Download or read book Reconsidering the Rhetoric of Temporality in Johannine Literature written by Chang Seong An and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2023-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, Chang Seon An argues that the writer(s) of the Gospel of John used Greek, Roman, and Jewish temporality to align the story of Jesus's death and resurrection within existing temporal frameworks. The Johannine Epistles built on this rhetoric, linking the imagined audience with the time of Christ genealogically and temporally, distancing them from a targeted "anti-Christ." This "shared sense of time" informed the literatures and practices of a group of Johannine Christians known as the "Quartodecimans." Temporality calculations were central for Christian self-definition: time was a way of elaborating forms of sameness and difference, and claiming an elevated role for Christ. Christ-followers debated what time can mean. If the imagined audiences of Christian, Jewish, Greek, and Roman works adopted the temporal schemes they defended, differences among and between groups would become obvious.
Download or read book Epicureanism and the Gospel of John written by Fergus J. King and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel of John and Epicureanism share vocabulary and reject the conventions of Graeco-Roman theology. Would it then have been easy for an Epicurean to become a Christian or vice-versa? Fergus J. King suggests that such claims become unlikely when detailed analyses of the two traditions are set out and compared. The first step in his examination looks at evidence for potential engagement between the two traditions historically and geographically. Both traditions address concerns about the good life, death, and the divine. However, this correspondence soon unravels as their worldviews are far from identical. Shared terms (like Saviour), their respective rituals, and teaching about community life reveal substantial differences in ethos and behaviour.
Download or read book Hidden Criticism written by Christoph Heilig and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a counter-imperial message beneath the surface of the text in Paul? Christoph Heilig analyzes the letters of the apostle and concludes that the hypothesis that we can identify critical "echoes" of the Roman Empire in Paul's letters needs to be modified for it to be maintained.
Download or read book The Formative Stratum of the Sayings Gospel Q written by Llewellyn Howes and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Llewellyn Howes analyses the formative stratum of the Sayings Gospel Q, arguing for the inclusion of traditionally excluded texts. Novel interpretations of certain Q texts enable the author to reconsider the overarching message of Q's earliest redactional layer. This results in interesting and important consequences for our understanding of Jesus as a historical figure.

Download or read book The Crucified Apostle written by Todd A. Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter and Paul have fascinated Christians since the first century. Though often pitted against one another in scholarship and popular imagination, they respected one another. In seventeen essays the contributors probe enduring issues in ways that provide fresh insights. They strive to advance New Testament scholarship by addressing Peter and Paul's historical interaction, their intertextual exegesis, and Paul's view of Pastoral Theology. Their focus on intertextuality reflects Peter's and Paul's saturation in scripture and their focus on Jewish and Gentile relationships seeks to foster unity in church and culture. Contributors: Michael Allen, Christopher A. Beetham, John Dennis, Wesley Hill, Paul R. House, Panagiotis Kantartzis, Alexander N. Kirk, Sean McDonough, Douglas C. Mohrmann, Elizabeth E. Shively, Peter Stuhlmacher, Joel White, William N. Wilder, H. H. Drake Williams III, Joel Willitts, Todd A. Wilson, Jeff Wisdom

Book excerpt: In 1 Cor 8-10, Paul provides instruction about interactions with idols, and his practical instruction is based on his theology, which was adopted from Hellenistic Judaism and adapted radically in the light of Jesus Christ. Trent A. Rogers shows that understanding Paul's ethical reasoning is helped significantly by understanding how he and his predecessors represent God in their arguments. - back of book.
Download or read book Martyred for the Church written by Justin Buol and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Justin Buol analyzes the writings connected with the deaths of Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp of Smyrna, and Pothinus of Lyons in light of earlier accounts of the noble deaths of military, political, and religious leaders from Greco-Roman literature and the Bible, which record benefits accruing to a group on account of its leader's death. The author argues that the accounts of these three bishops' martyrdoms draw upon those prior models in order to portray the bishops as dying to unite, protect, and strengthen the Church, oppose false teaching and apostasy, and solidify the teaching role of the episcopal office. Finally, by providing a foundation for Irenaeus to argue for apostolic succession, these second-century bishop martyrs also help form a lasting contribution to the growth of episcopal power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Download or read book Mark a Pauline Theologian written by Mar Pérez I Diaz and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2020-07-27 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Is the wide range of indications in the Gospel of Mark for the influence of Pauline theology the fruit of chance or rather of the will of the Evangelist to unify his work with the thought of the Apostle Paul? In this study, Mar Pérez i Días argues that Mark, rather than being a disciple of Peter who puts in writing what he remembers from his preaching, is a theological disciple of Paul." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How was poverty interpreted in the New Testament? David J.

Download or read book The Church in the Wilderness written by Carla Swafford Works and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2014 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much attention has been devoted to Paul's quotations from the Old Testament, but little attention has been given to Paul's use of biblical narratives. The most extensive use of scripture in 1 Corinthians involves an allusion to Israel's exodus (10:1-22), which contains only one quotation (1 Cor 10:7). Since there is much debate on how to identify scriptural allusions, Carla Works examines two passages where there is overwhelming scholarly consensus regarding the presence of exodus imagery: 1 Corinthians 5:6-8 and 10:1-22. These passages, therefore, provide an ideal place to consider how Paul is using Israel's exodus traditions to instruct a predominantly non-Jewish congregation. The author argues that the exodus tradition, a tradition used to bolster Israel's identity and to teach Israel about the identity of God, is reinterpreted by Paul in light of Christ and is employed to foster the identity formation of the Corinthians as the church of "one God and one Lord" (1 Cor 8:6).
Download or read book Repetition in Hebrews written by Nicholas J. Moore and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Letter to the Hebrews lies at the heart of a tradition that views repetition as a uniformly negative phenomenon. Nicholas Moore argues that repetition in fact has a variety of functions in the letter, including an essential role in the believer's appropriation of the eternally valid work of Christ. (Publisher).
Download or read book Eschatology of the New Testament and Some Related Documents written by Jan G. van der Watt and published by Mohr Siebrek Ek. This book was released on 2011 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays explores the variety of views on eschatology in the New Testament - analyzing it book by book - as well as in some related documents. The authors treat different aspects of eschatology, exploring the history of research, as well as the multiple dimensions of eschatological issues, the variety, depth, mystery and problematic nature thereof. As such this volume offers a comprehensive view of the intricacies, differences, similarities and possibilities that arise when the issue of eschatology is addressed.

Download or read book The Sayings Gospel Q in Greek and English written by James McConkey Robinson and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sayings Gospel Q in Greek and English with Parallels from the Gospels of Mark and Thomas is the outcome of a generation's work by the International Q Project, in reconstructing the collection of sayings ascribed to Jesus (and some to John) that lies behind the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. It thus makes available in a convenient form the most important source for reconstructing the message of Jesus' original Galilean followers, as they proclaimed anew after his death his message of God's reign. Q is, as a result, the most important single source for the study of the historical Jesus. It should be in the hands of every student of theology and of every layperson seriously interested in knowing more about Jesus. This small volume presents, on facing pages, the Greek and English reconstruction of the text of Q. It is in a simplified and more readable format than its original massive publication of 1990, The Critical Edition of Q: Synopsis including the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, Mark and Thomas with English, German and French Translations of Q and Thomas, edited by James M. Robinson, Paul Hoffmann, and John S. Kloppenborg, Managing Editor Milton C. Moreland, at Peeters and Fortress Press.
