Book Highlights The highlights from the catalogue this year are many and varied. We’ve brought out the revised edition of Emil Schürer’s The History of the Jewish People in the Age of Jesus Christ (p5-6) in paperback. Geza Vermes’s posthumously published The True Herod (p7) came has already elicited glowing reviews for its sleek aesthetic and rich content. Introducing the New Testament (p8) by Henry Wansbrough is set to publish early 2015; it provides a comprehensive overview for the beginner to New Testament studies. From the Theology side we have Theology, History, and Biblical Interpretation (p51), which will provide an invaluable resource to any student of theology. We’re excited about the forthcoming Fundamental Theology (p51), which breaks down complex theological concepts in a way similar to our highly popular An Introduction to Christian Theology, published last year. Finally, we’re very pleased that Lucretia Yaghjian’s Writing Theology Well (p51) is coming out in its second edition, incorporating new issues for the modern student including distance learning and writing in a second language.

Reconsidering the Date and Provenance of the Book of Hosea The Case for Persian-Period Yehud James M. Bos This study argues that the book of Hosea ought to be understood and read as a text that was composed in Persian-period Yehud rather than in eighth-century Israel. The author challenges the traditional scholarship and emphasizes that there is the evidence to suggest that the book should be viewed as a Judahite text - a book that was composed in the late sixth or early fifth century B.C.E. Bos provides an overview of the state of prophetic research, as well as a discussion of genre and the generation of prophetic books, linguistic dating and provenance; and a survey of Hosea research. Bos discusses various aspects of the book of Hosea that aim to prove his argument the book was composed in Persian-period Yehud - the anti-monarchical ideology of the book, the dual theme of ‘Exile' and ‘Return' which is consistent with the discourse found in other Judahite books dating to the sixth century; and the historiographical traditions. James M. Bos earned his Ph.D. from the Department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Michigan, USA, in 2011. He is currently a Visiting Instructor of Religion at the University of Mississippi, USA.

Raised from the Dead According to Scripture The Role of the Old Testament in the Early Christian Interpretations of Jesus' Resurrection Lidija Novakovic The New Testament writings allow only limited access to the interpretative traditions that lie beneath the claim that Jesus' resurrection took place according to Scripture. This book investigates the underlying principles of scriptural arguments in relation to Jesus' resurrection and the unstated interpretative moves that govern the selection and combination of texts relating to it. Novakovic's working hypothesis is that the Davidic tradition supplied the primary scriptural categories for the claim that Jesus was raised from the dead according to Scripture. This tradition was appropriated through two major thematic trajectories: resurrection as the fulfillment of Davidic promises, and resurrection as the messianic enthronement. eW can also identify several related thematic trajectories, such as the concept of the resurrection as the beginning of the new creation, resurrection as the prophetic authentication, and resurrection as the messianic rebuilding of the temple. Each thematic block is based on a specific use of Scripture for the purpose of explaining the significance of Jesus' resurrection. Lidija Novakovic (PhD, Princeton Theological Seminary) is Associate Professor in the Department of Religion at Baylor University, USA.

Interpreting 4 Ezra and 2 Baruch International Studies Edited by Gabriele Boccaccini & Jason M. Zurawski In this volume Gabriele Boccaccini and Jason M. Zurawski collect together essays from leading international scholars on the books of 4 Ezra and 2 Baruch. The literature of the Second Temple Period has become increasingly studied in recent years as scholars have begun to recognize the importance of these texts for a developed understanding of Rabbinic and Christian origins. Through close readings of the texts themselves, examining the books in comparison with other Jewish apocalyptic literature and early Christian materials, and reading the texts in light of their social and historical settings, the fifteen papers collected herein significantly advance the current scholarly conversation on these defining Jewish apocalypses written at the end of the first century CE, and they shed light on the everlasting legacy of apocalyptic ideas in both Christianity and Judaism. Gabriele Boccaccini is Professor of Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins at the University of Michigan, USA. Jason M. Zurawski is a Ph.D Candidate in Second Temple Judaism at the University of Michigan, USA.

The Temple in Text and Tradition A Festschrift in Honour of Robert Hayward Edited by R. Timothy McLay The Second Temple period is an era that marked a virtual explosion in the world of literature, with the creation, redaction, interpretation, and transmission of Jewish texts that represented diverse languages and ideologies. The creation of many of these writings coincided with the growth of the Jewish community beyond the borders of Israel; therefore, among those for whom the Temple played a diminishing role. The transition period from Temple to texts was accompanied by conflicting interpretations about the role of the Temple as well as diverse theological understandings about God and the Jewish people. Drawing on the expertise of leading specialists in Second Temple Judaism, Temple, Texts, and Traditions explores the rich traditions of the Jewish people as they were expressed and interpreted in their writings in that period, which included writings that later became recognized as Scriptures. R. Timothy McLay is an independent scholar currently residing in Toronto, Canada. He has served as Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Languages, and Ministry Studies at St. Stephen's University, New Brunswick, Canada. He earned his B.A. at Atlantic Baptist University, Canada, M.Div. at Acadia Divinity College, Canada, and Ph.D. at Durham, UK.

This is accommodate them. Others, including Honig and essential reading for Christian and non- Christian Geuss, doubt whether the transfer of abstract principle to politics alike." Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological can proceed so simply. In this provocative essay, Newey reviews this Ethics, Duke Divinity School, USA as a debate in political theology, which understands concepts in political theory as theological in origin. This volume shows how various intellectual disciplines (most found within the modern university) can learn from theology and philosophy Modern secular liberal thinkers no longer take seriously the idea that in primarily methodological and substantitive terms.

Politics in Friendship: A Theological Account Guido de Graaff Explores the political significance of friendship, generally and in the context of church life, emphasizing the role of judgment as a shared political practice. de Graaff frames his explorations around a particular story of friendship: the story of Bishop George Bell and German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Drawing on Arendt and O'Donovan, de Graaff argues that both stories can be read as one of friends assuming the responsibility of political judgment in an emergency situation – their story casts doubts on secular politics as the primary context for interpreting the friends' judgments. A unique contribution to the topic of friendship and politics. Guido de Graaff is Tutor for Christian Doctrine and Ethics, and Director of Studies, at the Southeast Institute for Theological Education (SEITE), London, UK. He is Secretary of the Society for the Study of Christian Ethics (UK).
