Biblical Annals 8:1 (2018)

Marcin Kowalski, "God the Benefactor and His Human Clients in Rom. 5–8," 47-69

The author applies the patron-client model to read the relationship between God and man in Rom. 5–8. First, the model and its basic features are presented in the context of the Greco-Roman society, including its applicability to divinity. Next, the various elements of the model are traced in Rom. 5–8 (asymmetry, exchange of goods, personal relationship, favoritism, reciprocity, kinship language, honor and voluntary entrance). The article finishes with the advantages of reading Rom. 5–8 through the lens of the patron-client relationship.

Knut Backhaus, "Inspiration and Truth in the Book of Revelation. An Exegetical Comment on the Pontifical Biblical Commission’s Document “Ispirazione e verità della Sacra Scrittura” (2014)," 71-91

The Book of Revelation confronts its readers with the problem of violence and irrationality, thereby putting at stake its claim to inspiration and truth. In a canonical and pastoral approach, the document of the Pontifical Biblical Commission explains this unruly book as an expression of Christ’s “burning love”. However, Revelation offers its reader a dramatic counter-world, in which neither love nor logic may be learnt but the coping with passion and “tears”. The visionary strategy (1) gives the Christians insights into their own truth, (2) establishes their very own, “heavenly” perspective, (3) meticulously provides them with theocentric knowledge of the purpose of their everyday struggles, (4) transforms them by a dramatic experience of redemption, and (5) lets them encounter Christ in an experience of longing and trust.

Marginalia: Αποκάλυψη και αυθεντία / Marginalia: Revelation and authority

Στην ιστοσελίδα του ηλεκτρονικού περιοδικού Marginalia φιλοξενείται μία πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα συζήτηση για την αποκάλυψη, την αυθεντία και το ρόλο της Παράδοσης στον Ιουδαϊσμό και κυρίως στο δυτικό Χριστιανισμό: 

• Paul Mendes-Flohr, "Descending the Mountain: Questions after Sinai" 
• John C. Cavadini, "Can We Separate Scripture and Tradition?"  
• Jon D. Levenson, "Do Bible Scholars Need Theology?" 
• Benjamin Sommer, "After Revelation and Authority: Reflections from the Author" 

[Α.Τ.:  Απουσιάζει βέβαια η Ορθόδοξη πλευρά από τη συζήτηση. Το θέμα της Παράδοσης παραμένει ένα από τα θέματα που πρέπει να συζητηθεί σε βάθος από τους Ορθόδοξους βιβλικούς (κι όχι μόνο) θεολόγους. Mία ενδιαφέρουσα συμβολή στη διαδικτυακή συζήτηση είναι το άρθρο του John Behr στο αξιόλογο ιστολόγιο Public Orthodoxy: 

"Reading Scripture" 

Μία επίσης πρώτη προσπάθεια προσέγγισης του θέματος έγινε στο βιβλικό συνέδριο με τον τίτλο «Ορθόδοξη Ερμηνευτική της Καινής Διαθήκης: Ιστορία, θεωρία, προοπτικές», που διοργανώθηκε στον Βόλο, από το Τμήμα Μελέτης της Χειρόγραφης Παράδοσης της Καινής Διαθήκης" της Ακαδημίας Θεολογικών Σπουδών Βόλου.]
