The New Testament as Literature

06 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT

A Very Short Introduction

By Keefer, Kyle

$11.95 06 Nov 2008 Paperback Oxford University Press

Looking at the New Testament through the lens of literary study, Kyle Keefer offers an engrossing exploration of this revered religious text as a work of literature but also keeps in focus its theological ramifications. Unique among books that examine the Bible as literature, this brilliantly compact introduction offers an intriguing double-edged look at this universal text - a religiously informed analysis using a literary framework - plot, character, narrative arc, genre - to illuminate the language, structure, and crafting of this venerable text. The book explores the major sections of the New Testament - the gospels, Paul's letters, and Revelation - as individual literary documents. Keefer shows how, in such familiar stories as the parable of the Good Samaritan, a literary analysis can uncover an unexpected complexity to what seems a simple, straight-forward tale. By the conclusion of the book. Keefer has shown that whether read as a single document or as a collection of works, the New Testament presents readers with a wide variety of forms and viewpoints, and a literary exploration helps bring this richness to light.

Theologies in Conflict in 4 Ezra: Wisdom Debate and Apocalyptic Solution

01 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT

By Hogan, Karina Martin

$149.00 01 Nov 2008 Hardback Brill Academic Publishers

Recent scholarship on 4 Ezra has taken two divergent approaches, the first reading the dialogues between Ezra and Uriel as a reflection of theological debates in the author's time, and the second focusing on the psychological development of the protagonist. Combining the two approaches, this book offers a new interpretation of the dialogues as a literary representation of a debate between covenantal and eschatological wisdom, two branches of Jewish wisdom that emerged in the late Second Temple period. The inconclusive quality of the dialogues indicates the author's dissatisfaction with Uriel's attempt at a rational theodicy. Ezra's subsequent transformation points to the symbolic visions as the locus of the author's apocalyptic solution to the intractable theological problems raised in the dialogues.

The Tension Between Deliverance and Repentance in Isaiah 40-55

By Blazenka Scheuer

$109.00 01 Nov 2008 Hardback Walter de Gruyter & Co

The theology of Isaiah 40-55 has two contradictory aspects: the tension between consolatory message of deliverance, and harsh tone of accusation and call to repentance. This study argues that such tension does not necessarily disclose a different authorship, but that it expresses basic nature of the relationship between YHWH and the Israelites.
