With Word When Necessary

When discussing peace in the Middle East, the same familiar litany of questions are heard: “Is it safe to travel over there?” “Do you think there will ever be peace over there?” “Why can’t they all just ‘get along’ over there?” “They’ve been fighting for thousands of years over there.”People often assert, with an air of deep self-assurance, that “there will never be peace in the Middle East,” or “the Arabs will never allow the Jews to live in peace,” or, with more than a tinge of theological naiveté, “only Christ can bring peace to the holy land.”Such familiar refrains are as misguided as they are common. In this volume, a panel of distinguished scholars, analysts and activists speak as Jews, Christians and Humanists to name and explore the chief barriers to peace and stability in the holy lands. These barriers are: nationalism, colonialism and Zionism. Readers of this volume will hear voices which are often neglected, muted or otherwise suppressed in popular discourse.

Aside from Jesus, the Apostle Paul had the greatest formative influence on the early Christian movement. Yet who was this passionate missionary who carried the message of Christ throughout the Mediterranean world? The New Testament writings give us not one but two portraits of Paul. We read numerous details of Paul's life and relationships in the Book of Acts and we also find an additional set of details about Paul's activities in his letters. Yet how consistent are these two portraits? And which one gives us the most accurate picture of the historical Paul? In this volume Thomas E. Phillips examines the portrayals of Paul in recent biblical scholarship in the light of these two major N.T. portraits. Believing the apostolic conference at Jerusalem to be a watershed event, Phillips draws conclusions that help contemporary readers get a more accurate picture of Paul.

Contemporary Studies in Acts

Mercer University Press

New Testament scholars often proceed with their work as if their methods and areas of inquiry were predetermined. This work provides three important services for New Testament study, and Acts scholarship in particular. First, the work surveys contemporary Acts scholarship on two important topics of the day: the genre of Acts and issues of wealth and poverty in Luke-Acts. Second, this volume provides a careful analysis of the process of interpretation and calls for greater self-awareness among critical readers of Acts. Third, this book urges scholars to open themselves to new and broader areas of inquiry in the study of Acts. Anyone interested in the New Testament, Christian origins, or the early church will benefit from this study of the Acts of the Apostles.

Acts within Diverse Frames of Reference

Aside from the figure of Jesus, the Apostle Paul had perhaps the greatest formative influence on the early Christian movement. Yet who was this passionate missionary who carried the message of Christ throughout the Mediterranean world? Surprisingly, the New Testament gives us not just a single portrait of Paul, but two. Not only do we read numerous details of the Apostle's life and relationships in the Book of Acts, but we find an additional set of details in his own writings. Given the fact that neither of these sources is to be considered a biography of Paul--Acts is a record of the broad early expansion of the church, and the epistles are meant to address specific needs of Christian communities--significant questions arise. How consistent are these two portraits? And which gives us a more accurate picture of the historical Paul? In this latest addition to Hendrickson's Library of Paul Studies series, Thomas Phillips examines recent biblical scholarship related to information drawn both from Acts and Paul's letters, contrasting and comparing the details. He considers Paul's position in the Greco-Roman world; discusses his associates, his converts, and Apollos; and evaluates the apostolic conference at Jerusalem and its role in finding a place for Paul in the New Testament church. Phillips draws conclusions that will help contemporary readers see the apostle more clearly and accurately. Includes indexes of authors, subjects, and ancient sources.
