Paul opposed Rome with Christ against Caesar, not because that empire was particularly unjust or oppressive, but because he questioned the normalcy of civilization itself, since civilization has always been imperial, that is, unjust and oppres...

Scholars have considered the difference between Gen 1:27, which announces the simultaneous creation of man and woman, and Gen 2:20-22, which records woman’s later creation as a divine afterthought, thus arguably demonstrating her inferiority....

The publication of the first true atlas of Jerusalem is an occasion for much rejoicing, for Jerusalem has held a firm grip on the hearts and imaginations of men and women since King David made it the capital of ancient Israel some 3,000 years...

I wrote my first article on the history of the halakha forty-seven years ago. Two years later I submitted to the Dropsie College my doctoral dissertation, Megilat Taanit as a Source for Jewish Chronology and History in the Hellenistic and...

Different commentaries emphasize differing primary concerns, such as redaction criticism (Gundry 1982), structuralism (Patte 1987), and the history of interpretation (Luz 1989; cf. idem 1994; Schnackenburg 1996). Without minimizing or excludin...

This systematic theology explores the classic teachings of the Reformed Christian faith from a perspective that is biblical, doctrinal, experiential, and practical. Today's churches need theology that engages the head, heart, and hands. Too of...

The book of James has been dubbed 'the enigma of the New Testament', and critical opinion regarding the letter is unusually diverse.   Some attribute James to a brother of Jesus and deem it to be the earliest extant Christian writi...
