The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Apocrypha addresses issues and themes that arise in the study of early Christian apocryphal literature. It discusses key texts including the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Peter, letters attributed to Paul, Peter, and Jesus, and acts and apocalypses written about or attributed to different apostles. Part One consists of authoritative surveys of the main branches of apocryphal literature (gospels, acts, epistles, apocalypses, and related literature) and Part Two considers key issues that they raise. These include their contribution to our understanding of developing theological understandings of Jesus, the apostles and other important figures such as Mary. It also addresses the value of these texts as potential sources for knowledge of the historical Jesus, and for debates about Jewish-Christian relations, the practice of Christian worship, and developing understandings of asceticism, gender and sexuality, etc. The volume also considers questions such as which ancient readers read early Christian apocrypha, their place in Christian spirituality, and their place in contemporary popular culture and contemporary theological discourse.

This collection examines the allusions to the Elijah- Elisha narrative in the gospel of Luke. The volume presents the case for a “maximalist” view, which holds that the Elijah-Elisha narrative had a dominant role in the composition of Luke 7 and 9, put forward by Thomas L. Brodie and John Shelton, with critical responses to this thesis by Robert Derrenbacker, Alex Damm, F. Gerald Downing, David Peabody, Dennis MacDonald and Joseph Verheyden.Taken together the contributions to this volume provide fascinating insights into the composition of the gospel of Luke, and the editorial processes involved in its creation. Contributions cover different approaches to the text, including issues of intertextuality and rhetorical-critical examinations. The distinguished contributors and fast-paced debate make this book an indispensable addition to any theological library.

This volume addresses the Synoptic Problem and how it emerged in a historical context closely connected with challenges to the historical reliability of the gospels; questions the ability of scholarship arriving at a compelling reconstruction of the historical Jesus; the limits of the canon; and an examination of the relationship between the historical reliability of gospel material and ecclesial dogma that was presumed to flow from the gospels. The contributors, all experts in the Synoptic Problem, probe various sites and issues in the 19th and 20th century to elaborate how the Synoptic Problem and scholarship on the synoptic gospels was seen to complement, undergird, or complicate theological views. By exploring topics ranging from the Q hypothesis to the Markan priority and the Two Document hypothesis, this volume supplies extensive theological context to the beginnings of synoptic scholarship from an entirely new perspective.

The second century CE has often been described as a kind of dark period with regard to our knowledge of how the earliest Christian writings (the gospels and Paul’s letters) were transmitted and gradually came to be accepted as authoritative and then, later on, as “canonical”. At the same time a number of other Christian texts, of various genres, saw the light. Some of these seem to be familiar with the gospels, or perhaps rather with gospel traditions identical or similar to those that found their way into the NT gospels. The volume focuses on representative texts and authors of the time in order to see how they have struggled to find a way to work with the NT gospels and/or the traditions behind these, while at the same time giving a place also to other extra-canonical traditions.It studies in a comparative way the reception of identifiably “canonical” and of extra-canonical traditions in the second century. It aims at discovering patterns or strategies of reception within the at first sight often rather chaotic way some of these ancient authors have cited or used these traditions. And it will look for explanations of why it took such a while before authors got used to cite gospel texts (more or less) accurately.

Jews and Christians – Parting Ways in the First Two Centuries CE?
Reflections on the Gains and Losses of a Model

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The present volume is based on a conference held in October 2019 at the Faculty of Theology of Humboldt University Berlin as part of a common project of the Australian Catholic University, the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and the Humboldt University Berlin. The aim is to discuss the relationships of “Jews” and “Christians” in the first two centuries CE against the background of recent debates which have called into question the image of “parting ways” for a description of the relationships of Judaism and Christianity in antiquity. One objection raised against this metaphor is that it accentuates differences at the expense of commonalities. Another critique is that this image looks from a later perspective at historical developments which can hardly be grasped with such a metaphor. It is more likely that distinctions between Jews, Christians, Jewish Christians, Christian Jews etc. are more blurred than the image of “parting ways” allows. In light of these considerations the contributions in this volume discuss the cogency of the “parting of the ways”-model with a look at prominent early Christian writers and places and suggest more appropriate metaphors to describe the relationships of Jews and Christians in the early period.

