Description
The contributors to this volume offer a bold re-reading of Hebrews and 1 Peter from the perspective of the Global South. The chapters provide enriching new hermeneutical and theological insights, revealing facets of the text that may not at first be apparent to readers within a Eurocentric context.
The volume is thus able to explore topics ranging from the authorship of Hebrews in the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition and the Batak reading of Christus Victor, to a Xhosa perception of the solidarity and sacrifice of Jesus, and intercultural readings of Christian identity in the context of persecution. With an introduction and final response by scholars from the Global North, Reading Hebrews and 1 Peter from Majority World Perspectives encourages awareness of how the Global South contributes to world Christianity.

Encountering the Parables in Contexts Old and New
The contributors to this book pursue three important lines of inquiry into parable study, in order to illustrate how these lessons have been received throughout the millennia. The contributors consider not only the historical and material world of the parables’ composition, focusing on the social, political, economic, and material reality of that world, but also seek to connect how the...Paperback$13600Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 2-3 weeks -
Exodus in the New Testament
In focusing exclusively on the book of Exodus and its constant allusions in the New Testament, this new collection of studies seeks both to increase knowledge of the textual transmission of Exodus in the first century, and to encourage further methodological reflection on the use of Scripture vs. scriptural traditions as employed by ancient authors. First exploring the role of...Paperback$6899Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Paul and Asklepios
What role did offers of physical healing (or the hope of receiving it) play in the missionary programme of the apostle Paul?

Such questions have been broadly neglected in studies...Paperback$6899Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Paul, The Apostle of Obedience
Jason A. Myers reconsiders the meaning and context of the phrase the obedience of faith in Rom 1:5 and how it contributes to the theme of obedience in Romans. In contrast to previous studies that have nearly exclusively focused on the obedience language in light of the Hebrew Bible and Second Temple literature, Myers instead investigates how this language functioned...Paperback$13600Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 2-3 weeks -
Reading Acts Theologically

The Pauline Book and the Dilemma of Ephesians
Benjamin J. Petroelje argues that how one reads Ephesians is a function of deeper questions about how to read the Pauline book. Petroelje suggests the contemporary consensus—that Ephesians depicts development of or away from the “real Paul”—is largely a construct of modern criticism, rooted in shifting strategies about how to read a letter collection that developed in the 19th-century.

Locating the Kingdom of God
This book offers a new, multidisciplinary way of thinking about the Kingdom of God which fully recognises its sociological and spatial significance in performing boundaries of the sacred.

Luke’s Characters in their Jewish World
Jenny Read-Heimerdinger explores the characters of Luke-Acts in order to situate them in the Jewish world to which they belong.

Taking account of the Jewish features allows new...Paperback$13300Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 2-3 weeks -
