John Goodrich investigates the origin of this metaphor in light of ancient regal, municipal, and private administration, initially examining the numerous domains in which oikonomoi were appointed in the Graeco-Roman world, before situating the image in the private commercial context of Roman Corinth. Examining the social and structural connotations attached to private commercial administration, Goodrich contemplates what Paul's metaphor indicates about apostleship in general terms as well as how he uses the image to defend his apostolic rights. He also analyses the purpose and limits of Paul's authority - how it is constructed, asserted, and contested - by examining when and how Paul uses and refuses to exercise the rights inherent in his position.

Each of the major sections of Romans has received significant attention in recent scholarship, yet no consensus has emerged about how to read the opening chapters of Paul’s most important letter, Romans 1–4. This collection of essays returns to the beginning of Paul’s theological masterpiece to probe longstanding puzzles and to offer new readings and fresh insights on some of the most cherished chapters in the entire Pauline corpus.

Going beyond an introduction that merely surveys historical events and theological themes, this textbook examines individual passages in Second Temple Jewish literature in order to illuminate the ideas and emphases of Hebrews’ varied discourses. Following the rhetorical progression of Hebrews, each chapter in this textbook (1) pairs a major unit of Hebrews with one or more sections of a thematically related Jewish text, (2) introduces and explores the historical and theological nuances of the comparator text, and (3) shows how the ideas in the comparator text illuminate those expressed in Hebrews.
In addition to the focused comparison provided in the essays, the book contains other student-friendly features that will help them engage broader discussions, including an introductory chapter that familiarizes students with the world and texts of Second Temple Judaism, a glossary of important terms, and a brief appendix suggesting what tools students might use to undertake their own comparative studies. At the end of each chapter there a list of other thematically relevant Second Temple Jewish texts recommended for additional study and a focused bibliography pointing students to critical editions and higher-level discussions in scholarly literature.

To revive and reclaim this teaching for believers in the twenty-first century, editors John Goodrich and Mark Strauss have assembled an expert team of scholars to uncover what every New Testament book teaches about discipleship, providing a comprehensive, biblical picture. In addition, other contributors explore discipleship in the context of the local church, spiritual formation, and the life of the mind. Together, these essays point the way forward for becoming more like Jesus Christ, and helping others do the same, in our personal and corporate lives.

Going beyond an introduction that merely surveys historical events and theological themes, Reading Revelation in Context examines individual passages in Second Temple Jewish literature in order to illuminate the context of Revelation's theology and the meaning and potency of John's visions. Following the narrative progression of Revelation, each chapter (1) pairs a major unit of the Apocalypse with one or more sections of a thematically related Jewish text, (2) introduces and explores the historical and theological nuances of the comparator text, and (3) shows how the ideas in the comparator text illuminate those expressed in Revelation.

Over the last several decades, the Jewishness of Jesus has been at the forefront of scholarship (e.g., the so-called Third Quest for the historical Jesus), and this volume will give lecturers a class resource that helps students see the contour and texture of Jesus’ engagement with his Jewish environment.
Going beyond an introduction that merely surveys historical events and theological themes, this textbook examines individual passages in Second Temple Jewish literature in order to illuminate the context of Mark’s theology and the nuances of his thinking. Following the narrative progression of Mark’s Gospel, each chapter in this textbook (1) pairs a major unit of the Gospel with one or more sections of a thematically-related Jewish text, (2) introduces and explores the historical and theological nuances of the comparator text, and (3) shows how the ideas in the comparator text illuminate those expressed in Mark.
The format and limited length of individual chapters (2,000-2,500 words) makes the volume appropriate for non-specialist students. Moreover, each essay will quote generously from Second Temple texts to improve their accessibility to readers. The focus of the essays is on educating students unfamiliar with the issues, rather than on new research or convincing scholars of a reading. As a result, some of the essays are summaries of arguments made elsewhere, in many instances from the author’s own previous research.
In addition to the focused comparison provided in the essays, the textbook has other student-friendly materials that will help readers engage broader discussions. This includes an introductory chapter that familiarizes students with the world and texts of Second Temple Judaism, a glossary of important terms, and a brief appendix suggesting what tools students might use to undertake their own comparative studies. In addition to these general aids, the end of each chapter contains a list of other thematically-relevant Second Temple Jewish texts recommended for additional study and a focused bibliography pointing students to critical editions and higher-level discussions in scholarly literature.

