Book Description
Prominent recent studies elevate the themes of "Christoformity" and "Cruciformity" in Paul, but few sufficiently account for how a believer is actually transformed into the image of Christ. Pneumaformity fills the gap in Pauline studies by surveying Paul's letters for teachings on the Spirit's agency in the life of God' people. This study aptly demonstrates that the Holy Spirit is the instrument through whom such radical living is possible. This study dives into Paul's teachings on the following aspects of the Spirit's agency and more: - The Spirit's participation in conversion - The Spirit's role in forming Christian character - The Spirit's integrating work within the Christian community - The Spirit and missional engagement - The Spirit's place in the believer's final eschatological transformation Keown shows how Paul infuses his christological language with pneumatological realities, offering readers a fuller understanding of the Spirit's work in individuals, the church, and the world.
The New Isaac
Author: Leroy Andrew Huizenga
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004175695
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
Gospel scholarship has long recognized that Matthean Christology is a rich, multifaceted tapestry weaving multifold Old Testment figures together in the person of Jesus. It is somewhat strange, therefore, that scholarship has found little role for the figure of Isaac in the Gospel of Matthew. Employing Umberto Eco's theory of the Model Reader as a theoretical basis to ground the phenomenon of Matthean intertextuality, this work contends that when read rightly as a coherent narrative in its first-century setting, with proper attention to both biblical texts and extrabiblical traditions about Isaac, the Gospel of Matthew evinces a significant Isaac typology in service of presenting Jesus as new temple and decisive sacrifice.

Ritual, Emotion, and Materiality in the Early Christian World
Author: Soham Al-Suadi
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000534650
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
This volume advances our understanding of early Christianity as a lived religion by approaching it through its rites, the emotions and affects surrounding those rites, and the material setting for the practice of them. The connections between emotions and ritual, between rites and their materiality, and between emotions and their physical manifestation in ancient Mediterranean culture have been inadequately explored as yet, especially with regard to early Christianity and its water and dining rites. Readers will find all three areas—ritual, emotion, and materiality—engaged in this exemplary interdisciplinary study, which provides fresh insights into early Christianity and its world. Ritual, Emotion, and Materiality in the Early Christian World will be of special interest to interdisciplinary-minded researchers, seminarians, and students who are attentive to theory and method, and those with an interest in the New Testament and earliest Christianity. It will also appeal to those working on ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman religion, emotion, and ritual from a comparative standpoint.

Book Description
"In this work, Hans M. Moscicke investigates the influence of the Day of Atonement on Matthew's passion narrative.

Marcan Priority Without Q
Author: John C. Poirier
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567367568
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This book discusses the composition of the synoptic gospels from the perspective of the Farrer hypothesis, a view that posits that Mark was written first, that Matthew used Mark as a source, and that Luke used both Mark and Matthew. All of the articles in the volume are written in support of the Farrer hypothesis, with the exception of the final chapter, which criticizes these articles from the perspective of the reigning Two-Source theory. The contributors engage the synoptic problem with a more refined understanding of the options set before each of the evangelists pointing towards a deepened understanding of how works were compiled in the first and early second centuries CE. The contributors include Andris Abakuks, Stephen Carlson, Eric Eve, Mark Goodacre, Heather Gorman, John S. Kloppenborg, David Landry, Mark Matson, Ken Olson, Michael Pahl, Jeffrey Peterson, and John C. Poirier.

Teaching with Authority
Author: Edwin K. Broadhead
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1850753660
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
"The Gospels of the NT are strategic narratives of proclamation. The primary focus of these narratives is christological. Miracle stories play a central role in this narrative process and in its resulting christological portrait. Strategies of interpretation must be consciously shaped to highlight this narrative strategy and its christological focus. The first three statements now seem self-evident, yet these conclusions were reached relatively late in the history of research. The fourth contention lies at the center of recent methodological debate in Gospel studies. This analysis will re-evaluate the miracle traditions through a methodology designed to highlight the narrative identity and the christological focus of the Gospel of Mark. The primary goal of this analysis is reconsideration of the role played by miracles stories in the characterization of Jesus. As a secondary goal this analysis will address the ongoing question of which methodological approaches best contribute to the aims of NT studies."--

Matthew, Poet of the Beatitudes
Author: H. Benedict Green
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567196763
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
Green argues that the Beatitudes in Matthew's version are a carefully constructed poem, exhibiting a number of the characteristics of Hebrew poetry as we know it from the Old Testament; but as certain of these, such as rhyme and alliteration, cannot survive translation, what we have here is an original composition in Greek. This is shown to be no isolated phenomenon in the gospel; a series of texts found at specially significant points in it disclose similar characteristics. The findings cut across conventional source attributions and reveal the creative hand of the evangelist. By studying the individual beatitudes in their relation to each other as revealed by the formal structure, fresh light is thrown upon their meaning and their background in the scriptures of the Old Testament.
