oriented methods. Divided into two sections, the book first considers method and theory, followed by exegetical character studies using a literary or reader-oriented method. It summarizes the state of the discussion, examines obstacles to arriving at a comprehensive theory of character in the Fourth Gospel, compares different approaches, and compiles the diverse methodologies into one comparative study. Through this detailed exegesis, the various theories will come alive, and the merits (or deficiencies) of each approach will be available to the reader. This volume is both a comprehensive study in narrative/ reader-oriented theories, and a study in the application of those theories as they apply to characterization. Summing up current research on characters and characterization in the Fourth Gospel, this book also provides a comprehensive presentation of different approaches to character that have developed in recent years.

Kenotic Politics The Reconfiguration of Power in Jesus' Political Praxis Mark E. Moore

Thomas appears only four times in John's Gospel, yet despite this he is crucially important in understanding the function of the Johannine message. Dennis Sylva provides the first major study which examines the paradox that Thomas is both opposed to a dominant theme in the Fourth Gospel - the eternal life that is a gift to Jesus' followers - and yet is in support of Jesus himself. Thomas appears to have a foot on both sides of the Johannine dualistic divide. He seems to be existentially at home on one side and yet ideologically at home on the other. No other character in John's Gospel so tenaciously holds on to companionship with Jesus while just as resolutely distancing himself from Jesus' central teaching. Thomas breaks down the barriers between the disciples (those who walk in the light) and the world (those who walk in the darkness) that John takes pains to establish. Sylva's new work demonstrates the importance of Thomas in fully understanding the message of the Fourth Gospel. Dennis Sylva teaches the New Testament at Nashotah House Theological Seminary, Wisconsin, USA.

Becoming Christian Essays on 1 Peter and the Making of Christian Identity David G. Horrell

How can one reconcile the political nature of Jesus with his disinclination to power? Moore's argument comes in three stages. Part one answers the question 'Was Jesus Political?' by examining Jesus' words and actions that have political import. Part two addresses the issue 'How was Jesus Political?' It concentrates on Mark 10:32-45 as a real articulation of Jesus' political praxis that is consistent throughout Jesus' ministry and teaching. Part three, 'Why did Jesus not openly announce his political role?' examines Jesus' treatment of the Jewish kings of the past, particularly why Jesus, 'meek and mild,' could claim to surpass them in honor.

Becoming Christian examines various facets of the first letter of Peter, in its social and historical setting, in some cases using new social-scientific and postcolonial methods to shed light on the ways in which the letter contributes to the making of Christian identity. The heart of the book, chapters 5-7, examines the contribution of 1 Peter to the construction of Christian identity, the persecution and suffering of Christians in Asia Minor, the significance of the name ‘Christian', and the response of the letter to the hostility encountered by Christians in society.

Moore argues that Jesus' disinclination to associate himself with other rulers is not a rejection of a political role. Rather, he lived so consistently with his political praxis of self-abnegation that these other rulers were not appropriate models for Jesus to follow. Furthermore, the very claim to such titles was antithetical to his political praxis which relinquished all aggrandizement to God, who alone could exalt, abase, judge, and rule.

There are no recent books which bring together such a wealth of information and analysis of this crucial early Christian text. Becoming Christian has developed out of Horrell's ongoing research for the International Critical Commentary on 1 Peter. Together these chapters offer a series of significant and original engagements with this letter, and a resource for studies of 1 Peter for some time to come.

Mark E. Moore, Ph.D. has been a professor of New Testament at Ozark Christian College, USA since 1990. His college textbooks include: The Chronological Life of Christ (1997), Fanning the Flame: Probing the Issues in Acts (2003), Seeing God in HD: God's Word in Today's World (2008) and Commentary on Acts (2011, forthcoming).

Jesus and the Thoughts of Many Hearts

The Old Testament in the Book of Revelation

Implicit Christology and Jesus’ Knowledge in the Gospel of Luke

This book explores the relationship between the new context that John provides for his allusions and their context in the Old Testament. For example, did John choose texts to meet the needs of the recipients or did his meditation on the scriptures give him a unique insight into their situation? Ramsay held that local knowledge led to John's choice of texts whereas Beale believed that Revelation is a midrash on Daniel. Both are one-sided, as a study of John's use of Ezekiel shows. John based a number of his incidents on Ezekiel, in much the same order. Nevertheless, there are also major discontinuities, such as his denial of the very thing -the temple- that Ezekiel 40-48 is all about. To do justice to John's use of the Old Testament requires an interactive model, which involves the use of scripture at Qumran and the concept of intertextuality. Moyise shows John to be a master of combining and juxtaposing images.

Collin Bullard In the Gospel of Luke, the aged Simeon foresees the future opposition which Jesus will face (2.3435) and concludes his ominous oracle with a vivid description of the final outcome of Jesus’ ministry: '…so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed' (2.35). Bullard presents an investigation of the narrative and Christological significance of this 'revelation of thoughts' in the ministry of Jesus, especially as this revelation is demonstrated and fulfilled in Jesus’ ability to know the thoughts in the hearts of those whom he encounters throughout the Gospel. Determining the extent to which Luke’s understanding of Jesus’ knowledge is shaped by the Old Testament is of significance for our grasp of Lukan Christology. What Jesus knows and how he knows it are fundamental features of his identity, governing how he relates to others in the narrative. The issue of whether, or how, Luke may have adopted Old Testament themes within this motif has been given only superficial attention. Bullard offers an account of the Christological significance of Jesus’ knowledge of thoughts that is informed by appropriate attention to literary parallels and is carried out in light of the narrative employment of the motif.

Revelation's Hymns Commentary on the Cosmic Conflict Steven Grabiner Revelation’s Hymns examines the hymnic pericopes in Revelation in light of the cosmic conflict theme. It considers this theme as integral to the development of Revelation’s plot. Recognizing that critical studies give interpretative primacy to the political realities that existed at the time of Revelation’s composition, Grabiner responds to the need for an examination of the storyline from the perspective of issues that are of narrative importance. Grabiner argues that the cosmic conflict is at the centre of the book’s concerns, and attempts to determine the function of the hymns with respect to this. Previous examinations of the hymns have considered them as a response and/or parody to Roman liturgy, examples of God’s unquestioned sovereignty, or expressions of thematic overtones found throughout the book. While these approaches make a contribution to a greater understanding of the hymns, the relation to the ever-present conflict theme has not been explored. This study allows the hymnic sections to engage with the larger narrative issue as to who is truly the rightful sovereign of the universe. Steven Grabiner graduated from the University of South Africa and is President of an international mission organization spanning 35 countries.

Reception History, Tradition and Biblical Interpretation

T he L ibrary of N ew T estament S tudies

Gadamer and Jauss in Current Practice Robert Evans This study seeks to make a contribution to current debates about the nature of Wirkungsgeschichte or reception history and its place in contemporary Biblical Studies. The author addresses three crucial questions: the relationship between reception history and historicalcritical exegesis; the form of reception history itself, with a focus on the issue of which acts of reception are selected and valorized; and the role of tradition, pre-judgements and theology in relation to reception history. Disagreements about these matters contribute to what many characterise as the fragmentation of the discipline of biblical studies. The study champions the hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer as a theoretical resource for understanding biblical interpretation, and a way of holding together with integrity the varied activities undertaken within the discipline. Each aspect of the argument is illustrated, tested and further explored with reference to the posthistory of exhortations in the New Testament to ‘be subject’. These have been widely cited and applied for 2,000 years – in literature, law and politics as well as in theological traditions. In this way the study makes a contribution not just to the theory but also the practice of reception history.

Paul and the Creation of a Counter-Cultural Community

The Open Mind

A Rhetorical Analysis of 1 Cor. 5-11.1 in Light of the Social Lives of the Corinthians

Jonathan Knight

Daniel Ho This study offers a new interpretation of 1 Corinthians 5—11:1. Taking a social identity approach, Ho investigates the inner logic of Paul from the ears of the Corinthian correspondence. Ho argues that Paul consistently indoctrinates new values for the audience to uphold which are against the mainstream of social values in the surrounding society. It is shown that Paul does not engage in issues of internal schism per se, but rather in the question of the distinctive values insiders should uphold so as to be recognisable to outsiders. While church is neither a sectarian nor an accommodating community, it should maintain constant social contact with outsiders so as to bring the gospel of Christ to them. In addition, insiders should practice radical values that could challenge the existing shared social values prevalent in the urban city of Corinth. These new values are based mainly on Scripture, ancient Jewish literature and the new social identity of the church defined by Jesus Christ. This fresh interpretation renders the logical flow, unitary design and coherence of 1 Cor 5 -11.1 more apparent.

Swimming in the Sea of Scripture Paul’s Use of the Old Testament in 2 Corinthians 4:7–13:13 Paul Han In examining the appropriation of Scripture in 2 Corinthians 4–13, Han argues that the apostle is not only aware of the original contexts of the passages he refers to, but also goes beyond the immediate contexts and brings in the larger context of the Old Testament.

