This narrative study follows the first time reader who, while reading progressively through the Acts of the Apostles, constructs Paul's character from the time of his emergence up to the split with Barnabas (7:58-15:41). There are many surprises along the way, most notably the events at Damascus and the revelation of Paul's role as Jesus' chosen instrument. While there is some fulfilment of the reconfigured expectations, the reader notices significant delays, particularly in beginning the Gentile missions. This gap is employed productively to demonstrate the former persecutors acceptance within the church, to prepare the conditions for a future Gentile mission and to show Paul's formation within the church under the tutelage of Barnabas. While there in more fulfilment during the missionary journey (Acts 13-14), there is a further prolonged pause at the Jerusalem meeting, which is again employed productively, confirming the Gentile mission and especially its chief protagonist, Paul. The study elicits an engaging and dynamic portrait of Paul.

Did Luke formulate a Parousia-free eschatology because early Christianity had experienced a crisis of faith from the delay in the Parousia and abandoned their earlier expectations? This book offers a new interpretative approach to the statements on the Parousia in Luke-Acts. It shows that the Parousia in Luke should be understood as an element of the Christ history associated with the rule of Christ in the present time. Die Parusie wird traditionell im Themenkomplex der Naherwartungsverzögerung behandelt. Aufgrund dieses Interpretationsparadigmas wurden der Ereigniszusammenhang der lukanischen Parusieaussagen und die Struktur der eschatologischen Perspektiven des Lukas kaum beachtet. Das vorliegende Buch untersucht die lukanische Parusieauffassung nicht nur vor dem Hintergrund der innerchristlichen Tradition, sondern stellt diese in den traditionsgeschichtlichen Kontext der frühjüdischen "Parusievorstellungen". Hierfür werden intensiv die frühjüdischen Schriften zu Zeitvorstellungen und Eschatologie untersucht und herangezogen.Die Parusie ist bei Lukas als ein mit der gegenwärtigen Herrschaft Christi verbundener integrierter Bestandteil des extendierten Christusgeschehens zu verstehen. Die Naherwartung zielt nicht auf einen vorhersagbaren Zeitpunkt, der verfehlt worden wäre, sondern bestimmt die eschatologische Dimension der alltäglichen "Wachsamkeit".

The Apostle Paul lived and breathed in a Hellenistic culture that placed high value on the art of rhetoric, and recent advances in rhetorical criticism of the New Testament have resulted in a new emphasis on the rhetorical aspect of his letters. As many scholars have pointed out, however, it is not clear to what extent ancient rhetoric actually influenced Paul and his writing or how important rhetoric is for interpreting the Pauline corpus. This volume, containing contributions from major figures in the field, provides a nuanced examination of how ancient rhetoric should inform our understanding of Paul and his letters. The essays discuss Paul's historical context, present innovative advances in and trenchant critiques of rhetorical theory, and offer fresh readings of key Pauline texts. Outlining the strengths and weaknesses of a widely used approach, Paul and Ancient Rhetoric will be a valuable resource for New Testament and Classics scholars.

In Luke-Acts, Jesus can be seen to take on the attributes of the Davidic shepherd king, a representation successfully conveyed through specific narrative devices. The presence of the shepherds in the birth narrative can be understood as an indication of this understanding of Jesus. Sarah Harris analyses the multiple ways scholars have viewed the shepherds as characters in the narrative, and uses this as an example of how the theme of Jesus' shepherd nature is interwoven into the narrative as a whole. From the starting point of Jesus' human life, Harris moves to later events portrayed in Jesus' ministry in which he is seen to enact his message as God's faithful Davidic shepherd, in particular, the parable of the Lost Sheep and the Zacchaeus pericope (19:1-10). Harris uses this latter encounter to underline that Jesus may be hailed as a King by the crowds as he enters Jerusalem, but he is not simply a king. He is God's Davidic Shepherd King, as prophesied in Micah 5 and Ezekiel 34, who brings the gospel of peace and salvation to the earth.