Modes of Scriptural Interpretation in Early Judaism and Early Christianity
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

The present contributions examine three modes of interpretation—rewriting, appropriation, and commentary—within early Jewish and Christian texts. As is well known, scriptural interpretation was important, even central, for the process of identity formation in early Jewish and Christian communities. The modes of scriptural interpretation covered in the present volume not only betray deep commonalities in their approach and discursive field, but also illuminate the practical side of interpretation to which communal and/or polemical application is intrinsic. These different modes co-exist, operating side by side across the early period, rather than conforming to any clear developmental scheme. In the end, the category of interpretation itself turns out to be capatious, including material from sectarian Halakhah to Valentinian mythology to Rabbinic heresiological discourse. Further, contributors note that in a myriad of ways we remain the heirs of the interpretive projects explored here. Attending to the reception of scriptural texts in their ancient interpretation offers the opportunity for scholars to highlight their possibilities, promises and difficulties, opening them for others with ears to hear.

Passions- und Ostertraditionen im antiken Christentum
Häftad, Tyska, 2010

Tillfälligt slut
Passion und Auferstehung Jesu von Nazaret gehören zu den entscheidenden Grunddaten des christlichen Glaubens. Die ältesten Zeugnisse dafür finden sich bekanntlich im Neuen Testament. Wie bedeutsam sie aber für Christen verschiedenster Richtungen und Prägungen waren, zeigt sich auch darin, dass sie auch später in unterschiedlichsten historischen Kontexten neu erzählt und ausgelegt wurden. Der vorliegende Band bietet beispielhaft Einblick in die wichtigsten Richtungen der Entwicklung von Texten, Motiven, Vorstellungen und Ideen im Zusammenhang mit Passion und Auferstehung Jesu von Nazaret in verschiedenen Gruppen und Richtungen des antiken Christentums. Untersucht werden dabei Auslegungen des Neuen Testaments bei bedeutenden Autoren der Alten Kirche, wichtige apokryphe Texte, aber auch bisher wenig beachtete ikonographische Zeugnisse.

Die Autoren des vorliegenden Bandes untersuchen die Vorstellung von der "christlichen Gemeinde" in den Schriften der Apostolischen Väter. Sie behandeln verschiedene Aspekte, wie die Bemühungen, die Gemeinde zu organisieren, eine sakramentale und rituelle Praxis zu entwickeln, eine Identität gegenüber Außenstehenden zu schaffen, zu missionieren und nach einer besseren Gemeinschaft zu streben. Die Wechselbeziehung zwischen Idealbild und Realität in den Quellen bietet zuverlässige Informationen bezüglich des alltäglichen Lebens und konkreter Umstände in frühchristlichen Gemeinden gegen Ende des ersten und in der ersten Hälfte des zweiten Jahrhunderts.

Unter den Ansätzen, das frühe Christentum innerhalb seines lebensweltlichen Kontexts zu verstehen, ist die Untersuchung des epigraphischen Materials noch nicht fortgeschritten, sodass ein weites Forschungsfeld brach liegt. Der vorliegende Sammelband mit Beiträgen einer Konferenz an der Universität Wien vom Februar 2014 macht einen wichtigen Schritt bezüglich einer verbesserten Wahrnehmung dieses wesentlichen Bereichs antiker Dokumente. Dabei wirken neutestamentliche und epigraphische Blickwinkel und Forschungsansätze eng zusammen. So finden sich in diesem Band Erörterungen methodischer Fragen, die eine systematische Bearbeitung des inschriftlichen Materials im Blick haben, und Einzelstudien, die sich mit Gattungen von Inschriften befassen oder thematischen Ansätzen folgen.

