The history of dictionaries specifically intended for the Greek New Testament opens with a Greek-Latin glossary of seventy-five unnumbered pages in the first volume of the Complu- tensian Polyglot of 1522, including the words of the New Testament, Ecclesiasticus, and the Wisdom of Solomon. The incompleteness, inaccuracy, and elementary character of this glossary reflect the low state of Greek studies at the time it was published, but it was the first in a long and useful succession of New Testament lexical works.
The story to be told in this Gospel begins with the words, “A man came, sent from God. John was his name” (1:6). This means that the five preceding verses must be taken as a kind of preface or preamble, in keeping with the principle stated by John himself that “The One coming after me ... was be- fore me” (v. 15; see also v. 30). This will be new to generations of readers who are accustomed to setting the first eighteen verses of the Gospel apart as “The Prologue.”
The title of this work-Kingdom of Priests-suggests at once the peculiar nature of a history of Israel: It cannot be done along the lines of normal historical scholarship because it relies primarily upon documents (the Old Testament) that are fundamentally nonhistoriographic in character.
The Old Testament is first and foremost theological and not historical literature; this means that theological and not historical approaches must be brought to bear if its underlying purpose and message are to be discerned.
The origins of the present work lie in my unpublished doctoral dissertation (1973, on Isa 1-66) of which a considerable section dealt with poetic devices and, in part, with poetic technique. My interest in poetry since led to extensive reading in literary criticism, particularly studies with a linguistic approach. The impetus for actually writing a book came from Dr John Gibson while I was at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, Edinburgh.
Перевод и обширные примечания были предприняты более двадцати учеными-библеистами , которые работали непосредственно с лучшими в настоящее время текстами на иврите, арамейском и древнегреческом языках. NET Библия была первоначально задумана на ежегодной встрече Общества библейской литературы в ноябре 1995 года в Филадельфии , штат Пенсильвания.
In this present volume we will not discuss 1, 2, and 3 John, for in style, theology, and probably historical origin they fit better with the Fourth Gospel and thus are included in "The Theology of John's Gospel and Letters" in this series.
I lived the life of the twofold Law; I believed in its divine source; I had faith in a Father-God who would lift my soul into the world to come and raise my body from the dead. When my grandmother died, I, as a child of nine, was as certain that her soul was in heaven as I was certain that she had died. And what a source of comfort that belief!
Ellis Rivkin - A hidden revolution - The Pharisees' Search for the Kingdom within
A quarter century has now passed since George Lindbeck first published The Nature of Doctrine. 1 With the passage of time this slim volume has emerged as one of the most influential works of academic theology to appear in English in the last fifty years. It would be difficult to find a theologian in North America or Britain who lacks an opinion on it, often, as the bibliography appended to this twenty-fifth anniversary edition shows, a published one.
Теологи отреагировали по-разному на вызовы создаваемые теориями постмодерна.
Постмодерн не допускает ни веру в абсолют, ни веру в смысл. Но богословие все еще соотносимо и с абсолютом и со смыслом. Как же тогда богословие укладывается в постмодернизме? Возможно ли постмодернистское богословие или же сухая концепция в противоречивых терминах? Стоит ли богословию относиться к постмодернизму серьезно или заниматься только своими собственными категориями? И способно ли оно к этому?
This is a book about God and hermeneutics. It is a plea for being hermeneutical about theology, and for being theological about hermeneutics. To be precise: it is an argument for the importance of treating the questions of God, Scripture and hermeneutics as one problem. This one, admittedly complex problematic defines what I call "first theology.
This is a book about everyday theology, written by everyday theologians for everyday theologians.
Everyday theology is the reflective and practical task of living each day as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. Theology is not for Sundays only. Disciples must walk the Christian way the whole weekend and throughout the workweek. Theology is an everyday affair: to live to the glory of God is a full-time privilege and pursuit. Everyday theology is the mandate of every Christian who is actively trying to walk the way of truth and life.
