Book Synopsis Israel's Last Prophet by : David L. Turner
Download or read book Israel's Last Prophet written by David L. Turner and published by Augsburg Fortress Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus words of indictment and judgment in the Gospel according to Matthew have fueled centuries of Christian anti-Judaism. But what did those words originally mean within Matthews narrative? David L. Turner examines how Matthew has taken up Deuteronomic themes of prophetic rejection and judgment and woven them throughout the Gospel, culminating in Matthew 23:32. Matthew was engaged in a heated intramural dispute with other Jewish groups, Turner argues. The legacy of Christian anti-Jewish violence reflects a gross misunderstanding of Matthew by generations who have failed to recognize the authors worldview and allusions.
Book Synopsis Redemptive Reversals and the Ironic Overturning of Human Wisdom by : Gregory K. Beale
Download or read book Redemptive Reversals and the Ironic Overturning of Human Wisdom written by Gregory K. Beale and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” –Matthew 19:30 The Bible is full of ironic situations in which God overturns the world’s wisdom by doing the opposite of what is expected—people are punished by their own sin, the persecution of the church is the catalyst for its growth, Paul claims to have strength through weakness, and more. In this book, biblical scholar G. K. Beale explores God’s pattern of divine irony in both judgment and salvation, finding its greatest expression in Jesus’s triumph over death through death on a cross. Unpacking this pattern throughout redemptive history, Beale shows us how God often uses what is seemingly weak and foolish to underscore his own strength and power in the lives of his people today.
Book Synopsis Matthew: An Introduction and Study Guide by : Elaine M. Wainwright
Download or read book Matthew: An Introduction and Study Guide written by Elaine M. Wainwright and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent decades have seen significant shifts in biblical scholarship opening up a range of ways of engaging the biblical narrative - both methodologically (the tools and techniques for engaging the text) and hermeneutically (the perspectives that inform an interpreter's approach to the text and to the interpretative task). It is these shifts that give shape to this introduction and study guide, so that students encounter not only the text of Matthew itself but also its rich lode of recent interpretation. Among aspects of 1st-century life brought to the fore by current social-scientific methodology are kinship, the honor and shame culture, and masculinity. Gender is another interpretative lens that has characterized the study of the Gospel of Matthew in recent decades and the Guide provides pathways through this rich literature. The guide to Matthew concludes with the most recent turn of the hermeneutical lens, namely an ecological perspective on what is perhaps the best-known text in Matthew, the Beatitudes. This final chapter is an example of how we can enter an old and familiar text like the Gospel of Matthew from yet another new critical direction.
Book Synopsis Matthew's Inclusive Story by : David B. Howell
Download or read book Matthew's Inclusive Story written by David B. Howell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew has been described as an 'inclusive story', in which the experiences of the evangelist's post-Easter church are inscribed in the story of Jesus' earthly ministry. This book explores the inclusive nature of the Gospel by means of reader-response literary criticism. Some recent redaction studies of Matthew are reviewed from the perspective of reader-response criticism. Then, in an attempt to understand the interpretative moves readers make, Matthew's story, story-teller and audience are examined.
Book Synopsis The Suffering Son of David in Matthew's Passion Narrative by : Nathan C. Johnson
Download or read book The Suffering Son of David in Matthew's Passion Narrative written by Nathan C. Johnson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Nathan C. Johnson offers the first full-scale study of David traditions in the Gospel of Matthew's story of Jesus's death. He offers a solution to the tension between Matthew's assertion that Jesus is the Davidic messiah and his humiliating death. To convince readers of his claim that Jesus was the Davidic messiah, Matthew would have to bridge the gap between messianic status and disgraceful execution. Johnson's proposed solution to this conundrum is widely overlooked yet refreshingly simple. He shows how Matthew makes his case for Jesus as the Davidic messiah in the passion narrative by alluding to texts in which David, too, suffered. Matthew thereby participates in a common intertextual, Jewish approach to messianism. Indeed, by alluding to suffering David texts, Matthew attempts to turn the tables of the problem of a crucified messiah by portraying Jesus as the Davidic messiah not despite, but because of his suffering.
Download or read book Scandalous written by D. A. Carson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2010-02-03 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are Christians to approach the central gospel teachings concerning the death and resurrection of Jesus? The Bible firmly establishes the historicity of these events and doesn't leave their meanings ambiguous or open to interpretation. Even so, there is an irony and surprising strangeness to the cross. Carson shows that this strange irony has deep implications for our lives as he examines the history and theology of Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection. Scandalous highlights important theological truths in accessible and applicable ways. Both amateur theologians and general readers will appreciate how Carson deftly preserves weighty theology while simultaneously noting the broader themes of Jesus' death and resurrection. Through exposition of five primary passages of Scripture, Carson helps us to more fully understand and appreciate the scandal of the cross.

Book Synopsis Christian Theology After the Shoah by : James F. Moore
Download or read book Christian Theology After the Shoah written by James F. Moore and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holds that in the aftermath of the Shoah, any Christian theology must be constructed so that it does not in any way reproduce the "teaching of contempt" toward the Jews that has been implicit in much Christian thinking and which contributed to the Holocaust. Proposes that any statement of Christian theology must be judged on the basis of how it would be received by Jewish partners in dialogue. Christian theology must "safeguard the legitimacy of Judaism". Attempts a "midrashic" interpretation of Christian theology, shifting away from a focus on Jesus and toward a Torah-centered theology. Contends that genuine Christianity is marked by the themes of resistance and rescue. Examines Christian scriptures from this perspective.

Book Synopsis Poetics for the Gospels? by : Petri Merenlahti
Download or read book Poetics for the Gospels? written by Petri Merenlahti and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 2002 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetics is the study of the making of literary works of art. In gospel studies, in contrast to the dominant historical-critical paradigm, poetics regard the gospels as literature. This approach is associated with a particular methodological movement: narrative criticism. Petri Merenlahti argues that poetics offer a vital critical tool to interpreters of the gospels. But the approach must necessarily be historical, recognising that perceptions of literary form and value are not fixed, but evolve and develop from one time and culture to another. Far from being neutral, these perceptions are integrally connected with ways of perceiving reality that reflect particular interests in human societies. Through methodological discussion and detailed analyses of gospel narratives, this book introduces a comprehensive programme of historical poetics for gospel studies.
Book Synopsis The Synoptic Problem by : Mark S. Goodacre
Download or read book The Synoptic Problem written by Mark S. Goodacre and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 2001 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively, readable and up-to-date guide to the Synoptic Problem, ideal for undergraduate students. Arguably the greatest literary enigma in history, the Synoptic Problem has fascinated generations of scholars who have puzzled over the agreements, the disagreements, the variations, and the peculiarities of the relationship between the first three of our canonical Gospels. Yet the Synoptic Problem remains inaccessible to students, soon tangled up in its apparent complexities. But now the author offers a way through the maze, with the promise of emergence at the end, explaining in a lively and refreshing style what study of the Synoptic Problem involves, why it is important and how it might be solved. This is a readable, balance and up-to-date guide, ideal for undergraduate students and the general reader.
