“The Wisdom of God Said”
Classically, scholars have speculated that the quotation attributed to “wisdom” in Luke 11:49–51 stems from a now lost Jewish text. More recently, exegetes have proposed that the passage is an appeal to Scripture. This article puts this thesis to the test, contending that, despite the scriptural language and motifs of the passage, it is more clearly to be situated in ancient Jewish reception of Scripture. It is argued that the quotation most like…
Mark Goodacre’s The Case Against Q
As part of NTT JTSR’s series on Key Texts, the present article discusses Mark Goodacre’s influential work, The Case Against Q. The book challenges the standard solution to the synoptic problem, the two-document hypothesis, arguing against the existence of Q and for Luke’s use of Matthew. This article takes a critical look back at the book’s main arguments and examines the impact it has had on subsequent scholarship
A Stone that Winnows
Critical editions, translations, and scholarly discussions typically treat Luke 20,18 as a separate logion from the preceding quotation from Ps 118 (MT; LXX 117) in Luke 20,17 that ends Jesus’ telling of the parable of the wicked tenants. Despite its separation from the quote, scholars have typically seen in the line allusions to Isa 8,14–15 and Dan 2,34–35.44–45. This article questions both of these usual assumptions, arguing (a) that 20,18 shou…
Marcion’s Gospel and its Use of the Jewish Scriptures
Despite the popular notion of Marcion’s outright rejection of the Jewish Scriptures, his gospel draws on those Scriptures not infrequently. While this might appear inconsistent with Marcion’s theological thought, a pattern is evident in the way his gospel uses Scripture: On the one hand, Marcion’s gospel includes few of the direct, marked quotations of Scripture known from canonical Luke, and in none of those cases does Jesus himself fulfill Scri…
The Place of Paideia in Hebrews' Moral Thought
Hebrews 12:1-17 depicts the audiences sufferings as Gods discipline. But is this discipline a punishment for sin or positive, formative training? Phillip A. Davis, Jr. examines this question in light of Hebrews ethics, ancient corporal punishment practices, and the passages use of Proverbs 3:11-12.
