Edited by Lee Barrett, Lancaster Theological Seminary, USA Lee Barrett discusses the uniqueness and challenges of Kierkegaard’s approach to theology. Barrett explores Kierkegaard’s thoughts on sin, his descriptions of Jesus Christ as the enactment in time of God’s eternal self-giving compassion, his view of faith and his critique of culturally established Christianity as a form of fatal religious anaesthesia. Each chapter includes its own introduction, explanatory notes, discussion questions and recommendation for further reading in both the primary and secondary literature.

Included are links to Kierkegaardian texts provided by the Kierkegaard Research Center of the University of Copenhagen, the Howard and Edna Hong Kierkegaard Library of St Olaf College, as well as the resources of the Søren Kierkegaard Society.

This reader presents a careful selection of readings from key thinkers that can help the inquisitive student think more deeply about political theology. Excerpts are included from Aquinas, Schmitt, Moltmann, Martin Luther, John Howard Yoder and Niebuhr, and are grouped by topic to easily track these thinkers' chronological development.

Sartre and Theology Kate Kirkpatrick, University of Hertfordshire and University of Oxford, UK Jean-Paul Sartre was one of the twentieth century's most prominent atheists. But his philosophy was informed by theological writers and themes in ways that have not previously been acknowledged. In Sartre and Theology, Kirkpatrick examines Sartre's philosophical formation and rarely discussed early work, demonstrating how, and which, theology shaped Sartre's thinking. She also shows that Sartre's philosophy - especially Being and Nothingness and Existentialism is A Humanism - contributed to several prominent twentieth-century theologies, examining Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and Liberation theologians's rebuttals and appropriations of Sartre UK August 2017 • US August 2017 • 224 pages PB 9780567664495 • £16.99 / $22.95 • HB 9780567664501 • £50.00 / $68.00 Individual eBook 9780567664525 • £16.99 / $17.99 Library eBook 9780567664518 Series: Philosophy and Theology • T&T Clark

Karl Barth: Post-Holocaust Theologian?

Edited by George Hunsinger, Princeton Theological Seminary, USA The contributors examine numerous topics: the extent to which Barth's theology compares favourably with recent post-Holocaust theologies, Barth’s position on the Jews during the Third Reich, his critique of the German-Christian Völkish church on ethical grounds. The discussion tackles Barth's dialectical “Yes” to Israel’s christological “No”, it unpacks his ground-breaking exegesis of Rom. 9-11; and examines Barth’s rejection of the 1933 Aryan Law that formed the basis for excluding baptized Jews from Christian communities during the Third Reich.

PHILOSOPHICAL THEOLOGY / POLITICAL THEOLOGY

T&T Clark Reader in Kierkegaard as Theologian

Illuminating Modernity Series Editors: Balázs M. Mezei, Peter Pazmany Catholic University, Hungary & Francesca Aran Murphy, University of Notre Dame, USA Investigates the ways philosophers such as Heidegger, Brentano and Husserl are both indebted to and at odds with Thomist philosophy, and offers a new way of understanding and developing ‘Romantic Thomism’ today.

Radical Revelation

John Duns Scotus

Balázs M. Mezei, Peter Pazmany Catholic University, Hungary

Introduction to His Fundamental Positions

Offers a practical and innovative interpretation of divine revelation from a philosophical-theological perspective. Mezei outlines the most important presuppositions of our notion of divine revelation in a historic and semantic setting, and elaborates the methodology of model analysis. By engaging with a wide variety of texts – by Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Joseph Ratzinger – Mezei makes a strong and clear statement when explaining what the radical revelation is, how it can be understood and its overall importance.

Etienne Gilson Translated by James Colbert Étienne Gilson's Jean Duns Scot: Introduction à ses positions fondamentales is widely understood to be one of the most important works on John Duns Scotus’ texts, which are famous for their complexity. This volume is the first translation into English, with an introduction by Trent Pomplun and an Afterword by John Millbank.

Scotus’ brilliantly complex and nuanced thought, which earned his the nickname “the Subtle Doctor”, left a mark on discussions of such disparate topics as the semantics of religious language, the problem of universals, divine illumination, and the nature of human freedom.

THEOLOGICAL ETHICS

T&T Clark Enquiries in Theological Ethics Series Editors: Brian Brock, University of Aberdeen, UK & Susan F. Parsons, editor of Studies of Christian Ethics Theologians of differing ecclesial loyalties have found common concerns within the discipline of theological ethics, developing deeper intellectual friendships through fresh critical investigations of the Christian inheritance and the modes of godly being it commends. The series seeks to foster that spirit as a witness of Christian faith in the contemporary world among those of other faiths and of none.

Theological Neuroethics

Communities of Restoration

Christian Ethics Meets the Science of the Human Brain

Ecclesial Ethics and Restorative Justice

Neil Messer, University of Winchester, UK Neil Messer brings together a range of theoretical and practical questions raised by current research on the human brain: about both the ‘ethics of neuroscience’ and the ‘neuroscience of ethics’.

Drawing on both theological ethics and the science-and-theology field, Messer discusses cognitive-scientific and neuroscientific studies of religion, arguing that they do not give grounds to dismiss theological perspectives on the human self. He examines a range of topics across the whole field of neuroethics, including consciousness, the self and the value of human life; the neuroscience of morality; determinism, freewill and moral responsibility; and the ethics of cognitive enhancement.

