The Prophet Jesus and the Renewal of Israel: Moving Beyond a Diversionary Debate
ISBN: 9780802868077 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 161 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Debate over whether or not Jesus can be best interpreted within an -apocalyptic scenario- has continued to dominate historical Jesus studies since Schweitzer and Bultmann. In The Prophet Jesus and the Renewal of Israel Richard Horsley shows that the apocalyptic scenario -- with its supposed expectation of -the end of the world, - the fiery -last judgment, - and -the parousia of the Son of Man- -- is a modern scholarly construct that obscures the particulars of texts, society, and history.
Drawing on his wide-ranging earlier scholarship, Horsley refocuses and reformulates... Debate over whether or not Jesus can be best interpreted within an -apocalyptic scenario- has continued to dominate historical Jesus studies since Sch...

Judaism and Christianity both arose in times of empire, with roots in Persian, Hellenistic, and Roman periods.

Abingdon New Testament Commentaries: 1 Corinthians
ISBN: 9780687058389 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This commentary highlights both the socio-political context of 1 Corinthians and the clash of significantly different religious viewpoints represented by Paul and the congregation he had founded in Corinth. In particular, Richard Horsley shows that this letter provides a window through which one may view the tension between the Corinthians' interest in cultivating individual spirituality and the apostle's concern for building up a social-religious community devoted to the common advantage, for the flourishing both of personal dignity and a humanizing solidarity. This commentary highlights both the socio-political context of 1 Corinthians and the clash of significantly different religious viewpoints represen... |

Horsley offers one of the most comprehensive critical analyses of Jesus of Nazareth's mission and how he became a significant historical figure. In his study Horsley brings a fuller historical knowledge of the context and implications of recent research to bear on the investigation of the historical Jesus.

The Bible tells the stories of many empires, and many are still considered some of the largest of the ancient and classical world: the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Persians, the Greeks, and finally the Romans. In this provocative book, nine experts bring a critical analysis of these world empires in the background of the Old and New Testaments. As they explain, the Bible developed againstthe context of these empires, providing concrete meaning to the countercultural claims of Jews and Christians that their God was the true King, the real Emperor. Each chapter describes how to... The Bible tells the stories of many empires, and many are still considered some of the largest of the ancient and classical world: the Assyrians, t... |

Paul and the Roman Imperial Order
ISBN: 9781563384219 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The five articles and Simon Price's response at the core of this book were originally papers delivered in a session of the Paul and Politics Group at the 2000 SBL Annual Meeting. There are a number of special features that make this a special combination of articles on Paul in what is turning out to be a highly suggestive new perspective and context, the ancient Roman imperial order. First, these articles are all informed by and respond in some way to the ground-breaking work of Simon Price on the Roman imperial cult in Greek cities, some of the very cities in which Paul carried out his...
