Daniel R. Schwartz. Judean Antiquities 18–20
Alan E. Kurschner. A Linguistic Approach to Revelation 19
The dissertation of A. E. Kurschner is divided into six chapters. Chapter 1 is a concise introduction to “Approaches to the Millennium Binding of Satan” (pp. 11–31), divided into historical-temporal and non-temporal interpretations and critical approaches. It is unclear why this material needs to be revisited and augmented in Appendix 1 (Historical Shifts in the Millennial Debate, pp. 181–93). The literature consulted and evaluated is nearly excl…

Zachary K. Dawson. The Message of the Jerusalem Council in the Acts of the Apostles
Zachary Dawson publishes here his 2021 PhD dissertation accepted by McMaster Divinity College, which, according to the title, explores Acts 15 through a stylistic analysis. In fact, he analyzes the Cornelius episode (Acts 10:1–11:18), the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15:1–29), and the episode of Paul’s final visit to Jerusalem (Acts 21:1–25).The book is divided into seven chapters. The first two chapters are introductory: after a “literature review” o…
Aslak Rostad. Human Transgression—Divine Retribution
Aslak Rostad, Associate Professor of Classics at Norwegian University of Technology and Science in Trondheim, presents here his revised dissertation, submitted to the University of Bergen in 2006, which investigates the Lydian and Phrygian confession inscriptions with the aim of considering “how the ancient world dealt with religious transgressions” (p. 4). Rostad had suggested to call these inscriptions “reconciliation inscriptions” (“Confession…
Die Urgemeinde und das Judenchristentum
The second volume of a new history of early Christianity, written by Martin Hengel and Anna Maria Schwemer (cf. Jesus und das Judentum, Mohr Siebeck, 2007; ET Jesus and Judaism, Baylor University Press and Mohr Siebeck, 2019), was published 10 years after Hengel’s death in 2009. The manuscript that Hengel passed on to Schwemer in early 2009 comprised 117 pages, which means that the volume under review is essentially the work of Schwemer, who reta…
Roman Port Societies
The NT mentions 34 port cities, in many of which early Christian churches are attested: five in Judea (Gaza, Azotus, Caesarea, Joppa, Ptolemais), five in Syria/Cilicia (Antioch, Seleucia, Sidon, Tyre, Tarsus), two in Cyprus (Salamis, Paphos), two in Pamphylia (Attaleia, Perge), two in Lycia (Myra, Patara), one in Achaia (Corinth/Cenchreae), two in Macedonia (Philippi/Neapolis, Thessalonica), five in the province of Asia (Ephesus, Miletus, Smyrna,…
Paul and the Ancient Celebrity Circuit
James Harrison, research director at the Sydney School of Divinity, who has published treatises on Paul’s language of grace and on Paul and the imperial authorities at Thessalonica and Rome in the WUNT series (2003, 2011), investigates in this new volume Paul’s critique of the Roman tradition of boasting and, more generally, “the moral transformation of the early believers in a world dominated by the civic ethics of the ancient elites” (p. 45). F…
Qumran, Early Judaism, and New Testament Interpretation
The third volume of collected essays by Jörg Frey, Professor of New Testament at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, focuses mostly on Frey’s work on the texts and the theology of the Qumran Community (for the first two volumes, see the reviews in BBR 24.1 by R. Yarbrough and BBR 30.1 by C. Blomberg [ET], and the review in BBR 27.3 by R. Yarbrough). The 24 essays have been originally published between 1997 and 2020 (the two essays marked “hith…
Empty Tomb, Resurrection, Apotheosis
John Cook, Professor of Religion and Philosophy at LaGrance College, has been known for his work on crucifixion in Mediterranean antiquity (e.g., Crucifixion in the Mediterranean World, WUNT 327).

The book is divided into seven chapters, followed by a conclusion, 37 images (pp. 623–45), bibliography (pp. 647–71), and indexes. The index of modern authors is ve…

The Trial and Crucifixion of Jesus
The purpose of this comprehensive sourcebook by David W. Chapman and Eckhard J. Schnabel is to publish the extra-biblical primary texts that have been cited as relevant for understanding Jesus' trial and crucifixion. The texts in the first part deal with Jesus' trial and interrogation before the Sanhedrin, and the texts in the second part concern Jesus' trial before Pilate.

The Trial and Crucifixion of Jesus
This comprehensive sourcebook publishes the extra-biblical primary texts with translation and commentary that illustrate Jesus trial before the Sanhedrin and before Pontius Pilate, and crucifixion as a method of execution in antiquity.
The trial and crucifixion of Jesus
"The authors of this volume set themselves one task, to trace the extra-biblical primary texts that are relevant for understanding Jesus' trial and crucifixion. With that goal in mind, the book is built on three major themes: (1) Jesus' trial / interrogation before the Sanhedrin, (2) Jesus' trial before Pontius Pilatus, and (3) crucifixion as a method of execution in antiquity. In chronologically sequential order (where possible), the authors sel…
