Book SynopsisIt's interesting to note that the original Greek word used here has a very strong sense of waterfowl flying backwards. So, what the writer is saying is that they went down like reversing ducks, and so, of course should we ' from Adrian Plass's popular spoof of an Anglican sermonReaders who seek a weighty theological treatise on the life of Christ will not find it in these pages. With a deft touch and down-to-earth humour, Adrian Plass offers a heartfelt response to the life and ministry of Jesus as presented in the Gospel of Mark.I have had a passion for Jesus for many years,' says Plass. In Jesus we meet a dynamic, hardworking, passionate member of the human race, a man, but a man who was also God. Stronger than all the powers of nature, he was nevertheless willing to become a servant so that people like you and I can be rescued from the worst of disasters.'Plass brings his own unique perspective to this meditation on Mark, which has been broken into ninety sections that can be read i

Oxford University Press, USA The Names of God
Book SynopsisIn The Names of God, as in his previous study, Toward a Grammar of Biblical Poetics (OUP, 1992), Herbert Brichto continues to argue against the atomistic readings of the Hebrew Bible by the currently dominant schools of Biblical scholarship. He maintains, that despite the repetitions and self contradictions found in the Five Books of Moses, the Pentateuch possesses an aesthetic and ideological wholeness. Its harmonious blend of stories and structures inform one another as they give shape and meaning to the relationship and expectations between a benevolent God and recalcitrant humankind. In particular, Bichto focuses his poetic reading on the Book of Genesis. He uses the methods of contemporary literary criticism to examine one of the greatest inconsistencies within Genesis, the alternating use of Yahweh (the Lord) and Elohim (God) as names for the Deity. Often cited as the proof of multiple authorship, Brichto shows, instead, that this inconsistency serves as a device for a single auTrade Review"Like Brichto's other writings, this work is masterfully written with language that is unusually rich and daring."--Robert J.

Oxford University Press, USA The Book of Revelation
Book SynopsisAbout seventy years after the death of Jesus, John of Patmos sent visionary messages to Christians in seven cities of western Asia Minor. These messages would eventually become part of the New Testament canon, as The Book of Revelation. What was John''s message? What was its literary form? Did he write to a persecuted minority or to Christians enjoying the social and material benefits of the Roman Empire? In search of answers to these penetrating questions, Thompson critically examines the language, literature, history, and social setting of the Book of the Apocalypse. Following a discussion of the importance of the genre apocalypse, he closely analyses the form and structure of the Revelation, its narrative and metaphoric unity, the world created through John''s visions, and the social conditions of the empire in which John wrote. He offers an unprecedented interpretation of the role of boundaries in Revelation, a reassessment of the reign of the Emperor Domitian, and a view of tribulTrade Review"Rich and complex....A genuine contribution to social historical studies of apocalypticism."--Journal of Religion"While he writes for specialists, he does so clearly and engagingly, taking care to define his terms in order to bring non-specialists on board."--Anglican Theological Review"Contains much useful material and should be read by all persons making a serious study of the book of Revelation."--Seminary Studies"Ancient historians and other New Testament students will appreciate the scholarly solidity of this monograph and a wider readership may be excited by its fresh style and a stimulating tour of themes like the Roman Empire under Domitian, the Jews in Asia Minor, and the nature of religion in relation to society."--Theological Book Review"A groundbreaking monograph....If Thompson's thesis is accepted among scholars, it will revolutionize the academic study of apocalyptic literature....A major piece of scholarly work."--Choice

Oxford University Press The Gospel According to John
Book SynopsisWhile synthesizing well-established commentators as diverse as Bultmann and Brown, Brodie expands Johannine studies in two directions. First, by drawing on the techniques of contemporary literary studies, he shows that John''s Gospel, far from being poorly edited, is a carefully-wrought unity. Second, he shows that the final basis of this unity lies not in history or theology but, as ancient tradition suggested, in spirituality. Brodie also includes his own innovative translation of John. The result is a new type of commentary that is thoroughly contemporary in style, perspective, and method.Trade ReviewThis book marks an important development in the interpretation of the Fourth Gospel, for it appears to be the first full-scale commentary on John in English to adopt a sustained literary approach ... The result is a brilliant and perceptive account of John's material, full of rich insights for the enquiring reader, and must be warmly welcomed. * Journal of Theological Studies *

