Η πύλη της Gath / The Gate of Gath

Σύμφωνα με δημοσιεύματα στο διαδίκτυο η ομάδα αρχαιολόγων του Πανεπιστημίου Bar-Ilan, της οποίας επικεφαλής είναι ο καθ. Aren Maeir έφερε στο φως την κύρια πύλη της πόλης Gath, πατρίδας του Γολιάθ και μίας από τις μεγαλύτερες πόλεις της Παλαιστίνης κατά τους 10ο-9ο αι. π.Χ. Το μέγεθος της πύλης, για την οποία γίνεται λόγος και στην Βίβλο (Α΄ Σαμ 21), φανερώνει επίσης το μέγεθος και τη σπουδαιότητα της πόλης. Ας σημειωθεί ότι η αρχαιολογική ομάδα, η οποία εργάζεται στην τοποθεσία εδώ και 20 χρόνια, έφερε στο φως κι άλλα σημαντικά ευρήματα, όπως ναούς των Φιλισταίων (11ος-9ος αι. π.Χ.), την αρχαιότερη φιλισταϊκή επιγραφή που έχει αναγνωσθεί, διάφορα αντικείμενα, οχυρώσεις και ίχνη ενός σεισμού (8ος αι.), για τον οποίο ίσως γίνεται λόγος στο βιβλίο του Αμώς καθώς και ίχνη της κατάληψης και καταστροφής της πόλης από τον Αζαήλ της Δαμασκού (Β΄ Βασ 12,18):

Υψηλή Χριστολογία και αρχέγονος Χριστιανισμός / High Christology and Early Christianity

Στη γνωστή ιστοσελίδα The Bible and Interpretation δημοσιεύεται το κείμενο του Michael Kok σχετικά με τις χριστολογικές πεποιθήσεις του αρχέγονου Χριστιανισμού. Ο Kok συζητά κριτικά τις θέσεις για την υψηλή Χριστολογία του αρχέγονου Χριστιανισμού που εκπροσωπούνται στον αγγλοσαξωνικό κόσμο κυρίως από τους L. Hurtado και R. Bauckham και υπογραμμίζει την πολυμορφία του αρχέγονου χριστιανισμού και την ανάγκη της κατανόησης των θεολογικών θέσεων κάθε ομάδας μέσα στην ιστορική συνάφεια της κάθε ομάδας.
