The Slave Systems of Classical Antiquity and Their Reluctant Recognition by Modern Scholars
Slave Resistance in Classical Antiquity
Can Study of the Historical Jesus Escape its Typographical Captivity
As part of the deepening diversification of biblical studies, several lines of research are now undermining the print-cultural assumptions on which New Testament studies developed. The first section offers summaries of important inquiries into ancient communications media: the dominant oral communication and the uses of writing; revisionist text-criticism of manuscripts of texts later included in the Hebrew Bible; the oral-written cultivation of …
Discerning What the Quest of the Historical Jesus Could Not See
In Jesus and the Disinherited Thurman recognized that the all-important historical context of Jesus was among a people subjugated, similar to that of segregated and colonized peoples. He discerned the cost in human degradation for people subjected by overwhelming power as they struggled with fear, deception, and hate. In the Gospels he discerned Jesus’ uniquely creative response: His assurance that people are ‘children of God’ establishes a groun…

Jesus and the Politics of Roman Palestine
In ancient Roman Palestine, politics and religion were inseparable in the power-relations between the Galilean and Judean peasants and their Roman, Herodian, and high priestly rulers. In contrast to the overly simple previous dichotomy between revolt and quiescence as the principal political options for Jesus, it may be possible to discern a range of forms in popular political-religious resistance on the basis of comparative studies of peasant po…
Religion and Other Products of Empire
This article examines briefly ancient and modern examples of three different patterns of relations between empire and religion: (a) imperial elites' construction of subject peoples' religions, (b) subjected peoples' revival of their own traditional ways of life in resistance to imperial rule, and (c) the development of religious practices that constitute imperial power relations. These cases raise key issues for religious and biblical studies, su…
Galilee
An Archaeological Response to a New Testament Scholar
Archaeology and the Villages of Upper Galilee
The innovative regional approach taken by Meyers, Strange, and their associates to the excavation and interpretation of Upper Galilean villages has generated a fresh perspective as well as important new information for Galilee in late antiquity. The results of their explorations also stimulate reassessment of standard assumptions and concepts according to which both archaeologists and textual scholars have constructed the culture and the social w…

Gnosis in Corinth
Scholars are gradually relinquishing the belief that the Corinthians were Gnostics. As a noted student of Gnosticism concludes, we find in Corinth ‘at most only the first tentative beginnings of what was later to develop into full-scale Gnosticism’. In fact, a kind of agnosticism has emerged with regard to the early Christian community in Corinth. ‘The position in Corinth cannot be reconstructed on the basis of the possibilities of the general hi…

Who Were the Witches? The Social Roles of the Accused in the European Witch Trials Despite the significant resurgence of scholarly interest in witchcraft and the great European witch hunts of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, few efforts have been made to determine what sorts of persons were tried and burned as witches. Both medical historians and feminists have argued, from virtually opposite points of view, that the victims of the witch-…

The Law of Nature in Philo and Cicero
“Christian Natural Law is the acceptance and reinterpretation according to Christian and ecclesiastical principles of Stoic Natural Law. ...” Thus runs Troeltsch's classic and influential formulation of the view that Stoicism forms the “preparation of the gospel” with regard to the law of nature in Christian theology and ethics. Historians of political theory similarly assume that it was the Stoic doctrine of natural law that decisively influence…
Pneumatikos vs. Psychikos
In 1 Corinthians the apostle Paul is attempting to straighten out some people in his newly founded community who, by virtue of their possession of wisdom, were claiming a special spiritual status. Apparently they designated themselves as pneumatikoi in contrast with the psychikoi , or those of lesser religious achievement. By a careful reading of Paul's arguments in 1 Corinthians we can discern some of their key religious terminology and principl…