Oxford University Press Saint Saul
Book SynopsisIn Saint Saul, Donald Harman Akenson offers a lively and provocative account of what we can learn about Jesus by reading the letters of Paul. As the only direct evidence of Jesus we have that were composed before the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE forever altered the outlook of the Christian and Jewish faiths, Akenson claims that these letters are the most reliable source of information. He dismisses the traditional method of searching for facts about Jesus by looking for parallels among the four gospels because they were handed down to us as a unit by a later generation. Akenson painstakingly recreates the world of Christ, a time rich with ideas, prophets, factions, priests, savants, and god-drunk fanatics. He insistently stresses throughout the Jewishness of Jesus, referring to Jesus and Paul as Yeshua and Saul, as they were then known. Saul, although he did not know Yeshua personally, knew his most important followers, and wrote immediately after Yeshua''s death. Saul''s Trade ReviewFrom his double-take title through more than 300 zestful pages, Donald Akenson startles us with one fresh insight after another...Saint Saul is an engaging book for anyone willing to take on the current challenges in the quest for Jesus. * Christian Science Monitor *Saint Saul is a splendid book. In touch with the latest scholarship, elegantly written, original, and highly persuasive. The whole area of the early relations between Christianity and Judaism--i.e. in the first 3 or 4 centuries--is now in a state of complete turmoil and reconceptualization. It now seems clear that the borders between what we now think of as two religions were very blurred at that time, and that orthodox rabbinic Judaism was not at all the normative Judaism at the time of Jesus and thereafter. In all these cross-currents, this book by Akenson is a clearly presented argument that will surely advance and clarify the conversation. * Harvey Cox, Victor S. Thomas Professor of Divinity, Harvard University and Author of The Secular City and Fire From Heaven *Akenson is able to penetrate to the heart of things in a manner that one can only envy. He writes vigorous and arresting prose, and is not afraid to go into the corners and mix it up. * Terence L. Donaldson, Lord and Lady Coogan Professor of New Testament Studies, University of Toronto and Author of Paul and the Gentiles *Saint Saul is resoundingly fresh in its current contributions to literature and, once again, Akenson has written of thorny and difficult questions with rollicking good humour and grace that reaches the depths of seriousness without false solemnity. Saint Saul is a splendid book. * T.F. Rigelhof *

Oxford University Press Imperial Cults and the Apocalypse of John
Book SynopsisAfter more than a century of debate about the significance of imperial cults for the interpretation of Revelation, this is the first study to examine both the archaeological evidence and the Biblical text in depth. Friesen argues that a detailed analysis of imperial cults as they were practiced in the first century CE in the region where John was active allows us to understand John''s criticism of his society''s dominant values. He demonstrates the importance of imperial cults for society at the time when Revelation was written, and shows the ways in which John refuted imperial cosmology through his use of vision, myth, and eschatological expectation.Trade Review"This book will benefit students of early Christianity as well as students of Greco-Roman history. Certainly anyone seriously interested in the study of Revelation should not pass it by."--The Journal of Religion

Seen in an anthropological perspective Leviticus has a mystical structure which plots the book into three parts corresponding to the three parts of the desert tabernacle, which in turn corresponds to the parts of Mount Sinai. This completely new reading transforms the interpretation of the purity laws. The pig and other forbidden animals are not abhorrent, they command the same respect due to all God''s creatures. Boldly challenging several traditions of Bible criticism, Mary Douglas claims that Leviticus is not the narrow doctrine of a crabbed professional priesthood but a powerful intellectual statement about a religion which emphasizes God''s justice and compassion.Trade Reviewthe great anthropologist Mary Douglas's surprising rereading of a very old text,Leviticus as Literature makes a discarded classic zing with new life. * Valentine Cunningham, The Independent, 2000 *

Oxford University Press The Commentaries of Origen and Jerome on St. Pauls Epistle to the Ephesians
Book SynopsisThis important study provides the first English translation of both the surviving fragments of Origen''s Commentary on Ephesians and of the complete text of Jerome''s Commentary on Ephesians. The two translations are placed parallel to one another where they treat the same texts in Ephesians thus showing Jerome''s extensive dependence on Origen''s commentary. By using collateral texts from other works of Origen, Jerome, and Rufinus, the author is able to show Jerome''s dependence on Origen in numerous passages in his commentary where the Greek text of Origen''s commentary is lost. The translation is accompanied by Heine''s illuminating commentary and a substantial introduction sets the works in their historical context. The book makes a significant contribution not only to scholarship on Origen and Jerome, but also to the wider question of the interpretation of scripture in the early Christian centuries.Trade Review... intriguing and learned. * The Journal of Theological Studies *... lucid and accurate translation ...