A Cosmopolitan Ideal Paul's Declaration 'neither Jew nor Greek, neither Slave nor Free, nor Male and Female' in the Context of First Century Thought Karin B. Neutel What did Paul mean when he declared that there is ‘neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor free, nor male and female’ (Galatians 3:28)? While many modern readers understand these words as a statement about human equality, this study shows that it in fact reflects ancient ideas about an ideal or utopian community. With this declaration, Paul contributed to the cultural conversation of his time about such a community. The three pairs that Paul brings together in this formula all played a role in first-century conceptions of what an ideal world would look like. Such conceptions were influenced by cosmopolitanism; the philosophical idea prevalent at the time, that all people were fundamentally connected and could all live in a unified society. Understanding Paul’s thought in the context of these contemporary ideals helps to clarify his attitude towards each of the three pairs in his letters. Like other ancient utopian thinkers, Paul imagined the ideal community to be based on mutual dependence and egalitarian relationships. Karin B.

Why Bíos? On the Relationship Between Gospel Genre and Implied Audience Justin Marc Smith Justin Marc Smith argues that the gospels were intended to be addressed to a wide and varied audience. He does this by considering them to be works of ancient biography, comparative to the Greco-Roman biography. The earliest Christian interpreters of the Gospels did not understand their works to be sectarian documents. Rather, the wider context of Jesus literature in the second and third centuries points toward the broader Christian practice of writing and disseminating literary presentations of Jesus and Jesus traditions as widely as possible. Smith addresses the difficulty in reconstructing the various gospel communities that might lie behind the gospel texts and suggests that the ‘all nations’ motif present in all four of the canonical gospels suggests an ideal secondary audience beyond those who could be identified as Christian.

Matthean Posteriority An Exploration of Matthew's Use of Mark and Luke as a Solution to the Synoptic Problem Robert K. MacEwen This book explores the Matthean Posteriority Hypothesis (MPH), a largely neglected solution to the Synoptic Problem which holds that the author of the Gospel of Luke used the Gospel of Mark as a source, and that the author of the Gospel of Matthew used both the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of Luke as sources. MacEwen begins with a survey of the scholars who have defended various forms of the MPH. Chapter 2 discusses two key lines of evidence which support the MPH. Chapter 3 explores evidence and arguments which can be seen as problematic for the MPH. MacEwen concludes that the MPH has been neither definitely proved nor disproved, and deserves further scholarly scrutiny.

Crucifixion and New Creation (LNTS 508) The Strategic Purpose of Galatians 6.11-17 Jeff Hubing This book provides an interpretation of Galatians 6:11-17 which yields significant insights about Paul’s perception of the crisis in Galatia, and the solution he presents to his readers in light of it. In the first section of the book, the epistolary form and function of Galatians 6:11-17 are analysed. Revealed as a body-closing, it works to sharpen and complete Paul’s message by spelling out his motivation for writing and establishing the basis for further communication with his readers. The theme of persecution in the letter is then seen rendered both explicitly and implicitly through the examination of pertinent passages. These indicate that all parties involved share some connection to persecution. Finally, an exegetical analysis of Galatians 6:11-17 reveals Paul’s claim that the agitators’ primary motive is to avoid persecution ‘because of the cross of Christ.’ He contrasts them with himself by ‘boasting’ in that same cross. The net effect is that Paul draws on both the redemptive moment of Jesus’ death, and the ongoing cross-shaped life he lives, to validate his apostleship.

Ancient Jewish and Christian Texts as Crisis Management Literature Thematic Studies from the Centre for Early Christian Studies Edited by David C. Sim & Pauline Allen This volume seeks to demonstrate, for the first time, that many Jewish and Christian texts in the ancient world were written as a direct response to an earlier situation of crisis that affected the author, or the intended reader. Presented here are texts from both traditions that were written over many centuries in order to establish that such crisis management literature was widespread in the religious and theological literature of ancient times. These chosen works reveal that all manner of crises could contribute to the production or the nature of these texts; including persecution, political factors, religious or theological differences, social circumstances; as well as internal or external threats. By understanding this crucial element in the composition of these texts we are better able to understand the complexity of social, political and religious forces that gave rise to many ancient theological texts, and to appreciate the strategies which the authors used to manage these crises.

He shows how the method can be used in clarifying elements of Greek grammar, interpretation, and translation. In particular Danove distinguishes the semantic implications of active, middle, and passive usages of verbs. He establishes a rigorous basis for distinguishing semantic synonyms and near-synonyms and for clarifying their implications for interpretation and translation. A heuristic feature model for relating distinct usages of verbs and deriving their various connotations is determined, and the conceptual and grammatical differences of verbs of oral and non-oral communication are clarified.

Hebrews and Divine Speech Jonathan I. Griffiths The theme of divine speech appears at the opening of the Hebrews (1.1-2) and recurs throughout the book, often in contexts suggesting connections to other areas of scholarly interest (christology, soteriology, cosmology, and the writer’s understanding of the nature of his discourse). This study begins with a consideration of the genre and structure of Hebrews (offering a new structural outline), concluding that Hebrews constitutes the earliest extant complete Christian sermon and consists of a series of Scriptural expositions. The investigation then turns to consider Hebrews’ theology of divine speech through an exegetical analysis of eight key passages. Throughout it examines the widely held (but largely untested) assumption that logos and rhema function as key terms in the author’s presentation of divine speech. Analysis of the exegetical data shows that Hebrews presents God’s word, which finds full expression in the incarnate Christ, as the central means by which salvation is made available and the place of divine rest is accessed. Jonathan I. Griffiths read theology at Oxford, UK and completed his New Testament PhD at Cambridge, UK. He is editor of The Perfect Saviour: Key Themes in Hebrews (2012) and is a Tutor on the PT Cornhill Training Course, UK.

Resisting Empire Rethinking the Purpose of the Letter to "the Hebrews" Jason A. Whitlark This book offers a fresh reading about the purpose for which Hebrews was written. In this book Whitlark argues that Hebrews engages both the negative pressures (persecution) and positive attractions (honor/prosperity) of its audience’s Roman imperial context. Whitlark examines Hebrews’s figured response to the imperial hopes boasted by Rome along with Rome’s claim to eternal rule, to the power of life and death, and to be led by the true, victorious ruler. Whitlark also makes a case for discerning Hebrews’s response to the challenges of Flavian triumph. Whitlark concludes his study by suggesting that Hebrews functions much like Revelation, that is, to resist the draw of the Christians' Roman imperial context. This is done, in part, by providing a covert opposition to Roman imperial discourse. He also offers evaluation of relapse theories for Hebrews, of Hebrews’s place among early Christian martyrdom, and of the nature of the resistance that Hebrews promotes. Jason A.

You Are My Son The Family of God in the Epistle to the Hebrews Amy L. B. Peeler The author of Hebrews calls God 'Father' only twice in his sermon. This fact could account for scholarship's lack of attention to the familial dynamics that run throughout the letter. Peeler argues, however, that by having God articulate his identity as Father through speaking Israel's Scriptures at the very beginning and near the end of his sermon, the author sets a familial framework around his entire exhortation. The author enriches the picture of God's family by continually portraying Jesus as God's Son, the audience as God's many sons, the blessings God bestows as inheritance, and the trials God allows as pedagogy. The recurrence of the theme coalesces into a powerful ontological reality for the audience: because God is the Father of Jesus Christ, they too are the sons of God. Amy L.B.

James, 1 & 2 Peter, and Early Jesus Traditions Edited by Alicia J. Batten & John S. Kloppenborg This book studies comparisons and possible trajectories between three ‘catholic’ epistles, and traditions associated with Jesus. Part A analyzes why James would recall the teachings of Jesus, how he alters these teachings, and what such adaptation suggests about his audience. Part B turns to the Jesus tradition and 1 and 2 Peter. What can 1 Peter’s use of Isaiah 53 tell us about the historical Jesus? How has 1 Peter conflated early Jesus traditions with those of ancient Judaism in order to develop certain ideas? How does 2 Peter allude to Gospel traditions? Moreover, how does the author of 2 Peter use early Jesus traditions as a sort of testimony? The book is an important contribution to scholarship on source criticism, ancient rhetoric, and the influence of Hellenistic, Judean and Roman traditions on early Christianity. Alicia J. Batten is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Sudbury, Canada. John S. Kloppenborg is Professor of Religion at the University of Toronto, Canada.

Jesus Wept: The Significance of Jesus’ Laments in the New Testament Rebekah Eklund Lament does not seem to be a pervasive feature of the New Testament, particularly when viewed in relation to the Old Testament. A careful investigation of the New Testament, however, reveals that it thoroughly incorporates the pattern of Old Testament lament into its proclamation of the gospel, especially in the person of Jesus Christ as he both prays and embodies lament. As an act that fundamentally calls upon God to be faithful to God’s promises to Israel and to the church, lament in the New Testament becomes a prayer of longing for God’s kingdom, which has been inaugurated in the ministry and resurrection of Jesus, fully to come.

Jesus and Time An Interpretation of Mark 1.15

Children in Early Christian Narratives Sharon Betsworth Sharon Betsworth examines the narratives, parables, and teachings of and about children in the gospels and the literature of Early Christianity. Betsworth begins with a discussion of the socialhistorical context of children and childhood in the first century before discussing the role of children in all four gospels. She shows that for Mark and Matthew, children are integral to understanding each evangelist's perspective on the reign of God and on Jesus' identity in each Gospel. In the Gospel of Luke the childhood of Jesus is shown to be crucial to the broader themes of the Gospel. In the Gospel of John, Betsworth examines the metaphorical use of the word 'children' looking at 'children of light' and of 'darkness'. She then explores stories of Jesus' childhood in the non-canonical Infancy Gospels of James and Thomas, as well as the childhood of his mother, Mary in the latter shedding light upon views of children, discipleship, and the person of Jesus in early christianity and in the ancient world more generally.