Protestant Virtue and Stoic Ethics Elizabeth Agnew Cochran, Duquesne University, USA

4

Thomas Noakes-Duncan, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand By bringing together the insights of ecclesial ethics with the theory and practice of restorative justice this book shows why a theological account of the theory and practice of restorative justice is fruitful for articulating and clarifying the witness of the church, especially when faced with conflict or wrongdoing. This can help extend the church’s imagination as to how it might better become God’s community of restoration as it reflects on the ways in which the justice of God is taking shape in its own community.

Theology and Ecology Across the Disciplines On Care for Our Common Home

Examines the dialogue between Roman Stoic ethics and the work of Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Jonathan Edwards. Elizabeth Agnew Cochran illuminates key theological convictions that provide a foundation for constructing a contemporary Protestant virtue ethic consistent with a number of theological beliefs characteristic of the historical Reformed tradition. Building on this conversation, Cochrane develops the claims that faith holds a unique value among possible moral goods; virtue has a unity that coincides with a soteriology that conceives justification as radically transforming a Christian from a sinner to one who is righteous before God; and moral responsibility is realized through a dispositional consent to God’s loving providence.

This volume draws from a variety of academic disciplines and positions to explore the role and nature of environmental responsibility, especially where these intersect with religious or theological viewpoints. The disciplines, including history, philosophy, literature, politics, peace studies, economics, women’s studies, and the ecological sciences have begun to develop distinct perspectives on the urgent ecological issues of our day, as well as pointing toward specific practices at the local and global level.

From Violence to Peace

Reconceiving Sex, Reproduction and Generativity

Theology, Law and Community

Susannah Cornwall, University of Exeter, UK Much Christian theological discussion of family, sex and marriage seems to claim that these institutions are immaculate and immutable. Yet, models of family, parenting and reproduction have been and are clearly still changing. Through engagement with theologies of adoption, pro-natalism, marriage and queer theology, Susannah Cornwall re-considers developments in these models not as distortions or divergences from a divinely-ordained blueprint, but as at peace with the core of these institutions' existence.

Alex Deagon, Queensland University of Technology, Australia This book argues for a theoretically robust Christian theology in a legal community dominated by secular and liberal ideology, where modern law has drifted from its theological origins. As a result of this, the legal system and the ideal of individual and communal relationship it envisages is characterised by antagonism and alienation, or more broadly, violence. The book contends that the way to restore a legal community of peace is to return to a Christian theology which is informed by Trinitarian thinking or the notion of unity in diversity, and reunites faith with reason.

What does it mean to be human and to be made in the image of God? What is a human being?

Theologians have always been interested in the key issues surrounding the nature of the person. Christian thinkers have always tried to answer anthropological questions: the body-soul relationship, gender, free will, the purpose of human life, and the relationship of the person to the rest of creation. This reader guides the students through this difficult topic and the seven chapters each represent an in-depth treatment of a sub-topic within theological anthropology.

The Christian Life

Predestination: A Guide for the Perplexed

Karl Barth The Christian Life offers a fascinating and provocative account of the Christian orientation toward ethical life from the perspective of divine reconciliation, setting forth a distinctive vision that sees prayers as the heart of a moral passion for the honour of God and the struggle for human righteousness. This is the work of one of the most influential Protestant theologian of the 20th century, and this Cornerstones edition includes a brand new introduction by Philip G. Ziegler, both examining and celebrating the message of tone of Barth's last and most suggestive writings.

God as Sacrificial Love

Pentecostal Theology

A Systematic Exploration of a Controversial Notion

Living the Full Gospel Wolfgang Vondey, University of Birmingham, UK Pentecostal Christianity has seen the largest growth in any denomination since the 20th century, yet it is hard to understand in terms of a single doctrine. Wolfgang Vondey suggest an account of Pentecostalism that allows for different adaptation and explication among the various Pentecostal groups, and argues that Pentecostal theology is fundamentally concerned with the renewal of the Christian life as revitalised through the Holy Spirit and directed toward the creation of the Kingdom of God.

Asle Eikrem, MF Norwegian School of Theology, Norway In dialogue with a range of post-enlightenment critiques of Christian theologies of sacrificial love, Eikrem presents a novel and controversial systematic approach to the multi-layered theological problem.

From Hegel to prominent 20th century theologians, from feminist theologies to post-modern philosophers, Eikrem engages in a critical conversation with a host of different voices, the result of which is a unique and controversial appraisal of the significance the life and death of Jesus holds for the world today. Eikrem suggests an original approach to this issue, where the possibility and the limits of sacrifice are both determined in the way the human being is constituted as a finite being.

Authentic Liturgical Renewal in Contemporary Perspective

The Theological and Ecological Vision of Laudato Si'

Edited by Uwe Michael Lang, Heythrop College, UK

Everything is Connected

The chapters in this volume consider the ongoing questions of how best to implement liturgical renewal in the church in the light of the Second Vatican Council and its key document on the liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium. The volume begins with a contribution from Robert Cardinal Sarah, prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship. Following on from this other leading figures such as Dom Alcuin Reid and Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone examine questions of the renewal of the liturgy in modern life. Taken together these chapters present another crucial step along the route of authentic liturgical renewal in the modern day.

