The subjects of rhetoric, history, and theology intersect in unique
ways within New Testament and early Christian literature. The
contributors of this volume represent a wide range of perspectives
but share a common interest in the interpretation of these texts in
light of their rhetorical, historical, and theological elements.
What results is a fresh and perceptive reading of the New Testament
and early Christianity literature.
A Top Ten Book for Parish Ministry in 2017, Academy of Parish
Clergy A Jesus Creed 2017 Book of the Year (Honorable Mention) From
facing wild beasts in the arena to governing the Roman Empire,
Christian women--as preachers and philosophers, martyrs and
empresses, virgins and mothers--influenced the shape of the church
in its formative centuries. This book provides in a single volume a
nearly complete compendium of extant evidence about Christian women
in the second through fifth centuries. It highlights the social and
theological contributions they made to shaping early Christian
beliefs and practices, integrating their influence into the history
of the patristic church and showing how their achievements can be
edifying for contemporary Christians.
Ephesians speaks to our deepest questions about God: the redemptive
plan of God written from ages past now revealed; the work of Christ
complete and effective now and for eternity; the power of the Holy
Spirit to change lives and build a community. The clear message of
God's unfathomable grace establishes the believer's hope and
under-girds the call for faithful living. Down through the
centuries, the clarion call to unity that permeates Ephesians has
inspired and challenged the faithful to live out the promises found
in Christ. This short letter speaks to the twenty-first century's
longing for friendship and wholeness. Lynn H. Cohick is Associate
Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College. She is the author of
Women in the First Christian Century and co-author with Gary Burge
and Gene L. Green of The New Testament and Antiquity. 'Lynn
Cohick's commentary on Ephesians provides a practical explanation
and appropriation of the letter. She demonstrates that she is
well-informed about the issues, sane in her judgements, effective
in her communication, and that she cares about the lives of modern
Christians. Her knowledge of the ancient world allows her to bring
historical and sociological information to bear on the text and its
interpretation. People seeking an easily accessible and
non-technical treatment of Ephesians will enjoy this commentary.' -