Ma'afu Palu This work offers an examination of Jesus' conception of time on the basis of Mark 1.15. Palu contends that the background which makes Mark 1.15 most intelligible is God's covenant with day and night which is established in the act of creation, specified in prophetic eschatology, and developed in Second Temple literature; it is God's commitment to give day and night in their appointed time, promising the restoration of Israel under David's offspring. On the basis of recent developments in scholarly literature concerning the Greek verbal aspect, this study argues that the perfect verbs in Mark 1.15 denote an ongoing dynamic of time fulfilment, closely tied to the ultimate restoration of Israel. This begins with the appearance of Jesus during the days of John the Baptist and is mapped onto two phases of the horizon of Jesus' view of time. Palu concludes that the biblical notion of time is to be tied intimately to the hope of the restoration of Israel, ultimately manifested as the establishment of the Kingdom of God. Ma'afu Palu is Senior Lecturer in Biblical Studies at the Sia'atoutai Theological College in Tonga teaching Old Testament, New Testament and the Biblical languages.

Text, Context and the Johannine Community A Sociolinguistic Analysis of the Johannine Writings David A. Lamb Text, Context and the Johannine Community adopts a new approach to the social context of the Johannine writings by drawing on modern sociolinguistic theory. The Johannine writings have increasingly been seen as the product of a distinct Johannine Community, depicted by some scholars as a sectarian group, opposed both to wider Jewish society and to other Christian groups. This model has largely been constructed on historical-critical grounds, yet given our lack of reliable external information about the origin of the Johannine writings, a more fruitful approach may be to examine their lexico-grammatical and discourse features to determine what these imply about interpersonal relationships. This study compares selected 'narrative asides' from the Gospel of John with a passage section from 1 John and with the two shorter Johannine Epistles. It concludes that register analysis of these texts does not support the idea of a close-knit sectarian group. Revd. Dr. David A. Lamb is a Church of England vicar, a tutor for ministerial training, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Manchester, UK.

A Journey Around John Collected Studies on the Fourth Gospel Wendy Sproston North In A Journey Around John Wendy Sproston North considers a range of themes relevant to the interpretation of the Fourth Gospel. First, the relationship between the Gospel and 1 John. North explores the value of the Epistle as a means of identifying traditional material the evangelist knew, on which basis North analyses John’s composition of the Lazarus story in chapter 11. Second, John’s Christology in which North looks to John’s cultural roots in monotheistic Judaism to understand his capacity to align Jesus with God. Third, the crucial issue of ‘the Jews’ in John, where North clarifies the data by observing a narrative logic in John’s use of the expression. Fourth, North identifies John’s ‘anticipated’ eschatology as a consolation strategy aimed at a readership struggling under life-threatening circumstances in the absence of Jesus. Finally, North looks at John and the Synoptics, and demonstrates how evidence drawn from the Gospel itself can serve to indicate whether or not John composed directly on the basis of the Synoptic record. This collection draws together a number of ground-breaking studies from over thirty years of work on the Fourth Gospel, presenting a cohesive development of thought on this crucial Christian text. Wendy E. Sproston North is a widely published Johannine scholar. She gained a PhD from Bangor University, UK, in 1997 and taught at Hull University, UK.

The Son-Father Relationship and Christological Symbolism in the Gospel of John Adesola Joan Akala This volume examines Johannine symbolism within the lens of Jesus’ relationship with the Father. After demonstrating that the Gospel narrative symbolically portrays Jesus as the Son of God who is relationally inseparable from his Father, the study shows how the Son-Father Relationship (SFR) is at the center of the network of Christological symbols in the Gospel of John. Using an innovative narrative framework, this book unveils the creative and symbolic introduction of the SFR in the Prologue (Jn. 1. 1-18), its development through the words and actions of Jesus’ teaching ministry within the Johannine narrative, and its culmination in the Prayer (Jn. 17); the SFR motif then concludes in the remainder of the Gospel. Two key features presented in this book are a theory of symbolism and a network of symbols. The specially formulated ‘Theory of Johannine Symbolism’ explains the theoretical and theological underpinnings of the Gospel’s symbolic network, called ‘John’s Christological Symbology’. Through the symbolic network, the author of the Gospel fulfills the theological purpose stated in Jn. 20:31—that hearerreaders believe in Jesus the Christ, as the Son of God, and thereby experience eternal life.

Gnosticism, Docetism, and the Judaisms of the First Century The Search for the Wider Context of Johannine Literature and Why It Matters Urban C. von Wahlde In this book von Wahlde provides an exploration of three distinct cultural and religious backgrounds against which scholars have frequently proposed that the Gospel and Letters of John are to be read and understood. von Wahlde examines each of these three possibilities in turn, and shows how they may be regarded as plausible or implausible depending upon the evidence available. von Wahlde shows that there are features within the Gospel and/or Letters of John that do in fact suggest that they were influenced either by Gnosticism, Docetism or one of the variant forms of Judaism. However, in each case, while some of the evidence suggests a particular background, von Wahlde shows that it is equally evident that not all of the evidence can be seen to suggest the same background. Through an examination of the origins and purpose of the gospel, and drawing on the conclusions of his well-regarded commentary on the Johannine literature, von Wahlde presents a new way of understanding the Gospel in its wider contexts.

Raymond Brown, 'The Jews,' and the Gospel of John

The Followers of Jesus as the 'Servant'

From Apologia to Apology

Luke’s Isaianic Model for the Disciples in Luke-Acts

Sonya Shetty Cronin Until the mid-1960s, most commentators of the Gospel of John were aware of a polemic against 'the Jews,' yet they did not consider it with reference to contemporary ethical discussion. A shift in focus in Johannine scholarship is noticeable from the mid-1960s and 1970s to the present, where commentators began to connect the Gospel's polemic against 'the Jews' with potential anti-Judaism in the text. As yet, very little work has been done to answer the question of how this change in sensitivity came about. This book is a historiography of one scholar's growing awareness of potential anti-Judaism in the Gospel of John with the intention of using this individual history to explain the larger trend in biblical studies. Sonya Cronin examines the published work of Raymond Brown, a prominent Catholic New Testament scholar, between the years 1960-1998. The book contextualizes Brown's work by evaluating the impact of ecclesiastical statements and the influence of earlier and contemporary Johannine scholarship on Brown's biblical interpretation, and then posits theories as to why change occurs at specific times.

Genre and Narrative Coherence in the Acts of the Apostles Alan J. Bale Focusing specifically on the issue of genre methodology in Acts, Bale presents work which will have clear ramifications for the study of biblical texts in general. The first part of the work surveys the state of genre theory in Acts scholarship and demonstrates its inadequacy for both classifying and interpreting Acts. Bale constructs a new genre model rooted in contemporary genre theory, tackling the problematic issue in Biblical scholarship of the relationship between history and fiction in literature. From this theoretical analysis Bale presents a new, pragmatic model for genre which is non-exclusive and heavily intertextual. In part two Bale utilises the model in three original readings which draw heavily upon parallels from ancient literature. The first reading shows how a specific device at the beginning of Acts dictates interpretation. The second looks at the problem of Paul’s status as apostle in Acts from a narrative rather than a propositional perspective. The final reading explores several passages in Acts which may instructively be read as incorporating themes and techniques from ancient comedy and related genres. Alan J. Bale completed his PhD at the University of Birmingham, UK, in 2012, since which time he has been working at the Institute for Textual Studies and Electronic Editing with Professor David Parker.

Holly Beers Luke models his portrayal both of Jesus and his disciples in Luke-Acts after the human agent of the Isaianic New Exodus in Isaiah 40-66, the servant. In the Isaianic New Exodus the servant is integral to the restoration; the servant’s mission being embodied is, to a great extent, how the New Exodus comes to fruition. The servant connection is at times explicit, as Jesus is identified with the servant in Luke 4:18-19 (quoting Isa 61:1-2 [with 58:6]); Luke 22:37 (citing Isa 53:12); and Acts 8:32-33 (Isa 53:7-8). Regarding the disciples, Isa 49:6 is quoted by Paul in Acts 13:47 in reference to himself and Barnabas, though a focus only on quotations is too limiting. Allusions to servant passages abound. This work argues that Luke sees Jesus fulfilling the servant role in an ultimate sense, but that his followers, modelled after him in Acts, also embody it. This can be seen in Luke’s use of Isaianic servant imagery, including suffering, lack of violent response (to unjust treatment) and language in the disciples’ characterization.

Character Studies and the Gospel of Mark Edited by Christopher W. Skinner & Matthew Ryan Hauge Characters in the Second Gospel are analysed and an in-depth look is provided of different approaches currently employed by scholars working with literary and reader-oriented methods of analysis. The first section consists of essays on method/theory, and the second consists of seven exegetical character studies using a literary or reader-oriented method. All contributors work from a literary, narrative-critical, reader-oriented, or related methodology. The book summarizes the state of the discussion and examines obstacles to arriving at a comprehensive theory of character in the Second Gospel. Specific contributions include analyses of the representation of women, God, Jesus, Satan, Gentiles, and the Roman authorities of Mark's Gospel. This work is both an exploration of theories of character, and a study in the application of those theories. Christopher W.

