The Provenance of Philippians
A critical synthesis of the arguments made by Flexsenhar, Omerzu, Standhartinger and Brélaz, concerning the provenance of Paul’s letter to the Philippians, suggests: (1) ‘the whole of the praetorium’ referenced in 1.13 is a group of people working in an official provincial building, hence (2) in view of Paul’s incarceration awaiting imminent trial, this is probably in a provincial capital, (3) where a group of imperial slaves, who, following atte…
The Future of New Testament Theology, or, What Should Devout Modern Bible Scholarship Look Like
Consideration of the nature of New Testament Theology (NTT) necessitates an account of theology or "God-talk". Karl Barth grasped that all valid God-talk begins with God's self-disclosure through Jesus and the Spirit, which people acknowledge and reflect on. Abandoning this starting point by way of "Foundationalism"-that is, resorting to any alternative basis for God-talk-leads to multiple destructive epistemological and cultural consequences. Th…
Galatians 5.11
Galatians 5.11 refers to Paul ‘proclaiming circumcision’—a proposition that he is concerned to refute because he constructs two compact but powerful inferences designed to falsify it. One argues from present persecution, the other from the cross. Following a precise reconstruction of these it can be shown that the three main previous interpretations of the reference of Paul's ‘proclamation of circumcision’ are dubious, whether in terms of a blata…

Paul in Pamphylia (Acts 13.13–14a; 14.24b–26)
Acts states in 13.13–14a that Paul sailed on his outward journey from Paphos in Cyprus to Pergê in Pamphylia (Περγη), proceeding then to Pisidian Antioch – literally, Antioch-towards-Pisidia. (Pamphylia is the westernmost of two alluvial coastal shelves on the south coast of present-day Turkey; a relatively self-contained geographical area.) Acts states that John-Mark left for Jerusalem from this point after a disagreement, and also does not ment…
Unravelling Colossians 3.11b
Scholars have always found the series in Col 3.11b difficult to interpret gracefully. There it is stated that in Christ the distinction with βάρβαρος, Σκύθης ‘barbarian, Scythian’, has been abolished, along with that between the more comprehensible oppositions of ‘Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision ... slave, free’. The increased sensitivity of contemporary NT scholars to the social dimension of texts, as well as to their rhetorical a…
