Beale BAKER EXEGETICAL COMMENTARY ON THE NEW TESTAMENT Robert W. Yarbrough and Joshua W. Jipp, series editors “As we have come to expect from Beale’s notable scholarship, this commentary on Colossians and Philemon models how thorough research, keen attention to Old Testament allusions, and meticulous study of the Greek text provide a basis for incisive, theologically grounded preaching and teaching. It should take its place on the shelf of defi nitive commen- taries on the New Testament that truly help in these tasks.”—David E. Garland, Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University “Beale’s commentary is everything we have come to expect from a veteran New Testament scholar. His exegesis is detailed and rich in insight and theologically profound, and his emphasis on the fulfi llment of the temple in Colossians is illuminating. Old Testament allusions are mined, helping readers to see how Colossians and Philemon fi t within the entire biblical witness. For pastors, students, and professors, Beale’s work on these two letters will prove invaluable in their own research and study.”—Thomas R. Schreiner, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary “Beale is a fi rst-rate New Testament scholar with proven expertise in the use of the OT in the NT and Biblical Theology. Hence, not surpris- ingly, this fresh and readable commentary on Colossians and Philemon is marked not only by impressive erudition and judicious judgment on complex issues but also by extraordinary theological depth. It breaks new ground, especially in the area of the biblical and Jewish roots of G. K. Beale (PhD, University of Cambridge) is Paul’s teaching in Colossians.

Drawing from Matthew 13:52, Schreiner understands the author of the Gospel as a “discipled scribe” who brings out treasures new and old from his teacher. Jesus, as a teacher of wisdom, formed an alternative scribal school. One of the main ways Jesus instructed his students in the paths of wisdom was to reveal the relationship between the new and the old with himself at the center. Schreiner argues that Matthew obeyed the Great Commission by acting as scribe to Jesus in order to share Jesus’s life and work with the world, thereby making disciples of future generations. The First Gospel presents Jesus’s life as the fulfi llment of the Old Testament story of Israel and shows how Jesus brings new life in the New Testament. This book will appeal to professors, students, and scholars of the New Testament as well as pastors.

Gorman Renowned scholar Michael Gorman examines the important Pauline theme of participation in Christ, a topic of great interest in New Testa- ment circles and one that is central to Paul’s theology and spirituality. Building on his previous work on the topic, Gorman carefully examines participation in Christ in Paul’s letters. His book explores this theme across the letters and includes in-depth studies of key texts such as Galatians 2, 2 Corinthians 5, and Philippians 2. Gorman also explores the contemporary signifi cance of participating in Christ for Christian life and ministry, arguing that it has wide implications for the life of the believer. Throughout the book, Gorman insightfully unpacks the many theological, spiritual, and pastoral dimensions of participation in Christ and shows its close connection to such related themes as cruciformity, resurrection, justifi cation, theosis, mission, and apocalyptic. One of the themes Gorman explores in particular is what he now calls “resurrectional cruciformity”—that participating in Christ is simultaneously dying and rising with him and that cross-shaped living, infused with the life of the resurrected Lord, is life-giving. New Testament scholars, professors, and students will value this work. Michael J. Gorman (PhD, Princeton Theological Seminary) is the Raymond E.

In Memoriam: Charles Irwin Strickland My father (1947-2006) Through many delays, occasioned by a variety of hindrances, the detail of which would be useless to the Reader, I have at length brought this part of my work to its conclusion; and now send it to the Public, not without a measure of anxiety; for though perfectly satisfied with the purity of my motives, and the simplicity of my intention, 1 am far from being pleased with the work itself. The wise and the learned will no doubt find many things defective, and perhaps some incorrect. Defects necessarily attach themselves to my plan: the perpetual endeavour to be as concise as possible, has, no doubt, in several cases produced obscurity. Whatever errors may be observed, must be attributed to my scantiness of knowledge, when compared with the learning and information necessary for the tolerable perfection of such a work.

  • Final, Greek and Hebrew at Wheaton College, 2 Aug 2011
    ISTORIOGRAFIA A Brief History of the Place of Greek Language & Literature in the Curriculum of Wheaton College by Karen H. Jobes and Charlie Trimm Summer 2011 2 In memory of Gerald F. Hawthorne (1925–2010) Professor of Greek on the first anniversary of his passing to glory, in honor of his decades of teaching Greek language and literature for Christ and his kingdom 3 4 In a Christian setting such as Wheaton College, where the Scriptures are of foundational importance, the relevance of language courses offered in Greek and Hebrew may be perceived as necessary to support the undergraduate Bible major and graduate program in Biblical Exegesis. But the history of Greek (and Hebrew) at Wheaton reveals a very different story. At the founding of the college in the 1860s, all incoming students were expected to have already achieved proficiency in Greek. If they did not, a preparatory school on the grounds, Wheaton Academy, stood ready to remediate their lack. Like Greek, Latin played an important role in the early years of Wheaton College. All incoming students were required to know Latin, and even the Ladies Program, which lacked a Greek component, expected its students to study Latin. However, unlike Greek, which was still valued for its importance in New Testament studies, the number of Latin classes and students suffered greatly when Wheaton shifted away from its early classical program. Although a study of Latin at Wheaton College would be profitable to include here, it merits its own full-length article. The place of Greek and Latin at Wheaton reflected the value of the classical languages in the life of an educated person of that time and was assumed to be an essential part of the liberal arts curriculum.
