Christian Solar Symbolism and Jesus the Sun of Justice

Kevin Duffy, The Church of Notre Dame de France, UK

Kevin Duffy suggests that we rebalance a spiritual symbolism that has over-emphasised darkness and cloud at the expense of light and sun He proposes a creative retrieval of the traditional title of Christ as the Sun of Justice This book blends the personal, the social and the cosmic-ecological, speaking powerfully to a secularising era that contemporaries Friedrich Nietzsche and Thérèse of Lisieux both described as one where 'the sun does not shine'

Concentrated Creation Creation and Salvation in the Christology of Edward Schillebeeckx

Rhona Lewis, Rhona Lewis, Independent Scholar, UK

In this analysis of the Thomist and Irenaean sources of Edward Schillebeeckx’s creation faith, God’s absolute saving presence to humanity is found to be intrinsic to his creative action This becomes most explicit in God’s humanity in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ Lewis argues that Jesus is both God’s invitation to humanity and is himself the perfect human response to God Because of this, Jesus' followers are called to be engaged in God’s saving action, by working to remove suffering from people and to build a better world in which all may flourish.

In Solidarity with the Earth A Multi-Disciplinary Theological Engagement with Gender, Mining and Toxic Contamination

Edited by Hilda P. Koster, University of St Michael's College, University of Toronto, Canada & Celia Deane-Drummond, Campion Hall, University of Oxford, UK

Engages an international consortium of theologians, sociologists, and environmental scientists on the effects of resource extraction and pollution on women’s lives, in particular the lives of poor, minoritized and Indigenous women Based on case studies, the book creates a multidisciplinary conversation on the gendered vulnerabilities resulting from extractive industries and toxic pollution, and also charts the resilience and courage of women as they resist polluting industries, fight for clean water and seek to protect the land. While ecumenical in scope, the book takes its departure from the concept of integral ecology introduced in Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’

Climate Change and the Symbol Deficit in the Christian Tradition

Expanding Gendered Sources

Jan-Olav Henriksen, MF Norwegian School of Theology, Norway

Henriksen examines the potential of the Christian tradition to develop symbols that can engage peoples in committed and sustained action to prevent further climate crisis To do so, he argues that we need to develop symbols that engage both intellectually and emotionally, and which enhance our perception of belonging in relationships with other humans, both in the present and in the future

T&T Clark Handbook of Suffering and the Problem of Evil

Edited by Matthias Grebe & Johannes Grössl, Siegen University, Germany

The T&T Clark Handbook of Suffering and the Problem of Evil provides an extensive exploration of the theology of theodicy, asking questions such as should all instances of suffering necessarily be understood as evil? Why would an omnipotent and benevolent God allow or perpetrate evil? Is God unable or unwilling to reduce human and non-human suffering on Earth? Does humanity have the capacity to exercise a moral evaluation of God’s motives and intentions?

On Femininities in the Song of Songs and Beyond

“The Most Beautiful Woman”

Vita Daphna Arbel, University of British Columbia, Canada

Introduces new perspectives to gender and feminist studies of the Song of Songs, offering an alternative reading of the multilayered conceptualization of its feminine protagonist, “the most beautiful woman” Vita Daphna Arbel situates this representation within the cultural-discursive contexts in which the Song partly emerged, and considers the manner in which it disrupts rigid, ahistorical notions of femininity Finally, Arbel examines the reception and impact of these ideas on later conceptualizations of the Song of Songs' female protagonist with an heuristic examination of Mark Chagall’s Song of Songs painting cycle, Le Cantique des Cantiques

Natalie Mylonas, Macquarie University, Australia

Creating Gender in the Garden

The Inconstant Partnership of Eve and Adam

Barbara Deutschmann, University of Divinity, Australia

What can explain the persistence of gender inequality throughout history? Do narratives such as the Eden story explain that dissymmetry or contribute to it? This book suggests that the Hebrew Bible began and has sustained a rich conversation about sex and gender throughout its life A literary study of the Eden story reveals a focus on the human partnership as integral to the divine creation project Understanding the different ways that Adam and Eve have been conceived gives us perspective on our own 21st century gender architecture

He shows the ongoing significance of the Essenes after the war in Jerusalem in 70 CE, and their influence on Christianity and later Judaism

Purity in the Gospel of John

Early Jewish Tradition, Christology, and Ethics

Wil Rogan, Carey Theological College,

Canada

Wil Rogan argues that, contrary to 20th century interpretation, the Fourth Gospel did not replace purity with faith in Jesus; instead, like other early Jewish writings, it employs conceptions and practices of purification as a way to make sense of life before God in the world He suggests that the gospel uses biblical traditions of purity associated with divine revelation and Israel’s restoration, in order to narrate how God’s people are prepared for the coming of Jesus and enabled by him to have life with God

The Cosmic Journey in the Book of Revelation

Apocalyptic Cosmology and the Experience of Story-Space

Joel M. Rothman, University of Divinity, Australia

Joel Rothman considers the significance of cosmology in biblical and extra-biblical texts, and the role of the cosmic journey in many apocalyptic narratives He posits that Revelation’s narrative likewise takes the hearer on a virtual cosmic journey, through a cosmic story-space of great theological significance. While scholarship commonly assumes a three-tiered cosmos in Revelation, Rothman argues that Revelation’s narrative operates in a four-tiered cosmos, with the hyper-heaven sitting above the sky-heaven, earth, and abyssal depths; a cosmic story-space that is recreated in the imagination of the hearers

The Ties that Bind

Negotiating Relationships in Early Jewish and Christian Texts

Edited by Esther Kobel, Johannes GutenbergUniversität Mainz, Germany, Meredith Warren, University of Sheffield, UK & Jo-Ann A. Brant, Goshen College, USA

Friendship and other intimate (but not always amicable) relationships have received some attention in the greater field of research on early Judaism and Christianity, though not as much as deserved This volume celebrates and builds upon the life-long work of Adele Reinhartz, covering the various permutations of relationships that can be found in the Gospel of John, the wider corpus of early Jewish and Christian literature, and cinematic reimaginings thereof

Writing With Scripture

Scripturalized Narrative in the Gospel of Mark

Nathanael Vette, University of Edinburgh, UK

Nathanael Vette proposes that the Gospel of Mark, like other narrative works in the Second Temple period, uses the Jewish scriptures as a model to compose episodes and tell a new story Vette compares Mark’s use of scripture with contemporary works like Pseudo-Philo, the Genesis Apocryphon, 1 Maccabees, Judith, and the Testament of Abraham; diverse texts which, combined, support the existence of shared compositional techniques

Irenaeus, the Scriptures, and the Apostolic Writings

Reevaluating the Status of the New Testament Writings at the End of the Second Century

Kenneth Laing, Trinity Western University, Canada

Kenneth Laing challenges the concept of Irenaeus as primary witness to the period of time in which the New Testament achieved scriptural status, calling into question some of the most basic conclusions and assumptions of New Testament canon formation scholarship Laing proposes a new interpretation of Irenaeus’ understanding of the nature and basis of authority of the New Testament writings, based on his Christocentric theology of revelation

Matthew’s Account of the Massacre of the Innocents in Light of its Reception History

Sung J. Cho, The Institute of Biblical Culture, USA

Sung Cho addresses the seeming contradiction of Herod the Great’s massacre in Matthew 2:16-18, questioning why such a tragedy had to occur, why it was included in the good news of Jesus, and what connection it has to ancient prophecies In creating a reception history of the Massacre of the Innocents, Cho progresses through two millennia worth of interpretation and depiction to highlight key works for discussion
