Cambridge University Press The New Cambridge Companion to St. Paul
Book SynopsisSt Paul was a pivotal and controversial figure in the fledgling Jesus movement of the first century. The New Cambridge Companion to St Paul provides an invaluable entryway into the study of Paul and his letters. Composed of sixteen essays by an international team of scholars, it explores some of the key issues in the current study of his dynamic and demanding theological discourse. The volume first examines Paul''s life and the first-century context in which he and his communities lived. Contributors then analyze particular writings by comparing and contrasting at least two selected letters, while thematic essays examine topics of particular importance, including how Paul read scripture, his relation to Judaism and monotheism, why his message may have been attractive to first-century audiences, how his message was elaborated in various ways in the first four centuries, and how his theological discourse might relate to contemporary theological discourse and ideological analysis today.Trade Review'There are riches on every page … All readers will value this new Companion.' Robin Griffith-Jones, Church Times'Content-wise, the contributions are all fine pieces of scholarship, accessible, yet well-resourced, and above all interesting, which is essential for a work styled as a Companion.

Baker Publishing Group Rethinking the Dates of the New Testament – The
Book Synopsis2023 Word Guild Award Winner (Biblical Studies) This paradigm-shifting study is the first book-length investigation into the compositional dates of the New Testament to be published in over forty years. It argues that, with the notable exception of the undisputed Pauline Epistles, most New Testament texts were composed twenty to thirty years earlier than is typically supposed by contemporary biblical scholars. What emerges is a revised view of how quickly early Christians produced what became the seminal texts for their new movement.Table of ContentsContentsIntroductionPart 1: The Synoptic Gospels and Acts1.

Baker Publishing Group 1 Peter
Book SynopsisIn this new edition in the award-winning BECNT series, leading evangelical biblical scholar Karen Jobes offers a substantive commentary on 1 Peter. The first edition, widely regarded as one of the leading commentaries on 1 Peter, has sold over 22,000 copies. The second edition takes recent scholarship into account and has been updated and revised throughout. Jobes takes a historical-grammatical approach to exegeting 1 Peter and considers the possibility that the original readers of the letter were actual exiles who had known Peter in some other location, probably Rome. She analyzes each discourse unit of the Greek text with a view toward not only what the letter meant in its original setting but how it speaks to readers today. As with all BECNT volumes, this commentary features an acclaimed, user-friendly design and admirably achieves the dual aims of the series--academic sophistication with pastoral sensitivity and accessibility--making it a useful tool for pastors, church leaders, students, and teachers.

Faithlife Corporation Galatians Verse by Verse
Book SynopsisAfter the Apostle Paul returned from his first missionary journey, he heard that a certain group of legalistic Jewish Christians had infiltrated the churches he had established. These false teachers were teaching that new Christians had to be circumcised and follow the Old Testament law in order to be truly saved. Paul, realizing the gospel was at stake, wrote this letter in response. In Galatians Verse by Verse, experienced New Testament scholar sets forth Paul's laser-focused argument: Jesus is not only the Messiah; he came to inaugurate a new era in salvation history. In this new era, Christians are not made right with God by obeying the law; justification is by faith alone. This frees believers to live their lives not trying to earn salvation, but instead joyfully keeping in step with the Spirit. Pastors, Bible study leaders, and invested laypeople will all benefit from Osborne's careful reading of the text and commitment to making sense of the New Testament without scholarly jargon.The Osborne New Testament Commentary Series is a set of commentaries on every New Testament book. In each volume, Grant R. Osborne seeks to carefully exposit the text in plain language, bringing out the treasures in each book and making them accessible for today's readers.Trade ReviewGrant Osborne is an eminent New Testament scholar and warm-hearted professor who loves the Word of God. The volumes in this accessible commentary series help readers understand the text clearly and accurately. But they also draw us to consider the implications of the text, providing key insights on faithful application and preaching that reflect a lifetime of ministry experience. This unique combination of scholarship and practical experience makes this series an invaluable resource for all students of God's Word, and especially those who are called to preach and teach. --H. Wayne Johnson, associate academic dean and associate professor of pastoral theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"It is a privilege to commend this fine verse-by-verse commentary on Galatians by my teacher and friend Grant Osborne. Grant rightly envisions profitable use of it in personal devotions, church Bible study, and as a sermon aid. His encyclopedic knowledge of the New Testament literature and his lucid writing style make this commentary a joy to read. Highly recommended!"--Andreas J. Köstenberger, senior research professor of New Testament and biblical theology, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and founder of Biblical Foundations"I am very excited about Grant Osborne's series of New Testament commentaries! The Galatians commentary is a wonderful resource for pastors and Bible study leaders. Osborne brings to bear his many years of experience as a professor and pastor as he explains and applies each passage in clear and substantive ways without getting bogged down in minor details or more technical discussions. Osborne's careful blend of accessibility and depth is what marks out this commentary as particularly useful. I hope many people will get this book and use it." --Ray Van Neste, professor of biblical studies and director of the R. C. Ryan Center for Biblical Studies, Union University"As a student of Dr. Osborne's, I taped many of his lectures because of their deep and profound insight into New Testament Scripture. It is a marvelous blessing that he has found time to provide a verse-by-verse exposition of Paul's letter to the Galatians. This excellent work will save pastors, professors, and speakers hours of study and preparation time, since the thorough and unique presentation totally eliminates the need to look anywhere else for deeper understanding. This is an outstanding, superb, one-stop shop commentary on the book of Galatians." --Raleigh B. Washington, president and CEO, Promise Keepers

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Introducing Ephesians
Book SynopsisWho are we to be in this materialistic age? Our identity, Ephesians tells us, can only be found in Christ. The spiritual blessings that we receive can only be found in him. We are chosen and raised in him. We form together to be the church in him.

