Peeters Publishers Between Rome and Jerusalem: Herod the Great and
Book SynopsisThe present study proposes a challenging new chronological framework for the Herodian age, a critical period in Jewish history. Not only do the rules of Herod the Great and his sons receive altered time settings, but the birth and death of Jesus are also placed several years later than is generally accepted. As a consequence of this the dates of Paul's apostolate are reexamined. Ostensibly narrow in scope, these modifications entail far-reaching implications for our understanding of the Syro-Palestinian region at the beginning of the present era. Interconnections between numerous events are established and tensions within and between the Herodian and Hasmonean dynasties are laid bare. It is shown that Roman impact on the East was substantial, with a strong Hellenistic influence exerted on local cultures. Several customs of the Jewish and early Christian communities, hitherto unknown, are also brought to light. Both in its details and in its overall sweep this important work sets up a stimulating reference point for future historical investigations of the Herodian and New Testament worlds.

Peeters Publishers Understanding What One Reads: II: Essays on the
Book SynopsisThis volume, Understanding what One Reads II: The Gospels and Paul (2003-2011), supplements the volume with the same main title which contains New Testament Essays from 1992-2002 and appeared in 2003. It continues the attempt (described in the preceding volume) to collect Professor Lambrecht's shorter writings into volumes that would be more accessible. The present volume brings together 35 studies, some rather brief, others more expanded. The first 34 are "bookended" by the cover illustration and the final article, which reflects on how Dei Verbum has functioned through forty years in attempting to understand what one reads in Scripture. As elsewhere in previous studies, Professor Lambrecht examines the relation between Q and Mark; he more than once reacts against a too easy reference to intertextuality which is methodologically not justified. He always carefully analyzes the line of thought (and the literal sense) in a number of passages, asking the question "How does the New Testament author reason and argue?". The majority of the articles in this volume have been published in journals or festschrifts. Most of the studies are strictly scientific; a few however have been written as conferences or essays for a nonspecialized Christian public. As the reader will observe, quite often a brief article is a reply to a recent publication. It is hoped that this collection of dispersed published studies and unpublished material will be appreciated by colleagues and students alike.

Peeters Publishers Conflict Over Wisdom: The Theme of 1 Corinthians
Book SynopsisWhile wisdom was highly valued in the Hellenistic world, there is only one place in the New Testament that discusses the gospel in terms of wisdom: 1 Corinthians 1-4. Yet, instead of entering into a conciliating dialogue on wisdom, Paul confronts his readers with a conflict over wisdom. This study argues that the roots for this conflict are found in Scripture, especially in the prophetic books of Isaiah and Jeremiah, as the quotations indicate. Significant literary and theological relationships are brought to light by means of an intertextual approach.

Peeters Publishers Studies in the Gospel of John and Its
Book SynopsisStudies in the Gospel of John and Its Christology brings together a number of essays in honour of Gilbert Van Belle, professor of New Testament Studies at the Catholic University of Leuven. Some thirty colleagues responded to the invitation to contribute an essay on an aspect of the Christology of the Fourth Gospel. The editors have tried to cover all the important passages, and many more, that deal with this crucial topic in Johannine studies, which was also very much a focus of Van Belle’s own research. The essays are arranged according to the structure of the gospel. The first two contributions deal with hermeneutical issues in the prologue. They are followed by essays on (parts of) each chapter, including the epilogue in John 21, and one essay on the faith and witness motif in 1 John 5,6-12. The volume also includes the complete academic bibliography of the honouree.

Peeters Publishers A Divine Round Trip: The Literary and
Book SynopsisHow does the Evangelist utilize the Descent/Ascent Leitmotif to shape the telling of Jesus’ story, and what is he conveying by incorporating this round trip language? The argument of this book is that the Descent/Ascent Leitmotif, which includes the language of not only descending and ascending, but also coming, going, and being sent, performs a significant literary and christological function in the Gospel of John. The Evangelist’s Descent/Ascent Leitmotif becomes the Gospel’s organizing principle, drawing together this constellation of verbs and a number of christological themes, including Jesus’ origin, identity, relationship to God, authority, signs and works, life, and glory. Using a thematic structural method, this book illustrates the transforming influence of the Leitmotif on these themes from which John’s Christology emerges. Additionally, this book examines the spatial dimensions and christological importance of the vertical and horizontal depictions of Jesus’ divine round trip.