Mockery and Secretism in the Social World of Mark's Gospel

The Audience of Matthew

Dietmar Neufeld

Cedric E. W. Vine

Having established the context of mockery and shame in Ancient Mediterranean cultures, Dietmar Neufeld shows how Mark presented Jesus as a person with a sense of honour and with a sense of shame, willing to accept the danger of being visible and the mockery it attracted. Neufeld also considers the social functions of ridicule/mockery more broadly as strategies of social sanction, leading to a better understanding of how social, religious, and political practices and discourse variously succeeded or failed in Mark. Finally, Neufeld investigates the author of Mark's preoccupation with ‘secrecy', showing that his disposition to secrecy in his narrative heightened when the dangers of scorn and ridicule from crowds or persons became pressing concerns. In a fiercely competitive literary environment where mocking and being mocked were ever present dangers, Mark, in his pursuit of authority gains it by establishing a reputation of possessing authentic, secret knowledge. In short, the so-called secrecy motif is shown to be deployed for specific, strategic reasons that differ from those that have been traditionally advanced.

This book seeks to establish the inadequacy of readings of the Gospel of Matthew as intended for, and a reflection of, a local audience or community. In this book, Cedric E. W. Vine posits four main critiques. The first suggests the assumptions which underpin the text-focused process of identifying the Gospel’s audience, whether deemed to be local, Jewish, or universal, lack clarity. Second, local audience readings necessarily exclude plotrelated developments and are both selective and restrictive in their treatment of characterisation. Third, Vine argues that many in an audience of the Gospel would have incorporated their experience of hearing Matthew within pre-existing mental representations shaped by Mark or other early traditions. Fourth, Vine suggests that early Christian audiences were largely heterogeneous in terms of ethnicity, age, sex, wealth, familiarity with Christian traditions, and levels of commitment. As such, the aural reception of the Gospel would have resulted in a variety of impacts. A number of these critiques extend beyond the local audience option and for this reason this study concludes that we cannot currently determine the audience of the Gospel.

An Appraisal of the Local Audience Thesis

Genesis in the New Testament Edited by Maarten J.J. Menken & Steve Moyise Genesis in the New Testament brings together a set of specially commissioned studies by authors who are experts in the field. After an introductory chapter on the use of Genesis in the Dead Sea Scrolls and second temple literature, each of the New Testament books that contain quotations from Genesis are discussed: Matthew, Mark, Luke-Acts, John, Paul, Deutero-Paul, Hebrews, James, 1 Peter and Jude, Revelation. The book provides an overview of the status, role and function of Genesis in the first century. It considers the Greek and Hebrew manuscript traditions and offers insights into the various hermeneutical stances of the New Testament authors and the development of New Testament theology. The book follows on from acclaimed volumes considering Isaiah, Deuteronomy and the Minor Prophets in a similar manner. Maarten J. J. Menken is Professor of New Testament Exegesis at the Faculty of Catholic Theology, University of Tilburg, The Netherlands. Steve Moyise is Professor of New Testament at the University of Chichester, UK, and author of The Old Testament in the Book of Revelation (1995) and The Old Testament in the New (Continuum, 2001).

The Torah in the Ethics of Paul Edited by Martin Meiser The relationship between Paul and Torah is often discussed in terms of Paul's theology of salvation. However it is also important in Pauline ethics. Whilst some scholars dismiss this because of a paucity of Old Testament quotations in Paul, others hint at the consensus between Paul and early Jewish tradition concerning the content of single commands. Each of these positions holds consequences for describing the relationship between Paul and Judaism in general. In order to clarify the discussion the contributors to this volume distinguish strictly between various levels of Pauline theology: the correspondence of single demands within Pauline and early Jewish ethics concerning the content, the rationale of these single demands in comparison, and the general hermeneutic basis of ethics. This is done in the context of essays on the key Pauline passages pertaining to the debate. As such this volume presents an up-to-date window into the current European debate surrounding Paul, Torah and Ethics - and into the state of discussion surrounding Paul's place within Judaism.

Bowing before Christ - Nodding to the State? Reading Paul Politically with Oliver O'Donovan and John Howard Yoder Dorothea H. Bertschmann Does the apostle Paul sponsor political conservatism? A growing number of scholars dispute this perception, arguing that Paul's political imagery and in particular the confession that 'Jesus Christ is Lord' directly challenge the proud Roman emperor. This book critically engages these proposals, pointing out with greater precision the function of political imagery within the Pauline narrative. Dorothea H.

Paul's Use of the Old Testament in Romans 9.19-33

T he L ibrary of N ew T estament S tudies

An Intertextual and Theological Exegesis

Narcissist Universalism A Psychoanalytic Reading of Paul's Epistles Itzhak Benyamini For several decades Paul's epistles have been right at the focus of academic and philosophic debate regarding the questions pertaining to Jewish law; love in relation to the law; the linkage between Judaism and Christianity, and so on. What do Paul's writings consist of that can be used as a key for understanding Western Culture? Itzhak Benyamini seeks to re-read Paul's epistles using a critical psychoanalytical approach in light of Jacques Lacan's theory, in order to find which unconscious core this text provides us with. Benyamini examines Paul's use of Christian ritual and concomitant authoritative evocation of the Biblical tenet Love thy Neighbor, in order to establish a communal Christian identity, separate from ‘carnal' Judaism and idolatry alike. According to Benyamini, Paul has founded a narcissist community of sons who place the Son at the centre of their existence. Consequently, the Christian imaginary is juxtaposed as an alternative to pagan-carnal pleasure - but also as alternative to Judaic law.

Brian J. Abasciano Brian Abasciano continues his project examining the use of the Old Testament in Romans 9. Abasciano builds upon his previous two volumes and their intertextual methodology. This method incorporates into a thorough traditional exegesis a comprehensive analysis of Paul's use of Scripture against the background of interpretive traditions surrounding the texts alluded to, with great emphasis placed on analyzing the original contexts of Paul's citations and allusions. Such an intertextual exegesis is conducted in Romans 9:19-33 with an awareness of the broader unit of chapters 9-11 especially, and also the epistle as a whole. Conclusions for the meaning of these passages and their theological significance are drawn. Brian J. Abasciano earned his Ph.D. in divinity from the University of Aberdeen, UK, pastors at Faith Community Church in Hampton, New Hampshire, USA, and serves as an adjunct professor of New Testament at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, USA.

Is Paul also among the Prophets?

Women in the Greetings of Romans 16.1-16

An Examination of the Relationship between Paul and the Old Testament Prophetic Tradition in 2 Corinthians

A Study of Mutuality and Women's Ministry in the Letter to the Romans

Jeffrey W. Aernie Aernie examines the prophetic material in the Old Testament and its relationship with the prophetic material in Second Temple Judaism, Hellenism, and the early Christian movement. The subsequent analysis of 1 Corinthians constitutes an investigation of the effect of the Old Testament prophetic tradition on Paul's self-presentation in 1 Cor 9.15-18, and the rhetorical framework in 1 Cor 14.20-25 as a methodological foundation for the exegetical analysis of 2 Corinthians. Aernie explores the influence of the Old Testament prophetic tradition on Paul's apostolic self-presentation and rhetoric in 2 Corinthians. The analysis of Paul's self-presentation examines the apostle's relationship with Moses, the Isaianic servant, and Jeremiah in order to define Paul's position with regard to the preceding prophetic tradition. Aernie analyses Paul's argument in 2 Cor 2.14-16; 4.1-6; 6.14-7.1; 12.1-10, and then seeks to examine the influence of the Old Testament prophetic tradition on the formation of Paul's rhetorical framework. Aernie's intention is to provide support for the notion that the particularly prophetic nature of Paul's apostolic persona affects both his self-presentation and rhetorical agenda in 2 Corinthians.

Susan Mathew Susan Mathew examines the structures of mutuality in Romans, to shed light on the issue of women's leadership in Pauline theology. Mathew begins by analyzing the general form of greetings in the Pauline letters, to illuminate the specific form of the greetings in Rom 16.1-16. Mathew couples this with analysis of the leadership of women in the Greco-Roman world, showing that women's leadership roles in the Pauline churches were part of this wider culture. This provides a basis from which to show that the women named in Romans 16.1-16 display Paul's acknowledgment of some women associates, and point to relationships of mutuality in the greetings. A study of Romans 12-13 helps to apprehend the model of mutuality exemplified in the greetings. Finally, the contextual application of mutuality in the community as mutual welcoming and mutual up-building (Romans 14-15) is brought into focus. Mathew then draws together the strands of the Pauline ethos of mutuality, which encourages the leadership roles of women in the greetings at the end of Romans.

Jeffrey W. Aernie has received his PhD from the University of Aberdeen, UK and is Lecturer in New Testament at United Theological College (School of Theology, Charles Sturt University) in North Parramatta, Australia.

Susan Mathew is Lecturer in Biblical Studies at Faith Theological Seminary, Manakala, Kerala, India. She also works voluntarily as the Director of Deepti Special School and Centre for Children with Cerebral Palsy, Manakala, Kerala.

