Reading in the Presence of Christ: A Study of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Bibliology and Exegesis

Joel Banman, Independent Scholar, Canada

Bearing Sin as Church Community Bonhoeffer's Hamartiology

Hyun Joo Kim, Torch Trinity Graduate University, Korea

What is Scripture, and how should we read it? And what might 20th-century theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, have to teach us about these important questions? This study reassesses some of Bonhoeffer's key exegetical writings in light of his theology of revelation and bibliology, unfolding the ways in which his reading of the Bible is determined by his theology of Scripture. Accordingly, the guiding question of this study is how Bonhoeffer's bibliology informs his exegesis.

Claims that Bonhoeffer transforms and reconstructs the Augustinian doctrine of original sin by shifting the hamartiological premise from the doctrine of God to the doctrine of the church based on his Lutheran resources. In Bonhoeffer’s view, Augustine’s doctrine of original sin does not fully relate the doctrine of sin to the responsibility of the saints. Interestingly, in order to reform Augustinian hamartiology, Bonhoeffer appropriates Augustine’s notion of the Church as the whole Christ (totus Christus), which is located in Augustine’s ecclesiology.

The Letters of Barsanuphius and John Desert Wisdom for Everyday Life

John Chryssavgis, Office of Ecumenical and Inter-Faith Affairs of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, USA Starting with the general context of early monastic life and thought, Chryssavgis eloquently guides the reader through fundamental principles of ascetic discipline and spirituality, to the exceptional teaching of Barsanupius and John on compassion and community.

Reading with Earth: Contributions of the New Materialism to an Ecological Feminist Hermeneutics

Anne Elvey, University of Divinity, Australia Applying a re-envisioned ecological feminist hermeneutics, this book builds on two important responses to 20th- and 21st-century situations of ecological trauma, especially the complex contexts of climate change and cross-species relations. The first is ecological feminism; the second is ecological hermeneutics in the Earth Bible tradition. Such an approach is both informed by and speaks back to the new materialism in ecological criticism.

The Origin of Humanity and Evolution

Science and Scripture in Conversation Andrew Ter Ern Loke, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong Proposes a model which argues that all humans today have Adam as common ancestor, and through this model, Andrew Ter Ern Loke argues that the theory of evolution as understood by mainstream scientists is compatible with Scripture. Whilst affirming that the Bible should be interpreted according to proper hermeneutical principles such as considering the literary genre, literary context, meaning of words, grammatical relationship, and the background and concerns of the ancient authors, this book also assesses the scientific data according to proper mainstream scientific methodology.

Horizons of Ancestral Inheritance

Commentary on the Levi, Qahat, and Amram Qumran Aramaic Traditions Andrew B. Perrin, Athabasca University, Canada In this study of the Aramaic materials at Qumran, Andrew B. Perrin examines the Aramaic Levi Document, Words of Qahat, and Visions of Amram, showing how they exhibit a concentration of priestly concerns and knowledge and exploring new models for evaluating their potential textual or traditional connections. Perrin includes a comprehensive commentary on the conceptual elements, codicological features, and cultural contexts of the materials. He concludes with fresh analysis of the textual composition of these priestly pseudepigrapha, suggesting they are a “constellation” of texts developed within a larger world of scribal-priestly activity and traditions.

The Conflict between Faith and Experience and the Shape of Psalms 73-83 Stephen J. Smith, Belhaven University, USA

Entering the lively discussion of canonical or editorial-criticism of the Hebrew Psalter, this is a detailed investigation into one of its constituent collections, Psalms 73-83. It addresses scholarly disagreement over this collection’s structure, the degree and nature of its literary unity, and its primary message. Smith argues that Psalms 73–82 – and potentially 83 – are deliberately arranged to resolve the disorienting collision between Israel’s faith, traditional theology and the experience of God’s prolonged absence amid the sixth-century exilic crisis.

1 and 2 Kings as a Work of Political Historiography

Provides a new literary reading of the Book of Kings, including a new proposal for the literary structure of the book that overcomes some of the issues widely discussed in scholarship on the Deuteronomistic History. It interacts with a wide range of critical scholarship and offers fresh readings of passages that contribute to some of the ongoing debates. It also considers several novel ideas concerning the theology of the book of Kings—including developing a remnant theme which has not been widely utilised in scholarship— and new thoughts on the issue of centralisation of worship and kingship.