T&T Clark Companion to Henri de Lubac Edited by Jordan Hillebert, Cardiff University, UK Henri de Lubac (1896 - 1991) played a prominent role during the Second Vatican Council and was appointed cardinal by Pope John Paul II in 1983. His work has left an indelible mark on modern Christian thought. This volume, including contributions from leading Catholic, Protestant and Anglican scholars of de Lubac's work, introduces readers to the key features of his theology. By placing de Lubac's writings in both their immediate context and in conversation with contemporary theological debates, these essays shed light on the theological ingenuity and continuing relevance of this important thinker.

Salvation in the World The Crossroads of Public Theology Edited by Stephan van Erp, KU Leuven, Belgium, Christiane Alpers, Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Germany & Christopher Cimorelli, Seton Hall University, USA What happens when Edward Schillebeeckx’s theology crosses paths with contemporary public theology? This volume examines the theological heritage that Schillebeeckx has left behind, and offers a critical examination of its relevance for contemporary theological scene. In tracing the way(s) in which Schillebeeckx observed and examined his own context’s increasing secularization and concomitant development toward atheism, the contributors to this volume indicate the potential directions for a contemporary public theology that pursues the path which Schillebeeckx has trodden.

Reading Christian Theology in the Protestant Tradition

Essential Trinitarianism

Edited by Kelly Kapic, Covenant College, USA & Hans Madueme, Covenant College, USA

Shelli M. Poe, Millsaps College, USA

Reading Christian Theology in the Protestant Tradition offers a distinctive approach to the value of classic works through the lens of Protestantism.

This book begins with the first Christian theologians, covering nearly 2000 years of theological writing from the Didache, Justin Martyr, and Origen to James Cone, José Míguez Bonino, and Sally McFague. Five major periods of church history are represented in 12 key works, each carefully explained and interpreted by an expert in the field.

Schleiermacher as Trinitarian Theologian Poe advances the thesis that Schleiermacher is an authentically and creatively Trinitarian thinker, and that this is demonstrated above all in The Christian Faith. Poe proceeds by reading The Christian Faith backwards, starting with his explicit treatment of the doctrine of the Trinity in its conclusion, then treating the divine attributes exposited throughout the work in reverse order, and finally exploring its introduction. This is a fresh interpretation of Schleiermacher’s masterwork, showing current estimations of his doctrinal contributions to Christian theology and expanding the constructive theological possibilities within contemporary Trinitarian thought.

Ecumenism: A Guide for the Perplexed

Theologies of Retrieval

R. David Nelson, Baker Academic and Brazos Press, USA & Charles Raith II, Baylor University, USA

Edited by Darren Sarisky, Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford, UK

An introduction to the methods, achievements, and future prospects of the modern ecumenical movement. The volume defines ecumenism, a term that has long been a source of confusion for students of theology and church history. A concise review of the chronology of the 1st century of the modern ecumenical movement is then offered, which highlights the major events, figures, accomplishments, and impasses.

This is followed by critical examinations of several significant challenges for contemporary ecumenical theology and practice. The conclusion is a commentary upon the difficulties and prospects that the ecumenical movement might anticipate as it enters this new millennium.

An Exploration and Appraisal

Theologies of retrieval — close readings of classic theological texts made with a view toward modern concerns — are one of the most significant trends in academic theology today, cutting across Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox points of view. This volume offers an understanding of what theologies of retrieval look like and how they operate, and examines their strengths and weaknesses. The contributors to this volume are all well established theologians, answering important questions raised by existing work in the field.

The Keys and the Kingdom

How the Church of England Lost the English People

The British and the Papacy from John Paul II to Francis

Andrew Brown, The Guardian, UK and Linda Woodhead, Lancaster University, UK

Catherine Pepinster, former editor of The Tablet

The Church of England still seemed an essential part of Englishness, and even of the British state, when Mrs Thatcher was elected. More recently, it has lost more than half its members and much of its influence. Yet the English still largely believe in God and most still call themselves Christians. So what went wrong, and how? This book, now updated with new material for the paperback edition, tells the story of the disappearance of the Church of England from the centre of public life. The authors show what happened and explain why.

Luther's Gospel Reimagining the World Graham Tomlin, St Mellitus College, UK Martin Luther was one of the most influential figures of the last millennium. His thinking and his writing were always original, fresh, controversial and provocative; evoking strong reactions then, and today.

The book combines scholarly insight into some of the key issues surrounding the study of Luther today, while being written in a style that makes it accessible to the non-specialist. An ideal handbook for those wishing to get inside the mind of this most remarkable man.

Tracing the relationship between the Catholic Church and the British Establishment, Catherine Pepinster tells a hitherto little understood story of faith, drama, enmity, occasional friendship and great misunderstanding. She charts the surprising influence of the Papacy in British politics, collaboration between Pope and politicians on key issues, the ‘stealth minority’ of Catholics occupying major public positions, and the relationship between the Papacy and the Crown. Featuring exclusive interviews with Cardinals Nichols and Murphy-O’Connor, Rowan Williams, Lord Patten and former British Ambassadors to both the Holy See and Italy, this account offers penetrating insights into this most fascinating of political relationships.

