Over the last few decades, our knowledge of how the human mind and brain works increased dramatically. The field of cognitive science enables us to understand religious traditions, rituals, and visionary experiences in novel ways. This has implications for the study of the New Testament and early Christianity. How people in the ancient Mediterranean world remembered sayings and stories, what they experienced when participating in rituals, how they thought about magic and miracle, and how they felt and reasoned about moral questions--all of that can be now better understood with the help of insights from cognitive science. Istvan Czachesz argues that the field of New Testament Studies witnesses the beginning of a cognitive turn. He surveys relevant developments in the Cognitive Science of Religion and explores the field of cognitive and behavioral sciences in search of opportunities of gaining new insights about biblical materials. Czachesz presents some methodological tools and initial steps, together with a large number of examples of applying the cognitive approach to the New Testament and related ancient literature.

New Testament Theology in a Secular World is an important and original new work in Christian apologetics. It is the first book to apply constructivist theory to biblical studies.Biblical Studies scholar Peter Lampe tackles head on such questions as: What do we understand by "reality?" How does this relate to what theology calls the "reality of God" or the "reality of resurrection?" How can we account for the concept of "revelation"? Lampe argues that in talking about "reality" theologians must make an effort to engage with the concept of "reality" as it is discussed in the fields of philosophical epistemology and sociology of knowledge. However, as Lampe shows, Theology has so far hardly or only reluctantly participated in this dialogue.

All the essays in the collection focus on ethos and rhetoric. Biblical criticism as traditionally carried out seeks rigorous scrutiny of texts and backgrounds but fails to reflect upon the sociopolitical frameworks, cultural-religious implications, and symbolic universes of biblical texts and their interpretations. These essays argue that biblical critics need a more profound sense of critical rhetoric and ethic of inquiry to bring about a change in the ethos and ethics of biblical studies. Topics range from "the ethical appeal of the Chronicler" and "gendering moral discourse in Paul" to the "undercover ethos of Paul, God's double agent."

"Fluchen ist in der antiken Welt ein Alltagsphänomen. Dabei setzten antike Menschen für Flüche, die besonders wirksam sein sollten, auf das geschriebene Wort. Vielhundertfach haben sich entsprechende Fluchtafeln (defixiones) auf Blei und anderen Schriftträgern erhalten. Die Texte erlauben einen faszinierenden Einblick in eine dunkle Welt des antiken Alltags, in den Umgang mit Konkurrenzsituationen aller Art und in erlittene Unrechtserfahrungen. In diesen Texten lassen antike Menschen der Befriedigung ihrer Bedürfnisse und dem Wunsch nach Rache unter Rückgriff auf übermenschliche Mächte freien Lauf. Nicht selten wünschen sie ihrem Gegenüber dabei den Tod an den Hals. Die Beiträge in diesem Band nehmen die antiken defixiones erstmals großflächig aus exegetischer Sicht in den Blick und ziehen sie in produktiver Weise zur Interpretation neutestamentlicher Texte heran."
