of Spirit and Wisdom in Relation to the Soteriology of the Fourth Gospel.
Volume 148 in Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament Series
2. Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck Verlag, 2002.
(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 suggest 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 wisdom. The development
of an overall model of Johannine soteriology, which holds together both
the relational and cognitive aspects of salvation, assists in identifying
the specific activities in which the Spirit is involved. The author discusses
the dual soteriological function of the Spirit, showing how it creates
a saving relationship between the believer and the Father and Son and how
it sustains this saving relationship through further mediateion of wisdom
that enables the believer to demonstrate discipleship as an ongoing belief-response.
This second cencept of the Spirit is the most important continuity between
the models of salvation in sapient Judaism and in the Fourth Gospel.

Avemarie, Friedrich. Die Tauferzählungen der Apostelgeschichte:
Theologie und Geschichte. Volume 139 in Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen
zum Neuen Testament. Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck Verlag, 2002.
(Zwischen der in den Evangelien beschriebenen Jordantaufe des Johannes
und dem christlichen Taufritual, wie es sich in den Paulusbriefen als den
ältesten literarischen Zeugnissen des Neuen Testamentsdarstellt, bestehen
erhebliche Unterschiede, besonder in der theologischen Deutung des Rituals.
Die Apostelgeschichte bewahrt Überlieferungen, die punktuell Einblick
in die vor- und nebenpaulinischen Anfänge der christlichen Taufpraxis
gewähren und so zur Rekonstruktion von deren Entwicklungsgeschichte
beitragen können. Die Studie arbeitet die Grundlagen heraus, auf denen
sich sowohl die sehr kreative Tauftheologie des Paulus als auch die konservativere
des Verfassers der Apostelgeschichte entfalten können. [from

(Otfried Hofius widmet sich vor allem zentralen Themen der Theologie
des Paulus sowie der Frage nach dem Wahrheitsanspruch seiner Verkündigung.
Für die einzelnen Beiträge ist das Bemühen um die Verbindung
von philosogischer Textanalyse und theologischer Reflexion kennzeichnend.
Insgesamt spiegelt der Band zwei Einsichten wider, die in der gegenwärtigen
Paulus-Deutung zwar keineswegs unumstritten sind, nach der Überzeugung
des Verfassers jedoch als ein hinreichend begründetes Ergebnis wissenschaftlicher
Exegesis gelten können: Erstens sind die Briefe des Paulus Zeugnisse
eines Denkens, das sich durch innere Stimmigkeit und sachliche Stringenz
auszeichnet. Zweitens stehen im Zentrum der paulinishchen Theologie die
Christologie und Soteriologie und -- als deren konsequente Explikation
-- die Rechtfertigungslehre, deren entscheidende Aussagen in der reformatorischen
Theologie durchaus zutreffend erfaßt und zur Geltung gebracht worden
sind. [from Mohr Siebeck 2002 cataglogue; ISBN 3-16-147735-9; 294 pages])
Kim, Seyoon. Paul and the New Perspective: Second Thoughts on
the Origin of Paul's Gospel. Volume 140 in Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen

(Critical studies of the two 'test cases' for James D.G. Dunn's New
Perspective on Paul,' Paul's Damascus experience and Gal 3:10-14, reaffirm
the Reformation interpretation of Paul's doctrine of justification and
confirm that paul obtained that doctrine from his Damascus experience.
The discovery that Isaiah 42 influenced Paul's interpretation of his apostolic
call helps explain how Paul developed his antithesis between the Spirit
and the flesh/law and why he insists on the impossibility of justification
by works of the law. Contrary to the assumption of the 'New Perspective
School', Seyoon Kim's studies issue a call to take Paul seriously as in
important witness to his contemporary Judaism. The distinctive pauline
doctrine of Christ as the Image of God and as the Last Adam is revisited
in the light of the growing interest in the apocalyptic-mystical background
of Paul. The author also explicates how Paul uses the Jesus tradition in
the light of the Damascus experience to develop his christology and soteriology.
The overall thesis of the book is that Paul's gospel is a child born of
two parents, the Damascus revelation and the Jesus tradition. [from Mohr