T&T Clark Companion to Atonement Edited by Adam J. Johnson, Torrey Honors Institute, Biola University, USA The T&T Clark Companion to Atonement establishes a vision for the doctrine of the atonement as a unified yet extraordinarily rich event calling for the church's full appropriation. The essays are divided into four main sections: 1) dogmatic location, 2) chapters on the Old and New Testaments, 3) major theologians and 4) contemporary developments. The book is comprised of 18 major essays, and an A-Z section containing shorter dictionary-length entries on a much broader range of topics. The result is a combination of in-depth analysis and breadth of scope, making this a benchmark work for further studies in the doctrine.

Ensign-George highlights particular developments in the history of the church that established preconditions for the emergence of denomination, yet observes how it has often been used as a vehicle for sin.

This volume represents a major contribution to the field of Sayers’ studies and argues that Sayers’ theology is most fully developed in and through her drama.

In addition it uses ecological hermeneutics to examine biblical texts related to war.

McNicol first critiques other biblical theologies. He then adopts a narrative reading of the Hebrew Scriptures to show the coherent theme of God’s promises to his people throughout.

These are then examined in the light of the New Testatment and the teachings of Jesus, with a close focus on the wider literary production of the New Testament.

A Biblical Theology of Women M. Sydney Park, Beeson Divinity School, USA M. Sydney Park explores exegetically and theologically the importance of women in Scripture within the framework of evangelical theology. Park uses the Pauline writings as her starting point, examining them within the context of the rest of the canon and together with key female figures in both the Old and New Testaments. Park shows that Paul's perspective on women cannot be given exclusive authority over nor excluded from productive dialogue with further canonical writings, showing that the biblical chronicle of women discloses a critical theological role, distinct from but not incoherent to their male counterparts in salvation history.

Ezra-Nehemiah: An Introduction and Study Guide

Ancient Israel: What Do We Know and How Do We Know It?

Israel's Quest for Identity

Revised Edition

Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer, University of Aberdeen, UK

Lester L. Grabbe, University of Hull, UK

Tiemeyer showcases and introduces the latest developments and most up-to-date scholarship on these important texts, which tell the story of the people in Yehud in the 6th and the 5th centuries BCE. This was a time of economic hardship. The people living in and around Jerusalem were scratching out a living in a land that had been devastated by war. Tiemeyer shows how a group which had lost its political autonomy and national identity set about finding new ways of understanding and shaping that identity.

In Ancient Israel Lester L. Grabbe sets out to summarize what we know through a survey of sources and how we know it by a discussion of methodology and by evaluating the evidence. The most basic question about the history of ancient Israel, how do we know what we know, leads to the fundamental questions of Grabbe’s work: what are the sources for the history of Israel and how do we evaluate them? How do we make them 'speak' to us through the fog of centuries?

Introducing the Women's Hebrew Bible Feminism, Gender Justice, and the Study of the Old Testament Susanne Scholz, Perkins School of Theology, USA In this second edition, Susanne Scholz offers new insights into the diverse field of feminist studies on the Hebrew Bible. Scholz provides a new introductory survey of the history of feminism more broadly, giving context to its rise in biblical studies, before looking at these issues as they relate specifically to feminist readings – and readers – of the Hebrew Bible. Biblical texts, characters, and themes are then examined in detail, with two further new chapters, one on masculinity and queer theory and the other on the Christian right's responses to feminist and gender approaches to the Bible.

It focuses on the theological content, gleaning from the best of the classical and modern commentary traditions, showing the doctrinal development of Scriptural truths.

Isaiah 6-12

Qoheleth's Eternal Earth

H.G.M. Williamson, University of Oxford, UK

Marie Turner, Flinders University of South Australia, Australia Marie Turner examines the writings of Qoheleth in the book of Ecclesiastes and provides an ecological reading of the text that gives readers clear insights into how biblical wisdom literature can be used to respond to the contemporary environmental challenges. Turner moves through the chapters of Ecclesiastes with an ear attuned to the voice of 'Earth' as it struggles to be heard against the voice of the economy. Eco-justice demands that the contemporary reader should be mindful of future generations and heed Qoheleth’s counsel to value the fruits of one’s labour without greed.

David's Capacity for Compassion A Literary-Hermeneutical Study of 1 - 2 Samuel Barbara Green, Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology, USA Barbara Green applies seven tools from contemporary literary and hermeneutical theory, to present and examine the development of David's character in the books of Samuel. Green demonstrates how the figure of David can be read as emerging from a young naive whose early successes grow into a tendency for actions of contempt, arrogance, blindness and even cruelty, particularly in matters of cult. Despite this, Green also shows that across the narrative of the books of Samuel David's character develops and he moves closer to the demeanor and actions of wise compassion, more closely aligned with God.

Chronicles and the Politics of Davidic Restoration

The Solomon Narratives in the Context of the Hebrew Bible

A Quiet Revolution

Told and Retold

David Janzen, Durham University, UK

Sean E. Cook, Mount Royal University, Canada

David Janzen argues that the Book of Chronicles is a document with a political message as well as a theological one and moreover, that the book’s politics explain its theology. Janzen sees the author of Chronicles as having been part of a 4th century B.C.E. group within the post-exilic Judean community that hoped to see the Davidides restored to power, and he or she composed this work to promote a restoration of this house to the position of a client monarchy within the Persian Empire.

