In Exegeting the Jews: The Early Reception of the Johannine "Jews", Michael G. Azar analyzes the rhetorical function of the Gospel of John’s "Jews" in the earliest surviving full-length expositions of John in Greek: Origen’s Commentary on John (3rd cent.), John Chrysostom’s Homilies on John (4th cent.), and Cyril of Alexandria’s Commentary on John (5th cent.). While scholarship often has portrayed the reception history (Wirkungsgeschichte) of the Gospel’s “Jews” as simply and uniformly anti-Jewish or antisemitic, Azar demonstrates that these three writers primarily read John’s narrative typologically, employing the situation and characters in the Gospel not against contemporary Jews with whom they regularly interacted, but as types of each patristic writer’s own intra-Christian struggle and opponents.

Scripture Re-envisioned discusses the christological exegesis of biblical theophanies and argues its crucial importance for the appropriation of the Hebrew Bible as the Christian Old Testament. The Emmaus episode in Luke 24 and its history of interpretation serve as the methodological and hermeneutical prolegomenon to the early Christian exegesis of theophanies. Subsequent chapters discuss the reception history of Genesis 18; Exodus 3 and 33; Psalm 98/99 and 131/132; Isaiah 6; Habakkuk 3:2 (LXX); Daniel 3 and 7. Bucur shows that the earliest, most widespread and enduring reading of these biblical texts, namely their interpretation as "christophanies"— manifestations of the Logos-to-be-incarnate—constitutes a robust and versatile exegetical tradition, which lent itself to doctrinal reflection, apologetics, polemics, liturgical anamnesis and doxology

“The Teaching of These Words”: Intertextuality, Social Identity, and Early Christianity
Essays in Honor of Clayton N. Jefford

What does it mean for a group to speak of its identity and, in contrast, to speak about the “other”? As with all groups, early Christian communities underwent a process of identity formation, and in this process, intertextuality played a role. The choice of biblical texts and imageries, their reception and adaptation, affected how early Christian communities perceived themselves. Conversely, how they perceived themselves affected which texts they were drawn to and how they read and received them. The contributors to this volume examine how early Christian authors used Scripture and related texts and, in turn, how those texts shaped the identity of their communities.

Scripture in the Search for the Doctrine of God
Reading and Receiving the Bible in Christian Tradition. Essays in Honor of D.H. Williams

Scripture and the Search for the Christian Doctrine of God examines the dynamic exegetical traditions that shaped the fourth-century Trinitarian controversies and how these legacies of biblical reading have influenced both evaluations of the fourth century and subsequent use of patristic materials by scholars and theologians. Part I, “Legacies,” focuses on pre-Nicene reading practices with an eye towards how they were received in the fourth century and beyond. Part II, “Traditions,” investigates how fourth- and fifth-century theologians received and inherited pre-Nicene traditions of biblical reading. Part III, “Receptions,” highlights the way that patristic exegesis has been received in a variety of post-patristic contexts, including Medieval Chinese Christianity, early Renaissance Humanism, and Contemporary Evangelicalism. The result is a greater appreciation of the deeply biblical character of the early Christian search for the doctrine of God.
