Opis

Five introductory essays open this volume. (1) In a rather long article the biblical idea of "covenant" is analyzed for use in a retreat or a reformation of life. (2) The second article examines the meaning of greatness and service in the synoptic gospels, especially in Mark, but also in its probable employment by Jesus. (3) In the third brief essay the attributive and predicative employments of the adjective "crucified" are distinguished. (4) In the fourth note brief texts are put forward and illustrated for reflection. (5) The fifth text offers a brief meditation on Psalm 63. There follow forty-five brief notes that address issues from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. In the last section, the notes address issues from the letters, from Romans to 1 John. This third volume of "Intended Sense in Scripture" is decidedly pastoral but also, once again, searching for the intention of the writer, for the authorial meaning.
