The Oxford Handbook of Johannine Studies
Expulsion from the Synagogue
In History and Theology in the Fourth Gospel , Martyn argued that John 9.22 concerns the formal expulsion from the synagogue of Jews who were confessing Jesus as the Messiah of Jewish expectation. Johannine scholars following Martyn have often claimed that a ‘high’ Christology must have provided the catalyst for this trauma, not the ‘low’ Christology posited by Martyn. For Martyn, however, a ‘high’ Christology was a subsequent development, leadin…
The Text of The Gospel and Letters of John
The textual transmission of the Gospel and Letters of John provides evidence both for their earliest text and its reception across the centuries. This chapter first considers the sources for these writings, comprising Greek papyrus, majuscule, and minuscule manuscripts, early translations into Latin, Coptic, and Syriac, and quotations in Christian writers. The form, contents, and distribution of the documents sheds light on their understanding an…

The Original Prologue to the Gospel of John
John 1.1–5 constitutes the original Prologue to the Fourth Gospel. This passage can still be read as functioning in this way
The Meaning of the Phrase τα στοιχεια του κοσμου in Galatians
This article seeks a fresh answer to the difficult question of the meaning of the phrase τα στοιχεια του κοσμου in Gal 4.3. The answer is sought by paying close attention to (1) the argumentative context of Paul's use of the phrase in the letter (he posits some sort of equivalence between the veneration of τα στοιχεια του κοσμου and the observance of the Law; he does so for contextually relevant theological and rhetorical reasons), and (2) the cu…
Paul's Quotation of Isaiah 54.1 in Galatians 4.27
The importance of the quotation of Isa 54.1 in Gal 4.27 for understanding Paul's allegorical reading of the story of Sarah and Hagar (Gen 16–21) in Gal 4.21–5.1 has often been underestimated. Paul uses this quotation to give his interpretation of this story an eschatological dimension that, unlike the eschatology of Second Isaiah, is both profoundly christological and apocalyptic
The Composition of 1 Corinthians
Proposals urging that 1 Corinthians is a composite of two or more letters have not won wide support. Those who reject such proposals argue that the letter's abrupt shifts in subject matter can be readily accounted for by deeming them Paul's seriatim response to a diverse range of issues and problems made known to him through a combination of oral reports (1.11; 5.1; 11.18; 15.12) and a letter from the Corinthians (7.1). While 2 Corinthians is wid…
