The Genre, Composition, and Hermeneutics of the Epistle of James (Paternoster Biblical Monographs)
by Luke Leuk Cheung
Neither Jesus nor Paul developed a formal ethical system, yet each left a moral legacy that forms the core of New Testament ethics. In this book, Frank Matera examines the ethic found in the teachings of Jesus and Paul. He explores the broad range of moral concerns found in these writings and finds an identifiable unity that underlies the ethical teachings of both.
The Substance of Psalm 24 (Criminal Practice) (The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies)
by Philip Sumpter
This book contributes to the theory and practice of Biblical interpretation by engaging in an interpretation of Psalm 24 inspired by a particular understanding of Brevard Childs’ “canonical approach”: an understanding centred on the concept of “theological substance.” Sumpter shows how the literary, historical, and theological dimensions of Psalm 24 cohere into a single vision by reading the text according to the previously discussed dialectic.

Sahidic 1 Samuel A Daughter Version of the Septuagint 1 Reigns

The Sahidic version of 1 Samuel is an ancient daughter version of the Septuagint.

First, to examine the translation technique of th...
The Power of Saving Wisdom (Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament 2. Reihe, #148)
by Cornelis Bennema
Cornelis Bennema elucidates the soteriological function of the Spirit in the Fourth Gospel, and analyzes the interrelationship between John's pneumatology and soteriology along the trajectory of wisdom. As a possible conceptual background for aspects of Johannine pneumatology, he selects the Jewish wisdom tradition and suggests that sapient Judaism understood 'salvation' as an intensification of that work of the Spirit that is already immanent to a person, namely, the mediation of life and wisdo...
Katechon (Beihefte zur Zeitschrift fur die Neutestamentliche Wissenschaft)
by Paul Metzger
Der zweite Thessalonicherbrief entwirft ein endzeitliches Szenario, in dem eine nicht naher bestimmte Macht, das oder der "Katechon", das Auftreten des Antichristen und die Wiederkehr Christi verhindert. Vor dem Hintergrund antiker Texte geht die Arbeit der Frage nach, was oder wer mit dieser Rede vom "Katechon" gemeint ist und welche heilsgeschichtliche Bedeutung diesem "Katechon" zukommt. Damit wird zugleich deutlich, wie die fruhen Christen sich und ihren Platz in der Geschichte verstanden.