In Reading Romans in Context a team of Pauline scholars go beyond a general introduction that surveys historical events and theological themes and explore Paul’s letter to the Romans in light of Second Temple Jewish literature.
In this non-technical collection of short essays, beginning and intermediate students are given a chance to see firsthand what makes Paul a distinctive thinker in relation to his Jewish contemporaries. Following the narrative progression of Romans, each chapter pairs a major unit of the letter with one or more thematically related Jewish text, introduces and explores the theological nuances of the comparative text, and shows how these ideas illuminate our understanding of the book of Romans.

In this verse, the goal of the church is portrayed as the attainment of the "mature man" (εἰς ἄνδρα τέλειoν), the state of completion to which Christ's corporate body is growing until it reaches "the measure of the stature of the fullness" of its head. Despite the clear origin of Paul's metaphor in the realm of human development, minimal discussion has centered on how Paul's contemporaries employed the phrase "mature man" (τέλειoς ἀνήρ) in relation to other developmental milestones along the commonly conceived life course in Greco-Roman antiquity, and what implications this might have for understanding where in the maturation process Paul would have plotted his implied readers. This investigation explores these contextual matters and then uses the results to cast light on related developmental imagery in the surrounding passages of Ephesians, including not only the human growth terminology in 4:12-16 but also the pedagogical rhetoric in 4:20-21, the allusion to the Roman toga virilis ceremony in 4:22-24, and the military analogy in 6:10-18. Collectively, this metaphorical imagery helps to identify the church's current stature as that befitting of a young man who has recently come of age and located within the liminal phase of early male adulthood. Explicating the fullness of the maturity metaphor in Ephesians helps to illuminate the thematic coherency of the letter as well as how Paul sought to make his realized eschatology intelligible to his ancient readers.
Scholars often disagree about how to interpret the narrative description of Christ as a proclaime... more Scholars often disagree about how to interpret the narrative description of Christ as a proclaimer of peace in Ephesians 2.17. Most understand Ephesians to be either referring to the earthly ministry of Jesus or attributing to him the work of later apostolic preaching. This article argues that none of the existing interpretations is adequate, and instead maintains that Ephesians is advancing a metaphorical depiction of Christ as a diplomatic peace herald (caduceator) commissioned to call for the cessation of hostilities between God and humanity, and consequently between Jews and Gentiles. The article explores the purposes and practices of Greco-Roman diplomacy, paying special attention to the contribution of peace heralds in times of interstate conflict and how they came to signify the entire peacemaking process. The article then analyzes how Ephesians 2.11–22 deploys terminology commonly used to convey sociopolitical rivalry as a way to portray the Jew-Gentile relationship as one of figurative warfare. It is in within this symbolic world of ethnic conflict and diplomacy that Ephesians casts Christ in the image of a peace herald, whose metaphorical proclamation of peace to those far and near signifies the totality and finality of Christ’s conciliatory work.

Those readings include the ecclesiastical view defended by N. T. Wright and Jason Staples, as well as the Jewish-remnant view defended by Ben Merkle, Christopher Zoccali, and Colin Kruse. By assessing these recent publications, this essay ultimately seeks to defend the conventional view—that “all Israel” refers to some totality of ethnic Jews who will be saved by faith in the Messiah following the incoming of the fullness of the Gentiles.

Most notably, both Tobit and Paul (1) deny the failure of God's word (Tob. 14:4a; Rom. 9:6a); (2) proceed to unveil a three-phase redemptive history for Israel (exile → partial restoration → full restoration); and (3) utilise their respective storylines to assure their readers in phase 2 that God will bring phase 3 to completion. These and other parallels show not only that Tobit and Paul share a common eschatological perspective, but that they deploy and develop almost identical thesis statements, thereby further demonstrating the proximity of Paul's discourse to contemporary Jewish modes of thought and argumentation.

Following recent efforts to reconcile biblical and theological studies as interdependent disciplines, apocalyptic readings of the NT have come to abound in modern scholarship, and Pauline

While many scholars maintain that these images were principally influenced by one of the modes of physical slavery practiced in the Greco-Roman world, others propose that the metaphors derive exclusively from the servant/ slave of God motif enlisted throughout Jewish literature. Concentrating on Romans 6, this article provides a detailed survey of three recent contributions to the Jewish-only position (those by Richard Horsley, John Byron, and Tom Holland, respectively) before responding critically to them at three points. The article ultimately seeks to assert that Paul's δοῦλος metaphor in Romans 6 (and elsewhere), while functioning as an extension of a Jewish theological motif, was significantly influenced by Greco-Roman notions of domestic slavery.
