This volume contributes to the study of the identity of Jesus,
focusing on how he was originally perceived both by his
contemporaries and in the earliest Christian writings. The essays
include studies of methodology, archaeology, background, individual
gospel perspectives, gospel relationships, intertextuality in the
gospels, the earliest reception of the Jesus tradition in the
post-Easter writings of the New Testament, and the missiological
and pedagogical implications of Jesus' teaching. John Nolland is
the reason for this volume, and his important writings on the
gospels are its backdrop. The contributors, who include N.T.
Wright, Craig Evans, Darrell Bock, Rainer Riesner and Roland
Deines, pay tribute to Nolland's work and ideas, by drawing on his
writings, and by exploring questions and issues close to his heart.
This book provides a theologically rich commentary on the challenge
of addiction and the long road to recovery. Written by a minister
with extensive experience working with people who struggle with
addictions, this book helps pastors understand the roots and
realities of our universal human struggle with addictions and
attachments while showing that together we have great hope for
freedom, wholeness, and recovery. Readers will learn how to create
and foster a Beatitude Community, the kind of environment Jesus
prescribed for his people, to help addicts and those who love them
heal from brokenness. Foreword by Bob Ekblad. About the Series
Pastors are called to help people navigate the profound mysteries
of being human, from birth to death and everything in between. This
series, edited by leading pastoral theologian Jason Byassee,
provides pastors and pastors-in-training with rich theological
reflection on the various seasons that make up a human life,
helping them minister with greater wisdom and joy.
The way Luke uses and interprets Scripture continues to captivate
many. In his new work, The Prophets Agree, a title inspired by
James' words at the Jerusalem Council, Aaron W. White turns over
one rock that has remained untouched. Interpretation of the four
quotations of the Minor Prophets in Acts frequently isolates each
citation from the other. However, this full-length study of the
place of the Minor Prophets in Acts asks what difference it makes
to regard these four quotations as a singular contribution to Acts
from a unifi ed source. By an in-depth study of each quotation, an
innovative method of intertextuality, and an eye to the overall
agenda of Acts, White proves the importance of reading the Twelve
Prophets in unity when it is quoted in Acts, and the integral role
it plays in the redemptive-historical plotline of Acts.