Sedaqa and Torah in Postexilic Discourse

The Levite Singers in Chronicles and Their Stabilising Role

Edited by Susanne Gillmayr-Bucher, Catholic Private University Linz, Austria & Maria Häusl, University of Dresden, Germany

Ming Him Ko, Alliance Bible Seminary, Hong Kong

The chapters in this volume clarify crucial aspects of torah by exploring its relationship to sedaqa (righteousness). Observing the Torah is often considered to be the main identity-marker of Israel in the post-exilic period. However, sedaqa is also widely used as a force of group cohesion and as a resource for ethics without references to torah.

The contributors to this volume explore these crucial themes for the post-exilic period, and show how they are related in the key texts that feature them.

This study focuses on the Chronicler’s special interest in Levite singers. It takes into consideration the socio-ideological milieu of the Jerusalem temple community in the Persian period and the Mesopotamian elite professional norms and practices that nourished the singers and their music. It also explores the conception of the earthly temple as representative of its heavenly counterpart, and looks at the way in which this shaped the Chronicler’s theological frame of reference within which to understand the work of the Levite singers in Chronicles.

The Storied Ethics of the Thanksgiving Psalms

Feminist Frameworks and the Bible

Joshua T. James, John Leland Center for Theological Studies, USA

Power, Ambiguity, and Intersectionality

Using insights from narrative ethics James argues that story and storytelling function as important instruments in a given community’s ethical shaping. He applies this to the Psalter and tests the argument through a close reading of three thanksgivings — Psalms 116, 118, and 138. James shows how these psalms, and the stories they retell, invite the audience to tell their story when God answers their prayers, and to do so in public, in corporate worship, for the benefit of the community.

Sean E. Cook examines the value of having two versions of the same monarchic history of Israel within the Hebrew Bible (focusing on the books of Kings and Chronicles). Cook shows the great benefit of reading the books of Chronicles and Kings as autonomous and coherent (rather than taking a diachronic approach) by using the Solomon narratives as a case study. These narratives are first read individually, and then together, so as to ascertain their uniqueness vis-à-vis one another and to outline their purposes within their respective larger literary contexts.

Edited by L. Juliana Claassens, University of Stellenbosch, South Africa & Carolyn J. Sharp, Yale Divinity School, USA With contributors ranging across six different countries, including the USA, Germany, South Africa, Botswana, Nigeria and New Zealand, this volume presents incisive feminist and postcolonial interpretations of the Bible. All of the authors illustrate the academic frameworks they use to read the Old Testament. The conversation generated touches on the nature and significance of feminist biblical interpretation in our global context and includes reflections on the tropes of power, ambiguity and intersectionality.

Women and Exilic Identity in the Hebrew Bible

The Lost Seduction

Edited by Martien Halvorson-Taylor, University of Virginia, USA & Katherine E. Southwood, University of Oxford, UK

Caroline Blyth, University of Auckland, New Zealand Caroline Blyth guides readers through an in-depth exploration of Delilah’s afterlives as femme fatale in both biblical interpretation and popular culture, tracing the social and historical factors that may have inspired them.

Blyth considers alternative afterlives for Delilah’s character, using as inspiration both the Judges 16 narrative and a number of cultural texts which deconstruct traditional understandings of the femme fatale, thereby inviting readers to view this iconic biblical character in new and fascinating lights.

Notions of women as found in the Bible have had an incalculable impact on western cultures, influencing perspectives on marriage, kinship, legal practice, political status, and general attitudes. Women and Exilic Identity is drawn from three separate strands to address and analyse this phenomenon. The first examines how women were conceptualized and represented during the exilic period. The second focuses on methodological possibilities and drawbacks connected to investigating women and exile. The third reviews current prominent literature on the topic, with responses from authors.

The Characters of Elijah and Elisha and the Deuteronomic Evaluation of Prophecy Miracles and Manipulation Roy L. Heller, Southern Methodist University, USA An examination of the dual characterization of Elijah and Elisha, contrasting their miraculous signs and wonders with troubling stories such as Elijah running from Jezebel and Elisha cursing the children who make fun of him. Heller argues that this dual characterization reflects an ambivalent attitude that the narrator of Kings has toward prophecy, and that this attitude is in turn reflected in the book of Deuteronomy. This shows that Deuteronomy’s opinion of prophecy is that it must always be evaluated in light of the clear and straightforward teaching of Deuteronomy itself.

Theophanic "Type-Scenes" in the Pentateuch Nevada Levi DeLapp, Calvin Christian Reformed Church, Iowa DeLapp identifies three distinct theophanic “typescenes” in the final form of the Pentateuch, which fit with the particular theological forms of the books in which they appear. In Genesis, theophany is related to a crisis or threat to the Abrahamic promise. In Exodus YHWH’s fiery presence in a communal setting is linked to preserving Israel as a people in preparation for the Abrahamic inheritance. In Leviticus this is augmented with a liturgical setting where priestly action brings about theophanic response. DeLapp then shows how Numbers and Dueteronomy re-read and re-tell these “type-scenes” to ensure that they are read appropriately.

