This volume brings together an international group of scholars on
Mark and Paul, respectively, who reopen the question whether Paul
was a direct influence on Mark. On the basis of the latest methods
in New Testament scholarship, the battle over Yes and No to this
question of literary and theological influence is waged within
these pages. In the end, no agreement is reached, but the basic
issues stand out with much greater clarity than before. How may one
relate two rather different literary genres, the apostolic letter
and the narrative gospel? How may the theologies of two such
different types of writing be compared? Are there sufficient
indications that Paul lies directly behind Mark for us to conclude
that through Paul himself and Mark the New Testament as a whole
reflects specifically Pauline ideas? What would the literary and
theological consequences of either assuming or denying a direct
influence be for our reconstruction of 1st century Christianity?
And what would the consequences be for either understanding Mark or
Paul as literary authors and theologians? How far should we give
Paul an exalted a position in the literary creativity of the first
Christians? Addressing these questions are scholars who have
already written seminally on the issue or have marked positions on
it, like Joel Marcus, Margaret Mitchell, Gerd Theissen and Oda
Wischmeyer, together with a group of up-coming and senior Danish
scholars from Aarhus and Copenhagen Universities who have
collaborated on the issue for some years. The present volume leads
the discussion further that has been taken up in: "Paul and Mark"

John's Transformation of Mark brings together a cast of
internationally recognised biblical scholars to investigate the
relationship between the gospels of Mark and John. In a significant
break with the prevailing view that the two gospels represent
independent traditions, contributors argue that John both knew of
and used the earlier gospel to write his own text. Drawing on
recent analytical categories such as social memory, 'secondary
orality,' or 'relecture,' and ancient literary genres such as
'rewritten Bible', historiography and bioi, the central questions
that drive this volume focus on how John used Mark, whether we
should speak of 'dependence,' 'familiarity with,' or 'reception,'
and whether John intended his work to be a supplement to or a
replacement of Mark. Together these contributions mount a strong
case for a complete reassessment of one of the key tenets of modern
biblical criticism, opening up significant new avenues for future
research.
Having presented a brief history of research on 2 Corinthians,
Eve-Marie Becker outlines the process of Paul's communication with
the Corinthian community and considers letter-production and
letter-reception at the time. She develops a "literary-historical"
model for reconstructing the original separate letters (1.1-7.4;
7.5-16; 8--9; 10--13) which were later compiled to form the
canonical letter. She defines - by means of linguistics and
communication theory - the central theoretical elements for Pauline
letter-hermeneutics. There is a thorough exegesis of those parts of
2 Corinthians in which Paul formulates aspects of his hermeneutics,
based on the theory of letter-hermeneutics and on the results of
the "literary-historical" reconstruction of the original form of 2
Corinthians. There is also an examination of the reception and
interpretation of 2 Corinthians in the early church. This is volume
279 in the Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement
series.
Das Handbuch bietet eine umfassende Einfuhrung in die historischen,
literatur- und religionsgeschichtlichen Zusammenhange, in denen
eminente religioese und literarische Texte in der Antike
kanonisiert wurden. Es diskutiert zugleich die entscheidenden
Faktoren, Grunde und wirkungsgeschichtlichen Folgen dieser
Kanonisierungsprozesse: Es werden u.a. Homer und Vergil, die
Septuaginta und Qumran, einzelne fruhchristliche Texte und das Neue
Testament in Hinblick auf ihre Kanonizitat miteinander in Beziehung
gesetzt. Indem die genannten Textsammlungen aus den Bereichen der
griechischen, lateinischen, judischen und fruhchristlichen
Textkultur gewahlt werden, wird ein vergleichender und
multiperspektivischer Einblick in die Konstruktion, Autorisierung
und Interpretation von Texten und Autoren, die Teil kanonisch
gewordener Textcorpora geworden sind, moeglich. So bietet das
Handbuch eine differenzierte Zusammenschau zur Erfassung und
Beschreibung der vielfaltigen Aspekte antiker religioeser und
literarischer Kanonisierungsprozesse. Es nimmt dabei besonders die
soziale Konstruktion und Funktion von kanonischen Textsammlungen in
den Blick und fragt nach moeglichen kanonspezifischen Formen von
literarischer und religioeser Kommunikation. Zugleich werden auf
der Grundlage der modernen Text-, Kultur-, Literatur- und
Medienforschung wichtige hermeneutische Fragen zur
Rezeptionsgeschichte, Deutung und moeglichen Fortschreibung dieser
Textsammlungen bis in die gegenwartige Kanondebatte hinein
diskutiert.
Die Beitrage zielen darauf, die historischen und politischen,
kulturellen, literatur- und religionsgeschichtlichen sowie
theologischen Aspekte, die mit den Anfangen von Historiographie in
der Antike verbunden sind, zu benennen und in einem Kultur- und
Literaturvergleich gegenuberzustellen. Die Diskussionen zum Begriff
des Anfangs werden zudem wissenschaftsgeschichtlich reflektiert und
verortet. Einzelne Beitrage befassen sich mit historiographischen
Sonderformen (Apokalyptik, Biographie, Listen).

