What was this appeal? “Father, in thy hands I betray my spirit,” for not by compulsion, but he voluntarily gave up the spirit. This shows: “I betray”; also shows that He is thinking again to receive His soul, for every pledge is again given back. Thanks be to the Lord that when He died and when His spirit was handed over to the Father, from that time the souls of the saints are put into the hands of God, and not in the dungeons of hell, as before, so that the death of Christ became our sanctification. For this, death is invoked with a loud voice, not daring and come up if it had not been called. The church curtain consisted of a kind of canvas hung in the middle of the temple and separating the inside from the outside, like a wall. That it is torn apart - through this God shows that the temple, inaccessible and unseen, the inside of which was covered with a veil, will be in such humiliation and contempt that it will be accessible to everyone and anyone can consider it. Others indicate other causes of strife. A torn curtain meant, they say, the abolition of the letter of law, and also that all that was lawful was revealed, which had previously been covered with a letter, like a kind of curtain - and everything that was previously obscure and mysterious would become clear now, having been fulfilled on Christ. One can also say that, as was the custom of the Jews in the case of blasphemy, to tear their clothes, so now the temple of God, as if grieving for the death of God, tore his clothes, the veil. And someone else could say, but that is enough. The elements then hesitated, as if testifying that the Sufferer is the Creator, so showing at the same time that that there will be a change in deeds, for the Scripture considers an earthquake as a sign of a change in deeds. So the transfer of God's view from the Jews to the Gentiles took place. And the stones, that is, the stone hearts of the Gentiles, were dissolved and accepted the seed of truth, and those who had been killed by sins rose up and entered the holy city, into Jerusalem above, and appeared to be many who walk on a broad path; appearing to them, they became for them the prototype of a good life and conversion: for, seeing a man, first mortified by passions, and then turned and entered the holy heavenly city, another imitates him and turns around in every way. However, it was invented too exquisitely. You know that the resurrection of the dead, which happened at the cross of the Lord, made it clear that the souls that were in hell were released. The Risen then appeared to many, so that what happened would not seem like a dream; But they have risen for the sake of a sign; and it is clear that they died again. However, some say that they were resurrected after the resurrection of Christ and another time did not die. I do not know if this should be accepted.

This collection of essays is the second volume in a projected series of five volumes that gather together recent research by leading scholars on the narrative function of embedded Jewish scripture texts (quotations or allusions) in early Christian Gospels. While the contributors employ a diverse range of methods, their research is directed towards considering the function of embedded scripture texts in the context of the Gospels as self-contained narratives written and read/heard in their early Christian settings. The essays are arranged according to their appropriate methodological categories.

The second title in a proposed five-volume work; volume two, following on from the volume on Mark's Gospel, concentrates on Matthew's Gospel. Contributors consider the function of embedded scripture texts in the context of the Gospels written and read/heard in their early Christian settings. The project is wide ranging, with essays on the function of scripture in the compositional history of the gospels and the collection is broad in scope as a result of current interest in the integration of methods (especially historical and narrative ones). Advancements over the last 20 years in the study of genre and narrative criticism have left a void in the study of the function of embedded biblical texts in the Gospels. This collection of essays will move the study of scripture within scripture forwards.

This tried and true classroom favorite by respected New Testament scholar Gary Burge has been praised for its usefulness. The expanded second edition has been revised throughout to take account of current scholarship and introduces software tools that have become available since the original edition was published. Combining original insight with how-to guidance, this textbook helps students interpret the Gospel of John and apply it in teaching and preaching.

