The collection is available both in e-book and print versions.

MARTYN A Child and Adam: A Parable of the Two Ages 317 Index of Biblical and Other References 335 Index of Authors 347 FOREWORD In his nearly thirty years at Union Theological Seminary, New York, J. Louis Martyn has had a subtle but profound effect upon a variety of areas of New Testament study. To the present time he is best known for his seminal labors on the Gospel of John,1 but even before History and Theology in the Fourth Gospel appeared in 1968, he had done ground-breaking exegetical work on the relation between Paul and apocalyptic theology.2 In a set of recent articles3 he has returned to this theme, and his forthcoming Anchor Bible commentary on Galatians will bring this work to fruition. As is evidenced in this volume, some of his students and friends have, in dialogue with him, taken Martyn's awareness of the importance of apocalyptic and explored its relevance for study of other areas of the New Testment. The interpenetration between apocalyptic and the New Testament will be further explored in this volume. As any reader of contemporary New Testament scholarship knows, the precise definition of the word 'apocalyptic', and even the legitimacy of using it as a noun, are matters of intense debate, and readers of this volume will note that the authors have assumed a variety of explicit or implicit working definitions of the term. At times the word describes a genre of literature (apocalypse), at times it describes a type of eschatology, at times it describes a social movement (apocalypticism), and at times it describes a way of looking at the world. This volume deals primarily with 'apocalyptic' as a way of looking at the world. After a tribute to Prof. Martyn from his colleague Raymond E. Brown, the first essay, by Richard E. Sturm, explicitly addresses the problem of defining 'apocalyptic'. Then a series of essays relates apocalyptic to the Synoptic Gospels and the Pauline corpus (here including Hebrews). Next two essays by theologians, Nancy J. Duff and Martyn's friend and former colleague Paul Lehmann, explore the ramifications of apocalyptic for contemporary 8 Apocalyptic and the New Testament theology and ethics. Finally, the essay by Dorothy W. Martyn (Mrs. J. Louis Martyn) illustrates that the significance of New Testament apocalyptic reaches beyond what are normally thought of as 'theological' topics into fields such as psychology and psychotherapy. J. Louis Martyn has steadily reminded his students and friends that one does exegesis in much the same manner that one engages in conversation. All of us who have contributed to this volume present these studies to him in the hope and confidence that the conversation will continue. The editors wish to thank the Presidents of Princeton Theological Seminary and United Theological Seminary, Dayton, Dr Thomas W. Gillespie and Dr Leonard I. Sweet, for their generous support of this project. NOTES 1.

A PERSONAL WORD In a Festschrift the intellectual quality of the contributions pays tribute to the scholarship of the one being honored. I wish to go beyond such formal acknowledgment by expressing what many of us owe to Lou Martyn as a person and a scholar, for in that combination lies what I do not hesitate to call his greatness. The first contact with Martyn that I remember came in the spring of 1968 when, largely through the persuasion of Jim Sanders, I came as a visiting professor to Union Theological Seminary in New York.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA Targum Song of Songs
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Targum Song of Songs: Language and Lexicon A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of Semitic and Egyptian Languages and Literatures School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Andrew W. Litke Washington, D.C. 2016 Targum Song of Songs: Language and Lexicon Andrew W. Litke, Ph.D. Director: Edward M. Cook, Ph.D. Targum Song of Songs (TgSong) contains linguistic features from “literary” Aramaic as found in Targum Onqelos and Targum Jonathan, western Aramaic, eastern Aramaic, Biblical Aramaic, and Syriac. A similar mixing of linguistic features is evident in other targumim, and their language is collectively termed Late Jewish Literary Aramaic (LJLA). Though several of these LJLA texts have been linguistically analyzed, one text that has not received such an analysis is TgSong. Since TgSong expands well beyond the underlying Hebrew, it provides an excellent example from which to analyze distinct linguistic features. This dissertation approaches TgSong in two ways. First, it is a descriptive grammar and includes standard grammatical categories: phonology and orthography, morphology, syntax, and lexical stock. Second, in order to determine how the language is mixed and where the language of TgSong fits into the spectrum of Aramaic dialects, each grammatical feature and lexical item is compared to the other pre-modern Aramaic dialects. This dissertation shows first, that the mixing of linguistic features in TgSong is not haphazard. Individual linguistic features are largely consistent in the text, regardless of their dialectal classification.

  • JOHN ADNEY EMERTON John Adney Emerton 1928–2015
    JOHN ADNEY EMERTON John Adney Emerton 1928–2015 DURING HIS TIME AS REGIUS PROFESSOR of Hebrew at the University of Cambridge John Emerton stood at the forefront of international research on the Hebrew Bible and related disciplines. In addition he assumed sig- nificant administrative positions and was tireless in several editorial roles, while at the same time he gave leadership in teaching during a period when the faculties in Cambridge in this field were exceptionally strong. I The path to this position was clear enough once he had embarked on his academic studies at Oxford in 1947, but there was nothing in his family background to explain his particular choice of subject for his first degree. He was born on 5 June 1928 in Winchmore Hill in North London as a first son to Adney Spencer Emerton and Helena Mary (née Quin). His father was an accountant with the family firm which became United Dairies. In 1938 the family moved the short distance to an area of Southgate known as Lakenheath, which meant that John attended Minchenden School there. He was clearly successful, gaining entrance to Corpus Christi College, Oxford, to read Theology. This was from the start a response to his strong sense of vocation to the Anglican ministry, fulfilled by ordina- tion some five years later. This vocation was nurtured primarily at school and at the local Anglican church. Some of his Minchenden friends were committed Christians; of them, some were later ordained and Emerton kept in touch with them throughout his life. In addition, the friendly vicar, Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy, XVI, 417–439.

  • Edward F. Hills Preface
    ______________ The King James Version Defended ______________ EDWARD F. HILLS PREFACE If, indeed, we are in the midst of "a revival of the almost century-old view of J.W. Burgon" (Eldon Jay Epp, "New Testament Textual Criticism in America: Requiem for a Discipline," Journal of Biblical Literature 98 [March 1979]: 94-98.), the question naturally arises: How did such a development come to pass? Our answer in a large measure is to be found at the doorstep of Edward F. Hills (1912-1981), in his comprehensive work The King James Version Defended: A Christian View of the New Testament Manuscripts (1956). This publication was, in its day, an indication to the established school of New Testament text criticism that Burgon was not without an advocate from within its own ranks, even if such a position were only to be regarded as an anomaly (v. Bruce M. Metzger, The Text of the New Testament: Its Transmission, Corruption, and Restoration [1968], p. 136 n. l; J. Harold Greenlee, Introduction to New Testament Textual Criticism [1964], p. 82 n. 2). Recently, however, his contribution has brought new entrants into the textual arena who have followed his lead (if not his entire methodology) and thus have opened for fresh debate a forum for the defense of the Byzantine text. Hills lived to see this gratifying development, noting thankfully that his work was finally being seen by some as more than just a "scholarly curiosity" (a la Greenlee op. cit.). On the contrary, he will now be regarded as the Father of this 20th century revival of the Majority Text.