Zeal Without Knowledge The Concept of Zeal in Romans 10, Galatians 1, and Philippians 3 Dane C. Ortlund This book examines the concept of ‘zeal' in three Pauline texts (Rom 10:2; Gal 1:14; Phil 3:6) as a way-in to discussion of the ‘New Perspective' on Paul. The concept of zeal has been discussed in a sustained way by James D. G. Dunn, who argues that Paul was drawing on a long and venerable tradition of Jewish zeal for the nation of Israel, that is, a concern to maintain Israel's distinction from the surrounding nations by defending and reinforcing its boundaries. Ortlund interacts with Dunn, agreeing that this concern for distinctiveness was a crucial, and neglected, concern of Paul's before his conversion. Nevertheless, Ortlund contends that Dunn has presented an overly narrow understanding of Pauline zeal that does not sufficiently locate zeal in the broader picture of general obedience to Torah in Jewish tradition. As such, Ortlund shows in this work that zeal refers most immediately to general obedience to Torah - including, but not to be centrally circumscribed as, ethnic distinction. Dane C. Ortlund is Senior Editor in the Bible Division at Crossway Books. He is the author of A New Inner Relish: Christian Motivation in the Thought of Jonathan Edwards and numerous scholarly articles.

John's Use of the Old Testament in Revelation Gregory K. Beale This book explores the variety of ways John contextually uses the Old Testament in the Apocalypse. The introduction surveys and evaluates recent studies, which have been divided over the issue of whether or not John uses the Old Testament with sensitivity to its original literary context (Beale, Fekkes and Bauckham argue in the affirmative, while Ruiz and Moyise contend that this was not John's focus and see implications for 'reader-response criticism'). The remainder of the book looks at various ways in which John uses the Old Testament and argues that there is a reciprocal interpretative relationship between the Old Testament and the Apocalypse. Studies of special interest concern the bearing of the Old Testament on Revelation's eschatology, on the issue of the millennium, and on the thorny problem of the grammatical solecisms. Gregory K.

Intertextual Insights for the Jesus-Paul Debate

Written To Serve The Use of Scripture in 1 Peter Benjamin Sargent The use of Scripture in 1 Peter has been subject to much extensive analysis in the last thirty years. In Written to Serve Benjamin Sargent offers an up to date and comprehensive analysis of how 1 Pet 1.1012 offers a ‘hermeneutic,’ providing an insight into how Scripture is interpreted in the letter. Sargent also argues that the relation of 1.10-12 has been misunderstood. Rather than offering a Christological hermeneutic with a focus on the suffering and glories of Christ, Sargent asserts that the primary importance of 1.10-12 is its orientation of the prophetic witness towards the eschatological community as an act of service. Similarly, rather than offering a theological narrative of continuity between Israel and Christian communities, 1.10-12 may be seen to suggest a narrative of profound discontinuity in which the community in the present is elevated above God’s people of the past.

Yongbom Lee In this study Yongbom Lee re-examines the old Jesus-Paul debate with insights from current studies on intertextuality in Paul. Lee identifies Paul’s typical ways of handling authoritative traditions in a number of cases providing a set of expectations as to how his use of them elsewhere might look. Lee begins by investigating the use of the Scriptures in the Rule of the Community and the Damascus Document. He then examines five cases of Paul’s use of the Scriptures and contemporary Jewish exegetical traditions and three cases of his use of the Jesus tradition. Despite the skepticism concerning Paul’s knowledge and appreciation of the Jesus tradition, the fact that his use of the Jesus tradition is similar to that of the Scriptures and contemporary Jewish exegetical traditions—with respect to its presumption of authority, various citation methods, and its creative application to the situation of his readers—provides the evidence for its importance to him. Yongbom Lee (PhD, University of Bristol, UK) is the English Ministry pastor at Los Angeles Antioch Presbyterian Church, USA and is an adjunct professor at Fuller Theological Seminary, USA. He also teaches at Central Baptist Theological Seminary, USA, Azusa Pacific University, USA, and Bethesda University of California, USA.

"This is a groundbreaking volume ... Haight has served all ecclesiologists well by initiating a way of looking at ecclesiology as it develops on the ground, so to speak. He has done it with theological integrity and clear analyses." Catholic Books Review In this first of his three volumes, Haight charts the history of the church's self-understandings from the origins of the church in the Jesus movement to the late Middle Ages. He defines the common division in ecclesiological approaches and offers explorations of theological interpretation and intertextuality of the Scripture.

Drawing on an impressive knowledge of how the Church has been understood through the ages, Haight moves beyond history to probe the essence of the Church in all its diversity." Paul Avis, General Secretary: The Council for Christian Unity of the Church of England

E cclesiology

In this final volume Roger Haight describes what the churches possess in common – the need to retrieve ecclesiological constants from history reaching back to scriptural origins in order to construct and portray the common ecclesial existence shared by the churches. In more traditional terms, it aims to find the apostolicity, the catholicity, and the unity amidst the plurality of the churches. Haight discusses here the common ‘ecclesial existence’ of all Christians, and also examines a personal and corporate spirituality of church membership.

Comparative Ecclesiology Roger D. Haight The second volume of Roger Haight’s trilogy traces the history of the church from the 16th Century to the Modern Period. 'Ecclesiology from below' is directed to history; it moves through the actual church of history to ecclesiology or to an understanding of the church both as it is and as it should be. The main goal of this 'comparative ecclesiology' is not simply to lay down different ecclesiologies that emerged over the last 500 years, but to show the richness, vitality, and creativity of the whole church as it moves through history, adjusting to new times, places, and cultures.

A Plague on Both Their Houses Liberal V.S. Conservative Christians and the Divorce of the Episcopal Church USA Christopher Craig Brittain Christopher Craig Brittain offers a wide-ranging examination of specific events within The Episcopal Church (TEC) by drawing upon an analysis of theological debates within the church, field interviews in church congregations, and sociological literature on church conflict. The discussion demonstrates that interpretations describing the situation in TEC as a 'Culture War' between Liberals and Conservatives are deeply flawed. Moreover, Brittain shows that the splits that are occurring within the national church are not so much schisms in the technical sociological sense, but are more accurately described as a familial divorce, with all the ongoing messy entwinement that this term evokes. Rev. Dr Christopher Craig Brittain is Senior Lecturer in Practical Theology at the University of Aberdeen, UK. He is a theologian and ordained Anglican priest, a participant in the international Ecclesiology and Ethnography network of scholars, as well as the Engaged Scholars Studying Congregations network in the USA.

The Crisis of Confidence in the Catholic Church

Democracy in the Christian Church

Raymond G. Helmick, S.J.

An Historical, Theological and Political Case

The Catholic Church in the United States and Europe has seen declining numbers in regular weekly attendance and more generally in clergy and religious life. Scandals have torn at people's allegiance, and feelings of disappointment, disillusion, and anger have become widespread. Helmick examines the roots of this crisis in light of the nature of the Church community, its institutional structure, and the historical experiences that have brought this on. How will the Church revive? Helmick believes that a new growth of Christianity can come now only by a return to the things that are redolent of the life of Jesus. Raymond G. Helmick, S.J., is Instructor in Conflict Resolution at the Department of Theology, Boston College, USA.

Who Do We Think We Are How Catholic Priests Understand Themselves Today Christopher A. Fallon This empirical study explores how the sampled priests understand their priesthood. Chris A. Fallon reviews Liverpool's history of expansion and decline, which has left fewer and older priests serving fewer active Catholics and an undiminished number who still require baptisms, first communions, marriages and funerals. It contrasts the models of priesthood found in Liverpool with American studies of the cultic and servant leader models of priesthood, taking into account the theological viewpoints and personality profiles of the individuals who took part. Christopher A. Fallon studied Theology and Pastoral Ministry in Durham and Denver before serving as a Catholic Priest in the Archdiocese of Liverpool, UK.

"This book represents cutting edge theological scholarship in a pastoral dimension of great urgency for Eastern Europe and the Orthodox world in general." Professor John A. McGuckin, Columbia University, USA This collection of essays integrates a broad spectrum of geographical, denominational, and interdisciplinary perspectives, and analyzes the relationship between family and religion in its various contexts, both historical and contemporary. Divided into four key parts, the contributors address first the biblical and patristic background of the family construct, while the second part reveals denominational and ecumenical perspectives on marriage and the family. The third part sketches a sociological profile of the family in some European countries and addresses pastoral and sacramental issues connected with it. The final part places the Christian family in the context of contemporary society.

Urban Ecclesiology Gospel of Mark, Familia Dei and a Filipino Community facing Homelessness Pascal D. Bazzell Pascal D. Bazzell brings the Filipino ecclesial community (FECH) into contemporary ecclesiological conversation in order to deepen the ecumenical understanding of today's ecclesial reality. Bazzell contributes the relevant data to support a theory of an ecclesial-oriented paradigm that fosters ecclesial communities within homeless populations. There is an extensive dialogue occurring between ecclesiologies, church planting theories, urban missions and the urban poor. Yet the situation with the homeless population is almost entirely overlooked. Bazzell uses sociological and anthropological themes and tools in his research to identify and examine the socio-cultural, theological and ecclesial contours that express the FECH's self-understanding of church. Pascal D. Bazzell is Professor of Intercultural Theology and Missions Department Coordinator at Koinonia Theological Seminary, Philippines. He holds an MA in Mission and Master of Divinity from that institution and is a PhD (ABD) at Fuller Theological Seminary.

Imagining an Eschatological Ecclesiology Scott MacDougall offers a proposal for recovering the 'more' to communion and ecclesiology to aid in imagining a church not beyond the world (Zizioulas) or over against the world (Milbank), but in and for the world in love and service. MacDougall works this out in conversation with systematic theologians - Moltmann, Pannenberg, Metz, and by engaging with a theology of Christian practices developed by Bass and Dykstra. The potential for the church to become a vehicle for love and service can be realised when it anticipates God's promised perfection in the communions between God, humanity, and the rest of creation.

