    Tuomas Havukainen The Quest for the Memory of Jesus: A Havukainen Tuomas Viable Path or a Dead End? Tuomas Havukainen | This study is focused on the active international or a Dead End? Path Viable the Memory Quest for The of Jesus: A field of study in which various theories of mem- ory (e.g. social/collective memory and individual The Quest for the Memory of Jesus: memory) and ancient media studies (e.g. study A Viable Path or a Dead End? of oral tradition and history) are applied to historical Jesus research. The main purpose of the dissertation is to study whether the memory approach constitutes a coherent methodological school of thought. The dissertation discusses in what ways the memory approach distinguishes itself from earlier research and whether one can speak of a new beginning in historical Jesus research. A central focus of the study is the research-historical discussion on the nature and processes of the transmission of the Jesus tradi- tions in early Christianity, which is a significant research problem for both earlier historical Jesus research and the memory approach. | 2017 9 789517 658812 Åbo Akademi University Press | ISBN 978-951-765-881-2 Tuomas Havukainen (born 1988) Master of Theology (MTh) 2012, University of Wales Cover Photo: by Patrik Šlechta, September 11, 2014, from Pixabay.com.

  • Summary of Baird, History of New Testament Research Vol
    A SUMMARY OF HISTORY OF NEW TESTAMENT RESEARCH, VOL. 1–3 BY WILLIAM BAIRD VOLUME 1: FROM DEISM TO TÜBINGEN INTRODUCTION Baird introduces his book with a quick sketch of the history of NT research before the Enlightenment, as well as a brief word about the methodology of his book. His plan is that the volumes will investigate NT research in the modern age.1 Before the Enlightenment The early church dealt with the issue of the canon. They judged all of the books to be of apostolic authority. They moved between literal (Antiochene) and allegorical (Alexandrian) interpretation. They gradually agreed that the apostolic church had the exclusive right to interpret the scriptures.2 In the Middle Ages, people interpreted the Scripture according to the four levels of meaning: literal, allegorical, tropological (or moral), and anagogical. Thus, “in Gal. 4:24-25, ‘Jerusalem’ could properly be interpreted to mean the historical city in Judea (literally), the Christian church (allegorically), the human soul (morally), and the heavenly city (anagogically).”3 Some were aware of the potential to abuse, and gave priority to the literal sense (as with Aquinas, who said the three spiritual senses had to be rooted in the literal sense).4 During the Reformation, the Bible was placed at the forefront as the foundation for the Christian faith. The reformers were influenced by the exegetical methods of the Renaissance humanists. They inherited the technical methods that were used for the study of ancient literary works. Furthermore, they agreed that the only meaning Scripture has is the literal meaning. The Reformers attempted to return to a study of what the authors of Scripture meant.

  • When the Son of Man Didn't Come
    1 Introduction: Was Jesus Wrong About the Eschaton? Christopher M. Hays You are not supposed to be starting this book right now. Life, as we know it, is supposed to have ended. At least, according to Harold Camping. Apocalypse . Now? In the spring of 2011, Harold Camping became a household name. Former president of Family Christian Radio in California and host of the show “Open Forum,” Camping used his significant communications network to advertise his calculation that on May 21, 2011, Jesus would return to rapture the faithful and judge the world. His listeners responded in droves, donating tens of millions of dollars to spread 1 WHEN THE SON OF MAN DIDN'T COME the apocalyptic word through books and pamphlets in no fewer than 75 different languages.1 Five thousand billboards sprang up across the USA, proclaiming “Judgment Day May 21,” and emblazoned with a yellow seal of faux-authentication which certified the prediction: “The Bible Guarantees It.” This was not Camping’s first attempt at rapture prognostication. A couple of decades earlier, his book 1994?,2 published by a vanity press called Vantage, anticipated that the end of days would likely occur in September of the eponymous year. That set of dates enjoyed rather better circulation than did the ciphers he had adduced in the 1970s and 1980s, but even the interest in Camping’s 1994 forecasts paled in comparison to the enthusiasm he generated in early 2011.3 In contrast to Camping’s previous apocalyptic auguries, the 2011 campaign did some serious damage. People sold their homes, pulled their children out of school, and liquidated all their assets to support the end-of-the-world evangelization effort.