Peeters Publishers Paul's Graeco-Roman Context
Book SynopsisThese papers of the 62nd Colloquium Biblicum Lovaniense (July 16-18, 2013) illustrate that the Apostle Paul is an excellent example for the cultural exchange so typical of the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire during the early imperial age. He was a Jew from Tarsus and regarded himself, according to his own words, as Hebrew descended from Hebrews, and as Pharisee according to the way of interpreting the Law. However, he wrote his letters in Greek, showing acquaintance not only with the Greek translations of the Law and the Prophets, but also with contemporary Greek philosophical concepts, rhetorical style and e.g. the tradition of Euripides' tragedies. He lived and worked in several Roman colonies and absorbed Romanized concepts, metaphors and a vision of reaching from the eastern frontier of the Empire to Spain in the West. Influenced by different intellectual worlds, Paul stood at the crossroads of cultural interaction.

Peeters Publishers An Andalusian Arabic Version of the Four Gospels:
Book SynopsisWithin one year of the conquest of Spania (AD 711), the Muslim conquerors struck coins, with legends in Latin, demonstrating the tenets of their faith: 'In the Name of God; there is no deity other than God, Alone, without compeer'. This proclamation was followed by a bilingual mint,drawn from the Qur'an: 'He is God, Unique, God Everlasting, He who has not begotten, and who has not been begotten, and equal to Him is not any one' (Qur'an 112). Then solely in Arabic, the coins replaced the legend Spania with al-Andalus. As the Christian population of Al-Andalus became increasingly arabicised, the need for translating their sacred scriptures into Arabic undoubtedly ensued. It is interesting to note that article 26 of the Fourth Council of Toledo (AD 633) had decreed that when priests were assigned to their districts (parishes), the bishops were to provide them each with a copy of the Gospels so that, having mastered the teachings of the Gospels, the priests would not err in the application of God's law and intent. An Arabic translation of the Scriptures - particularly the Gospels - would meet that requirement and satisfy a growing need of the priesthood and the faithful laity - non-conversant in Latin - to read and hear the sacred text in the language that they comprehended best.

Peeters Publishers Miracle Tradition, Rhetoric, and the Synoptic
Book SynopsisThis study examines the relative plausibility of three contemporary synoptic gospel source-critical hypotheses, namely the Two-Document Hypothesis (2DH), the Two-Gospel Hypothesis (2GH), and the Farrer Hypothesis (FH). Specific attention is paid to the implied redaction of the Gospel miracle traditions, which are evaluated through the lens of first-century Greco-Roman biographical and narrative rhetorical conventions. The influence of such conventions is first demonstrated in the known adaptations of two first-century writers, namely Josephus and Plutarch. The same conventions are then used to assess the relative redactional plausibility of the three synoptic hypotheses, first in relation to the implied order and selection of miracle traditions, then in relation to narrative adaptations in three specific miracle pericopes. While the cumulative evidence clearly points to the greater plausibility of the Markan Priority hypotheses over against the 2GH, neither the 2DH nor FH was demonstrably more plausible than the other.

