Charts on the Book of Revelation Is a Useful Supplement to Courses on the Book of Revelation in Both the Church and the Academy
“Charts on the Book of Revelation is a useful supplement to courses on the book of Revelation in both the church and the academy. Wilson’s charts cover a range of historical, literary, rhetorical, and interpretive issues that will guide the careful student in making more viable interpretations of this difficult yet enriching book. An excellent resource to use with today’s visual learners as they approach this highly visual book for study.” —ROBERT WALTER WALL The Paul T. Walls Professor of Biblical and Wesleyan Studies Chair, Department of Christian Scriptures Seattle Pacific University Author of Revelation in the New International Biblical Commentary series “This is an enormously helpful book, bringing together in visual form extensive comparative data both from and about Revelation. Not to be confused with prophecy charts of a bygone era, here we find charts on everything from various views of authorship and date to extensive lists of scriptural allusions and verbal parallels, from John’s use of symbols and numbers to all references to angels and demons—and much else—seventy-nine in all. Each is carefully annotated with the source of the information. While the parallels are not always convinc- ing, they always provide an interesting place to start and will save the reader much time in collecting data.” —DAVID L. BArr Brage Golding Distinguished Professor Wright State University Editor of Reading the Book of Revelation “Wilson’s Charts on the Book of Revelation synthesizes an enormous amount of material relevant to the study of the Revelation of John and makes it available in a clear, useful, and unusual format for students of the Bible.” —DAVID E. -

Hsu, Ph.D. Dean, School of Graduate Studies ABSTRACT Collins, Micah. M.A. Humanities Department, Masters of Humanities Program, Wright State University, 2012. What The Religions Named In The Qur’ān Can Tell Us About The Earliest Understanding of “Islam”. Both Western studies of Islam as well as Muslim beliefs assert that the Islamic holy text, the Qur’ān, endeavored to inaugurate a new religion, separate and distinct from the Jewish and Christian religions. This study, however, demonstrates that the Qur’ān affirms a continuity of beliefs with the earlier revealed texts that suggest that the revelations collected in the Qur’ān did not intend to define a distinct and separate religion. By studying the various historical groups named in the Qur’ān – such as the Yahūd, Ṣabī’ūn, and Naṣārā – we argue that the use of the term “islam” in the Qur’ān relates more to the general action of “submission” to the monotheistic beliefs engaged in by existing Jewish and Nazarene communities within Arabia. -

Orthodoxy and Heresy in Earliest Christianity
ORTHODOXY AND HERESY IN EARLIEST CHRISTIANITY by Walter Bauer 1934 [Second German Edition by Georg Strecker] OPINIONS Walter Bauer’s Orthodoxy and Heresy has established itself as a classic refutation of the "myth" that "in the beginning" orthodoxy was there first and heresy was a deviation from the norm. Whatever one thinks of the thesis, one cannot bypass Bauer on early heresy any more that one can bypass Bultmann on Form Criticism or Harnack on the development of dogma. Today, it remains a good introduction to Christianity at the end of the first century and the beginning of the second century. Gerald Christianson Professor of Church History Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary This brilliant and pioneering monograph inaugurated a new era of scholarship in the study of the New Testament and Christian origins, especially in America. It argued that early Christianity did not begin with a unified orthodox belief, from which heresies broke off at a later time. Rather, Bauer demonstrated that diversity stood at the beginning, while an orthodox church emerged only after long controversies during the early centuries. During recent decades, the investigation of newly discovered texts, such as the Gnostic Library of Nag Hammadi in Egypt, have fully confirmed Bauer’s insights. There may be numerous details, which scholars today would see differently than Walter Bauer, whose word was first published in Germany sixty years ago. Nevertheless, Bauer’s book has remained the foundation for all modern scholarship in this field, and it is must- reading for all who want to explore early Christian Communities. It is still challenging, fresh, fascinating, and thought-provoking -- without any question of the truly great masterpieces of New Testament scholarship. -
Purity, Community, and Ritual in Early Christian Literature
OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 29/03/17, SPi OXFORD STUDIES IN THE ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS General Editors Adam J. Silverstein Guy G. Stroumsa OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 29/03/17, SPi OXFORD STUDIES IN THE ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS This series consists of scholarly monographs and other volumes at the cutting edge of the study of Abrahamic Religions. The increase in intellectual interest in the comparative approach to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam reflects the striking surge in the importance of religious traditions and patterns of thought and behaviour in the twenty-first century, at the global level. While this importance is easy to detect, it remains to be identified clearly and analyzed from a comparative perspective. Our existing scholarly apparatus is not always adequate in attempting to understand precisely the nature of similarities and differences between the monotheistic religions, and the transformations of their “family resemblances” in different cultural and historical contexts. The works in the series are devoted to the study of how “Abrahamic” traditions mix, blend, disintegrate, rebuild, clash, and impact upon one another, usually in polemical contexts, but also, often, in odd, yet persistent ways of interaction, reflecting the symbiosis between them. Titles in the series include: The Making of the Abrahamic Religions in Late Antiquity Guy G. Stroumsa Judaism, Sufism, and the Pietists of Medieval Egypt A Study of Abraham Maimonides and His Times Elisha Russ-Fishbane Islam and its Past Jāhiliyya, Late Antiquity, and the Qur’an Edited by Carol Bakhos and Michael Cook OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 29/03/17, SPi Purity, Community, and Ritual in Early Christian Literature MOSHE BLIDSTEIN 1 OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 29/03/17, SPi 1 Great Clarendon Street, Oxford, OX2 6DP, United Kingdom Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. -

