Protestant Bible Scholarship: Antisemitism, Philosemitism and Anti-Judaism, by Arjen F. Bakker, René Bloch, Yael Fisch, Paula Fredriksen, and Hindy Najman (eds.)
Antisemitism in Biblical Interpretation: Causes, Examples, Suggestions
Recent definitions of antisemitism and related terms abound, but few address contemporary Christian antisemitism found in New Testament interpretation. Such interpretations continue in commentaries, study Bibles, websites, and sermons. After examining the causes of ten general antisemitic tropes in Christian exegesis, illustrated with selected examples, we suggest some tentative solutions for addressing the proliferation of such harmful and histo…
Who is My Neighbour: Interfaith Dialogue and Theological Formation (Keynote Address)
“Who is my neighbour?” is a good question for both the Bible and today, but it is a complicated one. In this paper, I will focus on unpacking the idea of “love of neighbour,” first in its Levitical context, then in certain New Testament passages, and finally in contrast to its relationship with the concept of “stranger.” The term “neighbour” (רֵעַ) has multiple meanings in a Hebrew Bible context, and similarly, there are distinct meanings of “nei…

Supersessionism: Admit and Address Rather than Debate or Deny
Supersessionism, in the sense of advancing upon and thereby replacing an anterior tradition, is intrinsic to both Jewish and Christian identity. The move forward is to acknowledge it rather than debate or deny it, and then to determine how its presence does not preclude positive roles for the superseded group. Because Christian supersessionism is today a primary interest in inter-religious dialogue, this article focuses on how it has been and mig…

Albert H. Friedlander: An American Appreciation
The work of Rabbi Albert Friedlander is less known in US contexts than it should be, especially since it still has much to contribute to both Jewish communal relationships and dialogue between Jews and Christians. From the perspective of an American academic, this article focuses on his chaplaincy work in the context of competing forms of Jewish orthodoxy and orthopraxy; the impact of the Shoah on his understanding of and response to US racism; h…

Gospels: Narrative and History
"This first volume in the New Testament section of the Bible and Women series, devoted to the Synoptic Gospels and the Johannine literature, displays the fruits of collaboration of American and Western European scholars. Ranging among historical-critical investigation, archaeological discovery, cultural anthropology, social-scientific modeling, narrative analysis, theological speculation, and reception history, the essays attend to the constructi…
Christian Faith and the Study of the Historical Jesus: A Response to Bock, Keener, and Webb
This paper responds to three essays on historical-Jesus research which claim that an explicitly confessional Christian perspective need not compromise participation in historical research. Responding to Darrell Bock, it notes that evangelicals are new to embrace the methods associated with such study but questions whether this shift advances discussion. Responding to Craig Keener, it questions both the value of using biographies of Roman official…

The Sequence of the Human Genome
A 2.91-billion base pair (bp) consensus sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome was generated by the whole-genome shotgun sequencing method. The 14.8-billion bp DNA sequence was generated over 9 months from 27,271,853 high-quality sequence reads (5.11-fold coverage of the genome) from both ends of plasmid clones made from the DNA of five individuals. Two assembly strategies—a whole-genome assembly and a regional chromosome assembl…
Luke, Judaism, and the Scholars: Critical Approaches to Luke-Acts
This survey of the history of critical scholarship on the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles draws particular attention to the interpretation of Luke's treatment of Jews and Judaism. It notes that the Holocaust was a major turning point in the history of New Testament scholarship
The Mystery of Romans: The Jewish Context of Paul's Letter
Paul's letter to Romans, says Nanos, is an example of Jewish correspondence, addressing believers in Jesus who are steeped in Jewish ways-whether of Jewish or gentile origin. Arguing against those who think Paul was an apostate from Judaism, Nanos maintains Paul's continuity with his Jewish heritage. Several key arguments here are: Those addressed in Paul's letter were still an integral part of Roman synagogue communities. The weak are non- Chris…