Peeters Publishers «Volonté de Dieu» et «faire le bien» dans la
Book SynopsisLa Prima Petri aborde de façon originale la thématique du « faire la volonté de Dieu » en lui associant celle de « faire le bien ». Cette association constitue un véritable « motif » théologique. Après une importante enquête lexicographique, concernant le terme thélèma (« volonté ») référé à Dieu, et le verbe agathopoïein (« faire le bien »), l’auteur parcourt l’Ancien Testament hébreu et grec, la littérature juive ancienne, spécialement les textes de Qumrân, la littérature gréco-romaine, et les autres écrits du Nouveau Testament, en quête des sources littéraires d’une association thématique qui joue un rôle majeur dans l’argumentation parénétique de l’épître. D’un point de vue strictement littéraire, elle unifie le discours parénétique, aidant les auditeurs à en mémoriser le message par sa triple répétition aux moments clés de l’exhortation ; elle permet surtout de préparer l’auditoire, en marquant les étapes d’une progression de la parénèse : après avoir demandé, en réponse aux calomnies, de toujours faire le bien, l’auteur de l’épître mentionne l’éventualité de la souffrance résultant de cette manière de se comporter ; enfin, il encourage ceux qui souffrent parce qu’ils font le bien à s’en remettre avec confiance à Dieu, Créateur fidèle. Parmi de très nombreuses références scripturaires qui fondent la parénèse pétrinienne, deux occupent une place privilégiée : le Ps 33LXX et le quatrième chant du Serviteur (Is 53). Elles apportent la confirmation que « faire le bien » correspond à la « volonté de Dieu ». Après une étude détaillée du « motif » au sein de l’épître, il apparaît que la Prima Petri se situe « à l’interface de deux cultures » : la culture biblique et juive d’une part, et la culture gréco-romaine, notamment stoïcienne, d’autre part. Dans sa conclusion, l’auteur écrit : « Le chrétien accomplit la volonté de Dieu dans son existence en pratiquant non pas d’abord tous les préceptes de la Loi, mais le commandement de la charité qui, pour l’auteur, se résume à toujours faire du bien à autrui. C’est cette attitude fondamentale qui correspond à la volonté de Dieu, même si le prochain vous calomnie ou vous fait du mal et même si vous devez en souffrir. » « Faire la volonté de Dieu » consiste donc à « faire le bien », non par obéissance à ce que Dieu demanderait, mais parce que cela correspond à sa propre manière d’agir et à celle du Christ dans sa Passion. La force du « motif » pétrinien est d’être adapté à une parénèse chrétienne qui est destinée à des communautés habituées au métissage culturel : elle est centrée sur le comportement du Christ, tout en étant enracinée tant dans l’Écriture et le judaïsme que dans le stoïcisme ambiant.

Peeters Publishers L'épître aux Philippiens: L'Évangile du don et de
Book SynopsisL’épître de Paul est une lettre d’amitié, écrite pour réceptionner l’aide financière envoyée par les Philippiens à l’apôtre. La lettre vise à faire entrer les destinataires dans la perfection de l’amour, en redéfinissant un nouvel ethos de la communion et de l’échange de dons, à partir de l’évangile de la grâce de Dieu et des requêtes les plus hautes de la culture gréco-romaine de la bienfaisance et de l’amitié. Si vis-à-vis de certaines communautés Paul n’accepta aucune aide financière, pour manifester au commencement la gratuité de l’évangile et la liberté nouvelle qui en résulte, son attitude envers les Philippiens indique que la maturité et la perfection chrétienne s’accueillent et se vérifient au final dans les actes les plus simples, les plus concrets et les plus habituels de la vie relationnelle. C’est toute une théologie de la nature et de la grâce qui se découvre et s’accomplit dans la praxis financière de l’apôtre et dans la rhétorique épistolaire qu’il met en ÷uvre pour l’accompagner.

Peeters Publishers Narrative Time in the New Testament: Essays on
Book SynopsisHuman beings live in time; time produces story, the lifeblood of narrative – all the more so for the biblical story which has been, and continues to be, intimately woven into the lives of countless people throughout the generations. Narrative as a literary genre is well represented in the Scriptures as a whole, not least in the New Testament, accounting for approximately three-fourths of its overall content. That so much of the Bible is expressed in this communicative mode cannot be merely incidental to its interpretation. The essays collected here aim to illustrate how a narrative approach applied to a number of New Testament passages, particularly in the way they deal with time, can enhance appreciation of the Bible’s capacity to make its message present, thus contributing a vital and consequential dimension to the perennial endeavor of faith seeking understanding.

