A New Perspective on Paul? Rereading Paul in a Time of Ecological Crisis / David G. Horrell in Journal for the Study of the New Testament, Volume 33/1 (2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal for the Study of the New Testament > Volume 33/1 (2010) . - pp. 3-30. Titre : A New Perspective on Paul? Rereading Paul in a Time of Ecological Crisis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : David G. Horrell, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 3-30. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Contemporary contexts, crises, and moral values shape the interpretation of Paul, even in rigorously ‘historical’ scholarship, and the new perspective on Paul well illustrates this point. Our current ecological crisis provides a new and urgent context for interpretation, yet one that has scarcely yet registered on the agenda of recent Pauline studies. Beginning with the obvious eco-texts (Rom. 8.19-23; Col. 1.15-20), but insisting on the need to move beyond these, this essay explores the potential for a broader ecological engagement with Paul, arguing that Paul offers resources for an ecological theology and ethics at the heart of which stands the vision of God’s incorporative transformation of the whole creation in Christ and the associated imperative to embody that transformation in human action shaped by the paradigm of Christ’s self-giving for others.

Honour, Head-coverings and Headship / Mark Finney in Journal for the Study of the New Testament, Volume 33/1 (2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal for the Study of the New Testament > Volume 33/1 (2010) . - pp. 31-58. Titre : Honour, Head-coverings and Headship : 1 Corinthians 11.2-16 in its Social Context Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mark Finney, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 31-58. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : A significant yet missing dimension of scholarly engagement with 1 Cor. 11.2-16 is the consideration of honour-shame and its critical importance in ancient cultures. As this section of Paul’s letter abounds in honour-shame terminology, analysis of the text within such a framework will allow a profitable exploration of the reasons why the Corinthians are changing their attire (for purposes of this paper, their head-coverings), in a way that appears to be contrary to what may be considered the Pauline norm. The argument offered here is that notions of honour come to the fore and higher-status male Corinthians are employing modes of head attire to maintain distinctions of status. At the same time, Paul insists upon female head-coverings to safeguard the honour of the community within a context of the potential presence of non-believers in a communal service of worship.

Adaptive Eschatological Inference from the Gospel of Matthew / Ben Cooper in Journal for the Study of the New Testament, Volume 33/1 (2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal for the Study of the New Testament > Volume 33/1 (2010) . - pp. 59-80. Titre : Adaptive Eschatological Inference from the Gospel of Matthew Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ben Cooper, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 59-80. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The main contours of Matthew’s eschatology are relatively uncontested, including the apparent tension between what has been called his ‘realized’ eschatology and his ‘future’ eschatology. However, there is less agreement on whether or how this tension can be resolved, while Matthew himself seems to be remarkably relaxed about it. This article attempts to explain this surprising fact, and offers a new approach to reconciling the tension. The eschatological data in the Gospel are analysed by a process of ‘adaptive inference’ in order to build progressively its ‘implied temporal framework’. The article concludes with a claim that the temporal framework implied by the Gospel is a relatively simple threefold division of history in which, after the period prior to the coming of Jesus, the central pattern of tribulation and vindication experienced by Jesus in his life, death and resurrection inaugurates an age in which a derivative pattern of tribulation and vindication is to be experienced by his followers.

Why Does the Deliverer Come έκ Σιών (Romans 11.26)? / J. R. Daniel Kirk in Journal for the Study of the New Testament, Volume 33/1 (2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal for the Study of the New Testament > Volume 33/1 (2010) . - pp. 81-99. Titre : Why Does the Deliverer Come έκ Σιών (Romans 11.26)? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : J. R. Daniel Kirk, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 81-99. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : A viable interpretation of Rom. 11.25-27 must be able to explain four interrelated problems: (1) Paul’s use of καì οűтως to connect vv. 25 and 26, (2) the phrase Πȃς Ἰσραήλ in v. 26, (3) how Paul intends for his citation of Isa. 59.20, 27.9 to support his argument, and (4) why Paul’s citation of Isa. 59.20 says the deliverer comes έκ (rather than ένεκεν) Σiών. Beginning with the change to Isa. 59.20, this article argues that Paul is intentionally altering Isaiah’s salvation-historical scheme, in keeping with his earlier arguments in chs. 10—11, such that the glorification of the Gentiles draws Israel into the realm of salvation rather than vice versa. Paul cites and redacts Isa. 59.20 to support his claim for an in-time instrumentality at work through the ingathering of the Gentiles for the sake of Israel’s salvation, analogous to the jealousy arguments found earlier in Rom. 11.

Kyrios in the Gospel of Mark / Daniel Johansson in Journal for the Study of the New Testament, Volume 33/1 (2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal for the Study of the New Testament > Volume 33/1 (2010) . - pp. 101-124. Titre : Kyrios in the Gospel of Mark Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Daniel Johansson, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 101-124. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Against the common view that the title κύριoς plays a relatively insignificant role in the Gospel of Mark, this article argues that Mark uses κύριoς to set out important aspects of Jesus’ identity. The first instance of κύριoς, which refers to both God and Jesus (Mk 1.3), is seen as the key to Mark’s κύριoς Christology. The difficulty of determining whether κύριoς refers to God or Jesus in many of the following passages should be understood in light of this. Mark used κύριoς ambiguously to link both God and Jesus to the title. While the evangelist maintains that there is only one κύριoς, he also claims that Jesus shares the identity of being κύριoς with the God of Israel.