This is a book which will equip you for your own study of the book of Ephesians and ultimately in teaching it. It will help you answer the questions: Why did things happen the way they did? Why should we read Ephesians today? What are the main themes? This is intended to accompany Teaching Ephesians and includes an introductory study.Trade ReviewNorth India desperately needs men and women who will preach and teach the Bible faithfully and PT's Teaching series is of great value in encouraging them to do just that. -- Isaac Shaw (Executive Director, Delhi Bible Institute, New Delhi, India)The need of the hour is Bible knowledge. When knowledge fails, faith fails, and we are shaped instead by cultural forces alien to God. This teaching series, written by skilled and trustworthy students of God's word, helps us to understand the Bible, believe it and obey it. I commend it to all Bible readers, but especially those whose task it is to teach the inspired word of God. -- Peter Jensen (Retired Archbishop of Sydney, Sydney, Australia)The task of moving from the text of Scripture to clear and faithful exposition is challenging. This series of excellent guides aims to help the Bible teacher to observe what is there in the text, and prepare to convey its significance to contemporary hearers. In this way these volumes often do more than the weightier technical commentaries. It is like having the guidance of an experienced coach in the wonderful work of rightly handling the word of truth. -- John Woodhouse (Retired Principal and Lecturer in Doctrine and Old Testament, Moore College, Sydney, Australia)The Teaching series is a great resource for Bible study leaders and pastors, indeed for any Christian who wants to understand their Bible better. -- Mark Dever (Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church and President, 9Marks.org, Washington, DC)

Book SynopsisDer 5. Band der Gesammelten Aufsätze umfasst 12 Arbeiten aus den Jahren 1995 bis 2008, die zumeist aus Vorträgen auf internationalen Tagungen hervorgegangen sind. Die auf Deutsch oder Englisch verfassten Untersuchungen sind in zwei Teile gruppiert. In Teil I befasst sich Hans Dieter Betz mit der Theologie des Paulus, in Teil II mit der griechisch-römischen Religionsgeschichte. Die Arbeiten zeigen die paulinische Theologie in Auseinandersetzung mit Themen der hellenistischen Religionsphilosophie (Ritus und Ethik des Herrenmahls, Anthropologie, Opfer, Weisheit, Selbsttäuschung und Selbsterkennntnis), sowie die Philosophen Dio von Prusa und Plutarch von Chaironeia bei der literarischen Behandlung ihrer eigenen Theologien (Religion und Ethik, Gottesverehrung und Gottesbild, Geschichte und Wunder, Apotheose und leeres Grab). Im Vergleich der Themen und Methoden wird exemplarisch deutlich, wie theologische Fragen nicht nur ein innerchristliches Reservat darstellen, sondern auch, wie Philosophen religiöse Fragen ihrer jeweiligen Tradition und Umwelt diskutieren.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Direct Internal Quotation in the Gospel of John
Book SynopsisCharacters in the Gospel of John quote and re-quote each other frequently, almost excessively, yet their quotations are rarely literal. These characters (including Jesus and the narrator) make changes - some minor, some major - even when they re-quote important sayings of Jesus. Jeffrey M. Tripp examines this often overlooked feature of the Fourth Gospel in the contexts of first century pedagogy and literature, as well as early Christian tradition and practices. Attending to John's direct internal quotations reveals a text at play with its christological and eschatological language, teasing out the fullest extent of its meaning. The Gospel of John emerges as a theological narrative anchored in yet unbound by the ideas of the wider early Christian movement.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Tyconius' Theological Reception of 2
Book SynopsisIn this volume, Karol Piotr Kulpa offers a coherent analysis of the reception of 2 Thess. 2:3-12 by Tyconius in his Liber Regularum and his reconstructed Expositio Apocalypseos . The author proposes and applies his own method for a reception history composed of historical, literary, and theological levels, which is constructive as well as analytical. In this way he writes a history of reception that not only finds its anchor in the past, but also builds bridges to theological questions of the present. In particular, the author identifies that motifs of homo peccati , mysterium facinoris , and discessio drawn from 2 Thess. 2:3 and 2:7 become Tyconius' "world-constructing verses" in his understanding of Scripture, and of the bipartition in the church's reality, in human nature, and in eschatological temporality. As a result, he offers a refreshingly 'ecumenical' reading of Tyconius, refusing to reduce his significance to that of a 'heretical voice' but re-envisaging him as a potentially authoritative theologian and exegete.
