Bond School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, Mound Place, Edinburgh, EH1 2LX [email protected] After discussing the scholarly preference for dating Jesus’ crucifixion to 7th April 30 CE, this article argues that the precise date can no longer be recovered. All we can claim with any degree of historical certainty is that Jesus died some time around Passover (perhaps a week or so before the feast) between 29 and 34 CE.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-81256-6 - Media Violence and Christian Ethics Jolyon Mitchell Frontmatter More information MEDIA VIOLENCE AND CHRISTIAN ETHICS How can audiences interact creatively, wisely and peaceably with the many different forms of violence found throughout today’s media? Suicide attacks, graphic executions and the horrors of war appear in news reports, films, websites and even on mobile phones. One approach towards media violence is to attempt to protect viewers; another is to criticise journalists, editors, film-makers and their stories. In this book Jolyon Mitchell highlights Christianity’s ambiguous relationship with media violence. He goes beyond debates about the effects of watching mediated violence to examine how audiences, producers and critics interact with news images, films, video games and advertising. He argues that practices such as hospitality, friend- ship, witness and worship can provide the context where both spec- tacular and hidden violence can be remembered and reframed. This can help audiences to imagine how their own identities and com- munities can be based not upon violence, but upon a more lasting foundation of peace.

    JETS 58/4 (2015) 803–87 BOOK REVIEWS Dictionary of Daily Life in Biblical & Post-Biblical Antiquity, vol. 1: A-Da. Edited by Edwin M. Yamauchi and Marvin R. Wilson. Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 2014, xxxvi + 400 pp., $24.95 paper. Edwin Yamauchi serves as Professor Emeritus of History at Miami University. He authored Persia and the Bible (Baker, 1990) and Greece and Babylon: Early Contacts between the Aegean and the Near East (Baker, 1967). Marvin Wilson is the Harold J. Ockenga Professor of Biblical and Theological Studies at Gordon College. He wrote Our Father Abraham: Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith (Eerdmans, 1989) and its sequel, Exploring Our Hebraic Heritage: A Christian Theology of Roots and Renewal (Eerdmans, 2014). Thirty-three scholars contribute to the dictionary. Following the list of Ab- breviations, the authors provide an overview of the pertinent “Periods, Ages, and Dates” and an Introduction to the series. Volume 1, the first of a projected three- volume set, contains thirty-nine articles ranging from “Abortion” to “Dance.” The entries address subjects seldom included in Bible encyclopedias and dictionaries— subjects such as domestic life, laws, cultic practices, and technology. Each entry, approximately five to twenty pages in length, develops the topic according to six subheadings: the OT, the NT, the Near Eastern world, the Greco-Roman world, the Jewish world, and the Christian world. The articles conclude with a bibliog- raphy of topic-specific resources. More general resources appear in the back of the volume in the seven-page Select Bibliography comprised exclusively of books. The back matter also displays seven Figures (photos or sketches) that depict various aspects of ancient culture.

  • A New Explanation of Christological Origins a Review of the Work of Larry W
    A NEW EXPLANATION OF CHRISTOLOGICAL ORIGINS A REVIEW OF THE WORK OF LARRY W. HURTADO Crispin Fletcher-Louis Summary Prof. Larry Hurtado’s three-volume work on christological origins has advanced understanding in several key respects and his account is simpler than that of his predecessors. However, it remains an evolutionary, multi-stage model and it is historically problematic. He overstates the case for Jewish opposition to Christ-devotion, minimises the ethical particularity of earliest Christianity and the model suffers some serious internal tensions. His claim that religious experiences gave the decisive impetus to Christ-devotion does not reckon adequately with the implications of social-science study, is not supported by the primary texts and conflicts with the important evidence that visionary and mystical practices were frowned upon in some early Christian quarters. Hurtado presents his work as theologically disinterested. However, he endorses Lessing’s radical separation of theology and history and this theologically loaded judgement seems to be reflected in the non-incarnational character of the Christology Hurtado describes. 1. Introduction Over the last thirty years Prof. Larry Hurtado has worked tirelessly on the nature and origins of early Christology. In the last few years that work has culminated in the publication of two lengthy monographs that develop the thesis first presented in a book published in 1988.1 Each of 1 L. W. Hurtado, One God, One Lord: Early Christian Devotion and Ancient Jewish Monotheism (Philadelphia: Fortress, 1988); idem, Lord Jesus Christ: Devotion to Jesus 162 TYNDALE BULLETIN 60.2 (2009) Hurtado’s three book-length contributions to this subject has been reviewed by others.2 My purpose here is to offer an appreciative critique of the cumulative case Hurtado has now made for his understanding of christological origins.

However, this approach has more often led to regressive metaphysical speculations, as is often witnessed in the historical theology of the Church. Are there alternative models that we can glean from the history of the Church that can provide a new means of conceptualizing the doctrine of the Trinity? This essay considers this issue at length to suggest a “relational ontology” paradigm in constructing the Trinitarian doctrine. It also makes use of Vishishtadvaita (Qualified Non-Dualism in Hindu philosophy) conception of “body-soul” analogy to render a “qualitative panentheistic” model in construing the doctrine of the Trinity. These theological and interreligious explorations are expected to shed more light on the issue. Keywords: doctrine, Trinity, theology, ontology, Viśiṣṭādvaita Abstrak Haruskah semua refleksi metafisik tentang Trinitas bermula dengan ontologi “substansi/esensi”? Pendekatan ini seringkali menyebabkan kemunduran spekulasi metafisik, sebagaimana disaksikan dalam teologi sejarah gereja. Apakah ada model alternatif yang bisa kita ambil dari sejarah gereja yang dapat menyediakan cara baru untuk mengkonsepkan doktrin Trinitas? Esai ini mempertimbangkan isu ini panjang lebar untuk menunjukkan paradigma “ontologi relasional” dalam membina doktrin Trinitarian.

  • One God One Lord–Epilogue-Pre-Pub
    Epilogue In this Epilogue, I first want to explain how the foregoing book fits into my own larger research and publishing programme on earliest Jesus-devotion over the past thirty-five years or so, and then also comment briefly on how scholarly discussion has proceeded on key matters, especially since the 1998 edition. I should also note that the voluminous endnotes contain both bibliographical references and also, often, further comments additional to the discussion in the Epilogue itself. The Setting of One God, One Lord My own probing of historical questions about early Jesus-devotion began in 1970s, not long after my PhD.1 At that point, the dominant schema about when and how earliest belief in Jesus developed was (at least for many in the field) still shaped very much by Wilhelm Bousset’s classic study, Kyrios Christos.2 The two essential contentions in Bousset’s book were (1) that the emergence of the “Kyrios-cult,” that is, treating the risen/exalted Jesus as rightful recipient of corporate worship, was perhaps the most significant development in early Christianity, and (2) that this could not have happened in the “primitive” (original) circles of Jewish Jesus-followers in Jerusalem and Roman Judea, but, instead, took place first in places such as Antioch and Damascus, where the influence of pagan cults devoted to various gods and divinized heroes was sufficiently strong to prompt believers in such locations to treat the risen Jesus in an equivalent manner. As I showed in an article published in 1979, however, various scholarly developments had by then already showed that Bousset’s positions and assumptions on certain key matters were then no longer tenable, and I urged that it was necessary to develop a new historical schema.3 For example, Bousset assumed (along with many other scholars of his time and subsequently) that “the Son of Man” was a familiar title in ancient Jewish tradition that 1 My PhD thesis (1973) was a study in NT textual criticism, later published in a slightly revised form: Larry W.
