"This book is for people who are interested in Luke and the law, and specifically in Acts 15. For all students writing papers related to Luke and the law or Acts 15 and especially for professors who are teaching Acts, this is a book they must consider. This work provides a new approach to reading Acts 15. It reads both Peter's and James' speeches in Acts 15 in light of Jesus' view of the law in the Gospel of Luke. For example, this book proposes that Peter's reference to God's cleansing the heart of the Gentile believers, in conjunction with his speaking of the Jews' inability to do the law in Acts 15:9-10, should be understood against Luke 11: 37-41. This book also proposes that in James' use of Amos 9:11-12 (in Acts 15:16-17), he recalls Jesus' stress upon his name in Luke 24. In Luke 24:47-48, Jesus expounds that the Scriptures (the law of Moses, prophets, and Psalms) speak of the mission of the early church, simply that repentance for the forgiveness of sins, on the basis of his name, will be preached"--

Weaver offers a provocative reading of Pauline community, focusing on social and historical readings of the Pauline collection, body metaphors, and sociopolitics of the gift, through models and methods developed by critical theorists. He pays attention to conceptual apparatuses revolving around gifting, community, and immunity found in the writings of Italian philosopher Roberto Esposito, augmenting common readings of the historical Paul, while also enriching philosophical co-optations of Paul.. Using critical theories, Weaver unveils different gifting types, showing how these expand one's understanding of ealy Christian community,. The study ends with a new exegesis of 2 Corinthians 8:1-15, illuminating the text through effective theoretical avenues. This book expands methodological borders, providing innovative models of Pauline Christianity, and developing new readings of community profitable to both New Testament studies and theory. --Book cover.

Fruit d?une longue histoire qui remonte au moins à la moitié du XVIIIe siècle et, de la part de son auteur, d?une cinquantaine d?années de recherches et d?analyses de textes, aussi bien de l?Ancien Testament que du Nouveau, cet ouvrage expose de façon systématique et approfondie les principes de la rhétorique biblique.00Appartenant à l?aire culturelle du monde sémitique, celle-ci se distingue de la rhétorique gréco-latine, dont l?Occident moderne est l?héritier direct. Pourtant, elle ne s?applique pas seulement aux textes rédigés en hébreu ou en araméen, mais aussi aux livres grecs de l?Ancien et du Nouveau Testament. La connaissance des lois de cette rhétorique spécifique est indispensable pour mieux comprendre les écrits bibliques.00Le Traité se développe en trois parties: Composition, Contexte, Interprétation. 00Cette troisième édition a été allégée de ses chapitres extrêmes: l?±Historique? est disponible sur le site de la RBS, les "Perspectives" sont désormais en partie dépassées et largement mieux connues; ont aussi été économisés plusieurs exemples qui n?étaient pas indispensables. En revanche, le volume a été amplifié par l?exposé des découvertes récentes et par des approfondissements - en particulier pour l?intertextualité - rendus nécessaires pour des raisons avant tout pédagogiques.

"Both prophets and prophetesses shared God's divine will with the people of Israel, yet the voices of these women were often forgotten due to later prohibitions against women teaching in public. This latest volume of the Bible and Women series focuses on the intersection of gender and prophecy in the Former Prophets (Joshua to 2 Kings) as well as in the Latter Prophets of the Hebrew Bible. Essays examine how women appear in the iconography of the ancient world, the historical background of the phenomenon of prophecy, political and religious resistance by women in the biblical text, and gender symbolism and constructions in prophetic material as well as the metaphorical discourse of God."

"Prominent Hellenistic moralists from ca. the first century CE warn that all emotions carry temptation(s) to sin or error. To be guilty of emotional sin is to allow psychosomatic feelings (or rising emotion) free reign to trump godly (rational) guidance of behavioral pursuits. Thus, morally minded Hellenists widely view unemotional behavior as a sign of moral progress. Emotive language peppers the Markan narrative, inviting moral assessments, yet scholarship has seldom delved into a historical-literary analysis of Jesus's emotional characterization. This study proposes a working definition of emotion apropos the narratival nature of Hellenistic emotion theory. It finds that Jesus consistently vanquishes emotional temptations with 'battle' techniques similar to those championed by the moralists. Mark characterizes Jesus in the moral tradition of the anti-emotional exemplar, and several minor characters are liberated from destructive emotions through the mercy of Jesus's godly rationale. By recognizing the Markan Jesus as a model, this study outlines a method for persevering in emotional testing that modern readers might also emulate to resist temptation with divine help."--
