The Creed and the Scriptures
How did Scripture influence the ancient Christian creeds? Did the earliest precursors to the creeds influence the formation of Scripture itself? Were Christians the only people in antiquity who made creeds, as has often been alleged? The authors of this volume investigate the relationship between Scripture and the creeds.
Creed and the Scriptures
Were ancient Christian creeds designed as summaries of Scripture, or, conversely, was the formation of Scripture itself subject to creedal as well as canonical considerations? To what extent were there non-Christian antecedents and analogies to the church's habit of making creeds? The contributors to this volume investigate the relationship between Scripture and ancient Christian creeds. The essays in this volume are divided into four sections de…
Jesus ‘the Just’
While praise of the righteous is endemic in both Jewish and Christian Scripture, its application to named individuals is remarkably rare throughout. In the New Testament, it is reserved for pre-Christian saints and especially for Jesus himself—most clearly in Acts. Responding to the suggestion (by Richard Hays and others) that ‘the Just’ was specifically a messianic title, the article shows instead that its application to figures like James the b…
Being Emmanuel
Among the New Testament Gospels, Matthew most emphatically stresses the continued presence of Jesus throughout his ministry and with his disciples after Easter. This is despite sensitivity to the challenge of the cross and experiences of absence or deprivation. Structurally, the Gospel develops this affirmation in relation to the narrative of Jesus’ birth and incarnation, to his ministry, to the governance of the Christian community in its aposto…

Studies in Matthew and Early Christianity
This volume presents twenty-six essays, some of them previously unpublished, by the late Graham Stanton, former Lady Margarets Professor of Divinity at Cambridge University. The themes range from the Gospel of Matthew to other New Testament writings, and early Christianity, with a special focus on Justin Martyr.
Studies in Matthew and Early Christianity (Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen Zum Neuen Testament)
Over the course of his distinguished career, the late Graham Stanton, former Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge, wrote extensively on New Testament and early Christian themes. This volume presents a collection of twenty-six essays, including one previously unpublished, and encompasses some of his most prominent contributions to scholarship. Stanton's work as an interpreter of the Gospel of Matthew is well known, …
The baptism of Jesus as 'super-sacrament' of redemption
Whereas New Testament criticism has tended to focus on historical and literary and dimensions of each evangelist's account of Jesus' baptism, this evidently important Gospel narrative became a crucial vehicle of specifically Trinitarian thought in the patristic period. The present brief 'think piece' explores the potential for a correlation between the baptism story in its historical context of Jewish renewal and its highly theological impact in …
The Remembered Peter
Although Simon Peter was evidently a central figure in both the ministry of Jesus and the mission of the earliest church, his life and thought are shrouded in historical uncertainty. Markus Bockmuehl approaches this problem through focused studies of Peter's highly diverse profile and reception in subsequent Christian sources from Rome and Syria. In Part I of this book, Bockmuehl documents the persistent presence of Peter in personal and collecti…
Paradise in Antiquity
Locating paradise
COLUMBUS AND THE DECLINE OF PARADISE In the pleasant early days of August 1498, Christopher Columbus (1451–1506) caught his first glimpse of the South American mainland. On turning from Trinidad, off Northeastern Venezuela, into the Gulf of Paria between the mountainous Venezuelan headland of Marabal and the island of Trinidad, he ran into a mass of fresh water from the mouth of the Orinoco River and was enraptured by the idyllic climate and sigh…
The Remembered Peter
Simon Peters role as a disciple and an early Christian leader is shrouded in historical uncertainty. Markus Bockmuehl investigates the complex Christian memory of Peter in relation to the New Testament texts, and suggests how those writings in turn helped shape the remembered Peter.
Written Gospel
The Written Gospel
This book comprehensively surveys the origin, production and reception of the canonical gospels in the early church. The discussion unfolds in three steps. Part One traces the origin of the 'gospel' of Jesus, its significance in Jewish and Hellenistic contexts of the first century, and its development from eyewitness memory to oral tradition and written text. Part Two then more specifically examines the composition, design and intentions of each …
Simon Peter's Names in Jewish Sources
S BarYonah, Peter, Cephas: what, if anything,might St Peter’s names have meant to Palestinian Jews in late antiquity? On a casual approach, the pickings appear very slim indeed.1 A second look, however, suggests there may still be some interesting mileage in tracing the significance of those names during the late Second Temple and early rabbinic periods. The Talmud, to be sure, does not hold out much hope to anyone looking for knowledge of Simon …

Introduction to the Talmud and Midrash
Gunter Stemberger's revision of H. L. Strack's classic introduction to rabbinic literature, which appeared in its first English edition in 1991, was widely acclaimed. Gunter Stemberger and Markus Bockmuehl have now produced this updated edition, which is a significant revision (completed in 1996) of the 1991 volume. Following Strack's original outline, Stemberger discusses first the historical framework, the basic principles of rabbinic literatur…
