Download or read book The Social World of Jesus and the Gospels written by Bruce J. Malina and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to interpret historical writings, the reader must not employ their modern understanding of the world, but must strive to grasp the mindset of the original audience. To assist the twentieth-century New Testament reader in understanding the literal meaning of the New Testament is the goal of this collection of essays. The Social World of Jesus and the Gospels provides the reader with a set of possible scenarios for reading the New Testament: How did first-century persons think about themselves and others? Did they think Jesus was a charismatic leader? Why did they call God 'father'? Were they concerned with their gender roles? The eight essays in this collection were previously published in books and journals generally not available to many readers. Carefully selected and edited, this collection will be both an introduction and an invaluable source of reference to Bruce Malina's thought.

Download or read book Violence in the New Testament written by Shelly Matthews and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-03-09 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While much work has been done on the role of Jews in the crucifixion of Jesus in post-Holocaust biblical scholarship, the question of violence in subsequent community formation remains largely unexamined. New Testament passages suggesting that early Christ-believers were violently persecuted--the "stone throwing" passages from John, the "persecuted from town to town" passages in Matthew, the stoning of Stephen in Acts, Paul's hardship catalogue in II Corinthians, etc.-- are frequently read positivistically as windows onto first century persecution; at the other extreme, they are sometimes dismissed as completely a-historical. In either case, scholars up until now have provided little in the way of methodological reflection on how they have reached such conclusions. A further problematic issue in previous readings of passages suggesting such violence is that the perpetrators of violence are frequently cast as "Jews" while the violated are cast as "Christians," in spite of the growing consensus that it is impossible to tease out these two distinct and separate religious identities, Jew and Christian, from first century texts. This volume takes up crucial methodological questions about how to read passages suggesting violence among Jews in texts that eventually became part of the New Testament canon. It situates this intra-religious violence within the violence of the Roman Imperial order. It provides new readings of these texts that move beyond the "Jew as violator"/"Christian as violated" binary.
Download or read book Sacra Pagina First and Second Thessalonians written by Earl J. Richard and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The letters First and Second Thessalonians are traditionally associated with the Pauline foundation of the Macedonian Church at Thessalonica. The first is seen as representing Paul's earliest epistolary efforts and as providing two successive moments in his long relationship as advisor to that community. Soon after leaving the area for the southern province of Achaia, Paul addresses the concerns of the new Gentile converts and at a later period responds more directly to queries received from the thriving and successful community. The second document, written in Paul's name and at a later date, attempts to calm the apocalyptic fervor of the community by reiterating its traditional eschatological and Christological teaching. After treating these introductory matters, this study provides a new translation of each section of the canonical text, explains in notes the pertinent textual and linguistic features of the text, and then offers in a series of interpretive messages a literary, rhetorical, and thematic analysis of the biblical documents. The constant concern of this commentary is to provide assistance to modern readers in discerning the relationship between the authors and their intended readers. Short bibliographies suggest other important modern studies.

Download or read book Greek Rhetorical Origins of Christian Faith written by James L. Kinneavy and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1987 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the true of Christian faith? Are the roots of this concept the same in both the Old and New Testaments? With semantic, historical, and analytic evidence, Kinneavy develops his hypothesis that the origin of some major aspects of the Christian concept of faith - pistis in Greek- can be traced to Greek classical rhetoric. Kinneavy presents his case cumulatively, with each stage differing substantially from traditional scholarship. He begins by examining the notion of faith formulated by eight major Christian and Jewish theologians, demonstrating that faith and rhetorical persuasion share certain important semantic elements which have made it possible for reach to accommodate the other. The book goes on to present a meticulous cas for the historical influence of Greek rhetoric on Hebraic thought, specifically in the writers of the New Testament. Contending that the effects of Hellenization were strongly felt, particularly in the areas of Palestinian education and civic life, his analysis opposes the prevailing isolation theories of early Christianity. Kinneavy concludes with a novel rhetorical study of the everal hundred occurences of the Greek terms for "faith" and "to believe," searching for evidence of the contemporary meaning of persuasion, and emerging with overwhelming support for the Greek influence on Christian faith. A controversial and clearly argued work, Greek rhetorical origins of Christian faith is a very original attempt to answer the age-old question "whence does faith spring?" and is an important contribution to the history of rhetoric.-- Front flap.
