In this volume, leading biblical scholar Richard Bauckham illuminates main theological themes of the Gospel of John, providing insightful analysis of key texts. Some of the themes Bauckham addresses have been much neglected, and others have been much debated during the past century of New Testament scholarship. Bauckham sheds light on the “individualism” apparent in John’s portrayal of the believer’s relationship to Jesus and the mutual indwelling of individuals (Jesus and God, the believer and Jesus); divine and human community; how Jesus reveals God’s glory and how disciples participate in it; John’s understanding of the key events in his christological story; baptismal and eucharistic overtones; the background and significance of John’s dualistic language; and how John’s language evokes multiple meanings without negating the literal sense of his narrative. A concluding chapter explores the significance for faith of the differences between John and the other Gospels. This compact volume will serve students as an ideal supplemental text in a course on John or the four Gospels. Gospel of Glory will also serve New Testament scholars and theologians as a reexamination of the Fourth Gospel by a master of their guild.

Guthrie BakEr ExEgEtical commEntary on thE nEW tEStamEnt robert W. yarbrough and robert h. Stein, series editors In this addition to the award-winning BECNT series, a respected New Testament scholar offers a substantive evangelical commentary on 2 Corinthians. George Guthrie leads readers through the intricacies of literary structure, word meanings, cultural backdrop, and theological proclamation, offering insights applicable to modern ministry contexts. As with all BECNT volumes, this commentary features the author’s detailed interaction with the Greek text; extensive research; thoughtful, chapter-by-chapter exegesis; and an acclaimed, user-friendly design. It admirably achieves the dual aims of the series—academic sophistication with pastoral sensitivity and accessibility—making it a useful tool for pastors, church leaders, students, and teachers. Endorsement “George Guthrie brings his significant skills to the task of interpreting this complex Pauline letter and proves to be a competent and helpful guide. Guthrie strikes the right balance in choosing how much information to impart without overloading the reader. His judgments on the interpretive issues are always fair and insightful, and I especially appreciate the clarity of his writing. Pastors and teachers will find this a very useful volume in preparing messages on 2 Corinthians.”—Clinton E. Arnold, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University Praise for the BECNT Series “In this age of unprecedented proliferation of biblical commentary series, it is an outstanding accomplishment for the Baker Exegetical series consistently to have produced what with only rare exceptions have become the best available April 2015 • 736 pp. • cloth • $49.99 • 978-0-8010-2673-7 commentaries on the Greek text of the New Testament book or books treated.” Commentaries, Pauline Studies —Craig Blomberg, Denver Journal ebook available George H.

In plain language, without taking theological shortcuts, Schlimm shows why Christianity needs the Old Testament in order to address the complexities and real difficulties of life. His concrete guidance for how to read this strange literature and his suggestions for further study are invaluable.”—Ellen Davis, Duke Divinity School “Schlimm adroitly considers many of the thorny issues that puzzle modern people of faith; he is a gifted guide in showing readers that the Old Testament’s alien qualities do not render it useless for Christian faith.

In Memoriam: Charles Irwin Strickland My father (1947-2006) Through many delays, occasioned by a variety of hindrances, the detail of which would be useless to the Reader, I have at length brought this part of my work to its conclusion; and now send it to the Public, not without a measure of anxiety; for though perfectly satisfied with the purity of my motives, and the simplicity of my intention, 1 am far from being pleased with the work itself. The wise and the learned will no doubt find many things defective, and perhaps some incorrect. Defects necessarily attach themselves to my plan: the perpetual endeavour to be as concise as possible, has, no doubt, in several cases produced obscurity.

  • Final, Greek and Hebrew at Wheaton College, 2 Aug 2011
    ISTORIOGRAFIA A Brief History of the Place of Greek Language & Literature in the Curriculum of Wheaton College by Karen H. Jobes and Charlie Trimm Summer 2011 2 In memory of Gerald F. Hawthorne (1925–2010) Professor of Greek on the first anniversary of his passing to glory, in honor of his decades of teaching Greek language and literature for Christ and his kingdom 3 4 In a Christian setting such as Wheaton College, where the Scriptures are of foundational importance, the relevance of language courses offered in Greek and Hebrew may be perceived as necessary to support the undergraduate Bible major and graduate program in Biblical Exegesis. But the history of Greek (and Hebrew) at Wheaton reveals a very different story. At the founding of the college in the 1860s, all incoming students were expected to have already achieved proficiency in Greek. If they did not, a preparatory school on the grounds, Wheaton Academy, stood ready to remediate their lack. Like Greek, Latin played an important role in the early years of Wheaton College. All incoming students were required to know Latin, and even the Ladies Program, which lacked a Greek component, expected its students to study Latin. However, unlike Greek, which was still valued for its importance in New Testament studies, the number of Latin classes and students suffered greatly when Wheaton shifted away from its early classical program. Although a study of Latin at Wheaton College would be profitable to include here, it merits its own full-length article. The place of Greek and Latin at Wheaton reflected the value of the classical languages in the life of an educated person of that time and was assumed to be an essential part of the liberal arts curriculum.
