  • Notes on Psalms 2015 Edition Dr
    Notes on Psalms 2015 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable Introduction TITLE The title of this book in the Hebrew Bible is Tehillim, which means "praise songs." The title adopted by the Septuagint translators for their Greek version was Psalmoi meaning "songs to the accompaniment of a stringed instrument." This Greek word translates the Hebrew word mizmor that occurs in the titles of 57 of the psalms. In time the Greek word psalmoi came to mean "songs of praise" without reference to stringed accompaniment. The English translators transliterated the Greek title resulting in the title "Psalms" in English Bibles. WRITERS The texts of the individual psalms do not usually indicate who wrote them. Psalm 72:20 seems to be an exception, but this verse was probably an early editorial addition, referring to the preceding collection of Davidic psalms, of which Psalm 72 was the last.1 However, some of the titles of the individual psalms do contain information about the writers. The titles occur in English versions after the heading (e.g., "Psalm 1") and before the first verse. They were usually the first verse in the Hebrew Bible. Consequently the numbering of the verses in the Hebrew and English Bibles is often different, the first verse in the Septuagint and English texts usually being the second verse in the Hebrew text, when the psalm has a title. ". there is considerable circumstantial evidence that the psalm titles were later additions."2 However, one should not understand this statement to mean that they are not inspired. As with some of the added and updated material in the historical books, the Holy Spirit evidently led editors to add material that the original writer did not include.

  • RECOMMENDED OLD and NEW TESTAMENT COMMENTARIES by the Biblical Studies Faculty of Princeton Theological Seminary (OT List Updated 2010; NT List Updated 2017)
    RECOMMENDED OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT COMMENTARIES by the Biblical Studies Faculty of Princeton Theological Seminary (OT list updated 2010; NT list updated 2017) Recommending commentaries on biblical books is something like recommending restaurants in a large city. Possibilities are nearly endless and depend in large measure on one’s taste and interests. But given a commitment to excellent critical scholarship and interpretation that serves theological interpretation for the life of the church, here are a few recommendations. It needs to be said that there are many more very good options than we can list here so none of these recommendations should be taken as necessarily excluding other candidates. So let’s begin our restaurant tour of commentaries. COMMENTARIES/MONOGRAPHS ON INDIVIDUAL BOOKS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT Genesis. For the book of Genesis, two excellent theological commentaries include Walter Brueggemann, Genesis, Interpretation (Westminster John Knox, 1982) and, more recently, Terence Fretheim, “Genesis” in The New Interpreter’s Bible, Volume 1 (Abingdon, 1994). I recommend Claus Westermann’s three-volume commentary on Genesis for those interested in a full range of discussion of critical issues, with emphasis on the European tradition of scholarship. Another example of a more in-depth critical and theological commentary is Gordon Wenham, Genesis 1-15 and Genesis 16-50, Volumes 1 and 2, Word Biblical Commentary (Word, 1987, 1994). Literary scholar Robert Alter’s Genesis, Translation and Commentary (Norton, 1996) offers a translation that seeks to keep close to the original Hebrew and a commentary with literary sensibilities. Exodus. A standard critical and theological commentary on Exodus remains Brevard Childs, The Book of Exodus, Old Testament Library (Westminster John Knox.

  • 1 John 2015 Edition Dr
    Notes on 1 John 2015 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable Introduction HISTORICAL BACKGROUND This epistle, like Hebrews, does not contain the name of its writer, but from its very early history the church believed the Apostle John wrote it. Several ancient writers referred to this book as John's writing.1 Though modern critics have challenged this view, they have not destroyed it.2 Neither is there any reference to who the first recipients of this epistle were, or where they lived, other than that they were Christians (2:12-14, 21; 5:13). They may have been the leaders of churches (2:20, 27). According to early church tradition, John ministered in Ephesus, the capital of the Roman province of Asia, for many years after he left Palestine. We know from Revelation 2 and 3 that he knew the churches and Christians in that Roman province well. Perhaps his readers lived in that province.3 The false teachers and teachings to which he alluded suggest that John wrote about conditions that existed in Asia: Judaism, Gnosticism, Docetism, the teachings of Cerinthus (a prominent Gnostic), and others. Explanations of these will follow in the exposition. These philosophies extended beyond Asia, but they were present there during John's lifetime. This is one of the most difficult of all the New Testament books to date. One of the few references in the book that may help us date it is 2:19. If John meant that the false teachers had departed from among the apostles, a date in the 60s seems possible.