Die Aufsätze in diesem Band befassen sich mit den Methoden, mit der die Forschung heutzutage versucht, Spuren von Doketismus in antiken Quellen, einschließlich der Evangelien und der Briefe des Johannes sowie zahlreicher Autoren des 2. Jahrhunderts, zu finden. Doketismus ist ein häufig verwendeter Ansatz in der Forschungsliteratur, um lose verbundene oder sogar äußerst unterschiedliche Phänomene oder Doktrinen zu bezeichnen, die alle mit der Definition des Wesens Christi und der Realität der Wiedergeburt und Passion Jesu zu tun haben. Das Symposium befasste sich aus einer neuen Perspektive mit dem Thema, indem es sich auf die antiken Dokumente selbst konzentrierte anstatt sich auf einer rein theoretischen oder dogmatischen Ebene zu bewegen und indem es den historischen Kontext, vor dem sie entstanden sind und verbreitet wurden, kritisch hinterfragte.

Der vorliegende Band enthält die Ergebnisse eines internationalen Kolloquiums, welches sich mit äußerst fragmentarischen Texten und anderen möglichen Quellen befasste sowie mit den "schemenhaften" Figuren und Bewegungen, die in diesen Texten erwähnt werden. Diese beiden Aspekte werden kombiniert und eingehend untersucht. Wie wurde in der Forschungsgeschichte mit ihnen umgegangen? Was geben sie darüber preis, wie die Gemeinde oder Gruppierung sich selbst durch solche Dokumente ausdrückt (oder wie sie sich dahinter versteckt)? Und welche Rolle kommt diesen Dokumenten und Figuren oder Gruppen im Gesamtbild der Entwicklungen in Theologie und religiösem Leben im frühen Christentum zu? Die Aufsätze leisten einen Beitrag zu einer kritischen Geschichte der Forschung zu dieser Art Dokumente und Bewegungen.Mit Beiträgen von:Gianfranco Agosti, Carl Johan Berglund, Johanna Brankaer, Jean-Daniel Dubois, Andrew Gregory, Wolfgang Grünstäudl, Elisabeth Hernitscheck, Tobias Nicklas, Michael Sommer, Christopher Tuckett, Joseph Verheyden, Korinna Zamfir

Der vorliegende Band enthält die Ergebnisse eines internationalen Kolloquiums, welches im Februar 2015 an der geisteswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der KU Leuven abgehalten wurden und Experten in (spät)antiker Philosophie und frühchristlichen Studien zusammenbrachte. Die Beiträger wurden gebeten, über die Rezeption zweier grundlegender Texte, die sich mit dem Ursprung der Welt befassen, zu reflektieren - dem dritten Buch von Platons Timaios und der Schöpfungsgeschichte aus Genesis. Die Organisatoren hatten zwei Ziele: Sie wollten ein Forum bieten, um den Dialog zwischen Kollegen aus diesen Fachgebieten voranzutreiben, indem sie aus vergleichender Perspektive sowohl ein entscheidendes Thema untersuchen, welches beide Traditionen teilen, als auch die literarischen Gattungen, durch die dieses Thema entwickelt und überliefert wurde.

Der vorliegende Band enthält die Ergebnisse einer internationalen Konferenz, die das Ziel verfolgte, den Dialog zwischen Neutestamentlern und Epigraphikern, die Interesse an der neutestamentlichen Forschung haben, zu fördern. Nachdem eine vorangegangene Tagung einen etwas allgemeineren Ansatz verfolgt hatte, legte diese den Schwerpunkt auf eine bestimmte Schrift. Der Brief an die Kolosser, obwohl relativ kurz, wurde ausgewählt, weil er aus epigraphischer Sicht interessantes Material enthält und zudem Möglichkeiten bietet, einem weiteren Blickwinkel auf paulinische Literatur zu eröffnen. Die enthaltenen Aufsätze bieten Einblicke in die Welt der vorgesehenen Adressaten, zeigen Möglichkeiten auf, epigraphisches Material zu kontextualisieren, und belegen anhand von Fallbeispielen, wie dieses Material, in Verbindung mit literarischen und archäologischen Zeugnissen, bei der Interpretation spezifischer Konzepte oder Leitmotive in den Briefen von Nutzen sein kann.

