Durch die vielfaltigen Schriftallusionen in Lk 1f. wird deutlich gemacht, da das lukanische Doppelwerk als Fortschreibung der "Schriften" (= des AT) verstanden werden will. Die auf Jesus und sein Geschick bezogenen Schrift-Zitate im lukanischen Doppelwerk, die sich nahezu ausschlielich im Mund von Erzahlfiguren befinden, sind in Lk 1-23 uberwiegend proleptisch und in Lk 24 sowie der Apostelgeschichte uberwiegend analeptisch ausgerichtet. Dreh- und Angelpunkt sind die Reden des Auferstandenen in Lk 24, mit Hilfe derer vor allem Petrus zum Glauben kommt.

Zwei koptische Handschriften biblischen Inhalts aus der Papyrus-Sammlung der Universitat von Michigan werden hier, versehen mit einer deutschen Ubersetzung, erstmals ediert. Ausfuhrliche Indices erschlieen die beiden Papyri.

Papyrus Michigan 3520 enthalt die biblischen Bucher Ecclesiastes, 1. Johannesbrief und 2. Petrusbrief in einer fruhen Spielart des Fayumischen (Dialekt V4). Die Handschrift stammt wahrscheinlich aus der ersten Halfte des 4. Jahrhunderts und ist schon allein durch ihr hohes Alter von auerordentlichem wissenschaftlichen Rang- sowohl fur die...

This series is designed for those who know biblical languages. It is written primarily for the pastor and Bible teacher, not for the scholar. That is, the aim is not to review and offer a critique of every possible interpretation that has ever been given to a passage, but to exegete each passage of Scripture succinctly in its grammatical and historical context. Each passage is interpreted in the light of its biblical setting, with a view to grammatical detail, literary context, flow of biblical argument, and historical setting. While the focus will not be on application, it is expected...

With attention to issues that continue to surface in today's church, the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series offers pastors, students, and teachers a focused resource for reading, teaching, and preaching the Book of Acts.

Acts highlights (1) the work of God through the exalted Jesus who grants the presence of the Holy Spirit; (2) the significance of Jesus who is Israel's Messiah and the Savior of the world and who directs the expansion of the church; (3) the work of the Holy Spirit as transforming power present in the lives of the followers of Jesus...

Als Vermittler zwischen dem lateinischen Epos, wie es in Vergils "Aeneis" idealtypische Form gefunden hat, und der Bibel als dem Buch der fur Christen einzigen und unverbuchlichen Wahrheit gehort das Bibelepos seit der Spatantike zu den vitalsten literarischen Genera. Es wurde sowohl in der lateinischen Gelehrtensprache als auch in den Volkssprachen gepflegt und bildete mit der Epyllion, der Versparaphrase, der Harmonie und dem am "ordo artificialis" orientierten Epos im engeren Sinne qualitativ wie quantitativ unterschiedene poetische Formen aus.
Die vorliegende Studie widmet sich...

1 and 2 Thessalonians is another release in the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series--the only commentary series with a graphical display, theology in application section and identification of the main idea for each section.

Designed for the pastor and Bible teacher, the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament brings together commentary features rarely gathered in one volume. Written by notable evangelical scholars, each volume treats the literary context and structure of the passage in the original Greek and each author provides an...

The Pastoral Epistles present difficult questions for the modern interpreter, including such matters as their authorship, literary characteristics, and social orientations. Raymond Collins carefully leads the reader through the texts of these three documents, attending to the flow of the Pastor's thought and locating it within the Jewish and Hellenistic culture of his day.

The New Testament Library offers authoritative commentary on every book and major aspect of the New Testament, as well as classic volumes of scholarship. The commentaries in this series provide fresh translations...

The strangest book of the New Testament, filled with visions of the Rapture, the whore of Babylon, and apocalyptic writing of the end of times, the Book of Revelation has fascinated readers for more than two thousand years, but where did it come from? And what are the meanings of its surreal images of dragons, monsters, angels, and cosmic war?

It has often been observed that Jesus' filial obedience is an important Matthean theme. In this work the author argues that the articulation of Jesus as Son of God in Matthew is significantly influenced by the Deuteronomic concept of obedient sonship.
After noting the complexities of Matthew's use of Scripture - including the subtle ways he engages texts - Deuteronomy's pervasive influence in ancient Judaism and Christianity is considered. It is argued that the requirement of Israel's covenantal obedience as God's son(s) is a major concern in Deuteronomy, as well as in other Jewish...

Although our human emotions greatly influence our lives, there have been few studies of emotions in biblical texts. Hence the 2010 meeting of the International Society for the Study of Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature in Salzburg (Austria) was devoted to the topic of Emotions, Feelings, and Affects within Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature . This pioneering volume arising from the conference includes medical, musical, philosophical, historical, archaeological, literary, and theological studies of emotions, with a major focus on biblical and related texts.

In this book a group of international scholars explains in detail “how John works,” that is, how the author uses a variety of narrative strategies to tell his story in a compelling manner. More than a commentary, How John Works offers a glimpse at the way an ancient author created and used narrative features such as genre, character, style, persuasion, and even time and space to shape a dramatic story of the life of Jesus. The essays in this volume not only explore fifteen features of story design found in the Gospel of John; they also can be used as starting points...
