Essays on New Testament Themes

Käsemann, Ernst

The writing of gospels lies at the heart of early Christian reflective activity. During the last decade, scholars have witnessed an explosion of intense study of gospel literature, necessitating a reorientation of our perspectives about Jesus and the origins of Christianity. This explosion is nowhere more evident than in the study of the earliest extensive collection of Jesus' sayings known as Q. Q Parallels is a foundational tool designed to aid in the reconstruction and investigation ofQ. Students and scholars have long been in need of a reliable synopsis of Q that presents, in the original Greek with a facing English translation, a reconstruction of both the minimal text and the probable extent of Q together with text-critical notes, parallels from other Jewish and Christian literature, and a concordance of the vocabulary of the text. Kloppenborg does not promote a particular thesis on the extent or precise phrasing of Q. Rather, he incorporates even the most recent Q advances in his comprehensive workbook. Q Parallels is an essential tool for anyone interested in the earliest stages of the Jesus tradition.

Calling Jesus Names is about several things.  While it focuses on Christology, it treats only one document, the gospel of Matthew.  It specifically examines the negative and positive assessments of Jesus in conflictual situations.  In regard to these Christological conflicts, we will interpret them from the viewpoint of the social sciences.  We focus, then, on interpreting from a social science perspective the conflict over the correct evaluation of Jesus in the gospel of Matthew.

From myth to parable, Crossan identifies five types of stories. Among these types it is parable that subverts the world and undercuts the safe shelter we build. Using literary theory, philosophy, theology and biblical studies, he demonstrates the subversive power of the parable.
