New Testament Studies

Reading with the Grain of Scripture

Richard B. Hays

“Richard Hays is arguably the most signi cant American New Testament scholar and theological interpreter of Scripture of the last half-century. Many of the essays in this wide-ranging collection have been groundbreaking and discipline shaping. Each one is highly perceptive both exegetically and theologically, for those dimensions of interpretation merge seamlessly in these exemplary pieces of rigorous scholarship as Christian discipleship. For many years I have told students and colleagues to read everything that Richard Hays writes; accomplishing that satisfying task is now much easier.” — MICHAEL J. GORMAN St. Mary’s Seminary & University, Baltimore

“ is  ne collection of essays represents the work of an outstanding scholar at the top of his game—intellectually rigorous, wide-ranging, and full of profound re ections that will enrich all those engaged in the theological interpretation of Scripture.” — JOHN M. G. BARCLAY Durham University

“Richard B. Hays opens this volume by modestly invoking Jesus’s parable about wheat and weeds growing together. But readers of Reading with the Grain of Scripture—and there will be many—will likely invoke a later line  om Ma hew 13: the scribe trained for the kingdom of heaven who ‘brings out of the treasure both what is new and what is old.’ Here we see both the abiding concerns of Hays’s career and their recent in ection in a volume that takes us across the canon of the New Testament and into the life of this  ne interpreter. A most welcome contribution!” — BEVERLY ROBERTS GAVENTA Baylor University

Richard B. Hays is George Washington Ivey Professor Emeritus of New Testament and former dean at Duke Divinity School. He is internationally recognized for his work on the le ers of Paul and New Testament ethics. His book  e Moral Vision of the New Testament was selected by Christianity Today as one of the 100 most important religious books of the twentieth century.

Empire, Economics, and the New Testament

Peter Oakes Foreword by Bruce W. Longenecker Peter Oakes has long been recognized for his illuminating use of Greco-Roman material culture and social-scienti c criticism to interpret the New Testament.  is volume brings together his best work and introduces a substantial new essay that challenges current scholarly approaches to paradoxical teachings of the New Testament.

Of special interest to Oakes throughout this book is the concrete impact of economic realities and Roman imperialism on  rst-century Christian communities meeting in house churches. To address this, Oakes considers an array of textual and archaeological resources from  rst-century non-elite life, including extensive archaeological evidence available from Pompeii. Readers will  nd here a deep trove of wisdom for understanding the New Testament in the context of the Greco-Roman world.

“Drawing together evidence  om archaeological sites such as Pompeii, social science models, and various pictures of ancient economic relations, Peter Oakes imagines how a diversity of people in early churches would have responded to the gospel of Paul and related messages of Christ in the Roman imperial world. Impressive in its range, this collection is highly suggestive for interpretation of texts and the social-economic situation of those addressed.” — RICHARD HORSLEY University of Massachusetts Boston

“Oakes has a unique ability to delve into ancient archaeological evidence and create a vivid and detailed picture of the communities who heard and were shaped by the New Testament writings.  ese essays provide stimulating and suggestive resources for interpreting Paul in his economic and imperial context.” — SYLVIA C. KEESMAAT Institute for Christian Studies, Toronto

Peter Oakes is Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester. His other books include Reading Romans in Pompeii: Paul’s Le er at Ground Level.

African American Readings of Paul

Reception, Resistance, and Transformation Lisa M. Bowens Foreword by Emerson B. Powery Afterword by Beverly Roberts Gaventa A historical survey of black Pauline hermeneutics  om the 1700s to the mid-twentieth century

 e le ers of Paul—especially the verse in Ephesians directing slaves to obey their masters—played an enormous role in promoting slavery and justifying it as a Christian practice. Yet despite this reality African Americans throughout history still utilized Paul extensively in their own work to protest and resist oppression, responding to his theology and teachings in numerous—o en starkly divergent and liberative—ways.

In the  rst book of its kind, Lisa Bowens takes a historical, theological, and biblical approach to explore interpretations of Paul within African American communities over the past few centuries. She surveys a wealth of primary sources from the early 1700s to the mid-twentieth century, including sermons, conversion stories, slave petitions, and autobiographies of ex-slaves, many of which introduce readers to previously unknown names in the history of New Testament interpretation. Along with their hermeneutical value, these texts also provide fresh documentation of black religious life through wide swaths of American history. A ican American Readings of Paul promises to change the landscape of Pauline studies and  ll an important gap in the rising  eld of reception history.