Perpetually Reforming: A Theology of Church Reform and Renewal John P. Bradbury "[A] worthy ecclesiological study, abounding in stimulating discussions and insights; a resource for all concerned with the integrity of the Christian Church." Paul Avis, University Exeter, UK One of the slogans of the reformation was ecclesia reformata semper reformanda – ‘the reformed church always reforming’. Churches throughout the western world are currently engaged in reform and renewal programmes through internal structural reforms as well as movements like ‘emerging church’. This book presents a challenging theology of church reform and renewal that offers a contemporary understanding of this historic slogan. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Bradbury discerns processes and practices which are perpetually reforming and renewing the identity of the church. It examines doctrinal and confessional conceptions of the church, re-examines texts concerned with covenantal renewal and explores Jewish-Christian dialogue as an example of renewal. A constructive theology is offered utilizing the categories of collective memory and mimetic practice. This upholds fundamental Christian identity, whilst driving the process of reform and renewal under God in the context of a three-way relationship between God, the church and the world. John P. Bradbury is the Director of Studies in Theology and Church History at Westminster College, Cambridge. He is a minister of the United Reformed Church, and previously served in the centre of Liverpool, UK.

Apologia Pro Vita Sua John Henry Newman Even before the publication of his masterwork, John Henry Newman had been regarded as one of the most important religious thinkers on the 19th Century. His decision in 1945 to leave his Anglicanism behind and convert to the Roman Catholic faith was one that rocked the Victorian establishment at a time when virulent anti-Catholic feeling ran high. It was in response to one particularly vicious attach – by the Reverend Charles Kingsley – that Newman wrote his Apologia Pro Vita Sua. A humane and vivid account of the development of his ideas and his faith and a passionate defence of both, the book remains a landmark work of Victorian literature and autobiography and one that continues to resonate to this day. John Henry Newman (1801-1890) has been described by The Guardian as 'the most influential and revered English-speaking religious thinker and spiritual writer since the reformation.' A leader of the 19th Century Oxford Movement that sought to return the Church of England to the Catholic Church, he was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010.

Ecumenical Perspectives on the Filioque for the 21st Century Edited by Myk Habets Myk Habets presents a range of theological standpoints regarding the filioque. With some contributors arguing for its retention and others for its removal, still others contest that its presence or otherwise in the Creed is not what is of central concern, but rather that how it should be understood is of ultimate importance. What contributors share is a commitment to interrogating and developing the central theological issues at stake in a consideration of the filioque, thus advancing ecumenical theology and inter-communal dialogue without diluting the discussion. Contributors span the Christian traditions: Roman Catholic, Protestant, Eastern Orthodox, and Pentecostal. Myk Habets is the Head of Carey Graduate School, Carey Baptist College, New Zealand, and a Baptist minister.

The Man From Ouderwater Rustin E. Brian Jacob Arminius was a Dutch theologian whose views have become the basis of Arminianism and the Dutch Remonstrant movement. Arminius has attempted to reform Calvinism and lent his name to a movement which resisted some of the Calvinist tenets. Rustin E. Brian outlines the life and theology of Arminius, and argues that Arminius theology is thoroughly unconcerned with being either 'Reformed' or 'Catholic', but results in one theology that is shaped and guided first and foremost by Scripture. Brian offers a few constructive proposals for the future of Arminian scholarship, and examines the state of current research on Arminius’ theology. Rustin E.

Theology and the Future Evangelical Assertions and Explorations Edited by Trevor Cairney & David Starling Theology was once 'queen of the sciences', the integrating centre of Christendom's conceptual universe. In our own time the very idea of systematic theology is frequently called into question, derided as an arcane and superstitious pseudo-discipline. Beginning with the question of God, this book explores what might be meant by 'the future of God', and what its implications are for Christian theology. The essays bring together a mix of specialist theologians and interdisciplinary thinkers to support the assertion that there can be no more critical endeavour to the future than understanding God and all things in relationship to him. Trevor Cairney is Director of CASE, Master of New College and Professor of Education within the faculty of Arts and Social Science at the University of New South Wales, Australia. He has written 9 books and over 150 refereed articles and book chapters across the fields of education, early learning, language development and (more recently) public theology.

Reading the Liturgy An exploration of texts in Christian worship

Hal St John Broadbent Chauvet is the voice of contemporary Catholic sacramental theology. His ideas are assimilated by students of theology (in particular of the liturgy) throughout the French and English speaking world, more or less without critical appraisal. Broadbent revisits Chauvet's sources, with special emphasis on Heidegger's philosophical writings. It uncovers serious omissions in Chauvet's appropriation of Heidegger's thought. These omissions destabilize Chauvet's theological positions and have far-reaching implications, given the influence of Chauvet's thought, for contemporary Catholic sacramental theology.

Juliette J. Day By combining insights from literary and linguistic studies with those from historical and contemporary liturgical studies, Day investigates the nature of a text in relation to unscripted speech; how authors and worshipers make use of genre, narrative and other texts; how the textuality of the liturgy and its ritual context affects the sort of language used in worship, and what implicit meanings are conveyed in the way liturgical texts are printed in books. This is a unique contribution to discussions within churches about the provision of suitable words for liturgical worship, and to debates among scholars about liturgical hermeneutics. Juliette J. Day is University Lecturer in Church History at the University of Helsinki, Finland, and Senior Research Fellow in Liturgy at the University of Oxford, UK.

The God Argument

Dual Citizenships

The Case Against Religion and for Humanism

Two-Natures Christologies and the Jewish Jesus

A.C. Grayling "A lucid, informative and admirably accessible account of the atheist-secularhumanist position." New Statesman There has been a bad-tempered quarrel between defenders and critics of religion in recent years. Both sides have expressed themselves acerbically because there is a very great deal at stake in the debate. This book thoroughly and calmly examines all the arguments and associated considerations offered in support of religious belief, and does so in full consciousness of the reasons people have for subscribing to religion, and the needs they seek to satisfy by doing so. And because it takes account of all the issues, its solutions carry great weight.

Kayko Driedger Hesslein Political theories of multiculturalism are used to construct a Christology to propose that Jesus’ Jewishness (his past), his divine transcendence, and his relationship with Christians today (his contemporary presence) are all formative of one another in the person of Christ. Kayko Driedger Hesslein makes a convincing case for the necessity and possibility of a non-supersessionist Christology that falls within two-natured christologies. The book introduces multicultural theory as a framework for conceptualizing how Jesus can be authentically Jewish and embedded in contextual Christian communities simultaneously. Kayko Driedger Hesslein (PhD, Graduate Theological Union, USA) is an ordained minister of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada.

Theology and Literature after Postmodernity Edited by Zoë Lehmann Imfeld, Peter Hampson & Alison Milbank

Lyotard and Theology Lieven Boeve An innovative study of the thought and writings of Jean-François Lyotard in relation to theology. Lieven Boeve contextualises Lyotard's writings and approach with reference to his theological thought. By focusing on issues such as the nature of the differend within language, the sublime experience and our (in)ability to witness to the breakdowns of language and representation, Lyotard's thought provokes theology to reconsider its own foundations. Through exploring the Christian narrative as an 'open' one, Boeve aims to make use of new possibilities for theology through a renewed comprehension of Lyotard's significance for today. Lieven Boeve is Professor of Fundamental Theology at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, where he currently also serves as Dean of the Faculty and as the co-ordinator of the Research Group 'Theology in a Postmodern Context'. From 2005 till 2009 he served as president of the European Society for Catholic Theology.

Rogue Theodicy

Christianity and the Disciplines

Glen Newey in Dialogue

The Transformation of the University

Glen Newey

Edited by Oliver D. Crisp, Gavin D'Costa, Mervyn Davies & Peter Hampson

How should we understand the place of justice in politics? For some, including Rawls and Dworkin, justice is simply a matter of superimposing norms on political structures that are designed to accommodate them. Others, including Honig and Geuss, doubt whether the transfer of abstract principle to politics can proceed so simply. In this provocative essay, Newey reviews this as a debate in political theology, which understands concepts in political theory as theological in origin. Modern secular liberal thinkers no longer take seriously the idea that outcomes in the world could be subject to the sway of omnipotent forces, least of all supernatural ones. Principles of justice can properly be formulated in abstraction from questions of power. But Newey contends that this is problematical for two reasons. First, the question of theodicy gained much of its urgency from the notion that God’s power might, after all, be limited in the face of evils, and second, the very idea that formulated principles set a standard to which political outcomes can be held accountable seems itself to assume a kind of omnipotent thinking. Newey’s essay is subjected to critical interrogation by interlocutors including Rainer Forst, Veronique Munoz-Darde, John Milbank and Lea Ypi, and the volume concludes with a response by Newey. Glen Newey is Professor of Political Theory at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. His previous appointments were at Keele University, UK, University of Sussex, UK and University of Strathclyde, UK. He is the author of Hobbes and Leviathan (2007) and After Politics: The Rejection of Politics in Contemporary Liberal Philosophy (2001) and the co-editor (with John Horton) of The Political Theory of John Gray (2006).

"Finally, a book that takes on the difference Christianity might or should make for how the disciplines of the university are pursued. This is essential reading for Christian and non- Christian alike." Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics, Duke Divinity School, USA This volume shows how various intellectual disciplines (most found within the modern university) can learn from theology and philosophy in primarily methodological and substantitive terms. It explores the possible ways in which current presuppositions and practices of the displine might be challenged. It also indicates the possibilities of a ‘Christian Culture’ in relation to that discipline or the way in which that discipline might look within a real or theoretical Christian university.

