Book SynopsisJon C. Laansma is Associate Professor of Ancient Languages and New Testament at Wheaton College, Illinois, USA.Daniel J. Treier is Associate Professor of Theology at Wheaton College, Illinois, USA.Trade ReviewThis book is worth buying for Professor Laansma's Introduction alone. The other essays in the volume make this a necessary book for anyone who seeks to understand Hebrews--today and in the history of Christian exegesis--and indeed for anyone who seeks to grapple with the question of how Christians today should read Scripture. The book manages to be both scholarly and inspiring. Theologians who strive to read Scripture faithfully will find this book to be a powerful stimulant for reflection and growth. -- Matthew LeveringHebrews has played a significant and sometimes sometimes controversial role in Christian thought. This fine collection of essays explores the way that major thinkers have engaged Hebrews over the centuries. The contributors show us the vitality of theological interpretation of Hebrews and open up valuable perspectives on this intriguing text. Their work will be welcomed by students of Scripture, theology, and the history of the church. -- Craig R. KoesterThere are three reasons for welcoming Jon C. Laansma and Daniel J. Treier's book: first, because it provides an impressive overview of the scientific debate on Hebrews, against the larger backdrop of New Testament Studies and the modern history of ideas. Second, because it is the first collected volume dedicated to the neglected reception history of Hebrews. And finally, because it is the first book to gather a chorus of patristic-theological voices on the interpretation of Hebrews. -- Gabriella GelardiniSummarized. * New Testament Abstracts *Table of ContentsAbbreviations List of Contributors Preface 1.

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.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC 1 Corinthians
Book SynopsisThis volume presents, in published form, the detailed commentary work of E. Earle Ellis on Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. At the time of his death Ellis had been working for many years on a volume for the International Critical Commentary on the epistle. Because Ellis was unable to complete the volume before his passing and had left instructions that it should not be completed, Terry Wilder instead presents Ellis' profound exegetical insights in the form of his completed commentary sections on 1 Corinthians, with minimal editorial intervention. In addition to collating Ellis' detailed critical commentary on 1 Corinthians chapters 1-13, with edited notes on chapter 14, Wilder has also completed an original editorial essay that provides a synthesis of Ellis' notes and thinking on chapters 15 and 16. Closely assessing the letter's address, salutation and thanksgiving and Paul's words on true and false wisdom, sexual relationships, liberty's boundaries and the regulation of churTrade ReviewAn outstanding exegetical commentary by a senior scholar who devoted many years to careful research and exegesis. Highly recommended. * Religious Studies Review *The founder of the Institute of Biblical Research, E. Earle Ellis was a pioneer of evangelical New Testament scholarship, especially of the study of Paul’s letters. The belated appearance of his incomplete commentary on 1 Corinthians is an exciting development and a welcome reminder of his astute and judicious scholarship. The book is a treasure trove of historical, exegetical and theological insights. * Brian S. Rosner, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia *Earle Ellis’s commentary on 1 Corinthians provides a crisp, engaging, in-depth guide to Paul’s thought, which one would expect from a master of the art of exegesis who has earned international renown. He combines a depth of scholarship with a wealth of inspiring and judicious insights that are moored by his evangelical commitments, keeping him from being swept off course by the tides of the latest scholarly fashions. The commentary is unfinished, but pastors, teachers, and researchers are indebted to Terry Wilder for editing it and to the publisher for publishing it a decade after Professor Ellis’s death rather than leaving it, the work of a lifetime of study, interred in some dusty file cabinet. This commentary ranks with so many unfinished works in history that nevertheless are regarded as stunning successes. * David E. Garland, Baylor University, USA *This commentary by Ellis is an excellent work that could not be completed due to his death. Although some pieces are missing or need to be glued together, it is full of fresh and unique exegetical insights and theological perspectives. Reading this commentary is like walking into a master carpenter’s workroom and discovering how skillfully he cuts wood and puts pieces together to create a masterpiece. Readers will not only gain great insights for the study of 1 Corinthians but also learn exegetical skills from a master exegete. They will also find interesting and helpful the author’s identification of various preformed traditions in 1 Corinthians and his interpretation of several key passages and expressions in light of his unique understanding of Corinthian contexts and Apostolic missions and of his particular view of man as a whole person and as a corporate and individual being in God’s salvation history. * S. Aaron Son, Former NT professor at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, USA *Table of ContentsPreface Chapter 1: Address and Salutation (1:1-3) Chapter 2: Thanksgiving (1:4-9) Chapter 3: True and False Wisdom (1:10-4:21) Chapter 4: Sexual Relationships: Immoral and Moral (5:1-7:40) Chapter 5: Liberty’s Boundaries: Re Idol Food (8:1-11:1) Chapter 6: The Regulation of Church Services (11:2-14:40) Epilogue