Achaemenid Ideology and Community Identity in Ezra-Nehemiah

This book examines community identity in the post-exilic temple community in Ezra-Nehemiah, and explores the possible influences that the Achaemenids, the ruling Persian dynasty, might have had on its construction. In the book, David Janzen reads Ezra-Nehemiah in dialogue with the Achaemenids’ Old Persian inscriptions, as well as with other media the dynasty used, such as reliefs, seals, coins, architecture, and imperial parks. In addition, he discusses the cultural and religious background of Achaemenid thought, especially its intersections with Zoroastrian beliefs.

Do You Not Know? Do You Not Hear? Jim W. Adams, LIFE Pacific College, USA

This book sets out to describe the multidimensional nature and function of rhetorical questions in the Old Testament. Biblical scholars have previously analyzed the use of rhetorical questions in both Testaments, but consistently describe their function in persuasive terms. While this understanding is appropriate in a number of instances, many rhetorical questions do not operate this way, and Jim W. Adams focuses in particular on rhetoric expressing the self-involvement of both the speaker and hearer.

T&T Clark Handbook to the Historical Paul

Edited by Ryan S. Schellenberg, Methodist School of Theology in Ohio, USA & Heidi Wendt, McGill University, Canada This handbook gathers together leading voices on individual aspects of Paul’s biography. The contributors examine how recent trends in Pauline scholarship have reopened and reconsidered Paul’s personal history questioning –among other things -- his social location, his level of education and cultural formation, his place within Judaism and his place alongside other travellers and “freelance religious experts”, other ecstatics, exegetes and diviners. Part one surveys sources and methods; part two examines key biographical questions; and part three reconstructs potential "micro-biographies" from the letters associated with Paul.

Women of the Bible From Text to Image

Edited by Guadalupe Seijas, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain The Hebrew Bible and art are at the core of this book, which analyzes the iconographic representation of several women of the Bible. The contributors consider the ways in which the biblical texts regarding these women have been read and understood through time and the means by which they have been represented. By examining figures such as Bathsheba, Moses' Mother, Pharoah's Daughter, Ruth and Naomi, the book also explores the different values associated with these representations according to the problems, worries and concerns of each period.

From the Passion to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre

Memories of Jesus in Place, Pilgrimage, and Early Holy Sites Over the First Three Centuries Jordan J. Ryan, Wheaton College, USA A historical and archaeological examination of how memories of Jesus are preserved, crystallized, and interpreted in place, pilgrimage, and holy sites from the first to fourth centuries. Jordan J. Ryan builds a much-needed bridge between the first and fourth centuries of Christian memory in Judea and Galilee. This book examines the history and archaeology of early Christian holy sites and traditions connected with specific places, in order to understand these sites as interpretations of Jesus and to explore them as instantiations of memories of him.

A Case Frame Grammar and Lexicon for the Book of Revelation Paul L. Danove, Villanova University, USA

Paul Danove presents a case-frame grammar and lexicon for the Book of Revelation, with three major goals. He first provides a step-by-step introduction to Case Frame analysis, incorporating various adaptations and extensions to address the needs of the study of the Greek of the New Testament. He then supplies a comprehensive Case Frame grammar and description of the syntactic, semantic, and lexical requirements that each predicator imposes on its complements. Finally, Danove generates a Case Frame lexicon that guides the interpretation and translation of each predicator occurrence in its grammatical contexts.

Luke in His Own Words

A Study of the Language of Luke–Acts in Greek Jenny Read-Heimerdinger, University of Wales Trinity Saint David, UK An examination of the language of Luke-Acts that draws out aspects of the author's use of Greek that traditional approaches have not accounted for. These include variation in word order, alternative spellings and fine distinctions between synonyms. Drawing on recent developments in linguistics, broadly referred to as ‘discourse analysis’, Read-Heimerdinger shows how paying close attention to the context of language is important for understanding reasons behind an author’s choices.

The Formal Education of the Author of Luke-Acts Steve Reece, St Olaf College, USA

Steve Reece argues that the author of Luke-Acts was aware of many literary works that formed a part of basic Hellenistic literate education, and makes his case by proving that many Greek authors were well known (from papyrological and citational data) at the likely time of Luke’s composition. By focusing solely upon LukeActs, Reece is able to explore the evident Hellenistic education of the author, including the content of the curriculum, and the papyrological evidence of school exercises, his potential familiarity with Greek authors, and the influence of each of these major authors upon his work.

