The Book of Revelation and the Johannine Apocalyptic Tradition
ISBN: 9781841270739 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This original and unusual book investigates a continuing Johannine apocalyptic tradition, represented in three strange Greek texts that are also linked to a Coptic manuscript. None of the Greek texts has been published in recent years, and they have never been published together or associated in studies of Christian apocrypha. John Court, well known for his studies on Revelation, supplies the text of the Greek manuscripts, with English translations, introductions and detailed explanatory notes that set the texts and their ideas in the context of Christian views on the future and the...

New Testament Writers and the Old Testament
ISBN: 9781610970488 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How the Old Testament is used in the New Testament is currently a matter of fierce debate. Scholars argue about whether the early Christians, as readers and writers or hearers, would have known the Hebrew Bible by heart and the extent to which they would have acknowledged it as Scripture. Many modern translations of the Bible no longer include cross-references that indicate the sources of Old Testament quotations (or allusions) in New Testament writings. Students may therefore find it difficult to appreciate how much Old Testament material is included in the New Testament and to estimate the...

The Concept of Purity at Qumran and in the Letters of Paul
ISBN: 9780521020589 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This examination of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Letters of Paul finds that, in both these bodies of literature, religious self-understanding is expressed in terms of the concept of purity so important to primitive religion and earlier Judaism. Dr Newton contradicts the view held by most scholars that the traditional Jewish attitude to purity had no place in Christianity. By using the concept of purity not unlike that at Qumran or of Pharisaic and Rabbinic Judaism, Paul could elucidate his views on, among other things, the nature of the Church, the divine presence, the basis of ethical...

Theological Hermeneutics and 1 Thessalonians
ISBN: 9780521849838 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book proposes a theological reading of 1 Thessalonians, making an important response to the increasing demand to relate biblical scholarship more closely to theological concerns. Paddison's interpretation adheres very closely to the text and is divided into three parts. Part I offers a theological critique of dominant historical-critical readings of 1 Thessalonians. Part II examines the history of interpretation of 1 Thessalonians focusing on the pre-Modern exegesis of Thomas Aquinas and John Calvin. Paddison explores what theological exegetes can learn from Thomas Aquinas' Lectura and...

Feasting and Social Rhetoric in Luke 14
ISBN: 9780521018852 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The writer of the Gospel of Luke is a Hellenistic writer who uses conventional modes of narration, characterization and argumentation to present Jesus in the manner of the familiar figure of the dinner sage. In this original and thought-provoking study, Willi Braun draws both on social and literary evidence regarding the Greco-Roman elite banquet scene and on ancient prescribed methods of rhetorical composition to argue that the Pharisaic dinner episode in Luke 14 is a skillfully crafted rhetorical unit in which Jesus presents an argument for Luke's vision of a Christian society. His...

Israel in the Apostolic Church
ISBN: 9780521020466 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This historical study is concerned with the adoption by Christianity of Jewish prerogatives and attributes, and in particular with its assumption of the name 'Israel'. Dr Richardson's claim is that this was not a simple development, as it is usually conceived to be, but one which took place over a long period. The equation between the Church and the 'true Israel' does not occur, Dr Richardson argues, until the mid-second century in the works of Justin Martyr. The book is concerned mainly with an exegetical study of the New Testament passages relevant to the argument, concentrating on the...

The Spirit-Paraclete in the Gospel of John
ISBN: 9780521020503 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book attempts to make a contribution to the New Testament doctrine of the Spirit, with special reference to the paraclete problem. Dr Johnston begins with the use of the word 'spirit' in the Gospel of John and treats it as primarily 'impersonal'. It denotes divine power or energy. God acts by his spirit, both to create and to redeem. The Fourth Evangelist shows Jesus as the incarnate Word, a man uniquely inspired, whose absence after death is compensated for by an outburst of spiritual powers in his Church. The paraclete is representative of God or of Christ, and the Johannine teaching...

The Apocalypse and Semitic Syntax
ISBN: 9780521018784 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book offers a consistent explanation of the peculiarity of the language of the Apocalypse (or Book of Revelation), namely that the rules of Greek grammar are broken because of the influence of Hebrew and Aramaic. It advances previous similar hypotheses in three ways. First, it focuses chiefly on the verbal system. Secondly, by methodically citing the ancient Greek translations of the Old Testament to demonstrate Hebrew/Aramaic influence, it serves as a limited survey of the syntax of the Septuagint. Thirdly, it argues that the Apocalypse's grammar was influenced not by later...

Jesus and the Law in the Synoptic Tradition
ISBN: 9780521020534 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This monograph deals with a major problem of New Testament exegetical and related studies - the attitude of Jesus to the Mosaic Law. While much has been written on the subject, a fresh approach in the light of the insights of, for instance, redaction-criticism and our increased knowledge of attitudes to the Law in Inter-testamental Judaism has become overdue. Dr Banks' book is concerned centrally with a detailed exegesis of the texts in the first three Gospels relevant to the ethical teaching and practice of Jesus as it related to Jewish Law. This examination is preceded by an account of the...

Covenant and Sacrifice in the Letter to the Hebrews
ISBN: 9780521020626 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Among the problems which Hebrews poses for interpretation, its use of sacrificial terminology must cause it to seem remote and obscure. Although the recent work of social anthropologists on the nature of religious systems has been applied by Old Testament scholars to the laws and symbols of the Pentateuch this is the first sustained study of Hebrews to take account of these theories. Building on the work of such writers as Mary Douglas, Victor Turner, and Claude Levi-Strauss, Hebrews is approached here as a 'structure of symbols', in which the symbol-system of the Old Testament covenant is...

Revelation
ISBN: 9781850757054 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The first question is: Should Revelation be studied at all? Is it monopolised by fundamentalists, or of such a minority interest that it doesn't belong in the New Testament? This study guide introduces the text anew by a series of thematic readings. The text is seen to deal with essential themes-God and Christ, the Church in the World, Creation and the end of the Universe, Politics and Rival Powers, and the Future Hope. Special attention is paid to the living traditions within which Revelation is interpreted, including art, literature and music. Not only does this guide seek to orientate...

The Problem of the Text of Acts
ISBN: 9780521018807 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Some manuscripts of the book of Acts have a slightly longer version of the book that is familiar to us, a version called the Western Text, which is made up of small amounts of additional material scattered throughout the work. Various theories have been proposed to account for the existence of the Western Text, although no real consensus has emerged. In recent years this material, long thought to be inauthentic, has been reexamined by a number of scholars who have come to the conclusion that it may derive from Luke, the author of Acts. This study puts forward the ingenious thesis that Luke...
