Studies in Paul's Technique and Theology

By: Anthony Tyrrell Hanson

Anthony Hanson here opens up fresh lines of interpretation for the Pauline epistles, and uses these as the approach to a fresh consideration of Paul as exegete and theologian. Focusing on passages, mainly in Romans and Galatians, where the argument is superficially strange, he explores biblical and rabbinic parallels and frequently uncovers an unexpected significance. Drawing out the implications of his detailed studies, Professor Hanson argues that the apostle's method of biblical interpretation can be justified in terms of modern theology and can put us on the road to a right understanding of the relation of the Old Testament to the New.

Romans and the Apologetic Tradition

The Purpose, Genre and Audience of Paul's Letter

By: Anthony J. Guerra

Of all the letters in the Pauline corpus, the Letter to the Romans has attracted the greatest degree of scholarly attention. Yet surprisingly scant consideration has been given to the question of its literary genre. Taking up the comparatively brief suggestions of previous scholars, Dr Guerra argues that the Letter belongs to the protreptic genre - the class of writing in antiquity which urges the adoption of a particular way of life (or a deeper commitment to it), setting out its advantages, replying to objections, and demonstrating its superiority. Working through each chapter of the Letter in turn, he indicates how Paul provides a critique of non-Christian ways of life (both Jewish and Gentile) and affirms the superiority of the Christian Gospel. It becomes apparent that the Pauline apologetics of Romans stand between the hellenistic Jewish tradition and the later Greek Christian apologists, and may have influenced the latter.

Today's Scripture Guidance

Book 1

By: Anthony Teran Miller

Today's Scripture Guidance contains daily Scripture from the Word of God to guide Believers and those who want to have detailed Holy Spirit guidance. Each daily Scripture is received from God through the servant of Jesus prayer to Him. The servant of Jesus surrenders to Jesus in prayer each day, asking Him to utilize the Holy Spirit to meet God and receive the Scripture that God wants His people to read that day. The servant of Jesus also asks that Jesus calls the Holy Spirit to send Spirit-taught words through the servant, that gives Spirit guidance of the very Word of God. This prayer and surrender process is done by the servant of Jesus each day so that every single day of Scripture is from God, and every single day of guidance to the Word of God is from the Holy Spirit. The Word and the guidance of God's Word is not from the servant of Jesus but is delivered through the servant of Jesus. This is the work that Jesus has called this servant to do. Amen. Today's Scripture Guidance is from the very Word of God. It is spoken boldly with Spirit-taught words. The guidance is there each day to help the readers of God's Word, understand the mystery of His Word, through words delivered by the Holy Spirit. Today's Scripture Guidance delivers daily reading and guidance to strengthen your understanding of the Word of God and to guide you through living your life in a way that pleases God. This Guidance will help you to truly understand the Word of God. Each day the Word was selected by God, and the guidance was delivered with Spirit taught Words from the Holy Spirit! Hallelujah!

"The Law of the Spirit"

Experience of the Spirit and Displacement of the Law in Romans 8:1-16

"The Law of the Spirit"

Experience of the Spirit and Displacement of the Law in Romans 8:1-16

By: John Anthony Bertone

Paul's explication of the relationship between the Spirit and Law in Romans 8 has been the subject of protracted scholarly debate. In Romans 7:6 Spirit and Law are set in opposition to each other. However, in Romans 8:4 they appear conjoined, operating in a more harmonious manner. With the use of cognitive dissonance theory, this book proposes that Paul perceived a state of dissonance between covenantal nomism and his post-Damascus cognitions on the Spirit. As a result, he attempts to reduce the qualitative distinction between these two clusters of cognitions by establishing cognitive overlap between them and by striving to achieve social validation for his cognitions within his own fictive family of Roman believers with whom he shared the experience of the Spirit.

Making Charisma

The Social Construction of Paul's Public Image

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Making Charisma

The Social Construction of Paul's Public Image

By: Anthony J. Blasi

The authority of charisma entails a "devotion to the exceptional sanctity, heroism, or exemplary character of an individual person." In the sociology of religion it has long been held that the authority of institutions is legitimated by their identification with charismatic personalities. However, in this book which examines the construction of St. Paul's public image, Anthony J. Blasi argues that charisma "comes as much from us as it is projected by the personages." It is a work of the collective imagination and a fulfillment of a social need. Thus, the charisma of St. Paul is shown to emerge as much or more from the dynamics of early Christianity's institutionalization as from the person of Paul. While acknowledging the importance of certain features of Paul's actual biography, the principle focus of the book is on how Paul became an important personality in Christian tradition in the decades immediately following his death. The ability of the charismatic personality to make acts and creeds religiously legitimate is usually thought of by sociologists as producing normative organizations such as churches, but here it is shown that Paul's charisma was consciously fostered and promoted by the incipient Christian church. The book is divided into segments that examine the social construction of charisma; the role of St. Luke in fashioning Paul's posthumous image; the 'traditions and legends that grew up around Paul after his death (including inauthentic "Pauline" letters written in his name); and the dynamics of constructing the image in the religious and historical context of the time. The author concludes with a reconsideration of what is meant by charisma and how it is created. This is one of the few studies which takes advantage of the methods of literary criticism to explore the social processes at work in early Christianity. "Making Charisma "will be of interest to sociologists of religion and a wide range of scholars interested in the history of religion.

1 Corinthians

A Shorter Exegetical and Pastoral Commentary

By: Anthony C. Thiselton

Anthony Thiselton s lengthy New International Greek Testament Commentary volume The First Epistle to the Corinthians (2000) has become a standard work on 1 Corinthians. In this "shorter" commentary Thiselton draws on his excellent exegesis from that volume but combines it afresh with keen practical and pastoral application for readers at all levels. Thiselton delves deeply into the context and text of Paul s first Corinthian letter as he suggests, section by section, how the book applies to pastoral and practical issues. He draws vivid parallels between the growing church in Corinth and the twenty-first-century church, demonstrating that today's church also faces a seductive culture of competition and consumerism. The church in Corinth preferred its self-centered theology to the Christ-centered gospel of the wider apostolic church. Paul s response in 1 Corinthians, amplified by Thiselton s commentary, becomes a living, practical, transforming word from God for Christians today.

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

In the Days of Paul

The Social World and Teaching of the Apostle

By: Anthony J. Tambasco

What was it like in the time of Paul? What really happened in his conversion and what did it lead to? What was going on in the cities of the Empire and how did Paul tailor his message to the needs of the particular churches? IN THE DAYS OF PAUL seeks to answer these questions, give an outline of Paul's teaching, and deal with the world of Paul in a manner which is easily understood. Starting with Paul's background in both a Jewish and Greek world, Anthony J. Tambasco then describes the life and times in each of the major cities visited by Paul and sketches Paul's teaching in these cities. Understanding Paul's world brings insight into his message and helps to clarify the frequent misunderstandings of Paul's views on women, marriage, sex, and slavery. IN THE DAYS OF PAUL brightens Paul's personality and breathes life into the people around him. With a companion volume, IN THE DAYS OF JESUS, this book will serve as an important background text for introducing major works of the New Testament: The Gospels about Jesus and the Epistles of Paul. IN THE DAYS OF PAUL also provides an excellent introduction to Paul for undergraduates, discussion groups, and adult education groups. Anthony J. Tambasco is Professor of Theology at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. He is also the author of Theology of Atonement and Paul's Vision of Christianity and editor of Bible on Suffering: Social and Political Implications (2001).
