“Jewish Intramural” in What Sense
This study compares 2 Maccabees and Luke-Acts in how their historiographies connect the temple to Israel’s restoration, critiquing the growing trend of reading Luke-Acts primarily as a Jewish work. Both texts draw on Exod 15:17, where the people are integrated into the holy place as Israel’s destiny. In 2 Maccabees, the temple serves as an indicator of the historical development of the Maccabean war, its fate contingent on the martyrs’ commitment…
Cosmic Impurity of Demonic Beings from the Watchers to Qumran
This study advances the thesis that demonic impurity in the Book of the Watchers, Jubilees, and Qumran texts is best understood as “cosmic impurity,” distinct from ritual or moral impurity. It is characterized by its origin in cosmic boundary violation, inherent nature, irreversibility, and eschatological exclusion. This applies both to demonic beings’ own impurity and to their distinctive defiling effects on humans. The study traces these featur…
The Ambivalence of Jerusalem in Luke–Acts
Luke’s ambivalent attitude toward Jerusalem and the temple remains a thorny issue in Lukan scholarship. This article reviews the history of scholarship according to two models of replacement versus continuity, which often operate in a dyadic paradigm. Sojan geography is suggested as a way of breaking through the deadlock this paradigm has created, as it attends to “thirding” that encompasses the two sides of ambivalence. In utilizing Sojan geogra…
Holy Land Sanctity for Every Greco-Roman City
The meaning of the enigmatic verse of Acts 15:21, not to mention the issues around the preceding Apostolic Decree (vv. 19–20), has largely been researched individually and historical-critically. By contrast, in this study I explicate the meaning of the verse within the broader scope of James’s speech by attending to the Jewish spatiality on Luke’s narrative-ideological plane. The Lukan James’s speech tightly combines intertextual elements that be…
The Double Entendre of Paul’s Trade as σκηνοποιός (Acts 18
The word σκηνοποιός (Acts 18:3), a hapax legomenon, has been the subject of intense scrutiny because it may disclose the socio-economic nature of Paul’s trade. However, attempts to reconstruct historically his trade have not confidently identified its accurate historical reference. Since this difficulty derives from Luke’s choice of vocabulary—he uses a word that is very rare in the canon of Greco-Roman literature—this study attends to the word’s…
Internarrativity and ecce homo
Whereas scholars’ methodological assumptions about NT texts’ evocation of Israel’s scripture vary, the plausibility and significance of multivalent allusions need to be examined. The ecce homo statement in the Pilate trial (Jn 19.5) is an apt case for this examination. This study exercises a literary analysis of both proposed allusions – to Zech. 6.12 and 1 Sam. 9.17 – and shows that they are based on a common deeper structure despite the differe…
Integrated Stories and Israel's Contested Worship Space
Lukan scholarship has paid attention to the ambivalent attitude towards the temple found in Stephen's speech. However, a coherent explanation of this ambivalence is still needed from within the narrative of Stephen's retold history of Israel itself. This study points to a pattern of connection between God's salvation and Israel's worship space captured in the Song of Moses, particularly Exod 15.17, as a sub-structure of the Lukan Stephen's basic …