“It is di cult to imagine a more timely and yet timeless narrative of biblical hermeneutics than this important—and o en disturbing—volume  om Lisa Bowens. She introduces us to interpreters of the apostle Paul we all need to know, though few of us do.  is is not only a book about reception, resistance, and transformation, but also a book that o ers hope and healing.” — MICHAEL J. GORMAN St. Mary’s Seminary & University, Baltimore

“Lisa Bowens has o ered us an illuminating historical survey of various ways in which A ican American interpreters have engaged in vigorous, spirit-led readings of Paul’s le ers. She demonstrates that many of their writings have countered oppressive readings by white interpreters who, tragically, bu ressed violent practices of racism and slavery by pointing to Pauline proo exts. By recovering the voices of these A ican American witnesses, Bowens helps us see that a hermeneutics of trust can be—and has been—a hermeneutics of liberation.” — RICHARD B. HAYS Duke Divinity School

“Lisa Bowens demonstrates how a broad range of A ican American men and women  om the eighteenth to the twentieth century creatively adapted Paul’s writings in support of their various pursuits for social justice. Undoubtedly, readers will gain many new insights  om this extraordinary book which adds both breadth and depth to Paul’s relevance for our present age.” — PETER J. PARIS Princeton Theological Seminary

“In this era of renewed reckoning with racial injustice, scholars, students, and laypeople alike must come to terms with New Testament scholarship’s long-standing and unforgivable occlusion of A ican American voices. With this volume, Bowens issues a clarion call: Black biblical interpretation ma ers. It has always ma ered. May we all listen deeply and be transformed.” — MICHAL BETH DINKLER Yale Divinity School

“Among several  ne recent books on A ican American use of Scripture, African American Readings of Paul is one of the very best. Lisa Bowens pays careful a ention to what Black authors wrote about the apostle Paul, how they used his writings, and how they dealt with Pauline passages that seem to take slavery for granted.  is book makes a signal contribution to American history, but also to general hermeneutical questions about understanding and using the Scriptures.” — MARK A. NOLL author of The Civil War as a Theological Crisis

Lisa M. Bowens is associate professor of New Testament at Princeton  eological Seminary. She is also the author of An Apostle in Ba le: Paul and Spiritual Warfare in 2 Corinthians 12:1–10.

“In African American Readings of Paul, Lisa Bowens ably proves how a select set of A ican American interpreters of Paul  om the 1700s through the 1900s wrestled Paul  om the grips of pro-slavery and anti-Black interpretations. Bowens demonstrates how these A ican American authors interpreted Paul in subversive, disruptive, and revolutionary ways.” — DAVID D. DANIELS McCormick Theological Seminary

“[ is book] reveals an extensive A ican American (and proto-womanist) tradition engaged in the practice of reclaiming Paul  om white supremacist and black patriarchal discursive modes.” — EMERSON B. POWERY from the foreword

“Lisa Bowens’s work provides a glimpse into the life and thought of people for whom the interpretation of Paul has been nothing less than a ma er of life and death.  ey deserve our a ention, our respect, our emulation.” — BEVERLY ROBERTS GAVENTA from the afterword

Jesus, the New Testament, and Christian Origins

Perspectives, Methods, Meanings

Dieter Mi ernacht and Anders Runesson, editors Foreword by David E. Aune In this up-to-date introduction to the New Testament, twenty-two leading biblical scholars guide the reader through the New Testament’s historical background, key ideas, and textual content. Seminarians and anyone else interested in a deep understanding of Christian Scripture will do well to begin with this thorough volume that covers everything from the historical Jesus to the emergence of early Christianity.

Unique to this book is a special focus on interpretative methods, with several illustrative examples included in the  nal chapter of various types of scriptural exegesis on select New Testament passages. Readers are guided through the hermeneutical considerations of a historical text-oriented reading, a historical-analogical reading, a rhetorical-epistolary reading, argumentation analysis, feminist analysis, postcolonial analysis, and narrative criticism, among others.  ese practical, hands-on applications enable students to move from an abstract understanding of the New Testament to a ready ability to make meaning from Scripture.

“ is wonderful book expertly invites students into the academic study of the New Testament, not simply surveying the contents of the New Testament, but also introducing the historical contexts which gave rise to these writings and their collection into a canon. Best of all, it will empower students to dive into New Testament interpretation by modeling various methodological approaches to its study.” — MA HEW THIESSEN McMaster University

The Messianic Theology of the New Testament

Joshua W. Jipp

One of the earliest Christian confessions—that Jesus is Messiah and Lord— has long been recognized throughout the New Testament. Joshua Jipp shows that the New Testament is in fact built upon this foundational messianic claim, and each of its primary compositions is a unique creative expansion of this common thread. Having made the same argument about the Pauline epistles in his previous book Christ Is King: Paul’s Royal Ideology, Jipp works methodically through the New Testament to show how the authors proclaim Jesus as the incarnate, cruci ed, and enthroned messiah of God.