Inner Biblical Allusion in the Poetry of Wisdom and Psalms

The Subject and the Other

Edited by Mark J. Boda, McMaster Divinity College, Canada, Kevin Chau, University of the Free State, South Africa & Beth LaNeel Tanner, New Brunswick Theological Seminary, USA

Karalina Matskevich, Heythrop College, UK Karalina Matskevich examines the structures that map out the construction of gendered and national identities in Genesis 2–3 and 12–36. Using the tools of narratology, semiotics and psychoanalysis, Matskevich highlights the contradiction inherent in the project of dominance, through which the male Subject can only emerge as complex and in possession of knowledge with the help of woman, the transforming Other to whom the narrator (and Yahweh) attributes both the agency and the blame.

The contributors to this volume discuss not merely the theoretical aspects of the phenomenon of inner biblical allusion but rather provide practical examples of scholars working with specific texts within the wisdom and psalms corpora in order to showcase the function of this phenomenon within poetic texts. An introductory chapter orients the reader to the common vision for the essays and closing responses from senior scholars (David Clines and John Goldingay) provide a critical engagement and mature reflection on the contributions.

Narrative Desire and the Book of Ruth

Musical Illuminations of Genesis Tales

Stephanie Day Powell, Manhattan College, USA

Stephanie Day Powell illuminates the myriad forms of persuasion, inducement, discontent, and heartbreak experienced by readers of Ruth.

Writing from a lesbian perspective, Powell draws upon biblical scholarship, contemporary film and literature, narrative studies, feminist and queer theories, trauma studies and psychoanalytic theory to trace the workings of desire that produced the book of Ruth and shaped its history of reception.

Wrestling with the arguments for and against reading Ruth as a love story between women, Powell gleans new insights into the ancient world in which Ruth was written.

Helen Leneman examines the stories of Genesis in music, showing how musical settings can illuminate many well-known biblical tales. Leneman studies oratorios, operas, and songs (and their librettos) to shed light on how Genesis has been understood and experienced over time. Whilst the book covers Genesis as a whole, it does not purport to be a comprehensive coverage of all musical uses of Genesis, but rather to present several of the more surprising and interesting musical settings, chiefly from the 19th century.

What Did Jesus Look Like?

Joan E. Taylor, King's College London, UK Jesus Christ is the most famous man who ever lived.

His image adorns countless churches, icons, and paintings. He is the subject of millions of statues, sculptures, devotional objects and works of art.

Everyone can conjure an image of Jesus: usually as a handsome, white, man with flowing locks and pristine linen robes. But what did Jesus really look like? Leading Christian Origins scholar Joan E. Taylor surveys the historical evidence, and the prevalent image of Jesus in art and culture, to suggest an entirely different vision of this most famous of men.

Paul as Pastor Edited by Brian S. Rosner, Ridley College, Australia, Andrew S. Malone, Ridley College, Australia & Trevor J. Burke, Cambridge Theological Federation, UK This stimulating resource considers a hitherto neglected, but critical, dimension of Paul and his letters — the question of to what degree he behaved as and identified as a pastor. The contributors consider the household setting of Paul’s pastoral practice, the evidence of Acts and a survey of themes in each of the letters in the traditional Pauline corpus. Additionally, three chapters supply case studies of the Wirkungsgeschichte of Paul’s pastoral practice in the pastoral offices of the Anglican Communion in the denomination’s Ordinal, and in the lives and thought of Augustine of Hippo and George Whitfield.

Kirk considers current analytical approaches to the phenomenon of memory, including cultural memory, social memory, and memory in its cognitive, neurobiological aspects, cognitive science and associated philosophy and integrates these to assess how aspects of memory may be useful in Jesus studies.

Suffering in Ancient Worldview

Suffering in the Face of Death

Luke, Seneca and 4 Maccabees in Dialogue

The Epistle to the Hebrews and Its Context of Situation

Brian J. Tabb, Bethlehem College and Seminary, USA

Bryan R. Dyer, Calvin College, USA

Seneca, 4 Maccabees and Luke-Acts are united in this treatment of the theme and theology of Christian, Roman and Jewish views on suffering.

Tabb presents a close reading of representative texts from Seneca's essays and letters, Acts, and 4 Maccabees in order to highlight the respective authors' understanding of suffering, working through their perspectives on God, humanity, the world's problem and its solution, and the future. All three authors are shown to both expect and accept suffering as a present reality governed by God's sovereign purposes, however defined.

The language of suffering and death is used in the Epistle to the Hebrews as a means of creating models of endurance from which the original audience could learn to endure similar sufferings.

Dyer shows, through his linguistic analysis of the text, how the social scene of the Hebrews can be better understood through the language used.

Reading Revelation as Pastiche Imitating the Past Michelle Fletcher, University of Kent, UK Fletcher examines Revelation in the light of Old Testament texts and the methods traditionally used to examiner their relationship with Revelation, as well as the study of Greco-Roman literary methods of combination and imitation. She argues that Revelation should be seen as a combined and imitative text which actively engages its audience through signalling to multiple texts and multiple textual experiences: in short, it is an act of pastiche.