The Apocalypse of John belongs to the most puzzling texts of the New Testament. Historical-critical exegesis has been stressing that the book above all wishes to give a message of hope and comfort for a community under threat. Yet readers have also always been impressed and terrified by the many images of violence, including war, destruction, persecution and martyrdom, and the appearance of the devil and his demons. This book does not allow its readers to remain neutral.The present volume offers the proceedings of a conference that was held in Leuven, Belgium, in September 2009 and was organised by the general editors of the Novum Testamentum Patristicum. The conference focused on how early Christian and Patristic authors have coped with all these many passages that deal with various sorts of violence. The volume contains essays on most of the important commentators, Origen, Tyconius, Lactance, Victorin of Pettau, and those of a somewhat later age, Andreas of Caesarea, Oecumenius, and Bede, but also looks at the reception history on a larger scale. It also deals with issues of method in reading the Book of Revelation, with important themes (the 1000-year reign), the Jewish background of some of these motifs, and the reception of Patristic thought in the most important medieval commentator of the book, Joachim of Fiore.

While the so-called New perspective in Paul has been in the focus of New Testament exegesis for more than 25 years now, ancient interpretations of Pauline texts and ideas have been neglected widely. The present volume aims to fill this gap. Its articles concentrate on three different foci of modern exegesis: interpretations of Pauls conversion, his ideas about the relation of grace and works and the fate of Israel. Several additional articles contrast these ancient perspectives with answers of modern exegesis.

Studies on the Reception of the Resurrection Stories and the Belief in the Resurrection in the Early Church

Skickas inom 11-20 vardagar
The present volume contains the proceedings of the fourth symposium of the Novum Testamentum Patristicum project (NTP), an international re-search project on the reception history of the New Testament in the early Church. The symposium was held in October 2012 at the University of Leuven. It was organised by Joseph Verheyden, Tobias Nicklas, and An-dreas Merkt, the coordinators of NTP. The topic of the meeting was the reception of the resurrection and empty tomb stories and the development of the belief in resurrection in the early Church.The belief in the resurrection constitutes the core issue of Christianity and of Christian tradition. The earliest references to the resurrection and witnesses to such a belief are found in the canonical gospels and in the letters of Paul, but the topic obviously remained of the utmost importance all through the early Church. Contributions to this volume offer studies on reception of the resurrection and empty tomb stories and the development of the belief in resurrection in the early Church by examining the most important early references on this topic.

The Scriptures of Israel in Jewish and Christian Tradition is a collection of studies in honour of Professor Maarten J.J. Menken (Tilburg/Utrecht) and illustrates the rich diversity of approaches to biblical interpretation at the beginning of the Common Era. An international team of specialists share their insights on such topics as the availability of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts, Jewish and Christian hermeneutics, notions of authority and inspiration and even a study of inscriptions. Each in its own way demonstrates that the relationship between text and tradition, culture and belief is always complex.

Solomon is one of the more complex and fascinating characters in the history of Israel. As a king he is second only to David. As the king who gave Israel its temple he is unsurpassed. As the prototype of the sage his name lives on in numerous biblical and non-biblical writings. As the magician of later tradition he has established himself as a model for many other aspirants in this field. This volume contains the proceedings of an international conference on Solomon that was held at the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies of the University of Leuven, September 30 – October 2, 2009 and discussed various aspects of this multifaced character as he appears in Jewish, early Christian, and Islamic tradition.

Significant contribution to the retranslation studies of religious texts.Despite the lively scholarly discourse on retranslation and its manifest value for uncovering dynamics of cultural change, interpretation, and reception, the retranslation of religious texts has received only fragmented attention in recent years. By spanning both historical and current aspects, and by treating the Bible and the Qur’an together, this book breaks new ground and paves the way for future research on the myriad discursive and religious aspects of retranslation.This carefully curated collection of articles compellingly argues that the retranslation of canonical religious texts is a multi-faceted phenomenon. With cases ranging in time from the early Reformation to the present, and traversing linguistic contexts from Russia to Sweden, Slovenia to Saudi Arabia, the essays capture diverse dimensions of retranslation work. The collection demonstrates that retranslations of such texts manifest in different forms, depending on the religious, political and societal circumstances, the targeted audiences, and the status of existing translations. Their reception too may vary greatly, depending on those same circumstances. Authored by specialists in the different fields of retranslation of the Bible and the Qur’an, each contribution illustrates this complexity and offers a fresh perspective and insight that help lay the groundwork for future research in this area of study.