In the second section of this book, Jipp moves beyond exegesis toward larger theological questions, such as those of Christology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology, revealing the practical value of reading the Bible with an eye to its messianic vision.  e Messianic  eology of the New Testament functions as an excellent introductory text, honoring the vigorous pluralism of the New Testament books while still addressing the obvious question: what makes these twenty-seven di erent compositions one uni ed testament?

“Fantastically productive. ‘Jesus is the Christ’ is the core gospel confession. Yet how should it shape our theology and behavior? By a thematic reading of the New Testament that is creative yet faithful, Joshua Jipp shows that Jesus’s messianic identity is theologically generative and integrative in surprising ways. An important scholarly synthesis that feeds the mind, stirs the theological imagination, and encourages transformation into the king’s pa ern of life.” — MA HEW W. BATES Quincy University

“I was initially skeptical about the value of a new New Testament theology, but Jipp makes a convincing argument that asking about the unity of these twentyseven pieces of literature remains a vital question. While respecting the diverse voices of the twenty-seven books, he builds upon a growing consensus in scholarship to discover that unity in the radical claim that Jesus is the singular messianic king. With thorough exegesis, theological synthesis, and demanding ethics, Jipp provides an invaluable resource for serious study and application of the entire New Testament.” — AMY PEELER Wheaton College

Joshua W. Jipp is associate professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deer eld, Illinois. His previous books include Christ Is King: Paul’s Royal Ideology and Saved by Faith and Hospitality, which won the Academy of Parish Clergy’s Book of the Year award in 2018.

Interpreting Paul

The Canonical Paul, volume 2

Luke Timothy Johnson

With the contextual framework in place from volume 1 of  e Canonical Paul, Luke Timothy Johnson now probes each of the thirteen biblical le ers traditionally a ributed to the apostle Paul in a way that balances respect for historical integrity with a ention to present-day realities. In doing so, Johnson reforges the connection between biblical studies and the life of the church, seeking to establish once again the foundational and generative role that the thirteen le ers of Paul have had among Christians for centuries.

Far from being a “de nitive theology” of Paul, or an oversimpli ed synthesis, Interpreting Paul provides glimpses into various moments of Paul’s thinking and teaching that we  nd in Scripture, modeling how one might read his le ers closely for fresh, creative interpretations now and into the future. Approached in this way, both in minute detail and as a whole canon, Paul’s le ers yield rich insights, and his voice becomes accessible to all readers of the Bible.

Luke Timothy Johnson is Candler School of  eology’s Robert W. Woodru Professor Emeritus. He won the 2011 Grawemeyer Award in Religion for his Among the Gentiles: Greco-Roman Religion and Christianity. Johnson’s many other books include  e Revelatory Body, Brother of Jesus, Friend of God, and  e Writings of the New Testament.

Paul and the Power of Grace

John M. G. Barclay

Paul and the Gi transformed the landscape of Pauline studies upon its publication in 2015. In it, John Barclay led readers through a recontextualized analysis of grace and interrogated Paul’s original meaning in declaring it a “free gi ” from God, revealing grace as a multifaceted concept that is socially radical and unconditioned—even if not unconditional.

Paul and the Power of Grace o ers all of the most signi cant contributions from Paul and the Gi in a package several hundred pages shorter and more accessible. Additionally, Barclay adds further analysis of the theme of gi and grace in Paul’s other le ers—besides just Romans and Galatians—and explores contemporary implications for this new view of grace. for this new view of grace.

“ is book’s larger forerunner, Paul and the Gi , was packed full—full of both content and signi cance. Paul and the Power of Grace, somehow, is much shorter and still o ers all the goods. And more. With  esh material on other Pauline le ers and considerations of the theological and social rami cations of God’s christological and unconditioned gi , this book does what its title promises: it studies and isn’t ashamed to speak the gospel that is the power of God—the gospel of God’s grace.” — JONATHAN A. LINEBAUGH University of Cambridge

Paul’s Three Paths to Salvation

Gabriele Boccaccini Foreword by David Bentley Hart “We no longer need to separate Paul from Judaism in order to claim his Christianness,” writes Gabriele Boccaccini, “nor do we need to separate him from the early Jesus movement in order to state his Jewishness.” With this guiding principle Boccaccini unpacks the implications of Paul’s belonging simultaneously to Judaism and Christianity to arrive at the surprising and provocative conclusion that there are in fact three paths to salvation:

1. For Jews, adherence to Torah. 2. For gentiles, good works according to conscience and natural law. 3. For all sinners, forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ.