Pemberton: The Joseph Novella: Resources for Preaching and Teaching The Joseph Novella: Resources for Preaching and Teaching Glenn Pemberton s the preceding essays have demonstrated, many all-purpose and highly specific resources exist for what most interpreters call the Joseph novella (Gen 37–50). The intent of this essay is to point the Away forward to sources especially helpful for preaching or teaching a portion or the whole of Joseph’s complex story. I frequently receive questions from former students who are about to embark on a series of sermons or classes and want to know what commentaries or other material will be most beneficial to their task. I write this essay with these young students in my mind, those new to the work of weekly class or sermon preparation. I also hope that those who have been around the block a few times will find something of value here (see Prov 1.4–5).

  • Westcott House: Recommended Bible Commentaries
    Westcott House: Recommended Bible Commentaries Buying Commentaries We are often asked to recommend commentaries to build up a theological library. Of course, to some extent this depends on what you need the commentary for: one that gives useful hints and tips for preaching is less likely to help you with the detailed nuance of a particular Hebrew verb. Most commentaries form part of a series, and each series has its own flavour. There are too many series to list all of them (clearly there's something in this for the publishers!), but some of the most important are listed below. You are unlikely to want to buy a whole series, since even the best can be a little patchy and some authors fulfil the series aims better than others. One exception to the rule above might be the New Interpreter's Bible (Abingdon) since each of 12 volumes contains several commentaries, written by mainstream American and British authors, with a focus on usefulness for preaching. This is much more thorough than a one-volume commentary if you want to have something on every book of the Bible. Dr Andrew Mein, Tutor in Old Testament Revd Dr Will Lamb, Vice-Principal and Tutor in New Testament Commentary Series Lightweight Abingdon Old Testament Commentaries/Abingdon New Testament Commentaries (Abingdon) - recent; mainstream American authors; aimed at 'theological students and pastors'. New International Bible Commentary (Hendrickson) - mostly evangelical authors; aimed at 'general readers and serious students'. Westminster Bible Companion (WJK) - short mainstream/critical commentaries aimed at lay people; often accessible and insightful. Interpretation (John Knox, then WJK) - 'a bible commentary for teaching and preaching'; discusses whole passages, often with contemporary application; mainstream, mostly American.

  • UCSD Historian and Editor of Anchor Bible Series Receives Award
    UCSD historian and editor of Anchor Bible Series receives award November 5, 1993 Contact: Michael Bernstein, Department of History, 534-1070 or Alixandra Williams, 534-3120 UCSD HISTORIAN AND EDITOR OF ANCHOR BIBLE SERIES RECEIVES AWARD David Noel Freedman, a professor of history at the University of California, San Diego, who holds the UCSD Endowed Chair in Hebrew Biblical Studies, has won three awards for his contributions to the Anchor Bible Series. The awards are: Special Award for the Anchor Bible Dictionary (1992); Best Old Testament Book Award: Anchor Bible Commentary on "Leviticus 1-16" (by J. Milgrom-1991), and Best New Testament Book Award: Anchor Bible Reference Library: "A Marginal Jew (Rethinking the Historical Jesus)," (J. Meier- 1991). The Anchor Bible Project is the most expansive and extended project concerning the Bible in the English- speaking world. At this time, 53 volumes of the Commentary have appeared, along with eight volumes in the Reference Library, and six volumes of the Anchor Bible Dictionary. The three series, a vast project begun in 1956 by Freedman and a colleague, the late William Albright, involve a new translation of the Old and New Testaments and Apocrypha, with commentaries by scholars in the Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jewish faiths. Freedman's work has greatly influenced the ecumenical movement and the cooperative interfaith dialogue among scholars. Since Albright's death in 1971, Freedman has assumed total editorial responsibility for the series, now two- thirds completed. He co-wrote the Hosea and Amos volumes of The Anchor Bible Series. Freedman is also editor-in-chief of the new multi-volume Anchor Bible Dictionary.
