New Testament scholar Johannes Beutler brings together a lifetime of study and reflection in this acclaimed commentary, first published in German in 2013 and now available to English-speaking audiences for the first time. Moving through the Gospel of John with a careful and critical eye, Beutler engages the relevant primary and secondary sources; summarizes the existing discussion; and presents syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic analyses of the text. As he meticulously examines the Fourth Gospel, Beutler pays special attention to the influence of Old Testament and Early Jewish traditions, to the overall structure of the Gospel of John, and to evidence suggesting a later stratum of contextualized "re-readings" in the composition of the Gospel. Bold, literary, and theological, this volume represents a landmark work of German biblical scholarship.
A collection of eighteen essays on the Gospels, Acts, and the letters of Paul, written throughout Gerald O’Collins's distinguished career.
"In this volume, Eric John Wyckoff examines four biblical texts which narrate encounters between a woman and a man at a well. The episodes in Genesis 24 and 29, Exodus 2 and John 4 share similar literary features, but the contrasts are revealing. Their complex interrelation represents an interpretive key."--
The idea of dedicating a Festschrift to honor Professor Frédéric Manns on the happy occasion of his 70th birthday came to mind in the autumn of 2011 and work on this project had been continuing ever since. Felicitously achieving this goal, the Faculty of Biblical Sciences and Archaeology (Studium Biblicum Franciscanum) and the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land present this volume to Father Manns with gratitude for his profound scholarship and a lifetime service in the Holy Land. Perusing through Father Manns’ writings, it is easy to see a prominent and distinctive place devoted to the Gospel of John. It seemed therefore suitable to focus on this subject in the Festschrift honoring him:...
Formerly known by its subtitle “Internationale Zeitschriftenschau für Bibelwissenschaft und Grenzgebiete”, the International Review of Biblical Studies has served the scholarly community ever since its inception in the early 1950’s. Each annual volume includes approximately 2,000 abstracts and summaries of articles and books that deal with the Bible and related literature, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, Pseudepigrapha, Non-canonical gospels, and ancient Near Eastern writings. The abstracts – which may be in English, German, or French - are arranged thematically under headings such as e.g. “Genesis”, “Matthew”, “Greek language”, “text and textual criticism”, “exegetical methods and approaches”, “biblical theology”, “social and religious institutions”, “biblical personalities”, “history of Israel and early Judaism”, and so on. The articles and books that are abstracted and reviewed are collected annually by an international team of collaborators from over 300 of the most important periodicals and book series in the fields covered.
Includes various reports of the Association.
A fresh look at how Christianity and Judaism became two distinct religions through the parting of their intellectual traditions How, when, and why did Christianity and Judaism diverge into separate religions? Emanuel Fiano reinterprets the parting of the ways between Jews and Christians as a split between two intellectual traditions, a split that emerged within the context of ancient debates about Jesus’s relationship to God and the world. Fiano explores how Christianity moved away from Judaism through the development of new practices for religious inquiry. By demonstrating that the constitution of communal borders coincided with the elaboration of different methods for producing religious knowledge, the author shows that Christian theological controversies, often thought to teach us nothing beyond the history of dogma, can cast light on the broader religious landscape of late antiquity. Three Powers in Heaven thus marks not only a historical but also a methodological intervention in the study of the parting of the ways and in scholarship on ancient religion.

Il volume raccoglie gli Atti del convegno del Dipartimento di Teologia dell’evangelizzazione della Facoltà Teologica dell’Emilia-Romagna, appuntamento nato dal duplice desiderio di fare un bilancio sull’oltre trentennale attività della Scuola teologica bolognese e di riqualificare la riflessione e la ricerca sullo statuto epistemologico della disciplina. L’intento è mettersi in dialogo con le altre scuole teologiche che si occupano della stessa materia, con l’obiettivo di superare la frammentarietà in cui vive la teologia contemporanea.
Ha ancora senso insegnare religione nella scuola e in un contesto di diffusa indifferenza per il dato religioso? Quali sono le ragioni che sostengono una formazione culturale di questo tipo e che motiva l’esistenza degli Istituti Superiori di Scienze Religiose? Siamo entrati ormai nella nuova e velocissima rivoluzione segnata dall’intelligenza artificiale. I notevoli progressi delle nuove tecnologie presentano entusiasmanti opportunità e nello stesso tempo rischi notevoli. Le giovani generazioni stanno crescendo in ambienti culturali pervasi da tali sviluppi e questo non può che mettere in discussione i metodi di insegnamento e formazione. L’educazione a confronto con le diverse form...