Oxford University Press The Book Called Isaiah
Book SynopsisRecent research on the book of Isaiah has been dominated by discussions of its unity and authorship. Professor Williamson''s important study provides a major and highly original contribution to these key issues, and is based upon a more rigorous methodology than ever used before. Isaiah is usually regarded as the work of two authors - the so-called Isaiah of Jerusalem (Isaiah 1-39) and Deutero-Isaiah (the author of Isaiah 40-55). Professor Williamson argues that the author of Isaiah 40-55 was in fact strongly influenced by the work of the earlier writer. Secondly, he demonstrates that the earlier work was regarded as a book which had been sealed up until the time when judgement was past and the day of salvation had arrived, and that Deutero-Isaiah believed himself to be heralding the arrival of that day. Thirdly, and most provocatively, Professor Williamson argues that Deutero-Isaiah both included and edited a version of the earlier prophecies along with his own, intending from the staTrade ReviewReview from previous edition In this carefully argued monograph Williamson presents a fascinating theory and comes to daring conclusions ... He proceeds by a careful analysis of relevant texts and by detailed attention to the work of his scholarly predecessors to produce a work that is clear, convincing and challenging. It marks an important contribution to work on the book of Isaiah ... This is the kind of study that keeps one gripped by the argument and fascinated to see in which direction the author will move next; a rare treat in modern biblical studies. * Reviews in Religion and Theology *Very positive and forward-looking study ... there is a very clear statement of the problems here, a well argued and fair assessment of the methods and resources with which they need to be dealt with, and a positive attempt to mark out some useful steps forward. It will perform a great service if it draws fresh attention to the undoubted fact the the basic structure of the book of Isaiah poses many still unresolved questions. * Journal of Theological Studies *This monograph is a major contribution to the study of the composition of the Book of Isaiah, and will necessitate a reorientation of critical perspectives whether its thesis is accepted or rejected. It is written in a lucid and elegant style, and the necessary discussion of text-critical problems in a number of passages is conveniently relegated to an appendix. The scholarly world is deeply indebted to Williamson for such a stimulating contribution to an important debate. * A. Gelston, Journal of Semitic Studies *Williamson's economical hypothesis has the strength of its simplicity ...

Oxford University Press Augustines Commentary on Galatians
Book SynopsisNow available in English for the first time, Augustine''s Commentary on Galatians is his only complete, formal commentary on any book of the Bible and offers unique insights into his understanding of Paul and of his own task as a biblical interpreter. Yet it is one of his least known works today - and this despite its importance in the past for such major figures as Aquinas, Luther, Erasmus, and Newman. The present volume seeks to remedy this situation by providing not only an English translation with facing Latin text, but also a comprehensive introduction and copious notes. Since Galatians happens to be the only biblical book commented upon by all the ancient Latin commentators - including Jerome, Pelagius, Ambrosiaster, and Marius Victorinus, as well as Augustine - it provides a basis for comparing them and for identifying Augustine''s special concerns and emphases. Augustine''s Commentary also has crucial links to other works he wrote at the time, especially his monastic rule and DTrade ReviewThis first translation of Augustine's only complete biblical commentary into Enlgish is of great value, as much for those concerned with the intersection of biblical pastoral theology as for the student of Augustine. * European Journal of Theology *Table of ContentsI.

