Book Synopsis Identity, Ethics, and Ethos in the New Testament by : Jan G. van der Watt
Download or read book Identity, Ethics, and Ethos in the New Testament written by Jan G. van der Watt and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-02-13 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book deals with the relation between identity, ethics, and ethos in the New Testament. The focus falls on the way in which the commandments or guidelines presented in the New Testament writings inform the behaviour of the intended recipients. The habitual behaviour (ethos) of the different Christian communities in the New Testament are plotted and linked to their identity. Apart from analytical categories like ethos, ethics, and identity that are clearly defined in the book, efforts are also made to broaden the specific analytical categories related to ethical material. The way in which, for instance, narratives, proverbial expressions, imagery, etc. inform the reader about the ethical demands or ethos is also explored.

Book Synopsis Torah Ethics and Early Christian Identity by : Susan J. Wendel
Download or read book Torah Ethics and Early Christian Identity written by Susan J. Wendel and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the relationship between the Mosaic law and early Christian ethics In this volume thirteen respected scholars explore the relationship between the Mosaic law and early Christian ethics, examining early Christian appropriation of the Torah and looking at ways in which the law continued to serve as an ethical reference point for Christ-believers — whether or not they thought Torah observance was essential. These noteworthy essays compare differences in interpretation and application of the law between Christians and non-Christian Jews; investigate ways in which Torah-inspired ethical practices helped Christ-believing communities articulate their distinct identities and social responsibilities; and look at how presentations of the law in early Christian literature might inform Christian social and ethical practices today. Posing a unified set of questions to a diverse range of texts, Torah Ethics and Early Christian Identity will stimulate new thinking about a complex phenomenon commonly overlooked by scholars and church leaders alike.
Book Synopsis Christ and Culture in the New Testament by : James W. Thompson
Download or read book Christ and Culture in the New Testament written by James W. Thompson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Believers in an increasingly secular world face the challenge of responding to the cultural changes that have taken place in the past generation, as Christians become a "cognitive minority," especially in the West. Some attempt to restore the Christian culture of the past with political activism, and others accommodate to the cultural changes. Christians in a post-Christian world can learn much from believers who lived in the pre-Christian period. The New Testament demonstrates that, in a pluralistic and syncretistic world of religions, Christian identity exists neither through absorption into the culture nor through total withdrawal but through dialogue and critique.
Book Synopsis T&T Clark Handbook to Social Identity in the New Testament by : J. Brian Tucker
Download or read book T&T Clark Handbook to Social Identity in the New Testament written by J. Brian Tucker and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining the insights of many leading New Testament scholars writing on the use of social identity theory this new reference work provides a comprehensive handbook to the construction of social identity in the New Testament. Part one examines key methodological issues and the ways in which scholars have viewed and studied social identity, including different theoretical approaches, and core areas or topics which may be used in the study of social identity, such as food, social memory, and ancient media culture. Part two presents worked examples and in-depth textual studies covering core passages from each of the New Testament books, as they relate to the construction of social identity. Adopting a case-study approach, in line with sociological methods the volume builds a picture of how identity was structured in the earliest Christ-movement. Contributors include; Philip Esler, Warren Carter, Paul Middleton, Rafael Rodriquez, and Robert Brawley.
Book Synopsis Drawing and Transcending Boundaries in the New Testament and Early Christianity by : Jacobus Kok
Download or read book Drawing and Transcending Boundaries in the New Testament and Early Christianity written by Jacobus Kok and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction of early Christian identity was a dynamic process in which social boundaries were drawn but also transcended. The source documents of Christianity bear witness to the process and dynamics involved in the construction of insiders and outsiders - determining who is to be included and who excluded. In the super-diverse and super-mobile time in which we live, identity boundaries are often drawn. This volume explores not only New Testament and Early Christian texts to investigate these dynamics, but also how contemporary ideology can shape the reading of scripture to exclude or include others.
Book Synopsis New Testament Theology and Ethics by : Ben Witherington III
Download or read book New Testament Theology and Ethics written by Ben Witherington III and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 865 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All too often, argues Ben Witherington, the theology of the New Testament has been divorced from its ethics, leaving as isolated abstractions what are fully integrated, dynamic elements within the New Testament itself. As Witherington stresses, "behavior affects and reinforces or undoes belief." Having completed commentaries on all of the New Testament books, a remarkable feat in itself, Witherington now offers the first of a two-volume set on the theological and ethical thought world of the New Testament. The first volume looks at the individual witnesses, while the second examines the collective witness. The New Testament, says Ben Witherington, is "like a smallish choir. All are singing the same cantata, but each has an individual voice and is singing its own parts and notes. If we fail to pay attention to all the voices in the choir, we do not get the entire effect. . . . If this first volume is about closely analyzing the sheet music left to us by which each musician's part is delineated, the second volume will attempt to re-create what it might have sounded like had they ever gotten together and performed their scores to produce a single masterful cantata." What the New Testament authors have in mind, Witherington contends, is that all believers should be conformed in thought, word and deed to the image of Jesus Christ--the indelible image.
Book Synopsis Muted Voices of the New Testament by : Katherine M. Hockey
Download or read book Muted Voices of the New Testament written by Katherine M. Hockey and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pauline- and Gospel-centred readings have too long provided the normative understanding of Christian identity. The chapters in this volume features evidence from other, less-frequently studied texts, so as to broaden perspectives on early Christian identity. Each chapter in the collection focuses on one or more of the later New Testament epistles and answers one of the following questions: what did/do these texts uniquely contribute to Christian identity? How does the author frame or shape identity? What are the potential results of the identities constructed in these texts for early Christian communities? What are the influences of these texts on later Christian identity? Together these chapters contribute fresh insights through innovative research, furthering the discussion on the theological and historical importance of these texts within the canon. The distinguished list of contributors includes: Richard Bauckham, David G. Horrell, Francis Watson, and Robert W. Wall.

Book Synopsis Moral Formation according to Paul by : James W. Thompson
Download or read book Moral Formation according to Paul written by James W. Thompson and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fresh treatment of Paul's ethics addresses this question: how, according to Paul, can Christian communities know how God wants them to live? Leading biblical scholar James Thompson explains that Paul offers a coherent moral vision based not only on the story of Christ but also on the norms of the law. Paul did not live with a sharp dichotomy of law and gospel and recognized the continuing importance of the law. Thompson makes a distinctive contribution by locating the roots of Paul's concrete ethical thought in Hellenistic Judaism rather than Hellenistic moral philosophy. Students of New Testament ethics and Pauline theology will value this work.
Book Synopsis Atonement and Ethics in 1 John by : Christopher Armitage
Download or read book Atonement and Ethics in 1 John written by Christopher Armitage and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Armitage considers previous theological perception of 1 John as a text advocating that God abhors violence, contrasted with biblical scholarship analysis that focuses upon the text's birth from hostile theological conflict between 'insiders' and 'outsiders', with immensely hostile rhetoric directed towards 'antichrists' and those who have left the community. Armitage argues that a peace-oriented reading of 1 John is still viable, but questions if the commandment that the community loves each other is intended to include their opponents, and whether the text can be of hermeneutic use to advocate non-violence and love of one's neighbour. This book examines five key words from 1 John, hilasmos, sfazo, anthropoktonos, agape and adelphos, looking at their background and use in the Old Testament in both Hebrew and the LXX, arguing that these central themes presuppose a God whose engagement with the world is not assuaging divine anger, nor ferocious defence of truth at the expense of love, but rather peace and avoidance of hatred that inevitably leads to violence and death. Armitage concludes that a peacemaking hermeneutic is not only viable, but integral to reading the epistle.
