Δεν υπάρχει αμφιβολία ότι ο Ιησούς έδωσε την εντολή στους μαθητές του να θεραπεύουν αρρώστους. Παραμένει, ωστόσο, ανοικτό το θέμα, ποια μορφή είχε αρχικά αυτή η εντολή. Στην παρούσα μελέτη εξετάζονται οι διαφορετικές μορφές της εντολής του Ιησού μέσα στα κανονικά ευαγγέλια κι οι πιθανοί τρόποι με τους οποίους αυτή ερμηνεύθηκε σε ένα θεολογικό και ηθικό επίπεδο.

The full emergence of Christian book culture in the fourth century was anticipated and prepared for by a series of developments in the second century: by presenting (anachronistically) the early heroes of the Jesus movement as skilled literate communicators; by the emergence of “textual communities” formed around the reading, study, and preservation of books; by valorizing literate culture through the embedding of allusions to books and book culture in Christian documents; and in the very construction of early Christian scriptural documents so as to render them more easily accessible to sub-elite readers.

Mitchell G. Reddish, "Hearing the Apocalypse in Pergamum," 3-12

This essay explores the question, "How might the Apocalypse of John have been received and understood by John's audiences in the first century?" The article examines three aspects of the book-its setting (with special focus on Pergamum), its author (who was a Christian prophet in western Asia Minor), and the mode of reception of the work (an oral performance in the context of worship where it was recited/performed, possibly by another prophet). Through oral performance, the presenter made Jesus present among the audience, creating a setting in which the message of the Apocalypse could not be easily ignored.

Ένα νέο βιβλίο για τους στρατιώτες στο κατά Λουκάν και τις Πράξεις / A new book on Roman soldiers in Luke-Acts

Κυκλοφόρησε από τον εκδοτικό οίκο Mohr Siebeck η μελέτη της Laurie Brink με θέμα τους στρατιώτες και τον τρόπο που παρουσιάζονται στο διπλό έργο του Λουκά. 

Η εικόνα των στρατιωτών στο έργο του Λουκά στηρίζεται, σύμφωνα με τη συγγραφέα, σε πολλά στερεότυπα της εποχής του για το ρωμαϊκό στρατό. Ενώ, ωστόσο, λαμβάνει υπόψη την αντιπάθεια που τρέφουν οι αναγνώστες του για το ρωμαϊκό στρατό, την αποδομεί μέσα στο έργο του παρουσιάζοντας σταδιακά τον Ρωμαίο στρατιώτη ως καλό μαθητή.