SPCK Publishing Lectio Divina From Gods Word to Our Lives
Book SynopsisShows how in lectio divina we can truly meet the one who speaks, the living Word, God himself, who calls us to live rich Christian lives, even if the Word's work in us remains mysterious.Trade ReviewEnzo Bianchi is known to many as prior of the ecumenical Bose monastic community in Italy. Lectio Divina is his plea for Christians to feed on the Bible prayerfully and intelligently, avoiding both academic detachment and literalist credulity, and willing to enlist the fruits of biblical criticism in approaching scripture as a sacrament of God's presence. It is towards the end of this short book that Bianchi focuses on the specific discipline of lectio divina, with its four-fold sequence of lectio (engaging the otherness of the Bible) meditatio bringing ourselves into relationship with scripture), oratio (offering what is taking place to God), and contemplatio (dwelling joyfully in God's presence), having spent time outlining the foundation of this method in patterns of interpretation found within the Bible itself, in Origen, and in medieval hermeneutics. Such prayerful Bible study will often be undertaken individually, but it is a strenght of Bose's approach that he sees the defining context for encountering the Bible to be liturgical and communal: 'In liturgy-especially eucharistic liturgy- there is a resurrection of Scripture as Word' - though Protestant sensibilities may bristle a little to be told that 'all of this takes place under a presiding guarantor' Lectio Divina reads well in translation from the Italian but remains very much a Roman Catholic book, written in response to that Church's 'long estrangement from the Bible' and the neglect of Bible-reading in 'the daily lives of lay Catholics', unhelped by 'priests lacking training in reading Scripture'. Patristic authorities and official RC documents are frequently cited, but there is a notable absence of wider reference. The combination of patient explanation, close reference to post-Vatican II documentation, and a gentle assertiveness bring something of the air of the novitiate lecture-room. Readers belonging to Churches of the Reformation may feel that Bose is making a case for something that they have known about for some time, and that the helpful structure of lectio divina may not be quite as distinctive as it seems. The author offers many striking insights from his tradition into how, in reading scripture, we 'will know that we have read well if we feel that the text is reading us', though non-RC readers may feel that for much of the book they are overhearing a neighbouring family's conversation. -- Revd Philip Welsh * Church Times *

Zondervan Divine Action in Hebrews
Book SynopsisRecent years have seen renewed interest in divine action, but much of the literature tends to focus on the science-theology discussion. Resulting from multi-year work of the Scripture and Doctrine Seminar, part of KLC''s Scripture Collective, this book attends to the portrayal of divine action in one major biblical text, namely Hebrews. In the New Testament, Hebrews is on par with Romans in terms of importance but has too often been overlooked. Contributors to this volume explore the many different ways in which divine action is foregrounded and portrayed in Hebrews. As its name indicates, Hebrews overflows with Old Testament intertextuality, which also makes it a fertile ground for analysis of divine action stretching back into the Old Testament and opening out into different parts of the NT. The essays in this volume: rigorously work the interface of theology and exegesis, all related to Hebrews; offer an overview of the current state of discussion of divine act

Bloomsbury USA 3pl The Binding of Isaac A Religious Model of Disobedience v 468 The Library of Hebrew BibleOld Testament Studies
Book SynopsisTraditional interpretations in both Judaism and Christianity argue that the "Akedah" presents not only an ethical question but also an ethical reply. This book shows how the narrative's version did not contain the angelic figure and also re-examines various religious interpretations of the text.Trade Review"...a rare delight. Boehm offers a fresh and sometimes disturbing reading... This is a rich and thought-provoking book that definitely deserves to be read. It can be argued that its message lies right in time: we are today more prone to accept a reading of disobedience than ever before, and it fits well into much contemporary research in the fields of the prophets (of resisting prophetic metaphors) and of Lamentations (of picking up the counter-voices of the lamenters)."