The dilemma is stated well by Ivan in Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov. In his argument with his saintly brother Alyosha, Ivan makes it clear that he is all too aware of the absurdity of believing in the providence of God in a world of needless suffering, especially the suffering of children. So, in disgust, he returns the ticket of “eternal harmony” to God. 2. Do we dare keep the ticket ourselves today? How can we do that in all honesty? My proposal, building upon Karl Barth’s argument that providence should proceed from Christology, considers the biblical emphasis of what T.

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.

  • CONCEPTUALISING FULFILMENT in MATTHEW J. R. Daniel Kirk
    CONCEPTUALISING FULFILMENT IN MATTHEW J. R. Daniel Kirk Summary The question of how to understand the formula citations in the Gospel of Matthew is as important as it is disputed. This study begins by reviewing the avenues previously pursued for making sense of this collection of texts. Finding that typology is a helpful but ultimately insufficient means of making sense of Matthew's formula citations, a diachronic, narratival typology is proposed. Rather than seeing Jesus as the one who embodies abstract or limited typological concepts, we see that his life takes the shape of Israel's story. In assigning Israel's role to Jesus, however, Matthew also opens up new avenues for interpreting this story. And so we find Jesus giving new substance to a narrative whose shape is given by the scriptures of Israel. This conception of narrative embodiment in Matthew holds promise not only for understanding Jesus ' relationship to the prophets but also for understanding his relationship to the law. 1. Introduction The so-called 'formula quotations' provide interpreters of the first gospel with a unique venue for probing the intentions and theology of Matthew.1 Comparison with the other gospels and redaction critical studies have consistently highlighted not only that Matthew created the unique introductory formula that introduces these citations,2 but that he 1 For convenience, we will refer to the author of the first gospel as 'Matthew'. However, this designation is not intended to make any claim about authorship. Unless otherwise attributed, all Bible translations in this essay are the author's. 2 Ulrich Luz, Matthew 1-7: A Commentary (Edinburgh: Τ & Τ Clark, 1989): 157.

Archaeology and Biblical Studies 11. Atlanta, SBL, 2010, xx + 171 pp., $21.95 paper. While there exist valuable scholarly collections of ancient Hebrew inscriptions (e.g. G. I. Davies, Renz and Röllig, Dobbs-Allsopps et al., Ahituv), to which one should add, at a more popular level, P. Kyle McCarter, Ancient Inscriptions (Washington: Biblical Archaeology Society, 1996), non-technical introductions to West Semitic epigraphy as a !eld, with its methods, results, and limits, remain scarce. Since J. Naveh, Early His- tory of the Alphabet (Jerusalem: Magnes, 1982), G. Garbini has written Introduzione all’epigra!a semitica (Brescia: Paideia, 2006), but it is essentially an overview of the various regional corpus, and already a lengthy and detailed book. It is all the more appreciable that a leading epigraphist such as Christopher Rollston has been willing to write a concise textbook on this fascinating subject. In addition to teaching at Emmanuel School of Religion, Johnson City, Tennessee, Rollston is editor for the journal MAARAV and has published valuable contributions to epigraphic research. The book is divided into two parts. In the !rst, concerning the question “broad tab- leau?” Rollston rapidly describes the traces we have of the earliest alphabetic system in the second millennium BC, as well as the Ugaritic cuneiform alphabet. Then he devotes more space to the stabilized and standardized Phoenician script, introducing among other items the royal Byblian inscriptions from the tenth century BC, and convincingly reasserting their conventional dating against recent attempts by B.