Martyn, J. Louis. Theological
Issues In The Letters Of Paul. Volume in the Studies of the
New Testament and Its World. Nashville: Abingdon, 1997.
(In recent years a revitalization of interest
in Paul has occurred. The Society of Biblical Literature recently ended
the work of a group devoted to the study of Paul's theology. We are now
seeing the publication of a number of books from various points of view
that are examining the life, thought, and influence of the apostle Paul.
Despite this recent attention to Paul's thought, J. Louis Martyn believes
that insufficient attention has been paid to the discovery of numerous
and pervasive apocalyptic themes in Paul's letters. Further, says Martyn,
Paul is still being studied somewhat in isolation, almost as though he
had had neither comrades nor competitors. One of the results is that Paul
is sometimes credited with views he did not hold -- views which were, in
fact, held by his opponents. In Theological Issues in the Letters of
Paul we find the results of a lifetime of study of Paul's letters by
a well-known and widely respected New Testament scholar.
"This volume presents highly significant Pauline
insights by one of the most perceptive and innovative New Testament scholars
of our time."--Raymond E. Brown, Union Theological Seminary, New York
"No American in our generation has done as
much to map the terrain of Pauline theology as has J. Louis Martyn. Cogent
in crafting an argument, faithful in interpreting a text, and lucid in
simple prose, Martyn here offers a compelling depiction of Paul as an apocalyptic
theologian. It is a boon to teachers, students, and pastors to have the
fruits of Martyn's lifelong engagement with Paul made available in this
volume."--Charles B. Cousar, Columbia Theological Seminary
"With unusual perspicacity and insight [Martyn]
sheds new light on the matters that most distinguish Paul's gospel, including
his understanding of the covenant, the cross, and the new creation."--Victor
Paul Furnish, Perkins School of Theology, SMU

Our Righteousness: Paul's Theology of Justification. Volume in
New
Studies in Biblical Theology. Edited by Donald A. Carson. Downers
Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2001.
(Since the time of the Reformation, considerable attention has been
given to the theme of justification in the thought of the apostle Paul.
The ground-breaking work of E. P. Sanders in Paul and Palestinian Judaism
(1977) introduced the "new perspective on Paul," provoking an ongoing debate
which is now dominated by major protagonists. Foundational theological
issues are at stake. In this new study, Mark Seifrid offers a comprehensive
analysis of Paul's understanding of justification, in the light of important
themes including the righteousness of God, the Old Testament law, faith,
and the destiny of Israel. A detailed examination of justification in the
letter to the Romans is followed by a survey of the entire Pauline corpus.
Seifrid's analysis incorporates a critical assessment of the "new perspective,"
challenging its most basic assumptions; an evaluation of the contribution
of recent German scholarship; and a reaffirmation of the "Christ-centered"
theology of the Reformers. In this wide-ranging exposition of the biblical
message of justification, Seifrid provides a fresh, balanced reworking
of Pauline theology.[comments

Yeung, Maureen. Faith in Jesus and Paul: A Comparison with Special
Reference to 'Faith that Can Remove Mountains' and 'Your Faith Has Healed/Saved
You.' Volume 147 in Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament
Series 2. Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck Verlag, 2002.
(For the hundred years since W. Wrede (Paulus, 1904) made the
provocative claim that Paul should rightly be regarded as 'the second founder
of Christianity', scholars have debated vigorously on the relationship
between Jesus and Paul. Past studies on the Jesus-Paul debate have largely
been confined to either the literary of the theological level. This study
looks at the issue afresh by combining the historical and the theological
approaches. The discussion focuses on the issue of faith, paying special
attention to two groups of Jesus' sayings ('Faith that can remove mountains'
and 'Your Faith has healed/saved you') and Paul's use of Gen. 15:6 and
Hab. 2:4.
The method of placing Jesus
and Paul against the Jewish and Hellenistic backgrounds permits a fuller
appreciation of the historical and theological continuities between Jesus
and Paul than hs hitherto been possible. [from Mohr Siebeck 2002

Isaacs, Marie E. Sacred
Space: An Approach to the Theology of the Epistle to the Hebrews.
Volume 73 in the Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement
Series. Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, 1992.
(The author of Hebrews is not preoccupied with the concepts of the
Hellenistic philosophers but with the ideas of the ancient world is frequently
conveyed by the notion of ‘sacred space’, which the worshipper wishes to
approach in order to gain access to the deity. Standing as he does within
the religious tradition of Judaism, the author of Hebrews inherited notions
of sacred space whereby it was identified with the land, Jerusalem, Zion
and the sanctuary. He shares priestly concern, so Isaacs argues, to guard
the sacred, to protect it from the profane, and to regulate the means whereby
the worshipper can approach the holy. [comments

