Questioning the Question Mark: The Punctuation and Interpretation of Matthew 8:7
Recent scholarship debates the precise nuance of Jesus’s words in Matt 8:7. Although some translations and commentators view the words as a statement, recent translations and commentators increasingly treat the clause as a question and this seems to be the emerging consensus position. The decision on punctuation significantly affects the interpretation of the pericope. If the expression is a statement, Jesus is expressing eagerness to help the Ro…
The Usefulness of Pre-Genealogical Coherence for Detecting Multiple Emergence and Coincidental Agreement: Matthew 16.2b–3 as a Test Case
Since other evidence strongly suggests that the omission of Matt 16:2b–3 is the result of multiple emergence, this variant unit serves as a helpful case study to evaluate the usefulness of pre-genealogical coherence for detecting multiple emergence of a reading, an important premise of the Coherence-Based Genealogical Method (CBGM). This article adapts the Wasserman–Gurry method of assessing pre-genealogical coherence in the Synoptic Gospels (for…
Christian Origins and the Establishment of the Early Jesus Movement
Porter and Pitts offer their fourth volume in this series intended to advance knowledge in the field of Christian origins. The book contains 25 essays that are arranged under four different headings. Part 1 is titled “The Formation of the Jesus Movement and Its Precursors” and contains four essays: “John the Baptist in the Fourth Gospel” by Clare Rothschild, “John’s Baptist in Luke’s Gospel,” by John DelHousaye, “From John to Apollos to Paul: How…
Matthew 16.2b–3: New Considerations for a Difficult Textual Question
A survey of the current state of research shows that scholars are at an impasse regarding the text of Matt 16.2b–3. A fresh application of reasoned eclecticism to the unit uncovers new evidence supporting the longer reading. A reappraisal of the Greek manuscripts, early versions and early Christian literature shows that the longer and shorter readings are of approximately equal antiquity as far as can be established from presently available evide…
The Blessings of the New Moses
This article examines and critiques major views regarding the Old Testament background for the Matthean Beatitudes. It first evaluates the traditional view that Isaiah 61 was the primary Old Testament influence. Second, it examines and critiques N.T. Wright’s view that the juxtaposition of Mt. 5.3–11 and 23.13–33 is part of a rough chiasm intended to associate Jesus’ teaching with the blessings and curses of Deuteronomy 27–30. Finally, it offers …
Jesus as Merkabah Mystic
This article examines and critiques the portrayal of Jesus as a merkabah mystic in Bruce Chilton’s Rabbi Jesus. After providing a brief summary of Chilton’s presentation of Jesus’ spirituality, the article explores the origin of merkabah mysticism and questions whether available sources confirm the existence of a developed mysticism that included the practice of the ascent during Jesus’ lifetime. The article also examines the New Testament texts …
