The Divine Allegorist
In Barn. 2.6, the new νόμος of our Lord Jesus Christ is best understood as Christian allegorical exegesis of the Torah – accessed, according to the author, through Christian perception, gnosis, and insight, regarded as a divine gift (Barn. 1.2). This exegetical strategy usurps all other forms of theological reflection and provides a divine, eternal, and secure salvific understanding of who God is and what God requires. It also rescues ethical man…
Oracles of Astrampsychus and Other Assorted Sortes
Secret Mark in the Circle of Dutch Humanists
In its allegorical interpretation of the Mosaic food laws, Epistle of Barnabas 10:6 famously warns against emulating the “corrupter of children” (παιδοφθόρος)—a behavior linked to the rabbit’s annual acquisition of a “hole” (ἀφόδευσις), sometimes translated “anus.” Clement of Alexandria (Paed. 2.10.83) interprets παιδοφθόρος in this passage as someone engaging in παιδεραστία (“pederasty”), an association that is understandable given that παιδοφθο…

De stella magorum
Roy D. Kotansky* argues in ‘The Star of the Magi: Lore and Science in Ancient Zoroastrianism, the Greek Magical Papyri and St. Matthew’s Gospel’ that the pericope in the M Source regarding the star of Bethlehem reflects Zoroastrian traditions about Magi who divine from a star seen falling to Earth the birth of a coming saviour, who will deliver the world from bondage and inaugurate the blessing of a new millennium. Following Nikos Kokkinos’ chron…
Benedictine Prologue
For centuries, biblical prologues introduced readers to the themes and problems of the Latin Bible. Paul's profile has undoubtedly been shaped by this genre: Paul the new Moses, Paul the theologian, Paul the arbitrator between Jews and gentiles. Despite fine critical editions, the texts and historical situations of these prologues still lack scholarly attention. The present monograph examines one such introduction known as the Benedictine Prologu…

Celebrating Arthur Darby Nock
Arthur Darby Nock (1902-1963) made lasting contributions to classical scholarship and the history of religion, including the study of ancient religion, magic, and the relationship of paganism to ancient Judaism and early Christianity. Almost ninety years after its publication, his work, Conversion: The Old and New in Religion from Alexander the Great to Augustine of Hippo , serves as an introduction to what is today an entire area of research enc…

Baptist Traditions and Q
Clare K. Rothschild offers the first comprehensive examination of why current models of Q feature traditions concerning John the Baptist both prominently and favorably. Her study supports the argument that at some point in the undoubtedly complex pre-history of its redactions Q existed as a source of Baptist traditions exclusively.
Ethiopianising the Devil
Although interpreters refer to the association between blackness and evil in ancient texts as essentially universal, specific reference by Christians to the counter-divine with the colour epithet ὁ μέλας is new with the Epistle of Barnabas. Black is applied as an honorific to certain Egyptian deities, but it is never used in Egyptian religion with reference to the counter-divine. Furthermore, black demons proliferate in late third- and fourth-cen…
Down the Rabbit Hole with Barnabas
Barnabas 10 offers an allegorical discussion of kashrut . The writer addresses dietary laws in two groups of three: prohibitions against the eating of pig, vulture and eel, followed by prohibitions against eating hare, hyena and weasel. In each case, the allegorical interpretation construes diet as comportment (e.g. one should not behave like a pig, vulture etc.). Concerning the hare, readers are admonished not to emulate its corruption of childr…
Delightful Acts
The primary impetus of this collection of essays on canonical and non-canonical Acts is to honor the scholarly achievements of Richard I. Pervo. Pervo pioneered the view that canonical Acts is comparable to ancient fiction, insofar as the various episodes about Peter, Paul and the other apostles were composed to entertain, even as they inform. In the spirit of this work, contributors to this volume do not sit idly by. Prodding and provoking reade…

New Essays on the Apostolic Fathers
This volume comprises fifteen new essays on the Apostolic Fathers with a focus on the letters of Clement. An introductory essay investigates the role of seventeenth-century librarians in the origination of the collection's title. Five essays concern 1 Clement, exploring its relationship to 1 Corinthians, its generic classification, the discussion of »Christian education« (1 Clem. 21:8), the golden calf tradition, and the well-known legend of the …
Belittling” or “Undervaluing” in 2 Clem. 1
Second Clement suffers from a lack of clarity about its historical and literary contexts. The anonymous text’s date and provenance have defied precise determination and, although it is referred to a few times in the history of tradition, it seems not to be cited at all. Moreover, its first two verses maintain a history of translation into modern languages employing expressions long out of date. The word, μικρά occurs four times in the first two v…
The History of Religions School Today
The present volume offers a glimpse at one currently thriving expression of the distinguished history of religions school approach to the New Testament and early Christian literature. Begun circa 1884 at the University of Göttingen and pioneered by scholars such as Albert Eichhorn, Wilhelm Bousset, Johannes Weiss, and William Wrede, today applications of this approach are diverse. Scholars adapt the method, incorporating the latest technologies a…
Galen's De indolentia
In 2005 a French doctoral student discovered the long-lost treatise, De indolentia (Περὶ ἀλυπησίας/ἀλυπίας) or On the Avoidance of Distress in a monastic library in Thessalonica. De indolentia is a letter from Galen to an unspecified addressee in which he describes how he responded to the fire that destroyed much of his library and medicines in 192 CE. The manuscript, catalogued in the Vlatadon monastery as codex 14, is of unspeakable value to sc…