This accessible introduction to the Gospels examines the distinctive messages offered by the texts, giving students a better understanding of methods and interpretations. It explores a close reading of each Gospel and encourages students to approach texts from their own perspectives, from postcolonialism to environmentalism. The discussion questions included will help students focus their reflections on the gospel narrative, its theology, and methods of reading it. How to Read the Gospels is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and seminary classrooms. The book aims to reach seminary and graduate students who study the Gospels critically and comprehensively. It provides user-friendly summaries such as the basics of each Gospel—authorship, history, important parables, etc. —the Jesus of each Gospel, and notable interpretation and translation issues. Without reading the entire story, readers often focus on only specific passages. This book aims to foster close reading of each entire text, sensitizing students to historical and literary issues that commonly arise—and helping them better understand various ways to interpret these formative stories. What makes this book unique is that it also engages various readings of the Gospels from traditional to deconstruction approaches, including womanist interpretation, disability interpretation, ecological interpretation, and many more. For example, how can readers understand the story of Jesus’ surprising conversation with the Samaritan woman in John 4 through the lens of feminism? Or postcolonial criticism? By providing alternative ways to think about these stories and various methods of approaching texts that may be new to the student, the book opens up how such passages can be interpreted and appreciated.

This volume is the fourth in a set of volumes, which together explore current approaches to the study of scripture in the Gospels. Thomas R. Hatina's latest edited collection begins with an introduction surveying methodological approaches used in the study of how scriptural allusions, quotations, and references function in John, with subsequent essays grouped into four categories that represent the breadth of current interpretive interests. The contributors begin with historical-critical approaches, before moving to rhetorical and linguistic approaches, literary approaches, and finally social memory approaches. Each study contains not only recent research on the function of scripture in John, but also an explanation of the approach taken, making the collection an ideal resource for both scholars and students who are interested in the complexities of interpretation in John's context as well as our own.

This second volume of A Key to the Peshitta Gospels again provides a range of information, previously unpublished, essential to the study of the Peshitta Gospel text as a translation of the Greek and as a literary work in its own right. It is designed to serve both scholar and student. The Key, in which each word is classified according to its Syriac root, provides a) a Syriac-English dictionary, b) the notation of the part of speech for each Syriac term, c) referenced contextual phrases in English that illustrate a word’s meanings, d) Syriac words of similar meaning, e) the corresponding Greek term for each Syriac term, f) a complete analytical concordance, g) an alphabetical index of Syriac catchwords, h) an index of Syriac verbal and nominal forms, i) an English index, j) an index of grammatical and general information. The Key can be used as a lexicon, concordance, thesaurus, critical guide to Syriac-Greek correspondences, or resource for the critical investigation of the Syriac text of the Peshitta Gospels..

Provides students with concise, manageable information on the history and context of the Bible, specifically the different texts, interpretations and versions available

An Introduction to the Gospels is designed to be a textbook for courses on the Gospels, for use at the college and beginning seminary level. Reflecting the most recent scholarship and written in an accessible style, the volume covers all four of the Gospels, including a survey of "the world of the Gospels". The book opens with a discussion of the origin, development, and interrelationships of the Four Gospels. After a chapter-length treatment of each canonical Gospel and the non-canonical Gospels, the work concludes with a discussion of the "historical Jesus" debate. In An Introduction to the Gospels, Mitchell G. Reddish: - provides a solid, convenient survey of the Gospels in an accessible textbook format - presents up-to-date scholarship in a field that has been dominated by older texts - gives a balanced presentation of the content of the Gospels

This two-volume set is part of a growing body of literature concerned with the history of biblical interpretation. The ample introduction first sets key players into the story of the development of the major strands of biblical interpretation since the Enlightenment, identifying how different theoretical and methodological approaches are related to each other and describing the academic environment in which they emerged and developed. Volume 1 contains fourteen essays on twenty-two interpreters who were principally active before 1980, and volume 2 has nineteen essays on twenty-seven of those who were active primarily after this date. Each chapter provides a brief biography of one or more scholars, as well as a detailed description of their major contributions to the field. This is followed by an (often new) application of the scholar's theory. By focusing on the individual scholars and their work, the book recognizes that interpretive approaches arise out of certain circumstances, and that scholars are influenced by, and have influences upon, both other interpreters and the times in which they live. This set is ideal for any class on the history of biblical interpretation and for those who want a greater understanding of how the current field of biblical studies developed.