Paul’s  ree Paths to Salvation is an a empt to reconcile the many facets of Paul’s complex identity while reclaiming him from accusations of intolerance. Boccaccini’s work in reestablishing Paul as a messenger of God’s mercy to sinners is an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about Paul’s place in the contemporary pluralistic world. Paul’s place in the contemporary pluralistic world.

“I  nd much to admire in Gabriele Boccaccini’s a empt to reconstruct Paul’s own vision of salvation. . . .  is is a splendid and necessary book.” — DAVID BENTLEY HART from the foreword

Gabriele Boccaccini is professor of Second Temple Judaism and early rabbinic literature at the University of Michigan. He is also the founding director of the Enoch Seminar, a forum of international specialists in early Judaism, Christianity, and Islam a liated with the Society of Biblical Literature.

Unto Us a Child Is Born

Isaiah, Advent, and Our Jewish Neighbors

Tyler D. May eld Foreword by Walter Brueggemann Whether through a hymn, Handel’s Messiah, or the lectionary reading, the book of Isaiah provides a familiar voice for congregations during the season of Advent. So how do we create faithful, Christian interpretations of Isaiah for today while respecting the interpretations of our Jewish neighbors?

Integrating biblical scholarship with pastoral concern, Tyler May eld invites readers to view Isaiah through two lenses. He demonstrates using near vision to see how the Christian liturgical season of Advent shapes readings of Isaiah and using far vision to clarify our relationship to Jews and Judaism—showing along the way how near vision and far vision are both required to read Isaiah clearly and responsibly.

“Tyler May eld’s Unto Us a Child Is Born over ows with insight. I recommend it as a lucid way in which we Christians might envisage the power of Scripture for our world today.” — MARY C. BOYS Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York

“Whereas Christians traditionally read Isaiah as a prophet who predicts the coming of Christ, May eld demonstrates that Isaiah must be read  om di erent angles as a book that gives expression to the issues that faced ancient Israel and Judah in the prophet’s own day as well as to some of the highest ideals of Judaism in our own.” — MARVIN A. SWEENEY Claremont School of Theology

Tyler D. May eld is the Arnold Black Rhodes Professor of Old Testament and director of the Grawemeyer Award in Religion at Louisville Presbyterian  eological Seminary. He teaches courses in biblical theology, ethical readings of Scripture, and prophetic literature and regularly leads a travel seminar to Israel and Palestine to explore ancient biblical sites as well as those of contemporary Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.

Voices from the Ruins

Theodicy and the Fall of Jerusalem in the Hebrew Bible Dalit Rom-Shiloni Where was God in the sixth-century destruction of Jerusalem?

 e Hebrew Bible compositions wri en during and around the sixth century BCE provide an illuminating glimpse into how ancient Judeans reconciled the major qualities of God—as Lord,  erce warrior, and o en harsh rather than compassionate judge—with the su ering they were experiencing at the hands of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, which had brutally destroyed Judah and deported its people. Voices  om the Ruins examines the biblical texts “explicitly and directly contextualized by those catastrophic events”—Kings, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Lamentations, and selected psalms—to trace the rich, diverse, and o enpolemicized discourse over theodicy unfolding therein. Dalit Rom-Shiloni shows how the “voices from the ruins” in these texts variously justi ed God in the face of the rampant destruction, expressed doubt, and protested God’s action (and inaction).

Rather than trying to paper over the stark theological di erences among the writings of these sixth-century historiographers, prophets, and poets, Rom-Shiloni emphasizes the dynamic of theological pluralism as a genuine characteristic of the Hebrew Bible.  rough these avenues, and with her careful, discerning textual analysis, she provides readers with insight into how the su erers of an ancient national catastrophe wrestled with the di cult question that has accompanied tragedies throughout history: Where was God?

Dalit Rom-Shiloni is associate professor of Hebrew Bible at Tel Aviv University, Israel. She writes extensively on Hebrew Bible theology, group-identity con icts, and the formation of sixth-century BCE literature. RomShiloni serves as editor-in-chief of the Hebrew-language journal Beit Mikra: Journal for the Study of the Bible and Its World and is the initiator and editor-in-chief of the Dictionary of Nature Imagery of the Bible project.