Humility in the modern world is neither well understood nor well
received. Many see it as a sign of weakness; others decry it as a
Western construct whose imposition onto marginalized persons only
perpetuates oppression. This skepticism has a long pedigree:
Aristotle, for instance, pointed to humility as a shameless front.
What then are we to make of the New Testament's valorization of
this trait? Translated from German into English for the first time,
Paul on Humility seeks to reclaim the original sense of humility as
an ethical frame of mind that shapes community, securing its
centrality in the Christian faith. This exploration of humility
begins with a consideration of how the concept plays into current
cultural crises before considering its linguistic and philosophical
history in Western culture. In turning to the roots of Christian
humility, Eve-Marie Becker focuses on Philippians 2, a passage in
which Paul appeals to the lowliness of Christ to encourage his
fellow Christians to persevere. Becker shows that humility both
formed the basis of the ethic Paul instilled in churches and acted
as a mimetic device centered on Jesus' example that was molded into
the earliest Christian identity and community. Becker resists the
urge to cheapen humility with mere moralism. In the vision of Paul,
the humble individual is one immersed in a complex, transformative
way of being. The path of humility does not constrain the self;
rather, it guides the self to true freedom in fellowship with
others. Humility is thus a potent concept that speaks to our
contemporary anxieties and discomforts. Not for sale in Europe.
Already Scripture asks many questions regarding anthropological
problems. In the 20th century, the scholarly field of anthropology
has become a lot more complex heuristically, methodically and
hermeneutically. Therefore, modern research needs to answer arisen
questions considering a wide range of disciplines: Sociology,
Philosophy, Ethics and also Empirical Research. This volume is an
interdisciplinary project within theology. Contributions seek to
not only reflect the state of the art in anthropological research
from a theological point of view, but also provide a theological
interpretation of one virulent question: What is a Human?
This book provides an introductory-level exploration of geophysical
fluid dynamics (GFD), the principles governing air and water flows
on large terrestrial scales. Physical principles are illustrated
with the aid of the simplest existing models, and the computer
methods are shown in juxtaposition with the equations to which they
apply. It explores contemporary topics of climate dynamics and
equatorial dynamics including the Greenhouse Effect, global
warming, and the El Nino Southern Oscillation.
Combines both physical and numerical aspects of geophysical
fluid dynamics into a single affordable volume
Explores contemporary topics such as the Greenhouse Effect, global
warming and the El Nino Southern Oscillation
Biographical and historical notes at the ends of chapters trace the

Die in diesem Band versammelten Aufsätze von Oda Wischmeyer, vier
davon bisher unveröffentlicht, gelten der Paulusforschung. Die
Aufsätze spiegeln die dynamische Entwicklung der Paulusforschung
der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte und dienen gleichzeitig der Entwicklung
einer eigenen Paulusinterpretation: beyond the new, the radical new
and the "Paul within Judaism" perspectives on Paul . Paulus wird
aus vier Blickrichtungen erschlossen: erstens als eigenständiger
historischer Akteur der frühen Kaiserzeit; zweitens als Theologe,
der die religiöse Tradition Israels und ihre Weltdeutung von
seiner Christuserfahrung her neu interpretiert; drittens als Autor
intellektuell anspruchsvoller Brieftexte; und viertens als eine der
Gestalten, die das europäische Denken geprägt haben, oder anders
gesagt: als eine Gestalt der europäischen Ideengeschichte, deren
Wirkung aber längst eine globale geworden ist.

Philo of Alexandria and Flavius Josephus are amongst the most
influential ancient writers. In his long scholarly career, Per
Bilde (1939-2014) published various essays, studies and articles
examining early Judaism and the historical Jesus from the angle of
the work of Philo and Josephus. Many of the articles contain
in-depth treatment of primary sources, and thus are of great value
for scholars to come. The studies in this volume have yet been
compiled by Per Bilde himself. They are now edited posthumously
with contributions from Steve Mason (Groningen) and Mogens M|ller
(Copenhagen) responding to Bilde's work.
