The Johannine Reception of a Matthean Legend
Despite considerable interest in Matthew’s raising of the saints (27:50–54), relatively little attention has been paid to its potential reception in John. Some older scholarship noted parallels with John 5:25–29 but either uncritically conflated Matthew and John or assumed a common oral tradition. In light of renewed interest in John’s relationship to the Synoptics, a fresh analysis is warranted. Whereas prior studies focused narrowly on the uniq…

The Beasts at Ephesus and the Cult of Artemis
The words crux interpretum are frequently invoked over the question Paul poses to his Corinthian acquaintances in 1 Cor 15:32: εἰ κατὰ ἄνθρωπον ἐθηριομάχησα ἐν Ἐφεσῳ, τί μοι τὸ ὄφελος; “If with merely human hopes I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what would I have gained by it?” Three principal questions have occupied interpreters of this enigmatic verse.

Neither Proof Text nor Proverb
According to the prevailing interpretation of 1 Cor 3.15, the phrase διὰ πυρός must be taken in the local sense, and the fire of vv. 13 and 15 plays no soteriological function.

More importantly, it demonstrates that whereas the phrase διὰ πυρός is indeterminate and may take either the loc…
The Healer from Nazareth
'Everyone Will Be Baptized in Fire'
Mark 9.49, with its odd juxtaposition of the images of salt and fire, is a notoriously difficult text, which has mystified many interpreters and engendered numerous conflicting interpretations. In a regrettably disregarded article, T.J. Baarda suggested that the original form of the saying may have been 'For everyone will be baptized in fire'. This study argues that Baarda's proposal is remarkably plausible given its coherence with the preaching …