Luke-Acts and the Rhetoric of History
Although the view that Luke-Acts represents early Roman period historiography is widespread, still many scholars express dissent. Resulting from rather narrow understandings of ancient historiography, skeptics favor 'theological' as over and against 'historical' approaches, drawing too sharp a contrast between the two. Though this contrast has been fruitful within Lukan studies, pointing to various apologetic purposes of the works, it tends to ov…
Baptist Traditions and Q
Clare K. Rothschild offers the first comprehensive examination of why current models of Q feature traditions concerning John the Baptist both prominently and favorably. A close hermeneutical investigation of the NT Gospels, including literary phenomena such as the double attribution of sayings to John and to Jesus, contradictions among sayings of Jesus, and significant thematic continuities between Baptist traditions and Q sayings on topics such …
Hebrews as Pseudepigraphon
The history of scholarship on Hebrews attests a tension between the originality and Pauline character of its epistolary postscript (13:20-25). Generally speaking, scholars accepting the postscript's originality reject its Pauline character, while those rejecting its originality accept its reliance on Paul's letters. The Pauline character of the postscript is especially problematic for implying Paul's authorship of the book-a thesis that is all bu…
Pseudepigraphie und Verfasserfiktion in frühchristlichen Briefen
Versuche der Beurteilung von Pseudepigraphie in der Antike und im Neuen Testament sind zuletzt in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren unternommen worden. In der neutestamentlichen Forschung wurden die aus der Altertumswissenschaft stammenden Anregungen oft einseitig zur generellen Legitimation neutestamentlicher Pseudepigraphie rezipiert, ohne nach einer differenzierten Beurteilung der jeweiligen pseudepigraphischen Fiktion und ihrer Legitimität zu frag…
Irony and Truth
Irony and Truth: The Value of De Historia Conscribenda for Understanding Hellenistic and Early Roman Period Historiographical Method was published in Die Apostelgeschichte im Kontext antiker und frühchristlicher Historiographie on page 277.
The Acts of the Apostles in the Context of Ancient and Early Christian Historiography
Luke-Acts is the first early Christian writing to which serious historiographical interest can be attributed. In view of the intense debate in recent years concerning the character and forms of classical historiography, this collection seeks to clarify the relationship of the Gospel to classical historiography, illustrated through the comparison of exemplary texts. In doing so, it reveals connections to early Jewish historiography and the Septuag…

Christian body, Christian self
Early Christian texts are replete with the language of body and self. Clearly, such concepts were important to their authors and audiences. Yet usage rarely makes sense across texts. Despite attempts to establish a single biblical or Christian vision of either body or self across texts, the evidence demonstrates plurality of opinion; and, reception history multiplies interpretations. Depending upon the particular anthropological-philosophical par…
Christian Body, Christian Self
The essays in this volume individually and collectively participate in ongoing discussions about the concepts of body and self in early Christian texts. They offer nuanced analyses, highlighting the range of perceptions of these crucial yet enigmatic concepts.

Galen's De indolentia
The recently discovered letter, De indolentia is a moral-philosophical treatise in which Galen describes his response to the fire in the city of Rome (192 CE) that destroyed a significant portion of his library and medicines. In addition to essays on important aspects of the text, this volume includes an English translation, a collation of leading critical editions, and an expansive bibliography.
Paul in Athens
Clare K. Rothschild investigates how the nexus of popular, second-century traditions crystallized around the Cretan prophet Epimenides unifies seemingly ad hoc elements of Acts 17, demonstrating that, in addition to popular philosophical ideals, the episode of Paul in Athens also utilizes popular religious topoi to reinforce a central narrative aim.
Paul in Athens
Paul's visit to Athens, in particular the Areopahus speech, is one of the most well known excerpts of early Christian literature. It is the most significant speech by Paul to a Gentile audience in Acts functioning as a literary crest of the overall narrative. Yet critical analysts also describe it as an ad hoc blend of Green and Jewish elements. In this study, Clare K. Rothschild examines how the nexus of popular second-century traditions crystal…