The Testimony of the Exalted Jesus The 'Testimony of Jesus' in the Book of Revelation Sarah Underwood Dixon, University of Cambridge, UK One of the most important, but often neglected, issues in the interpretation of the phrase 'the testimony of Jesus' in the Book of Revelation has been whether the phrase can be read consistently across each instance of its occurrence. Dixon explores the use of this phrase and shows that 'the testimony of Jesus' is not just another title for John's writing, but is something that is given to and even characterizes those who hear the message of the Apocalypse.

Use of the Third Person for SelfReference by Jesus and Yahweh

Muted Voices of the New Testament

A Study of Illeism in the Bible and Ancient Near Eastern Texts and Its Implications for Christology

Readings in the Catholic Epistles and Hebrews

Rod Elledge, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, USA An examination of the use of the third-person and self-reference (known as "illeism") by Jesus and Yahweh in the Bible. Elledge surveys the Ancient Near Eastern and Old Testament material, as well as the New Testament material, and assesses the significance of this language, concluding that it reflects both royal and divine themes.

This provides a foundation for assessing how this illeism impacts upon Christology.

The Vermes Quest The Significance of Geza Vermes for Jesus Research Hilde Brekke Moller, MF Norwegian School of Theology, Norway Geza Vermes is a household name within the study of the historical Jesus, and his work is associated with a significant change within mainstream Jesus research, typically labelled 'the third quest'. Hilde Brekke Moller investigates what exactly Vermes said, and how this has been responded to and interacted with by historical Jesus scholars in order to ascertain the true impact of Vermes's Jesus research.

Pierce, Tyndale University College, Canada & Francis Watson, University of Durham, UK Christian identity has been predominantly informed by Pauline and Gospel-centred readings. In order to broaden the established, normative understanding, other less-frequently studied texts are scrutinised here, using the questions 'what do these texts uniquely contribute to Christian identity?', 'how does the author frame or shape identity?' and 'what are the potential results of the identities constructed in these texts for early Christian communities?'.

Contributors include Richard Bauckham, David G. Horrell, Francis Watson and Robert W. Wall.

Mark 15:39 as a Markan Theology of Revelation

Cornelis Bennema, Union School of Theology, UK

The Centurion's Confession as Apocalyptic Unveiling

An investigation of mimesis in the Johannine literature, working from the starting point that the mimesis within God (Son-Father) is a paradigm for the mimesis between Jesus and the disciples.

Bennema examines this with reference to the implied family mimesis in John 8, and the disciples-Jesus mimesis in the footwashing in John 13. From this Bennema goes on to argue for the centrality of mimesis in Johannine ethics and theology, considers questions of how mimetic empowerment occurs in relationship with Jesus under the direction of the Spirit, and examines how John's concept of mimesis arises within John's broader cultural milieu.

Composite Citations in Antiquity

Brian K. Gamel, Baylor University, USA Jesus' arrest, trial and execution ends with the Roman centurion who oversees the death process proclaiming Jesus as God's son. This surprising exclamation occurs moments after Jesus has been put to death amidst a crowd of mockery. Gamel explores two key questions in relation to this moment: what does the centurion mean when he says that Jesus is God's son, and why does he say it? Gamel argues that the offer of sight to the centurion demonstrates the reconciliation of God and humanity which are otherwise in Mark's Gospel repeatedly presented as antagonistic spheres.

Holy Terror: Jesus in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas

J.R.C. Cousland, University of British Columbia, Canada

This is the second of two volumes that investigate the phenomenon of composite citations. The following topics are covered: (1) the question of whether the quoting author created the composite text or found it already constructed as such; (2) the question of the rhetorical and/or literary impact of the quotation in its present textual location, and (3) the question of whether the intended audiences would have recognized and ‘reverse engineered’ the composite citation in question and as a result engaged with the original context of each of the component parts.

Texts and Artefacts Collected Essays on Early Christian Manuscripts Larry W. Hurtado, University of Edinburgh, UK The essays included in this volume present Larry W. Hurtado’s steadfast analysis of the earliest Christian manuscripts. In these chapters Hurtado considers not only standard text-critical issues which seek to uncover an earliest possible version of a text, but also the manuscripts available to us themselves. Hurtado examines often overlooked 2nd and 3rd century artefacts, which are among the earliest manuscripts available, drawing fascinating conclusions about the features of early Christianity.

The Infancy Gospel of Thomas is one of the most unusual gospels in the Christian tradition, in which Jesus is presented as a holy terror who kills and wounds adults for trifling faults. Cousland addresses why Jesus is portrayed in this way, placing this characterization in the context of the literary framework of the Gospel of Thomas and the larger setting of the Greco-Roman world.

Jude on the Attack

Let the Reader Understand

A Comparative Analysis of the Epistle of Jude, Jewish Judgment Oracles, and Greco-Roman Invective

Essays in Honor of Elizabeth Struthers Malbon

Alexandra Robinson, Macquarie University, Australia A detailed survey of Greco-Roman invectives and Jewish judgment oracles, comparing and contrasting them to the epistle of Jude. Robinson examines the structure, aims, themes, and style of these texts and in the end concludes that Jude is a ‘Jewish invective.’ The epistle is a polemical text which takes the form (structure, aims, and style) of a typical Greco-Roman invective but is filled with Jewish content (themes and allusions), drawing on Israel’s heritage for the benefit of his primarily Jewish-Christian audience.

