This Introduction attempts to offer a different model for the discipline from that currently represented. It seeks to describe the form and function of the Hebrew Bible in its role as sacred scripture for Israel. It argues the case that the biblical literature has not been correctly understood or interpreted because its role as religious literature has not been correctly assessed.

Jesus in His Time

Schultz, Hans J. (editor); ; Watchorn, Brian (translator)

One of six titles in The Bible in American Culture series published to celebrate the Society of Biblical Literature's centennial, this volume focuses on the interplay between the Bible and education. Essays focus on how this relationship shifted over time from the Bible's central role in education during the seventeenth century through its decline in the twentieth century. With the debate about the role of the Bible in education arising anew in states around the country, this book lays contextual groundwork for anyone interested in the shape of public and private education in the twenty-first century.

The Bible in American Education: From Source Book to Textbook (Centennial Publications / Society of Biblical)

David L. (editor)

Piediscalzi Nicholas (editor) Barr

This book provides a credible account of the essential development of the tradition concerning Jesus from his own time to that of Constantine. The author, an internationally known and highly original scholar, situates the beginnings of the Jesus tradition with special reference to the Roman-Jewish War of AD 66-70. Attention is given to Paul in relation to the developing Jesus tradition, and to the normative importance of the historical and theological solidarity of Peter and Paul in the face of Judaizers on the one hand, and Gnostics who questioned the normativity of the imitatio Christi ideal on the other.With an account of the relationships between Jewish and Hellenistic literature and the literary and theological form of the Gospels, Prof. Farmer dwells especially on the incorporation of the Jesus tradition into that form. There is a new treatment of the sequence of the Gospels, a full discussion of the external evidence for any treatment of that sequence, and a comprehensive documentation of the secondary character of Mark.The author, who has long been associated with Matthean priority, here lays out his views on that position.

Brecht, in a clear, eloquent translation by James Schaaf, discusses Luther's education at the University of Erfurt, his monastic life, his canonical trial in 1519, the Leipzig debate, and his earliest contributions to the beginning of the Reformation.