Bloomsbury USA 3pl Arguing with Scripture
Trade Review"This unique study provides the first full-length study of the impact that Paul's quotations had upon his audience.... It is a fresh approach to the analysis of Paul's use of scripture.... This emphasis on authority and quotation then becomes a key ingredient in Stanley's examination of Paul's Scripture quotations.... His points provide a good critique of many studies on Paul's use of Scripture.... There are a number of strengths to Stanley's study. He has provided a much needed vantage point for looking at Paul's quotations of Scripture and emphasized the audience's reaction to Scripture quotations rather than the author's use. He has also focused attention on the diverse Scripture literacy of Paul's audience. These points deserve to be considered further in Paul's use of Scripture.... Arguing with Scripture does open up much room for understanding Paul's use of Scripture. His audience-centered approach will provide a fruitful starting point for many further investigations of Paul, his readers, and the role of Scripture." -RBL (Society of Biblical Literature), 1/05Review ~ International Review of Biblical Studies, vol 51,2004/05"In our opinion, Stanley's treatment of Paul's quotations is not penetrating either in content or rhetorical analysis. As a result he can present a view of Paul's quotation process that is at odds with the organic nature of revelation and the progressive movement of redemptive history. Perhaps others can find some usefulness in this work in spite of these flaws, but we have found little. Save your money and look up the quotations yourself. And if you want rhetorical insights, read Paul along with some classical rhetorical handbooks and Greco-Roman speeches. That would even help your preaching, but this book will not." - Scott F. Sanborn, Kerux: The Journal of Northwest Theological Seminary, September 2008 -- Scott F. Sanborn"Arguing with Scripture" is a theoretically sophisticated, methodologically innovative, exegetically sound, thorough and balanced study of how the Apostle Paul used scripture to argue with opponents and to persuade members of early Christian churches. By positing different hypothetical audiences for Paul's letters, at varying levels of familiarity with Jewish scripture, Stanley moves the debate about Paul's interpretive practices in new and more fruitful directions, away from concentrating exclusively on Paul's "intentions" and toward the variety of interpretations that are possible given a variety of possible kinds of audiences. Cognizant of the views of others and in dialogue with recent scholarship, Stanley judiciously demonstrates the remarkable freedom Paul used in quoting and interpreting scripture, but this study also shows just how persuasive--and sometimes unpersuasive--Paul's rhetoric may have been in the ancient church. Stanley's own arguments are persuasive indeed."--Dale B. Martin, Professor of Religious Studies, Yale University -- Dale B. Martin * Blurb from reviewer *"Christopher Stanley has provided an insightful analysis of Paul's enigmatic use of Scripture. Why did Paul seldom explicitly quote the Old Testament? Why did he use Scripture infrequently to support his deeper theological arguments? Stanley finds the answers to these and other questions in Paul's sensitivity to his rhetorical situations and the argumentation that he tailored for each. Stanley merges the study of Paul's use of Scripture and rhetorical analysis to create a helpful, custom-made tool for interpreting the Pauline Epistles."--Duane Watson, Professor of New Testament Studies, Malone College, Canton, Ohio -- Duane Watson * Blurb from reviewer *"While not everyone will agree with all of Chris Stanley's own arguments with Paul concerning his use and abuse of scriptural quotations, Arguing with Scripture represents a quantum leap forward in the study of this dimension of Paul's intertextuality. Stanley's highly productive combination of reader response and rhetorical criticism keeps the focus on a range of effects that Paul's strategic 'rhetoric of quotations' could have had on readers/auditors of varying competencies. While previous studies occasionally touch on these issues, Stanley foregrounds them and uses them to present many fresh insights. Indeed, he succeeds in problematizing no less than nine traditional scholarly assumptions about how Paul and his readers interacted with the biblical text! This is an important scholarly contribution that is clear, concise, and reader-friendly even to non-specialists. It deserves to be read by readers of all competencies.--Mark D. Given, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Southwest Missouri State University, Springfield Missouri -- Mark D. Given * Blurb from reviewer *"...Stanley's book is engaging and provocative. The questions that he raises are both poignant and important."- David Lincicum, June 2006/ Vol. 49 no.2 * Journal of Evangelical Theological Society *'[A] new methodological approach which promises to offer new insights into Paul's use of Scripture...This accesible study offers the reader a tremendous amount of insight into first century Christianity, pexposing some of the fallacies that are often assumed about Paul's audiences...This book is a fresh approach to Paul's use of Scriptures that has much to offer...and will certainly be of benefit whatever side of the Maximalist/Minimalist divide one resides.' Bryan D. Lee, Themelios, Vol 32, Issue 2, January 2006 * Themelios *Stanley’s method is enlightening and can be built upon for further insight into the Pauline use of scripture… [his] study gives the NT, and specifically Pauline community, much to consider. -- Aaron White, Pastoral Intern * Mosissimus Mose, A Blog by PhD Students at Trinity College, Bristol *

