New in the Acclaimed Paideia Commentary Series Two respected senior
New Testament scholars examine cultural context and theological
meaning in Philippians and Philemon in this addition to the
well-received Paideia series. Paideia commentaries explore how New
Testament texts form Christian readers by attending to the ancient
narrative and rhetorical strategies the text employs, showing how
the text shapes theological convictions and moral habits, and
making judicious use of maps, photos, and sidebars in a
reader-friendly format. Students, pastors, and other readers will
appreciate the historical, literary, and theological insight
offered in this practical commentary.
2015 Book of the Year Award, Academy of Parish Clergy Amid
conflicting ideas about what the church should be and do in a
post-Christian climate, the missing voice is that of Paul. The New
Testament's most prolific church planter, Paul faced diverse
challenges as he worked to form congregations. Leading biblical
scholar James Thompson examines Paul's ministry of planting and
nurturing churches in the pre-Christian world to offer guidance for
the contemporary church. The church today, as then, must define
itself and its mission among people who have been shaped by other
experiences of community. Thompson shows that Paul offers an
unprecedented vision of the community that is being conformed to
the image of Christ. He also addresses contemporary
(mis)understandings of words like missional, megachurch, and
formation.
Beginning as a marginal group in Galilee, the movement initiated by
Jesus of Nazareth became a world religion within 100 years. Why,
among various religious movements, did Christianity succeed? This
major work by internationally renowned scholar Udo Schnelle traces
the historical, cultural, and theological influences and
developments of the early years of the Christian movement. It shows
how Christianity provided an intellectual framework, a literature,
and socialization among converts that led to its enduring
influence. Senior New Testament scholar James Thompson offers a
clear, fluent English translation of the successful German edition.
