An honest, probing look at the dynamics of the New Testament--in relation to problems that disconcert Jews and Christians today.

Despite the New Testament's impact on Jewish history, virtually all Jews avoid knowledge of its underlying dynamics. Jewish families and communities thus remain needlessly stymied when responding to a deeply Christian culture. Their Christian friends, meanwhile, are left perplexed as to why Jews are wary of the Gospel's "good news."

This long-awaited volume offers an unprecedented solution-oriented introduction to Jesus and Paul, the Gospels...

An in-depth look at the Christian scriptures--from a Jewish perspective.

Many Jewish people know the New Testament only through snippets of verse heard at a Christian wedding or funeral, or through a chapter read in literature class. Many are completely unfamiliar with the meaning or messages of Christian scripture and therefore hold strange or startling judgments about it.

A Jewish Understanding of the New Testament introduces the text to Jewish readers. Samuel Sandmel applies scholarly criticism and provides historical background to the writings of the New...

Die Diskussion um die Anfange der Transitus-Mariae-Literatur (apokryphe Uberlieferungen uber Leben und Sterben der Mutter Jesu) ist gepragt von zwei Hypothesen. Wahrend die dogmengeschichtlich gepragte Hypothese die Entfaltung dieser Literatur im Rahmen der dogmatischen Lehrentwicklung sieht, sieht ein alternativer Zugang die Ursprunge dieser Literatur im heterodoxen Bereich. Ein Fragment eines offensichtlich sehr alten koptischen Textes wirft die Frage auf, ob die dogmengeschichtliche Hypothese die Entstehung der Literatur zu spat ansetzt, wahrend gleichzeitig der Ursprung im heterodoxen...

Johannine Exegesis of God is a stimulating study of the explicit and implicit theological language of the Johannine community. It exegetically explores crucial questions concerning the Fourth Evangelist's language used to characterize God. It makes a sojourn into the relationship between Johannine Christology and Theology. It examines the dialogue dynamics of a theological conversation between those who do not share the same theological affirmations, and enumerates how the Johannine community derives benefit, becomes enriched and learns inclusiveness through its dialogue/conflict with its...

Der Autor stellt anhand einer Analyse antiker Vorstellungen und Begriffe vom Lehrer, Schuler und Studenten Ausbildungswege, Bildungsideale und literarische Bildung in hellenistischer Zeit dar. Vor diesem weiten Hintergrund und mit Blick auf die Herkunft des Paulus wird anschlieend Paulus' Bildungsgang diskutiert. Analysen seiner Briefe (besonders 1 Kor 7 und 2 Kor 10 - 13) belegen seine hohe Textkompetenz, so dass eine literarische und rhetorische Bildung vorausgesetzt werden muss.

Despite the striking frequency with which the Greek word kyrios, Lord, occurs in Luke's Gospel, this study is the first comprehensive analysis of Luke's use of this word. The analysis follows the use of kyrios in the Gospel from beginning to end in order to trace narratively the complex and deliberate development of Jesus' identity as Lord. Detailed attention to Luke's narrative artistry and his use of Mark demonstrates that Luke has a nuanced and sophisticated christology centered on Jesus' identity as Lord.
