Abstract

After Jesus, Peter is the most frequently mentioned individual both in the Gospels and in the New Testament as a whole. He was the leading disciple, the "rock" on which Jesus would build his church. How can we know so little about this formative figure of the early church? In Simon peter in Scripture and Memory world-renowned New Testament scholar Markus Bockmuehl introduces the New Testament Peter by asking how first-and second-century sources may be understood through the prism of "living memory" among the disciples of the apostolic generation and the students of those disciples. He argues that early Christian memory of Peter underscores his central role as a bridge-building figure holding together the diversity of first-century Christianity. Drawing on more than a decade of research, Bockmuehl applies cutting-edge scholarship to the question of the history and traditions of this important but strangely elusive figure. Bockmuehl provides fresh insight into the biblical witness and early Christian tradition that New Testament students and professors will value.

Abstract

Markus Bockmuehl untersucht die sehr unterschiedlichen Darstellungen und Rezeptionen des Simon Petrus, die im zweiten Jahrhundert in Rom und Syrien kursieren. Dort finden sich bestimmte Gemeinden und Individuen, die - direkt oder indirekt - eine lebendige Erinnerung an die Apostel und ihre Schüler für sich beanspruchen. Der Autor stellt dieses individuelle, soziale und kulturelle Gedächtnis des Petrus zusammen und vergleicht es mit der neueren Forschung zu Jesus und Petrus. Anschließend befasst er sich mit der sehr komplexen Form der Erinnerung an Petrus in Syrien, mit der Frage nach dem Tod des Apostels in Rom, sowie mit der rätselhaften Figur des Simon Magus in den Pseudo-Klementinen. Schließlich stellt er diese Nachwirkung des Petrus in Zusammenhang mit historischen und exegetischen Fragestellungen zum Petrus des Neuen Testaments, wie die Bedeutung der Namen des Petrus, seine Herkunft aus Bethsaida und die exegetische Wirkungsgeschichte seiner bei Lukas berichteten "Bekehrung".

Abstract

This Companion takes as its starting point the realization that Jesus of Nazareth cannot be studied purely as a subject of ancient history, 'a man like any other man'. History, literature, theology and the dynamic of a living, worldwide religious reality, all appropriately impinge on the study of Jesus. The two parts of the book roughly correspond to the interdependent tasks of historical description and critical and theological reflection. It incorporates the most up-to-date historical work on Jesus the Jew with the 'bigger issues' of critical method, the story of Christian faith and study, and Jesus in a global church and in the encounter with Judaism and Islam. Written by seventeen leading international scholars, the book encourages students of the historical Jesus to discover the vital contribution of theology, and students of doctrine to engage the Christ of faith as Jesus the first-century Jew.

Abstract

In this reader-friendly guide, Markus Bockmuehl offers a sympathetic account of the ancient apocryphal gospel writings, showing their place within the reception history and formation of what was to become the canonical fourfold gospel. Bockmuehl begins by helping readers understand the early history behind these noncanonical gospels before going on to examine dozens of specific apocryphal texts. He explores the complex oral and intertextual relationships between the noncanonical and canonical gospels, maintaining that it is legitimate and instructive to read the apocryphal writings as an engagement with the person of Jesus that both presupposes and supplements the canonical narrative outline. Appropriate for pastors and nonspecialists, this work offers a fuller understanding of these writings and their significance for biblical interpretation in the church.

Abstract

The social and intellectual vitality of Judaism and Christianity in antiquity was in large part a function of their ability to articulate a viably transcendent hope for the human condition. Narratives of Paradise - based on the concrete symbol of the Garden of Delights - came to play a central role for Jews, Christians, and eventually Muslims too. The essays in this volume highlight the multiple hermeneutical perspectives on biblical Paradise from Second Temple Judaism and Christian origins to the systematic expositions of Augustine and rabbinic literature. They show that while early Christian and Jewish sources draw on texts from the same Bible, their perceptions of Paradise often reflect the highly different structures of the two sister religions. Dealing with a wide variety of texts, these essays explore major themes such as the allegorical and literal interpretations of Paradise, the tension between heaven and earth, and Paradise's physical location in space and time.
