Die Rede von “Wiedergeburt” im Neuen Testament
This is a revision of the author’s 2017 Habilitationschrift accepted by the University of Hamburg in 2017. The supervisor was Christine Gerber.The author’s study addresses a problem: the notion of (spiritual) rebirth, or being born again, has been variously understood and defined in scholarship over the past century. Kaiser observes in the literature a lack of distinction between the origin of rebirth, on the one hand, and its goal or outcome, on…
The New Testament in Its World
By numerous measures this is a notable publication. One measure is the stature of the authors—they are household names in the field, and their listed publications in the 33-page bibliography number about 60 (Wright, 31; Bird; 29). Another measure is the sheer size of the book, matched by its bibliography containing (I estimate) nearly 1,000 items. Another is the scale of coverage: as the subtitle indicates, this is an attempt to cover in some bre…
Kritiker und Exegeten
This massive volume contains the fruit of over a half century of the author’s study of the leading lights in critical investigation of the OT. These “personalities” are “far and away the most important factor” in the history of OT scholarship in Rudolf Smend’s judgment (p. xii). The author stresses three things: that this is not a formal history of OT scholarship (which would have required more attention to problems, methods, results, schools of …
Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception, volume 17
NT scholar and missiologist Stephen Neill described a scholar (Mark Pattison) who “spent his whole life in the vain pursuit of a total erudition, like that of the great renaissance scholars, Casaubon and the Scaligers” (The Interpretation of the New Testament 1861–1986, p. 32). Like other volumes in the Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception, this one confirms that the notion of attainment of a total erudition in this subject matter is laugh…
Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception. Volume 16
Though Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception is not a traditional Bible encyclopedia—far from it—it contains useful treatments of a surprising number of commonplace items referenced in the Bible: “Leech,” “Leeks,” “Lentil,” “Lie, Lying” (which strangely omits treatment of NT passages), “Lightning,” “Lizard.” But its forte is the recondite. With this volume in hand, one can distinguish, for example, between Leontius of Byzantium (cols. 129–3…
Einleitung in das Neue Testament
Harking back to Johann David Michaelis’s seminal work (see the foreword), this study takes up the three classic concerns of NT introduction in its Teutonic conception: (1) the details of each individual writing’s origin, (2) the textual foundation of each NT book (textual criticism), and (3) the history of each writing’s acceptance into the canon. In this book, Armin Baum places emphasis on item 1.Within that emphasis, Baum names six distinctives…
That All Shall Be Saved
The author is widely regarded as one of today’s leading theological thinkers. This book glows with a kind of erudition and intellectual sophistication for readers with enough patience to bore through its often gnarly locutions. But the case it sets forth is hardly novel, nor will it be compelling for readers who privilege the Bible’s consistent representation of God, humans, eternal life, and everlasting judgment over the opinion of many theologi…
Gospel Allegiance
This is a more popular-level sequel to the author’s Salvation by Allegiance Alone (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2017). It is pitched and formatted to put into the hands of pastors and the laity to apply and promulgate Bates’s new conceptualization of the gospel message. Readers are urged to mention this book “on social media, on blogs, or in conversation. Rate or review it for others” (p. 10). The author conveys urgency that this corrective volu…
Messias Jesus. Seine Geschichte, seine Botschaft und ihre Überlieferung
Academic books on Jesus continue to proliferate. In this one, the last of three appendixes lists such books, most published since 1970: their number comes to about 140. Messias Jesus should be ranked high among them.The author has already contributed to this discussion, most notably with Jesus als Lehrer (3rd. ed., 1988; 4th ed. to appear in 2020). This earlier book treated Jesus’s putative Messianität in a significant subsection (see esp. pp. 29…
The Letters to Timothy and Titus
The Pastoral Letters—1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus—have made an enduring contribution to understanding the role of pastors in the church. With a spirited devotion to the text, Robert Yarbrough helps unlock the meaning of these short but rich letters in this commentary. In keeping with the character of Pillar New Testament Commentary volumes, The Letters to Timothy and Titus offers a straightforward reading of these texts. Their primary concerns…