The difficulty is not on to demonstrate gratitude, but on the impossibility to list all the people who contributed to this moment. Therefore, I would like to state my sincere gratitude to Prof. Lorenzo Perrone, who very kindly volunteered to guide a foreigner who was then unknown. Prof. Perrone and Prof. Antonio Cacciari received me and my wife Barbara with sincere esteem and friendship. Prof. Perrone, besides having faithfully performed his work as advisor correcting my musings and suggesting readings, was a very humane and understanding person about the difficulty of health order I have faced. I also thank Prof. Antonio Cacciari for his friendliness and provinding books difficult to find in libraries. Special thanks also due to Prof. Claudio Gianotto which has been following my research and giving his precious cooments since the first Summer School and now is a member of this commission. I would like to thank also Professors Stefano Boni, Lorenzo Speranza, Angelo Varni and John Kloppenborg for their willingness to compose this comission and their valuable comments and corrections. -
A Tablet from Heaven—Or What? Hardy Housman
A Tablet from Heaven—Or What? Hardy Housman Abstract In the article, writer-scholar Hardy Housman takes on the Muslim contention that the Qur’an came directly from heaven, and that Muhammad received it without human intervention or influence upon the contents of the book. Rather, Housman demonstrates, it was far more mundane forces that moved Muhammad, influences that included Gnosticism and, to a much greater extent, Jewish sources and heretical Christian sects. (This essay was originally written as a research paper at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.) Nay, but it is a glorious Qu‘ran. On a guarded tablet. Surah 85:21-22 ―Muslims have come to accept as dogma that the Qur‘an is tied to a heavenly text, “the preserved table,‘which came directly to Muhammad, tanzil, [i.e.], without passing through any other human hands….’” So writes Lebanese scholar Joseph Azzi. He calls this dogma, ―the foundational doctrine regarding the ultimate source of the Qur‘an.ǁ1 If Mohammed indeed received the Qur‘an intact and verbatim directly from heaven, then it cannot be the case that he complied it by plagiarizing portions and ideas from existing sources that he encountered in his life. Conversely, if the Qur‘an‘s content is drawn from earthly 1 Joseph Azzi, The Priest and the Prophet (Los Angeles, The Pen Publishers, 2005), 136. sources, whether in a small measure or large, then the ―foundational doctrine of Islam and its prophet are a monstrous fraud. In this study we examine that foundational doctrine by critically considering whether the Qur‘an is divine or a human product.