Politics in Friendship: A Theological Account Guido de Graaff Explores the political significance of friendship, generally and in the context of church life, emphasizing the role of judgment as a shared political practice. de Graaff frames his explorations around a particular story of friendship: the story of Bishop George Bell and German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Drawing on Arendt and O'Donovan, de Graaff argues that both stories can be read as one of friends assuming the responsibility of political judgment in an emergency situation – their story casts doubts on secular politics as the primary context for interpreting the friends' judgments. A unique contribution to the topic of friendship and politics.

Becoming a Bishop

The New Evangelization

A Theological Handbook of Episcopal Ministry

Faith, People, Context and Practice

Paul Avis Why Bishops? What's so special about Bishops? What are Bishops called to and how best can they do it? This book is the single resource of answers to all the questions one could conceivably have about what a Bishop is and their function and purpose in the Church. Paul Avis offers a fascinating account of the ministerial identity of the bishop, and in particular the tasks and roles of episcopal ministry. Placing the Bishop within his wider ecclesiological framework, Avis illuminates the role of the individual in episcopal ministry. The book sets the vital work of a Bishop within an ecclesiological framework: the Bishop in the Anglican Communion, within the Church of Christ, within the purposes of God. Revd Paul Avis is Chaplain to HM the Queen, and has served as General Secretary of the Church of England's Council for Christian Unity (19982011). He is an honorary professor of theology at the University of Exeter, UK.

Paul Grogan & Kirsteen Kim The Second Vatican Council was a seminal event. The Council began an engagement with the modern and secularized world through a renewed proclamation of the Gospel. John Paul II described this as the New Evangelization, and in 2010, Benedict XVI confirmed this priority by creating the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization to ‘re-propose the perennial truth of the Gospel.’ This volume draws on material presented and discussed at the conference ‘Vatican II, 50 years on: The New Evangelization’ organised by Leeds Trinity University on 26-29th June 2012.

The Great Grace Receiving Vatican II Today Nigel Zimmermann Nigel Zimmermann presents critical reflections from leading Catholic prelates and scholars on the Second Vatican Council fifty years after it began. These include two senior Cardinals, one of whom is the head of the Congregation of Bishops and the other a member of Pope Francis' new advisory body on reforming the Roman Curia.

Fundamental Theology A Protestant Perspective Matthew L. Becker Matthew L. Becker offers the first universitylevel introduction to "fundamental theology" from a Protestant perspective. The book addresses issues that are preliminary and foundational to the discipline in the context of a liberal arts university. The book also sets forth what has traditionally been called a 'theological encyclopaedia', that is, a description of the parts of Christian theology that together form the discipline into a unified academic subject. Finally, Becker examines the relation of Christian theology to the arts and sciences within the university and underscores the need for critical and positive interaction with these other academic disciplines. Matthew L. Becker is associate professor of theology at Valparaiso University, USA. An ordained Lutheran minister, Dr. Becker has served congregations in Chicago and Oregon. He is a co-editor of God Opens Doors, a history of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod in the Pacific Northwest.

On the Foundation of the Theology of the Crucified One in the Dispute Between Theism and Atheism

Eberhard Jüngel Foreword by Philip G.

Eberhard Jüngel Foreword by R. David Nelson Jüngel sets out to establish a basis for a theology of God the crucified while avoiding the shoals of theism and atheism. He warns of the danger, rooted in the fact that modernity no longer dares to think God, of talking God to death, of silencing God with too much God-talk. Jüngel analyzes what our possibilities are of thinking and speaking God and concludes that theology has to become the narrative of God's humanity. This second book in the series helps the reader to gain a more explicit awareness of the contemporary issues Jüngel's theology grapples with.

Guides for the Perplexed are accessible introductions to writers and subjects that readers can find especially challenging or indeed downright bewildering.

Foreword by John B. Wester Covering the major topics in Christian dogmatics and philosophical theology, this work includes a comprehensive survey of Jüngel's own theology; interpretative studies of Kierkegaard and the work of Heinrich Vogel; dogmatic studies of the historical Jesus, the hiddenness of God, the sacrifice of Christ, justification and ethics, aesthetics and theological anthropology. Throughout, the work is characterized by Jüngel's acute analysis of texts and themes in theology and philosophy, and by lively engagement with the intellectual heritage of modernity.

Justification

Pneumatology: A Guide for the Perplexed Daniel Castelo This guide elaborates and constructively engages some of the ongoing dogmatic challenges within the field of Christian pneumatology. Rather than a strict survey, the book largely represents a collection of working proposals on a number of relevant themes, including cosmology, mediation, the nature and role of Spiritbaptism, and discernment. For those who have found pneumatology frustrating and confusing, the book serves as an aid to clarify some of the most crucial matters at stake in the doctrine of the Holy Spirit and in turn provide some ways forward amidst the morass of possibilities available.

Eberhard Jüngel Foreword by R. David Nelson This significant work, precipitated by the LutheranRoman Catholic Joint Declaration on the doctrine of justification, represents Jüngel’s most sustained theological writing. Jüngel examines the role of justification in Christian faith and emphasizes its central importance. He traces the history of the concept of 'justice' in Greek thought, and of the Old Testament parallel concept 'righteousness'. He then moves on to a consideration of the righteousness of God in its Christian context, and in particular to God's righteousness in Christ. A major contribution to theological discussion is found in his fresh and fearless treatment of the unfashionable topic of sin.

The Interruptive Word Eberhard Jüngel on the Sacramental Structure of God's Relation to the World R. David Nelson R. David Nelson demonstrates that Jüngel consistently appeals to the category of 'interruption' for describing God's sacramental relation to the world and its actualities, concluding that the hegemony of the category of 'interruption' in Jüngel's theology of sacrament raises important questions concerning its coherence and tenability. This book offers an exhaustive evaluation of Jüngel’s sacramental theology and offers stimulating discussions of theology and language, Christology and ecclesiology. R. David Nelson is Acquisitions Editor for Baker Academic & Brazos Press.

Dynamics of Difference Christianity and Alterity Who is my other? What do I encounter when I encounter my other? And what responses and responsibilities does the encounter with my other evoke? Grappling with questions like these, the contributions to this compilation analyze alterity in the Bible, philosophy, theology, within interreligious dialogues, and the radical alterity of God. Tying in with Jeanrond’s explorations of the many faces and facets of the other, this work ultimately aims to advocate openness to the other as a necessity for both religion and reflections on religion.

Ables In the last half of the 20th century, a consensus emerged that Christian theology in the Western tradition had failed to produce a viable doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Augustine's trinitarian theology bore the blame for that failure. Ables offers a rereading of Western trinitarian theology to better understand the logic of its pneumatology. He studies the pneumatologies of Augustine and Barth, and argues that the vision of the doctrine of the Spirit in these theologians should be understood as a way of talking about participating in the mystery of God as a performance of the life of Christ.

The Son of God Beyond the Flesh

The Freedom of God for Us

A Historical and Theological Study of the Extra Calvinisticum

Karl Barth's Doctrine of Divine Aseity

Andrew M. McGinnis The so-called extra Calvinisticum—the doctrine that the incarnate Son of God continued to exist beyond the flesh—was not invented by John Calvin or Reformed theologians. If this is true then why do scholars continue to fixate almost exclusively on Calvin when they discuss this doctrine? The answer to the "why" of this scholarly trend, however, is not as important as correcting the trend. McGinnis expands our vision of the historical functions and christological significance of this doctrine by expounding its uses in Cyril of Alexandria, Thomas Aquinas, Zacharias Ursinus, and in the work of theologians from the Reformation to the present.

Brian D. Asbill Analyzes Barth's revitalization of divine aseity to appreciate how it can remain a central motif in contemporary accounts of the divine life. Asbill presents the general theological context and examines the development of Barth’s relationship between the life of God pro nobis (pronobeity) and a se (aseity); as well as the basic theological convictions that guide his approach to the divine being in Church Dogmatics II/1. Divine aseity is characterized as the self-demonstration and self-movement of God's life, a trinitarian and entirely unique reality, a primarily positive and dynamic concept, and the manner and readiness of God's love for creatures. Brian D. Asbill received his Ph.D. from the University of Aberdeen and worked in theology departments at a variety of institutions throughout southern California. He has since joined the MBA class of 2016 at the Johnson School of Management at Cornell University, USA.

Karl Barth’s Theology as a Resource for a Christian Theology of Religions

Karl Barth and the Incarnation

Sven Ensminger

Darren O. Sumner

For the purpose of creating a Christian theology of religions, Ensminger turns to the theology of Karl Barth. He examines Barth’s theology under the doctrinal aspects of revelation, revelation and religion, theological anthropology and election, addressing questions such as the possibility of and context for revelation, Barth’s understanding of religion, the theological approach to the human being, and soteriology. Ensminger offers an introduction to key doctrinal aspects of Barth’s theology and opens a new avenue on Christian theology of religion.

Christology and the Humility of God Demonstrates the significance of Barth's Christology by examining it in the context of his orientation toward the classical tradition. To compare this Christology with the doctrine's history, Sumner suggests that the Chalcedonian portrait of the incarnation is conceptually vulnerable at a number of points. By recasting the doctrine in actualist terms - the history of Jesus' lived existence as God's fulfillment of His covenant with creatures, rather than a metaphysical uniting of natures - Barth is able to move beyond problems inherent in the tradition. Barth's great contribution to Christology is in the unapologetic affirmation of 'the humanity of God'. Darren O.