Encountering the Parables in Contexts Old and New

Edited by T. E. Goud, University of New Brunswick in Saint John, Canada, J.R.C. Cousland, University of British Columbia, Canada & John P. Harrison, Oklahoma Christian University, USA Contributors pursue three important lines of enquiry into parable study, in order to compare how these lessons have been received throughout the millennia. The books considers both the historical and material world of the parables’ composition, and focuses on the social, political, economic, and material elements of that world. It not only explores how the parables may have been seen and heard in ancient contexts but also considers the lessons they have imparted to subsequent and contemporary listeners.

Paul’s Use of the Old Testament in Romans 9.19-24

An Intertextual and Theological Exegesis Brian J. Abasciano, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, USA Brian Abasciano continues his project examining the use of the Old Testament in Romans 9. By employing thorough traditional exegesis, Abasciano creates a comprehensive analysis of Paul's use of Scripture against the background of interpretive traditions surrounding the texts that this volume alludes to. Abasciano places special emphasis on analysis of the original contexts of Paul's citations and allusions.

The Pauline Book and the Dilemma of Ephesians

Benjamin Petroelje, Western Theological Seminary, USA Argues that how one reads Ephesians is a function of deeper questions about how to read the Pauline book. Using Ephesians 3:1-13 as a point of analysis, Petroelje theorizes that the text’s “image of Paul” not only anticipates recent revisionist interpretations of Paul’s Jewish identity and gentile gospel, but also holds together tensions in the collection itself surrounding these questions. By assessing ancient letter collections beside their own hermeneutical priorities, and applying this method to the late-antique and modern reception of the corpus Paulinum, Petroelje historicizes the origins of the split of Paul's corpus.

Early Christianity and the Ethiopic Textual Tradition Edited by Meron Gebreananaye, Durham University, UK, Francis Watson, University of Durham, UK & Logan Williams, Durham University, UK.

Dating Acts in its Jewish and Greco-Roman Contexts Karl Leslie Armstrong, McMaster Divinity College, Canada

This book highlights the significance of a group of five texts excluded from the standard Christian Bible and preserved only in Ge‘ez, the classical language of Ethiopia. By focusing on texts valued by early Christian readers, the contributors break down the distinction between “Old Testament pseudepigrapha” and “New Testament apocrypha”, thus demonstrating the significance of the Ethiopic Christian tradition and its uniquely inclusive perspective on canonical literature.

Addresses the long-established scholarly debate surrounding the date of Acts, taking a historiographical approach in his evaluation of primary and secondary sources. By using modern principles of textual criticism and linguistics, Armstrong suggests the historical context of Acts can be determined to be concurrent with a date of 62–63 CE. Examining the much-neglected issue of Acts and its sources, he claims there is no clear evidence that the author of the text used Paul’s letters or the writings of Josephus. Armstrong's work offers a useful and practical example of how a highly debated text such as Acts can be approached.

Paul and Matthew Among Jews and Gentiles Essays in Honour of Terence L. Donaldson

Edited by Ronald Charles, St. Francis Xavier University, Canada This volume allows prominent New Testament scholars to engage with Terence L. Donaldson’s contributions to scriptural academia, both to sharpen some of his conclusions and to honour him for his work. The contributors explore Matthew, Paul and Second Temple Jewish Literature which are all central to Donaldson's work. With contributions ranging from remapping Paul within Jewish ideologies, and Paul among friends and enemies, to socio-cultural readings of Matthew, and construction of Christian Identity through stereotypes of the Scribes and Pharisees, the essays within provide a multi-scholar tribute to Donaldson’s accomplishments.

The Politics of Salvation

Lukan Soteriology, Atonement, and the Victory of Christ Timothy W. Reardon, Fuller Theological Seminary, USA Offers a new paradigm for Lukan soteriology and atonement, that overcomes modern delineations of religion and politics and identifies an embodied, spatial, and theopolitical salvation. Timothy Reardon uncovers the Lukan salvation narrative developed within Acts, and its key themes that include its presentation of time and space, while also being attentive to overcoming a facile compartmentalization of religion and politics. Reardon argues that Luke-Acts offers a complete, holistic, embodied, and theopolitical soteriology, cosmic in scope, that includes both the what and how of salvation.