Peeters Publishers With Gentleness and Respect : Pauline and
Book SynopsisThis volume honors Troy W. Martin and his thirty years of fruitful scholarship in New Testament and related disciplines. Sixteen studies by an international group of scholars explore texts and themes prominent in Martin’s own research in the Pauline letters and 1 Peter. Two articles consider rhetorical criticism of Galatians (David E. Aune, A. Andrew Das); four examine key passages and themes in Romans (Laurie J. Braaten, P. Richard Choi, Charles H. Cosgrove, and Mark F. Whitters); five explore issues of interpretation and reception of other Pauline texts (Christopher Forbes, George Lyons, Clare K. Rothschild, Todd D. Still, D. Francois Tolmie); and five address exegetical and rhetorical matters in 1 Peter (Jenny L. DeVivo, Eric F. Mason, Nancy Pardee, Russell B. Sisson, Duane F. Watson). The volume also includes a biographical tribute (Avis Clendenen and Jenny L. DeVivo), an annotated bibliography of Martin’s academic publications (Teresa J. Calpino), and indices (compiled by Najeeb T. Haddad).

Peeters Publishers La Lettre aux Galates: Deuxième édition revue
Book SynopsisChère à Luther, qui l’appelait sa « petite fiancée », la Lettre aux Galates est, malgré sa brièveté, un texte majeur, décisif pour la foi chrétienne. Beaucoup sont d’avis que cette lettre a été écrite sous le coup de la passion. On a même parlé de rhétorique tellement enflammée qu’elle serait « portée au rouge ». Il ne conviendrait donc pas de chercher un ordre rigoureux dans cet écrit de circonstance. D’autres ont pu rétorquer au contraire qu’il ne s’agit tout de même pas d’un e-mail ! Depuis plus de cinquante ans la Lettre aux Galates est devenue le champ privilégié de l’application aux textes bibliques des règles de la rhétorique classique gréco-latine. Certains pensent y reconnaitre un écrit de genre judiciaire, d’autres de genre délibératif, d’autres encore de genre démonstratif ; sans compter ceux qui penchent du côté de l’épistolographie antique. Le présent commentaire part d’un autre présupposé. Bien que né à Tarse, où fleurissaient les écoles de rhétorique, Paul était juif avant tout, formé à Jérusalem où il dit avoir grandi, aux pieds de Rabbi Gamaliel. Il est donc sans doute de meilleure méthode de chercher à découvrir la composition de ses lettres non pas à Athènes, mais dans ce qui faisait la substance de sa culture, la Bible, avec les lois spécifiques qui la caractérisent. Ainsi, la thèse essentielle de la Lettre, la « proposition », ne se trouve pas au début de la lettre, comme le veut la rhétorique classique, mais en plein centre de la section centrale, comme clé de voûte, et donc de lecture, de l’ensemble de l’écrit. Paul suit en cela une des lois les plus fondamentales et les mieux établies de la rhétorique biblique et sémitique. L’interprétation de la Lettre, soutenue aussi par l’étude du contexte biblique, s’en trouve par conséquent notablement renouvelée.

Peeters Publishers Wachstumsgesetz oder Kürzungstendenz?:
Book SynopsisDie Untersuchung widmet sich der Fragestellung, wie es dazu gekommen ist, dass Erzählungen des synoptischen Parallelstoffs aufgrund von zusätzlichen Textinformationen, sogenannten inhaltlichen Überhängen, unterschiedlich ausführlich sind. Im Rahmen eines interdisziplinären Ansatzes zieht diese Untersuchung Erkenntnisse aus der experimentellen Gedächtnispsychologie heran, die zeigen, dass Erzählungen in auswendigen Reproduktionen in aller Regel nicht anwachsen, sondern durch das Auslassen von nebensächlichen Textinformationen gekürzt werden. Als nebensächliche Textinformationen identifizierten die experimentellen Untersuchungen u.a. Angaben zum Ort, zur Zeit, zu den Personen, zu den Objekten und zu einem Ereignis oder Geschehen in Form von adverbialen Bestimmungen. Vergleicht man die inhaltlichen Überhänge der synoptischen Parallelperikopen mit den in auswendigen Reproduktionen ausgelassenen nebensächlichen Textinformationen, dann ergibt sich, dass 90% der inhaltlichen Überhänge aus gedächtnispsychologischer Perspektive durch Kürzungen in einer vom menschlichen Gedächtnis getragenen Überlieferung erklärt werden können. Daher ist für die Geschichte der synoptischen Jesusüberlieferung eine Kürzungstendenz viel wahrscheinlicher als ein Wachstumsprozess oder gar die Wirksamkeit eines Wachstumsgesetzes.

