Theology, Science and Life

Carmody Grey, Durham University, UK

Offering a bold intervention in the ongoing debate about the relationship between ‘theology’ and ‘science’, Theology, Science and Life proposes that the strong demarcation between the two spheres is unsustainable; theology occurs within and not outside what we call ‘science’, and ‘science’ occurs within and not outside theology. It is the first major English-language reception and application of the thought of philosopher Hans Jonas in theology, and it makes a decisive contribution to the unfolding reception of ‘Radical Orthodoxy’, one of the most influential schools in contemporary Anglophone theology

Apostolos-Cappadona shows how Mary Magdalene has been seen across time in different roles: a witness, a sinner, a penitent, a contemplative, a preacher and a patroness But above all these roles Mary has emerged as a powerful feminist icon with a visual history as rich and varied as the roles she has fulfilled in numerous contexts for two millennia

The Animalising Affliction of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4

Reading Across the Human-Animal Boundary

Peter Joshua Atkins, University of Chester, UK

A detailed investigation into the nature of Nebuchadnezzar's animalising affliction in Daniel 4 and the degree to which he is depicted as actually becoming an animal Atkins demonstrates that when Daniel 4 is read in the context of Mesopotamian texts, the affliction represents a far more significant categorical change from human to animal than has hitherto been identified. These texts conceive of the human animal boundary as being indicated primarily in relation to possession or lack of the divine characteristic of wisdom, and this illuminates Atkins' understanding of Daniel 4

Body, Gender and Purity in Leviticus 12 and 15

Dorothea Erbele-Küster, Johannes-GutenbergUniversitaet Mainz, Germany

The so-called purity laws in Leviticus 11-15 reflect a cultic and social view of the body These texts do not give detailed physiological descriptions

Instead, they prescribe what to do in the cases of skin disease, delivery and wo/man's genital discharges But how do these texts construct the male and female body? Which roles does gender play within this language? Through themes such as menstruation and circumcision, the author unfolds the language used for the body in Leviticus and its interpretation history The study provides material for a contemporary anthropology of bodies which relates the human sexed body to God's holiness

The Roots and Afterlife of One Biblical Allusion

Charts the development of the Promised Land motif, starting from its biblical roots and examining its reception over the centuries until the present day Koci uses as her cornertone Hans-Georg Gadamer's claim that there are two complementary paths towards understanding and knowledge: science and art Thus, to be faithful to the creed of the great hermeneutist, Koci ventures into both topics, arguing that while science sets out historical-critical analysis of the Promised Land motif in the Hebrew Bible and its later receptions, art enriches the interpretation with its literary illustrations

Markan Typology

Miracle, Scripture and Christology in Mark 4:35–6:45

Jonathan Rivett Robinson, University of Otago, New Zealand

Responding to the belief that typology was a later development of the early Church, and not applicable to the earliest canonical Gospel, Jonathan Robinson stresses that typology has deep Jewish roots, and that typological modes of thought were a significant part of the Gospel’s historical and cultural background He brings this insight to bear on four of the most dramatic miracles in Mark’s Gospel, discovering a surprisingly consistent typological approach

The Dividing Wall

Ephesians and the Integrity of the Corpus Paulinum

Closely examines John’s portrayal of women in relation to discipleship and the theme of new creation, arguing that these depictions are influenced by his apocalyptic world-view. By employing historical and literary methods of biblical interpretation to analyse John’s presentation of women and gender, Miller explores the extent to which John gives any indications of the female role in both John’s community and the beginnings of the Christian faith

Martin Wright, Independant Scholar, UK

This book argues for the integrity of the Pauline Corpus as a complex, composite text Martin Wright critiques the prevailing tendency to divide the Corpus in two, separating the undoubtedly authentic letters from those of disputed authorship Instead he advocates for a renewed canonical hermeneutic in which the Corpus as a whole communicates Paul’s legacy, and the authorship of individual letters is less important

1 Peter A Critical and Exegetical Commentary

David G. Horrell, University of Exeter, UK & Travis B. Williams, Tusculum University, USA

This volume offers an accessible introduction to 1 Peter aimed at undergraduate-level students It provides information on the likely historical and social setting of this letter, on its literary form and theological content, and on issues involved in its interpretation

Whilst examining how the letter reflects and constructs early Christian identity, Horrell also explores its relationships with Judaism and the Roman Empire Despite remaining neglected in comparison with the canonical gospels and the major Pauline letters, Horrell argues that the letter deserves more attention for the pivotal contribution it makes to the development of early Christianity

The Reception of Jewish Tradition in the Social Imagination of the Early Christians

Edited by John M.G. Barclay, University of Durham & Kylie Crabbe, Australian Catholic University, Australia

Examines the reception of Jewish traditions in early Christianity, and how the meaning of these traditions changed when they were recruited into new contexts and for new social ends The contributors emphasise the internal variety and malleability of these traditions, which underwent continual processes of change within Judaism, by challenging static notions of tradition and passive ideas of ‘reception’, and reassessing standard narratives of ‘the parting of the ways’ between ‘Christianity’ and ‘Judaism’
