  • 1 “Who Do You Say I Am?”: The
    1 “WHO DO YOU SAY I AM?”: THE TRINITARIAN IDENTITY OF JESUS CHRIST Dick O. Eugenio, Asia-Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary “Who do you say I am?” This question posed by Jesus to His followers remains one of the most important questions of human decision and life. It is a question that every follower—and would- be follower—needs to answer on a personal basis. Jesus’ stern rebuke of Peter’s [mis]understanding of the Messiah (Mark 8:33) exemplifies that our response to this question has radical ramifications about who we are, what we do, and how we relate with Jesus. A quick survey of available literature reveals a plethora of competing responses to this one question from all sorts of persons and communities. Many still seem to test Jesus’ patience by proposing multiple Christologies that sound semantically accurate—using jargons popular and acceptable to the church—but are erroneous in elucidation.1 This is where Bruce McCormack’s distinction between formal and material Christology is helpful.2 Although many talk about Christ at the formal level, the material content of these Christ-speeches vary from each other. The crux of the issue is: “Who is the Jesus of our Christ-speech? Is He the Christ of the Gospels or a Christ fashioned after our own imagination?”3 1 James R.

  • Selected Comparisons Between the New Testament and the Gospel of Thomas by Helge K
    Selected comparisons between the New Testament and the Gospel of Thomas by Helge K. Fauskanger Introduction Of all the Nag Hammadi texts, none has received as much scholarly interest as The Gospel of Thomas, “by far the most studied and the most widely read of the tractates in the Nag Hammadi corpus” (Pearson 2007:261). Many of the 114 logia that make up this “sayings gospel” turned out to be more or less similar to canonical texts. “A large number of the sayings in The Gospel of Thomas have parallels in the gospels of the New Testament” (Helmut Koester in Robinson 1996:124). According to Birger A. Pearson (2007:262), the majority of the “core sayings” of the Gospel of Thomas have New Testament parallels, whereas the “added sayings” lack such parallels. Yet even the Thomasine sayings that do have parallels in the canonical New Testament are often by no means identical. Also, recognizable texts may be given a different interpretation or application. This paper will examine some examples. The only known near-complete Gospel of Thomas is the Coptic version, which is held to be translated from a Greek text only known from fragments (Robinson 1996:124). Since Greek is also the original language of the New Testament, and Coptic contains a vast number of Greek loan- words, there are sometimes direct linguistic parallels between a canonical Greek text and the Thomasine parallel – the very same words being used for the same thing in comparable texts. This, it must be granted, would not necessarily indicate that Thomas is translated from a Greek text similar to the canonical one.

Girolamo Seripando’s notes on the Vulgate Dr. Antonio Gerace Fondazione per le Scienze Religiose Giovanni XXIII, Bologna, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven [email protected] Abstract Before the issue of the Insuper decree (1546), by means of which the Council Fathers declared the Vulgate to be the ‘authentic’ Bible for Catholic Church, Girolamo Seri- pando took few notes discussing the need of a threefold Bible, in Latin, Greek and He- brew, as he stressed in the General Congregation on 3 April 1546. Only Rongy (1927/28), Jedin (1937) and François/Gerace (2018) paid attention to this document, preserved at the National Library in Naples in a manuscript of the 17th century (Ms. Vind. Lat. 66, 123v–127v). In this article, the author offers the very first transcription of these notes together with the analysis of Seripando’s sources, providing a new primary source to early modern historians.

  • The 'Elders' of Papias
    THE "ELDERS" OF PAPIAS. 333 kingdom of God were not speculative men. They did not reason that the soul was immortal from its nature-this was not the kind of immortality in which they were interested-though for all that appears the idea that any human person should become extinct or be annihilated never occurred to them. They did not lay stress in a reflective, objective way on man's instinctive hopes of immortality, though perhaps they may be observed giving these instinctive desires expression. They could not with the patient eye of inductive observation gather up what we call analogies to the passage of beings from a lower to a higher s_tate, such as we may conceive death to be. They did not reason; they felt, they knew. Their con­ sciousness or intuition of God-it was not faith and it was not reason-was immovable, inebranlable, something that amidst the shaking of all things could not be shaken (Rom. viii. 38). A. B. DAVIDSON. THE "ELDERS" OF PAPIAS. PAPIAS says (Eus., H. E., iii. 39. 3, 4) that he learned certain things from "the Elders," and that when any one came who had been "a follower of (7rap1J1Co'A.ouB1J1ulJr;;) the Elders," he used to "enquire into the words of the Elders." The question is, does Papias mean, by "Elders," (1) the Apostles, or (2) Elders appointed by the Apostles? If the generation of Apostles was born, say, about A.D. 1 (Jesus being born B.c. 4), the generation of Elders appointed by them in the several churches might be supposed to be born A.D.

  • The New Perspective on Paul: Its Basic Tenets, History, and Presuppositions
    TMSJ 16/2 (Fall 2005) 189-243 THE NEW PERSPECTIVE ON PAUL: ITS BASIC TENETS, HISTORY, AND PRESUPPOSITIONS F. David Farnell Associate Professor of New Testament Recent decades have witnessed a change in views of Pauline theology. A growing number of evangelicals have endorsed a view called the New Perspective on Paul (NPP) which significantly departs from the Reformation emphasis on justification by faith alone. The NPP has followed in the path of historical criticism’s rejection of an orthodox view of biblical inspiration, and has adopted an existential view of biblical interpretation. The best-known spokesmen for the NPP are E. P. Sanders, James D. G. Dunn, and N. T. Wright. With only slight differences in their defenses of the NPP, all three have adopted “covenantal nomism,” which essentially gives a role in salvation to works of the law of Moses. A survey of historical elements leading up to the NPP isolates several influences: Jewish opposition to the Jesus of the Gospels and Pauline literature, Luther’s alleged antisemitism, and historical-criticism. The NPP is not actually new; it is simply a simultaneous convergence of a number of old aberrations in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. * * * * * When discussing the rise of the New Perspective on Paul (NPP), few theologians carefully scrutinize its historical and presuppositional antecedents. Many treat it merely as a 20th-century phenomenon; something that is relatively “new” arising within the last thirty or forty years. They erroneously isolate it from its long history of development. The NPP, however, is not new but is the revival of an old ideology that has been around for the many centuries of church history: the revival of works as efficacious for salvation.

  • Luther on Education 2017
    LUTHER ON EDUCATION 2017 Schooling for Life MARTIN LUTHER EDUCATOR Rarely has the picture of Martin Luther in his dual role as educator at home and at school, as parent and professor, been treated extensively in English.1 Yet home and academic robe were daily fare for most of his life. From October 22, 1512, when the Wittenberg faculty formally received the twenty-eight year old monk as Lecturer on the Bible, through his marriage to Catherine von Bora in June, 1525, at age forty-two, until his death twenty-one years later, Luther's daily routine normally shuttled between duties at home and at school. If we want to know the man as he is, we have knocked at the right door. Those who expect to come away from the visit with a notebook full of abstract parental and educational principles will be sadly disappointed. We would be unfaithful to the Great Reformer's own mode and manner, were we to regale you with high-sounding theories of education abstracted and distilled from Luther's experience at home and in the classroom. To get to know Luther's views on education, we must become acquainted with him personally, as a father and as a teacher. Our approach, therefore, will happily be descriptive rather than prescriptive; hopefully, it will be edifying as well as instructive. In its own way it is strange that the English-speaking world has not readily acknowledged Luther's place in the history of education. Columbia University, a leading teacher-training institution in our land, inscribed in stone a list of modern educators on one of its buildings.