Peeters Publishers Early Christian Commentators of the New
Book SynopsisThe Early Church has produced a diversified and influential tradition of commenting on the Bible. The tradition is rich in content, in methods, and in the goals pursued. The present volume offers a selection of papers read at an international colloquium held in Leuven in December 2018. Basically, three guidelines were followed in selecting the material: language, representative authors, and the wish to cover various parts of the New Testament. Three of the ten essays deal with Greek authors. Origen takes a place of honour, and through him is also heard the voice of one of the oldest Christian commentators, Heracleon. The third one is Theodore of Mopsuestia, the major representative of the non-Alexandrian tradition, averse of an allegorical reading of the Bible. The Latins are represented by their two greatest exegetes (Jerome and Augustine), a recently rediscovered gospel commentator (Fortunatianus), two commentators on Paul (Marius Victorinus and Ambrosiaster), an influential commentator of the Apocalypse (Victorinus of Pettau), and an author who was instrumental in transmitting the legacy of the ancient Church to a new era (Bede).

Peeters Publishers Power in the New Testament
Book SynopsisInfluential research by authors like Foucault and Arendt revealed the significant role of power in shaping relationships in society and faith communities. This volume contributes to this research trend by analysing the formative role of power in early Christian documents and communities. An introductory essay investigates theoretical approaches to power and the nexus between power and religion. It functions as orientation for the exegetical analyses of individual texts in the rest of the volume. Two contributions analyse power dynamics in the Bible generally and nine others investigate its use in specific early Christian texts. They attend to the vocabulary of power as well as the networks and actors involved in the execution of diverse forms of power. They focus on how these dynamics operate specifically in the Gospels, Pauline texts and traditions and the Apocalypse. They show that power can be abusive and dangerous, but it also is a positive, restraining force.

Peeters Publishers Passible des historiens: Jésus de Nazareth
Book SynopsisQuasi universellement, Jésus de Nazareth est reconnu comme personnage historique. Comme tel, il est soumis aux sciences historiques et doit en souffrir, en pâtir, toutes les tortures. C'est le sens que retient le titre donné à ce recueil consacré à la recherche du Jésus de l'histoire: Passible des historiens: Jésus de Nazareth. Recherche d'historiens qui entendent s'en tenir, concernant Jésus, à ce que leurs seuls outils permettent d'en connaître. Ce qui implique une plongée dans tous les documents qui parlent de Jésus, l'histoire se faisant à partir de documents. Plongée dans les évangiles canoniques, singulièrement, mais également dans tous les textes anciens qui parlent de Jésus, bien que non retenus dans le canon chrétien des Écritures. Sources littéraires donc. Mais qui sont nées dans un contexte particulier, principalement celui de la Galilée du premier siècle. D'où l'importance, spécialement, de ce que l'archéologie permet de dire de la situation sociale de la Galilée de Jésus, au début du premier siècle. En un sens, les études de cet ouvrage appartiennent donc aux querelles infligées à la mémoire et à l'histoire de Jésus. Elles reflètent les débats de plus de quarante années de recherche autour du Jésus historique; débats, si l'on veut, de la troisième quête, amorcée au début des années 1980, et dont elles présentent, en somme, une certaine histoire.
