Book Description
Frederik Poulsen investigates the role of the Old Testament in biblical theology. Analyzing the works of Brevard Childs and Hans Hubner, he addresses main issues regarding the different versions of the Old Testament (the Hebrew Bible and the Greek Septuagint) and the significance of the New Testament's use of the Old. The author explores the interpretative implications of these issues by focusing extensively on Isaiah 42:1-9. The Hebrew version as such is ambiguous regarding the servant figure being portrayed, his identity, and his task. The Septuagint renders several key terms and statements differently and the reception of the passage in the New Testament reveals a manifold of diverse interpretations. Common to all versions is the servant's role as a mediator between God and the nations. Frederik Poulsen shows that this central task is constantly being reapplied to new servant figures.

Book Description
The study of God’s covenants – and understanding their everlasting nature – is one of the essential keys to unlocking Scripture. James R. Ward explores the Bible in rich detail in this book. Whether you are just beginning to study God’s word or are a seasoned student, his insights will help you understand sacred history. In straightforward language, the author answers questions such as: • Why has God chosen to interact with us via promises and covenants? • What can we learn from God’s covenant with Noah? • What other important covenants can we find in the Bible – and what do they mean? For many people these days, the Bible is irrelevant. For others, it contains meaningful stories, poetry, prophecy, and directives that enlighten us, guide us, and direct us back to God. However, without a road map, it’s easy to misinterpret the signs and directives along the way. Get the guidance you need to walk closer to the Lord and fully understand and embrace His promises with Everlasting Covenants.

Book Description
"The book has more than historical interest for Anglicans. It has a distinct contribution to make to the doctrine of the church and the theology of minstry." -- James E. Griffiss Professor of Systematic Theology at Nashota House "A classic theological study worthy of serious reading and thought. Ramsey's careful--often moving and beautiful--exposition of his 'underlying conviction' includes deep probing of the Bible, a survey of the unfolding understanding of Christ and the church, a profound insight into the being of the church as a dying and rising again with Christ, an appreciation of Eastern Orthodox thought, a testimonial to the positive intentions--even the necessity--of the Reformers, a theologically-grounded advocacy of renewed liturgical worship, and a passion for the reunion of all Christians." --Andrew F. Wissemann Bishop of Western Massachusetts from the Preface to the American Edition

Book Description
Using the method of intertextuality, Adrian Leske has traced the growth of the prophetic vision from Amos to the Exile, demonstrating how, after the Exile, the dominant influence on that vision down to the time of Jesus is the positive and new message of Deutero-Isaiah. With opposition from the Zadokite priesthood, and exploitation from foreign rulers, the prophetic and Levite communities find refuge in Upper Galilee and surrounding areas. Using the Gospel of Matthew, the most Jewish of the Gospels, Leske demonstrates how that vision impacted the teaching of Jesus to these communities and how he perceived his mission as the Servant/Son of man. Understanding this prophetic vision and the Jewish nature of Matthew’s Gospel brings new insights to Matthean Christology, as well as the authorship and date of that Gospel in relation to the other Gospels.
Author: Euichang Kim Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing ISBN: 0567684962 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 199
Book Description
Euichang Kim focuses upon the phrase “the fear of God”, drawn from 2 Corinthians' exhortation to reconcile with God. As opposed to these words appearing from no particular source, Kim points to the wider contexts of Old Testament passages quoted by Paul, and demonstrates that God's eschatological promises – in particular his coming judgment, his promise to redeem his people, and the prospect of a new covenant – are intertwined with this motif of “fear”. Beginning with an analysis of the meaning of fear in both the Old Testament and the New, Kim proceeds to the context of fear within 2 Corinthians, Scripture, the writings of Second Temple Judaism and the very eschatology of Paul, suggesting that it stems from an awareness of God's judgment to come and serves to motivate righteous behavior. Kim finally argues that, in the context of 2 Corinthians, the “fear of God” functions as the proper response to God's saving acts in Christ, and provides motivation for believers to pursue a holy life in anticipation of the eschatological judgment to come.