Jonathan Edwards's Theology: A Reinterpretation Kyle C. Strobel Kyle C. Strobel offers a dogmatic exposition of Edwards's theology by unveiling the trinitarian architecture of his thought. Building upon this analysis, Strobel applies his construct to reinterpret three key areas of redemption debated widely in the secondary literature: spiritual knowledge, regeneration, and religious affection. In order to achieve this purpose, Strobel's approach is theological rather than philosophical, employing Edwards's self-confession as a Reformed theologian to guide his analysis. In advancing a theological reading of Edwards, Strobel focuses on the systematic nature of Edwards's theology, ordering it according to his doctrinal affirmations. Kyle C.

Fully Alive The Glory of God and the Human Creature in Karl Barth, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Theological Exegesis of Scripture Jason A. Fout Jason A. Fout builds a case for seeing divine glory as intrinsically relational, creating a sociality which allows for a human agency transfigured by God’s glory. Moving beyond Barth and von Balthasar, Fout turns to theological exegesis of Scripture to construct an alternative account of divine glory, worked out in the act of glorifying: first in God, then in divine glorifying of humans, and in processes of honouring/ glorifying among humans. Divine glory is shown to be consistent with a responsive and creative human obedience to God, and shown to constitute human agency which is creaturely and dependent yet not overwhelmed. Jason A. Fout (PhD, University of Cambridge, UK) is a priest of the Episcopal Church. He teaches theology and ethics in the Bexley Seabury Seminary Federation, USA.

Trinity, Freedom and Love An Engagement with the Theology of Eberhard Jüngel Piotr J. Malysz By critically engaging Jüngel's doctrine of the Trinity, this volume makes a broader, constructive contribution to contemporary trinitarian thought. The argument centres on the question - posed by the inconsistencies uncovered in Jüngel's doctrine of God - of how one can assert both divine freedom and the inter-subjectivity of God's trinitarian self-determination. Can one maintain God's freedom in the interest of divine spontaneity and creativity, while remaining committed to inter-subjective vulnerability which the Cross entails as an event of divine love? Malysz responds to this question by offering an imaginative way of closely integrating the doctrine of God and theological anthropology. Piotr J.

What has Wittenberg to Do with Azusa? Luther's Theology of the Cross and Pentecostal Triumphalism David Courey Global Pentecostalism is a twenty-first century phenomenon. Yet in North America, where the movement was born, it has stalled. Courey reveals the cause of this plateau in the triumphalism characteristic of both North American Protestantism and Pentecostalism. Through the identification of parallels between Martin Luther and contemporary Pentecostals, Courey detects in Luther's Theology of the Cross a potent remedy for this tension. Utilizing this insight, Courey reflects on other faith traditions, and provides a counterpoint to the triumphalism that inhibits the development of Pentecostalism in North America and around the world. David Courey is Pastor of Calvary Pentecostal Assembly (Cambrige, ON, Canada). He holds an MA in History and a PhD in Theology from McMaster Divinity College, Canada. He has taught in Bible Colleges in Canada, as well as in Africa and Asia.

Theological Theology

Christian Faith and the Earth

Essays in Honour of John B. Webster

Current Paths and Emerging Horizons in Ecotheology

Edited by R. David Nelson, Darren Sarisky & Justin Stratis John B. Webster is one of the most important systematic theologians working today and this collection of essays is devoted to his work. The areas of discussion include the nature and method of theology, Scripture and its interpretation, Christology and the doctrine of the Trinity, moral theology, and the reading and use of theological dialogue partners. The essays are written by eminent systematic theologians, theological ethicists, and biblical scholars from a wide range of Christian traditions, including Rowan Williams, Bruce McCormack and Stanley Hauerwas. R. David Nelson is Acquisitions Editor for Baker Academic & Brazos Press, USA.

Edited by Ernst M. Conradie, Sigurd Bergmann, Celia Deane-Drummond & Denis Edwards Christianity has often been accused for being complicit in ecological destruction. In response, Christian ecotheology offers both a Christian critique of environmental destruction and an ecological critique of Christianity. The volume captures insights emerging from a collaborative research project on 'Christian Faith and the Earth' in which more than one hundred leading ecotheologians from six continents have participated since 2007. Each of the essays explores one of the core Christian symbols, and captures the current state of the debate as well as identifying emerging horizons for such an ecological reformation, and encouraging conversation on the path ahead.

Darren Sarisky received his PhD from King's College Aberdeen, UK. He currently holds a position as Junior Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge, UK where he also teaches Christian Doctrine.

Ernst M. Conradie is Professor in the Department of Religion and Theology at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa.

The Dialectics of Creation

Christ, Power and Mammon

Creation and the Creator in Edward Schillebeeckx and David Burrell

Karl Barth and John Howard Yoder in Dialogue

Martin G. Poulsom

Scott Prather

By analyzing the distinction and the relation between creation and its Creator Martin G. Poulsom investigates the philosophical components of Christian faith in creation. The writings of Edward Schillebeeckx and David Burrell supply a terminology of distinction and relation that shapes the discourse, following in the footsteps of Aquinas. Poulsom's interpretation of Schillebeeckx enriches current approaches to this thinker and offers a significant contribution to thought on the doctrine of Creation and issues surrounding the 'ontological distinction', which is of major concern in philosophical theology today. Martin G. Poulsom SDB is a Salesian of Don Bosco, and a Lecturer in Theology at Heythrop College, University of London, UK.

Conversational Theology Essays on Ecumenical, Postliberal, and Political Themes, with Special Reference to Karl Barth

This book examines the role of the New Testament concept of the ‘principalities and powers' in the thought of Karl Barth and John Howard Yoder, showing how this biblical concept of power is central to the fundamental theological convictions of each thinker. Prather offers a scholarly account of the underexplored theological and ethical import of a major biblical theme and the book addresses questions and concerns from a wide range of academic and lay theological interest. He brings Barth and Yoder into dialogue here and examines the three crucial areas: the ‘confessional' distinction of church and world; the demonization of political power; and the intrinsic relation between the political and economic powers. While other theologians have rightly identified a ‘christocentric' connection between the thought of Barth and Yoder, no attempt has been made to bring them together through the sustained analysis of a single doctrinal or ethical issue - this book does just that.

Animals as Religious Subjects

Hallowed Be Thy Name

Transdisciplinary Perspectives

The Sanctification of All in the Soteriology of P. T. Forsyth

Edited by Celia Deane-Drummond, Rebecca Artinian-Kaiser & David L. Clough This book examines one of the most pressing cultural concerns that surfaced in the last decade - the question of the place and significance of the animal. This collection of essays represents the outcome of various conversations regarding animal studies and shows multidisciplinarity at its very best, namely, a rigorous approach within one discipline in conversation with others around a common theme. The contributors discuss the most relevant disciplines regarding this conversation, namely: philosophy, anthropology, religious studies, theology, history of religions, archaeology and cultural studies. The first section, Thinking about Animals, explores philosophical, anthropological and religious perspectives, raising general questions about the human perception of animals and its crucial cultural significance. The second section explores the intriguing topic of the way animals have been used historically as religious symbols and in religious rituals. The third section re-examines some Christian theological and biblical approaches to animals in the light of current concerns. The final section extends the implications of traditional views about other animals to more specific ethical theories and practices.

Jason Goroncy "Goroncy’s beautifully crafted prose and astute theological judgement combine in a compelling case that Forsyth deserves to be reckoned with still." Murray Rae, University of Otago, New Zealand This book fills a noticeable gap in Forsyth studies. It provides readers interested in the thought of Forsyth with a way of reading and critiquing his corpus, and that in a way that takes due account of, and elucidates, the theological, philosophical and historical locale of his thought. Goroncy explores whether the notion of ‘hallowing' provides a profitable lens through which to read and evaluate Forsyth's soteriology. He suggests that the hallowing of God's name is, for Forsyth, the way whereby God both justifies himself and claims creation for divine service.

This book proposes that reading Forsyth's corpus as essentially an exposition of the first petition of the Lord's Prayer is an invitation to better comprehend not only his soteriology but also, by extension, his broader theological vision and interests.

Ask the Beasts: Darwin and the God of Love

Illuminating Faith

Elizabeth A. Johnson

Francesca Aran Murphy

"In Ask the Beasts Elisabeth Johnson combines erudition and theological reflection, a pastoral passion and ethical commitment to show that Darwinian theory of evolution need not stand against a religious belief in God ... The clarity of her exposition and her ability to bring classical theological affirmations to bear on contemporary issues makes this book an accessible and required reading on the burning issues of faith, science, and ecological well-being." Francis Schüssler Fiorenza, Harvard Divinity School, USA What value does the natural world have within the framework of religious belief? The crisis of biodiversity in our day, when species are going extinct at more than 1,000 times the natural rate, renders this question acutely important. In Ask the Beasts: Darwin and the God of Love, Professor of Theology Elizabeth A. Johnson explores the notion that love of the natural world is an intrinsic element of faith in God and that far from being an add-on, ecological care is at the centre of moral life. Elizabeth A. Johnson is Distinguished Professor of Theology at Fordham University, New York, USA. She is the author of many bestselling books, including most recently Quest for the Living God.