Johnson, Richard W. Going
Outside the Camp: The Sociological Function of the Levitical Critique in
the Epistle to the Hebrews. Volume 209 in the Journal for the
Study of the New Testament Supplement Series. Sheffield: Sheffield
Academic Press, 2002.
(By examining the implicit sociological data in the Epistle to the
Hebrews, and locating the implicit society within the context of the larger
Graeco-Roman world, Johnson concludes that the author of Hebrews advocates
an ideal society that is both more open to outsiders and more willing to
assimilate fully new members than was first-century CE hellenistic Judaism.
According to the group/grid paradigm developed by Mary Douglas, the implied
society can be categorized as 'weak' group/'weak' grid, in contrast to
'strong' group/'strong' grid Hellenistic Judaism. The critique of the levitical
system can thus been seen as supporting the author's advocacy of that implied
open society. Richard Johnson is Assistant Professor of Religion, Charleston

New Covenant in Hebrews. Volume 44 in the Journal for the Study

(In Hebrews the New Covenant concept is the key to the author's hermeneutical
scheme. When the New Covenant in Hebrews is compared with the same idea
in the Dead Sea Scrolls, in Paul and in the Last Supper accounts, the independence
and originality of the author of Hebrews become evident. His cultic reinterpretation
of the New Covenant concept allows him to depict the Christ event in continuity
with its Levitical heritage, through the shared rubrics of high priest,
bloody sacrifice and tent. His simultaneous stress on the new, heavenly
character of the New Covenant is designed to convince his readers of its
surpassing effectiveness and definitive superiority. [comments

in the Letter to the Hebrews: The Construction and Maintenance of a Symbolic
Universe. Volume 219 in the Journal for the Study of the New

(This book adopts an inter-disciplinary approach to the study of the
theology, symbolism and argument of Hebrews. Employing sociological models,
the book examines Hebrews in the context of the early Christians' construction
and maintenance of a social world. In that respect, the book elaborates
the thesis that Hebrews was designed to serve a legitimating function in
the realm of social interaction, that its theology, symbolism and argument
were designed to construct and maintain the symbolic universe of the community
of the readers. It is argued that we cannot properly understand the theology,
symbolism and argument of Hebrews apart from its first-century context.

Griffith, Terry. Keep
Yourselves from Idols: A New Look at 1 John. Volume 233 in
the Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement series.
Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, 2002.
(Challenging gnositicizing interpretations of the letter, Terry Griffith
explores how the polemic against idols was variously used in Jewish and
Christian circles to define self-identity and the limits of community.
He shows that the rhetoric of 1 John is not polemical, but pastoral, directed
at confirming Johannine Christians in their fundamental confession of faith
and preventing further defections of Jewish Christians back to Judaism.
Griffith argues that the christological focus in 1 John concerns the identification
of Jesus as the Messiah, and that the ending of the letter both contributes
to the author's overall pastoral strategy and sheds light on the issues
of sin and christology that are raised in this letter. Terry Griffith is
currently Pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, Bexleyheath, Kent, UK. ISBN

unter Einschluß der Hekhalotliteratur. Volume in Wissenschaftliche
Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament Series 2. Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck
Verlag, 2002.
(Die Johannesoffenbarung führt in der exegetischen Forschung trotz
einer Reihe von neuen Kommentierungen noch immer eine randständige
Existenz. Immer wieder werden Bruchstücke aus den apokalyptischen
Visionen herausgerissen und ohne Rücksicht auf den Gesamtzusammenhang
des Werkes interpretiert oder auf aktuelle weltpolitische Ereignisse bezogen.
Die neue Gewichtung der beiden einleitenden Kapitel der Visionsreihen (Offb
4 und 5) ermöglicht es, einen ganz anderen Zugang zur Botschaft des
Werkes zu eröffnen und die restlichen Visionen vom Anfang her zu erschließen.
Gottfired Schimanowskis
Analyse des Testes führt ihn zu der These, daß die wichtigsten
Themen der folgenden Visionen bereits im himmlischen Gottesdienst motivisch
wie in einem gewaltigen Präludium anklingen und im Grunde später
nur noch weiter entfaltet und verwoben werden.
Der Autor untersucht Aufbau,
Funktion und Ziel des himmlischen Gottesdienstes, der in den mitgeteilten
fünf liturgischen Texten zum Ausdruck kommt. Zum Verständnis
der Thronszene zieht er neben einer Reihe von bisher wenig zur Auslegung
verwendeten apokalyptischen Hintergrundtexten zum ersten Mal ausführlich
auch die jüdische Hekhalotliteratur heran. [from Mohr Siebeck
