New Testament Theology and its Quest for Relevance - Ancient Texts and Modern Readers (Hardcover, New): Thomas R. Hatina New Testament Theology and its Quest for Relevance - Ancient Texts and Modern Readers (Hardcover, New)
Thomas R. Hatina
R4,373 Discovery Miles 43 730 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

New Testament theology raises many questions, not only within its own boundaries, but also in relation to other fields such as history, literary criticism, sociology, psychology, history, politics, philosophy, and religious studies. But, the overarching question concerns the relevance of two thousand year old writings in today's world. How does one establish what is and is not relevant in the New Testament? How does one communicate the ancient ideas, presented in an alien language, alien time, and alien culture to a contemporary audience? This book is intended to serve as a methodological introduction to the field of New Testament theology, aimed at a range of readers-undergraduate and Seminary students, clergy, and laypersons interested in the relevance of scripture. It is a guide which aims to help readers understand how practitioners of New Testament theology have wrestled with the relationship between historical reconstruction of the New Testament, and its interpretation in the modern world.

In Search of a Context - The Function of Scripture in Mark's Narrative (Hardcover): Thomas R. Hatina In Search of a Context - The Function of Scripture in Mark's Narrative (Hardcover)
Thomas R. Hatina
R6,031 Discovery Miles 60 310 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In this book the author explores how contexts determine the meaning of embedded scripture texts in the Gospel of Mark. Many historical critics base their readings on a context that is external to Marks story world, be it a reconstructed socio-religious setting of the evangelist, a Jewish exegetical tradition or some earlier stage in the development of the gospel. What is common to these readings is the neglect for the context of the story world- the very context in which scripture quotations and allusions are embedded. The author proposes a method of reading these embedded texts that is sensitive to the story world, though not at the expense of the historical setting in which the gospel was written. Jesus' announcement in 1:15 concerning the kingdom of God serves as the point of entrance into Mark's story world.

Biblical Interpretation in Early Christian Gospels - Volume 4: The Gospel of John (Hardcover): Thomas R. Hatina Biblical Interpretation in Early Christian Gospels - Volume 4: The Gospel of John (Hardcover)
Thomas R. Hatina
R3,390 Discovery Miles 33 900 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume is the fourth in a set of volumes, which together explore current approaches to the study of scripture in the Gospels. Thomas R. Hatina's latest edited collection begins with an introduction surveying methodological approaches used in the study of how scriptural allusions, quotations, and references function in John, with subsequent essays grouped into four categories that represent the breadth of current interpretive interests. The contributors begin with historical-critical approaches, before moving to rhetorical and linguistic approaches, literary approaches, and finally social memory approaches. Each study contains not only recent research on the function of scripture in John, but also an explanation of the approach taken, making the collection an ideal resource for both scholars and students who are interested in the complexities of interpretation in John's context as well as our own.

Biblical Interpretation in Early Christian Gospels - Volume 3: The Gospel of Luke (Hardcover): Thomas R. Hatina Biblical Interpretation in Early Christian Gospels - Volume 3: The Gospel of Luke (Hardcover)
Thomas R. Hatina
R5,026 Discovery Miles 50 260 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The purpose of this volume is to gather together recent research by leading scholars on the interpretation of embedded Jewish scripture texts (quotations or allusions) in Luke's Gospel. While a diversity of methods is welcomed, contributors are encouraged to consider the function of embedded scripture texts in the context of the Gospel as a self-contained narrative written and read/heard in its early Christian setting. Essays on the function of scripture in the compositional history of the Gospel are also welcome, but they should take into account how the host narrative affects the meaning of embedded texts and/or vice versa. It is the aim of this volume (and series) to include not only narrative critics, but also those who are oriented toward more traditional historical-critical approaches with an aim at integration. Narrative-critical approaches have contributed significantly to our understanding of both Gospels as stories and the formation of Christianity as a religion. This volume (and series) attempts to direct the those insights onto the influence of the Jewish scriptures and their exegetical traditions.

Biblical Interpretation in Early Christian Gospels - Volume 2: The Gospel of Matthew (Hardcover, New): Thomas R. Hatina Biblical Interpretation in Early Christian Gospels - Volume 2: The Gospel of Matthew (Hardcover, New)
Thomas R. Hatina
R5,024 Discovery Miles 50 240 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This collection of essays is the second volume in a projected series of five volumes that gather together recent research by leading scholars on the narrative function of embedded Jewish scripture texts (quotations or allusions) in early Christian Gospels. While the contributors employ a diverse range of methods, their research is directed towards considering the function of embedded scripture texts in the context of the Gospels as self-contained narratives written and read/heard in their early Christian settings. The essays are arranged according to their appropriate methodological categories.

Biblical Interpretation in Early Christian Gospels Volume 1 - The Gospel of Mark (Hardcover): Thomas R. Hatina Biblical Interpretation in Early Christian Gospels Volume 1 - The Gospel of Mark (Hardcover)
Thomas R. Hatina
R6,006 Discovery Miles 60 060 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

"The second title in a proposed five-volume work; volume two, following on from the volume on Mark's Gospel, concentrates on Matthew's Gospel. Contributors consider the function of embedded scripture texts in the context of the Gospels written and read/heard in their early Christian settings. The project is wide ranging, with essays on the function of scripture in the compositional history of the gospels and the collection is broad in scope as a result of current interest in the integration of methods (especially historical and narrative ones). Advancements over the last 20 years in the study of genre and narrative criticism have left a void in the study of the function of embedded biblical texts in the Gospels. This collection of essays will move the study of scripture within scripture forwards."
