Immersion in the Flowing Water of Johannine Symbolism
The ubiquity of water in the Fourth Gospel and its likely symbolic significance has spawned a large number of studies, many of which seek to detect as consistent a reference as possible. Analysis shows that these studies can be categorized by their primary methods and frames of reference. This article argues that such studies frequently ignore that water is not a contingent symbol but is essential to the narrative setting of the Gospel, and that …
New Conversations in Early Christianity
The four books suggested for review in this article are very disparate; so what shall be attempted here is to bring them into conversation with each other, but also to explore what they reflect about recent scholarship and how they contribute to current debate
The Cambridge History of Ancient Christianity
The first three hundred years of the common era witnessed critical developments that would become foundational for Christianity itself, as well as for the societies and later history that emerged thereafter. The concept of 'ancient Christianity,' however, along with the content that the category represents, has raised much debate. This is, in part, because within this category lie multiple forms of devotion to Jesus Christ, multiple phenomena, an…

Christianity in the Second Century: Themes and Developments
Household and Family in Diaspora Judaism
Any study of religiosity in the Graeco-Roman world must include an account of the Jewish experience, so often seen as precursor or shadowy reflection, of the Christian. Here the primary sources are archaeological and epigraphic, with literary texts reflecting the intentions of sometimes hostile observers. Exploring these sources affords more glimpses than might be expected of the impact of religious identity on social and domestic life, but also …
Marcion's Gospel and the New Testament: Catalyst or Consequence
These three short papers were delivered in the ‘Quaestiones disputatae’ session at the 71st General Meeting of the Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas, held at McGill University, Montreal, on 3 August 2016. The session was chaired by Professor Carl Holladay, President of the Society
Letters and the Topography of Early Christianity
While embedded in contemporary letter-writing conventions, early Christian letters were also instrumental in the creation of a distinctive Christian world-view. Fundamental to letters of all types, ‘real’ and fictional, is that they respond to, and hence negotiate and seek to overcome, actual and imagined spatial and temporal distance between author and recipient(s). In practice and as cultural symbols, letters, sent and transmitted in new contex…

What did Women do for the Early Church? The Recent History of a Question
The question posed in the title deliberately reverses one that has accompanied me through my academic career: what did the early church do for women? The reversal signals what will prove to be an underlying theme of what follows, namely the role of women in history as objects or as the subjects of action and of discourse. Yet already the question as conventionally phrased highlights different points of stress that reflect where it belongs within …

As much my apostle as Christ is mine«: The dispute over Paul between Tertullian and Marcion
Als Paulusausleger sind Tertullian und Marcion eng miteinander verbunden: Tertullian ist durch Marcions vorangehende Interpretation zu einer genauen Lektüre des Paulus gezwungen; zugleich kennen wir Marcions eigene Bemühungen nur auf dem Wege über Tertullian. Diese »symbiotische« Beziehung spiegelt sich in ihrer jeweiligen Paulusauslegung wider. Dabei ist deutlich, dass beide an einem Diskurs über den Text, ihr jeweiliges Verständnis der Einheit …

New Testament Studies: 2004-: Editor's Perspective
The editor of New Testament Studies is usually more than content to hide behind the impersonality of the role, protected by the corporate responsibility, if not identity, of the editorial board. For this, the 50th volume, however, an editorial postscript has been suggested, to balance the retrospective given by Professor C. K. Barrett at its start – although this is not designed to inspire more extensive searches for chiasms within the volume. It…

‘Impregnable Ramparts and Walls Of Iron’: Boundary and Identity in Early ‘Judaism’ and ‘Christianity’
The metaphor of a boundary as that which separates ‘us’ from ‘the other’ is central in modern discussion of identity as constructed, yet it is also recognized that such boundaries both articulate power and are permeable. The model is readily applicable to the Greco-Roman world where kinship, history, language, customs, and the gods supposedly separated ‘us’ from barbarians, but also enabled interaction; Jews and Christians engaged in the same str…

Blindness in the Johannine Tradition
That blindness should be a theme in the Johannine literature need cause no surprise; with the dualism of light and darkness and with the emphasis on what has been seen , witnessed and believed, the surprise is rather that the theme is not more prevalent. Only at two places in the Gospel and one in the Epistles is the language of blindness explicitly used, in John 9, John 12. 40 and 1 John 2. 11. However, since each of these can be seen as a focal…
The Theology of the Johannine Epistles
The Johannine Epistles have long been recognised as contributing a vital element to the theology of the New Testament. Usually it is to the Gospel that the reader turns first in order to explore that contribution; the First Epistle is treated as a supplement, while 2 and 3 John - on account of their brevity - receive little attention. This book allows the Epistles to speak for themselves, and shows that they sound a distinctive note within Johann…
What Was from the Beginning: Scripture and Tradition in the Johannine Epistles
‘That which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched, concerning the word of life’ (1 John 1.1). However that claim to ear-, eye- and touch-witness is to be understood, there can be no dispute that for 1 John a claim to ‘that which was from the beginning’ is a linch-pin in the argument and in the theology of the letter. Yet the question of the use of Scripture in 1 John points fu…
Circumcision, Women and Salvation
The title of this paper sets its own agenda when considered in the form of a syllogism. What is the relationship between circumcision and women, what between circumcision and salvation? Merely to raise the question in this form is to indicate the ambiguity which might surround any answer, at least within the sort of debate with which NT scholarship is familiar. The immediately obvious solution would be to object that the question, together with t…
The Jews among Pagans and Christians in the Roman Empire
Temple and Synagogue in John
Jesus’ answer to the High Priest in 18.20 offers a key to the pattern of his ministry. Each of the pairs ‘openly: secretly’; ‘the world: the Jews’ and ‘synagogue and Temple’ function significantly in the Gospel, but the last named are most important. In each of the Gospels, ‘synagogue’, ‘house’, and ‘Temple’ play narrative roles in the exploration of the relationship between Jesus with his community and the community of the Scriptures and contemp…