Book SynopsisThis text is an approach to the Book of Revelation. It illuminates the formative years of Christianity, in the social, religious and political situation of mid-first-century Palestine.Trade Review'This is a very exciting and suggestive book. Margaret Barker strips off the varnish applied to the portrait of Jesus Christ by generations of desk bound scholars. She reveals a fresh and startling Christ, but one who is entirely believable in the diversity of first century Judaism which she has so dramatically illuminated.' The Rt Revd and Rt Hon. Richard Chartres, Bishop of London 'This is a serious book and one that will provoke much debate and reflection.' The Bible Today 'The case is argued by massive (but readable) scholarship. But does it hold together? If Margaret Barker is correct, how come this book got into the same New Testament as the letters of Paul whom it so vehemently opposed? Read her case; it will stimulate your own thinking. And then make your own mind up.' Canon Michael Perry, Church Times 'Margaret Barker makes the Book of Revelation make sense. It no longer stands apart at the edge of the Christian Bible, but appears as a key New Testament text, showing us the world of images in which the early Christians thought their religion. Margaret Barker has written a compelling book. It reshapes our understanding of early Christianity, its literature and its liturgy.' Professor David Melling, Manchester Metropolitan University"This commentary-like series of essays on the book of Revelation offers a fresh and complete interpretation of what Barker considers one of the earliest [...] NT writings...Barker's book demonstrates that there can be no convincing account of early Christian history without a proper understanding of the book of Revelation. Highly recommended!" - International Review of Biblical Studies, 1999/2000"Barker is one of a growing number who have seen the potential significance of the Temple and its mythology for the classic Christian creeds". --International Journal of Systematic Theology 3.2 (July 2001)This is a brave book and an intriguing one... it must be said that not the least intriguing aspect of the author's presentation is the wide cast of her net: she has read and mastered an astonishingly broad range of primary texts.

Here is critical but reverent scholarship at its best, distilling many years of research and reflection. In a day when the length of critical commentaries is expanding exponentially, Wilson serves up a concise, erudite treatment, a model of lucid scholarship.For pastors who can work with their Greek NT and for teachers in colleges, universities and seminaries, this commentary will prove to be a goldmine of information. The proofreading for this highly technical volume is first rate." -- Journal of the Evangelical Theololgical Society'A technical but readable analysis of Colossians and Philemon with due attention given to the text, background, and arguments of these letters. The author gives good overviews of scholarship and excavates the text with learned precision.

As a result, the commentary proves a valuable source-book of data on a variety of topics: lexical, conceptual, social, theological, and occasionally pastoral...It is rich in word studies based on the text and other NT sources...In all, this is a valuable contribution to the library of scholarly works on the two letters.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Solidarity and Difference A Contemporary Reading of Pauls Ethics
Book SynopsisDavid G. Horrell is Professor of New Testament at the University of Exeter UK, and author of Becoming Christian (T&T Clark 2013).Trade ReviewOne of the most creative and innovative books about Paul I have ever read. * N. T. Wright, Paul and His Recent Interpreters, 2015 *In a global, pluralist, fractured world, may Christians hope to find a healing and hopeful word in - of all places - the letters of Paul, themselves centers of controversy and division from the beginning? Horrell answers with a resounding "Yes", After a penetrating analysis and critique of the polarized conversation among ethicists in recent decades, he proposes a new, "third way" to find a model in Paul for communities that embrace the other without losing their identity. * Wayne A. Meeks, Yale University, USA *This is a bold and highly stimulating intellectual experiment...Through close study of key texts and carefully reasoned debates across multiple disciplines, Horrell reconfigures the Pauline ethic and opens it up to dialogue with public morality as never before. Both New Testament scholars and ethicists will welcome this ground-breaking work. * John Barclay, Durham University, UK *There is much exegetical and moral wisdom in this lucidly written book, a wisdom which avoids simplifications and the peril of modernizing Paul. The Paul we encounter in this book is no eccentric, but a serious moral thinker of Early Christian wrestling with problems which are not out of date, but which recur again and again in this life. * Gerd Theissen, University of Heidelberg, Germany *David Horrell's nuanced study significantly advances the conversation about Pauline ethics...Horrell's reading of Paul offers a mediating voice that suggests a way beyond certain impasses in contemporary ethical debate...Anyone who reads Horrell's richly synthetic work, therefore, will be challenged to think more precisely about matters of central importance. * Richard B.
