Barbara Beyer. Determined by Christ
Few topics have proved so perennially interesting and frustrating to Pauline scholars over the last century than Paul’s challenging language related to participation in Christ—especially on how best to read Paul’s “in Christ” phrases and related language (“in Christ Jesus,” “in him,” “with Christ,” “through Christ,” “of Christ,” etc.). What more can be said about this extremely well-trodden set of topics and texts in Paul? Barbarba Beyer’s recent…
Mark J. Goodwin. Paul and Participation in Christ
Over the past half-century of New Testament scholarship, scholarly inquiry on participation in, or union with, Christ has emerged as a subfield unto itself within Pauline Studies. Goodwin’s study joins a growing number of scholars who explore participation in Paul’s epistles within the patristic theological category of theosis. A heavy influence on Goodwin’s study is Ben Blackwell’s Christosis; in the introduction, Goodwin situates his own projec…
Donghyun Jeong. Pauline Baptism among the Mysteries
The thesis of this book is clearly stated in the introductory chapter: “Baptism in the Pauline communities is basically analogous to the initiation rituals of the mysteries,” and “the figure of Paul appearing in his letters should primarily be understood as an interpreter of the Christ cult and its initiation, rather than a cult founder” (p. 9). While this volume contains numerous insights gleaned from comparing initiation rites in ancient Greco-…
Clive Bowsher. Life in the Son
The theme of “union with Christ” and/or “participation in Christ” has garnered enormous attention over the last few decades of New Testament scholarship, especially in Pauline Studies. However, with a few exceptions, such as the work of Grant Macaskill and Michael Gorman, there has been comparatively little attention devoted to the theme of union with Christ in the Johannine literature. Clive Bowsher’s recent volume in the “New Studies in Biblica…
G. K. Beale. Union with the Resurrected Christ
If John Calvin is right, that “we see that our whole salvation and all its parts are comprehended in Christ,” then few things are more worth contemplating than our union with Christ (Inst., II.xvi.19). G. K. Beale’s biblico-theological analysis of union with Christ—specifically, union with the risen and ascended Christ—richly illuminates the deep, intra-canonical resonances of how union with Christ is described in the New Testament. This work wil…
Christ Our Contemporary
Participation in Christ in Paul's epistles, and the heavenly priesthood of the risen and ascended Christ in Hebrews, are focal points in recent NT scholarship. This essay explores four aspects of contemporaneity with Christ in Paul and Hebrews. First, trinitarian and incarnational substructures are integral to contemporaneity with Christ, because the Spirit unites us with the eternal Son who shared in humanity's mortal condition that we might sha…
Hope for Faithful Endurance
The theological argumentation and exhortation for endurance in Heb 6:13–20 involves a notion of divine simplicity in which God’s being is God’s own perfections. In Heb 6:13–20 the Lord’s self-oath from Gen 22:16 means that God is God’s own faithfulness, swearing an oath “by himself,” having “none greater by whom to swear” in order to guarantee an “unchangeable” promise to Abraham that has been eschatologically realized in the heavenly priesthood …
Nick Brennan. Divine Christology in the Epistle to the Hebrews
Is a divine Christology absent in Hebrews, possibly evident in a few isolated texts, or is a divine Christology part of the deep structure of the epistle’s argumentation, undergirding major claims throughout? Nick Brennan’s central claim is that “the divinity of the Son in Hebrews is present, pervasive and salient to the Epistle and deserves more attention than has been afforded it in recent scholarship. This is principally because the Pastor bot…
Jihye Lee. A Jewish Apocalyptic Framework of Eschatology in the Epistle to the Hebrews
Should the eschatological outlook of the epistle to the Hebrews be understood as immaterial and otherworldly, along the lines of Middle Platonic cosmologies that bifurcate between the spiritual/heavenly and the material/earthly, as suggested by some NT scholars from Hebrews 3:7–4:11 and 12:18–29? The central claim of Jihye Lee’s study of the relationship between creation and eschatology in these and other passages in Hebrews is that “the author e…
Seon Yong Kim. Curse Motifs in Galatians
Galatians is filled with strange and sharp rhetoric, from pronouncing that those who preach other gospels “be cursed!” twice in the letter’s opening (1:8–9), to describing the Galatians as having been “bewitched” (3:1), to declaring that illicit circumcision might mean being severed from Christ (5:4). Seon Yong Kim’s Curse Motifs in Galatians, a revision of his University of Chicago doctoral thesis, contends that these are not mere rhetorical flo…
Angela Costley. Creation and Christ
Angela Costley’s Creation and Christ argues that the topic of creation is not ancillary but vital to the theology and argumentation of the epistle to the Hebrews. Her primary claim is that “the creation references in Heb 1–4 should be considered as integral to Hebrews’s discourse in the first four chapters, and that the topic of creation is related to the topic of salvation through the Son in an important way” (p. 4). Focusing especially on 1:1–4…
Cruciform Scripture
Cruciform Scripture celebrates Michael J. Gorman’s life and scholarship in a singularly honorary fashion, by extending his generative lines of inquiry into new areas of research and freshly exploring key emphases across his prolific career as an NT scholar. Gorman is the Raymond E. Brown Chair in Biblical Studies and Theology at Saint Mary’s Seminary and University in Baltimore, Maryland. This book honors his exemplary academic and ecclesial serv…