This volume in honor of Elizabeth Struthers Malbon introduces readers to the breadth of her work on the gospel of Mark. In the opening chapter, Werner Kelber places Malbon’s work within the larger context of critical reflection, from antiquity to the modern era, on the role and function of discourse. Kelber locates her approach squarely within the framework of modernity and concludes that "Malbon's supremely creative achievement has been the employment of modern, narrative critical tools with a view toward uncovering the fecundity of the Gospel of Mark."

Christ, Shepherd of the Nations The Nations as Narrative Character and Audience in John's Apocalypse Jon Morales, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, USA A fresh examination of the question of the nations in Revelation, carried out through employing narrative categories and asking four research questions: what is John’s story of the nations? How does he tell it?

What is John’s message to the nations? What is John’s message to the church concerning the nations? Underpinning this analysis is the principle that character cannot be understood as an abstraction but must be rather discovered sequentially in the development of an entire narrative.This leads Morales to conclude that John's purpose concerning the nations is to show that they belong to God and to his Christ.

Reconstructing the Historical Background of Paul’s Rhetoric in the Letter to the Colossians Adam Copenhaver, Ezra Bible Institute, USA Copenhaver approaches the debate surrounding the opponents in Colossians from a methodological standpoint and contends that Paul was not actually confronting active opponents when he wrote the letter. Copenhaver views the letter as having been written by Paul to the churches in the Lycus Valley in a desire to develop their identity as a new people in Christ and to appeal to them to live a new kind of life in Christ. His warnings in Colossians 2 function as oppositional rhetoric contrasting the religious practices of the Lycus Valley with this new life in Christ.

The Price of Partnership in the Letter of Paul to the Philippians "Make My Joy Complete" Mark A. Jennings, Gordon-Conwell Seminary, USA An examination of the purpose of Philippians showing that Paul wrote the letter with the sole intent of persuading the church to maintain its exclusive partnership with him and his gospel mission. In his discussion Jennings examines each section of the letter closely using standard historical-critical methods and with specific attention to koinonia, the issue of 'rival' missions and Paul's affirmations of superiority, and Paul's comments about finance.

Ultimately Jennings shows that in the letter Paul is urging the church at Philippi to be steadfast not just to the gospel of Christ, but to his gospel of Christ.

The Ritual World of Paul the Apostle Metaphysics, Community and Symbol in 1 Corinthians 11. 17-34 Michael Lakey, Ripon College Cuddesdon, Oxford, UK Lakey explores the theological significance of the rituals of Baptism and the Lord's Supper in Pauline theology, with particular reference to 1 Corinthians 11:17ff. Lakey builds upon the insights of Clifford Geertz, by showing how for Paul Baptism and the Lord's Supper facilitated specific connections between his metaphysics on the one hand, and the form or pattern of life he enjoins upon his churches on the other. Lakey considers what Paul's underlying beliefs regarding these ritual events may have been, thereby setting the scene for a preliminary discussion of specific lines of post-interpretation in the early patristic period.

Certain light has been shone by reflecting on how Jesus was originally perceived by his contemporaries and in the earliest Christian writings. This collection of essays reflects on this question and adds to the discussion by providing a number of different approaches, including methodological, archaeological, relational, intertextual, and reception-historical.

The Parables in Q

The Bible on Television

Dieter T. Roth, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany

Edited by Helen K. Bond, University of Edinburgh, UK & Edward Adams, King's College London, UK

Roth uses the latest research in parables scholarship and a novel, intertextual approach to studying Q to provide the first monograph-length treatment of the 27 Q parables. Roth considers Q not as a text behind Matthew and Luke that needs to be reconstructed but rather as an intertext between Matthew and Luke that offered plots, characters, and images in parables that were taken up by Matthew and Luke and utilized in their own respective texts.

Six-Volume Set This set contains six facsimiles from our imprints T&T Clark, The Athlone Press, Sheffield Academic Press and Continuum and focuses on comparing the Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

The volumes in this collection compare the different religions based on their prophets, their teachings and cultural influence, but also in how they face the challenge of an increasingly secular world. They are concerned with the similarities between the religions they discuss rather than their differences, hence supporting the view that religions should not be pitted against each other but instead be understood as faiths favouring understanding and togetherness. All titles are available as a set or as individual volumes.

The Philosophy of Knowledge: A History Four-Volume Set Edited by Stephen Hetherington, University of New South Wales, Australia The first in-depth survey of the history of knowledge in Western philosophy.

The Philosophy of Knowledge: A History presents the history of one of Western philosophy’s greatest challenges: understanding the nature of knowledge. Divided chronologically into four volumes, it follows conceptions of knowledge that have been proposed, defended, replaced, and proposed anew by ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary philosophers. Each volume centres around three key questions: what conceptions of knowledge have been offered? Which have shaped epistemology in particular and philosophy in general? How is knowledge conceived by philosophers now? Overseen by an international team of leading philosophers and featuring 50 speciallycommissioned chapters, this is a major collection on one of philosophy’s defining topics.
