This is a theological commentary on the Greek text; on the foundation of linguistic detail is based a doctrinal exposition. The first section of the Introduction is on the religious ideas of the epistles, and frequent allusion is made throughout the commentary to works on New Testament theology. There are special notes on many of the important theological terms such as ?knowledge?, ?mystery?, pleroma, as well as on linguistic points, such as the use of the reflexive pronoun. But attention is devoted also to critical and introductory matters, and this is, it is believed, the first commentary...

The student or translator of the New Testament will often find difficulties which can only be solved by considering the syntax of the passage concerned. Professor Moule here provides a reference book which gives guidance on such problems of exegesis. It is a work which presupposes a knowledge of Greek and makes frequent allusions to the standard works; it is intended primarily for theological students. After an introductory section on ?The Language of the New Testament? Professor Moule considers in turn particular syntactical divisions (tenses, moods, voices, cases), certain parts of speech...

This volume on Mark??'s Gospel is one of the series of commentaries on the New English Bible designed for use in schools and training colleges, and for the layman. Each volume will comment on one book, or two or three short books, of the Bible, beginning with the New Testament, already published. In each the text will be given in full. Sections of text and commentary alternate, so that the reader does not have to keep two books open, or turn from one part of the book to the other, or refer to a commentary in small type at the foot of the page. Great care is being taken to see that the...

This book is about the processes by which Christians of the first century came to understand Jesus as they did. Some writers represent these as 'evolutionary', as though a merely human teacher came to be thought of as a divine figure (a new species, so to speak). Professor Moule suggests that 'development' is a preferable analogy, implying not the evolution of a new species of figure, but the development of understanding of what was there in Jesus from the beginning. The author re-examines four familiar characterizations of Jesus as 'the Son of Man', 'the Son of God', 'Christ' and 'Lord';...

During resent years, the Christian church has taken stock of its beliefs. In the course of the last century, Christian theology has had many challenges to meet and has not remained unchanged by the encounter. There have been radical questionnings of almost every aspect of doctrine. Yet people are more willing now than ever to listen to constructive voices.Christians are in search of a way to articulate faith in God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, hold convitions about the nature of man and his destiny, and show the relevance of belief to conduct. The author gives a plain and intellectual...

C.F.D. Moule shows how the earliest Christian writing developed as a response to the daily demands of Christian life in societies indifferent or even hostile to Christianity, and how the selection of certain writings to constitute the basis of Christian belief was a response to specific needs.

Few twentieth-century scholars have made so broad and deep a contribution to our understanding of the New Testament as the former Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, the Rev. C. F. D. Moule. This selection of his essays, almost all already published in specialist journals and Festschriften, represents in one volume the whole range of Professor Moule's contribution to New Testament studies. Two are studies in linguistic matters, several concern aspects of the theology of the New Testament, some are concerned with matters historical and literary. They deal with such central...

This collection of studies is unified by two main themes of Professor John Knox's own work. It is therefore in two parts: the first - 'Problems of History and Faith' - deals with questions related to the historicity of Jesus Christ, his humanity, and his place as the turning-point of history for the Christian. The second part: ' Chapters in Paul's Life and Thought' considers questions of Pauline interpretation. The division is functional only, for a concern with the nature of history, memory and the Christian community runs through the whole book. The editors have aimed to produce a coherent...
