Reconstructing Israel: Restoration Eschatology in Early Judaism and Paul's Gentile Mission

How can academic biblical interpretation fruitfully contribute to Christian belief and living in today's world? This book offers a synthesis of some of the best in pre-modern, modern and post-modern approaches to biblical interpretation, and locates the discipline within a self-critical Trinitarian rule of faith, where historical criticism, systematic theology, ethics, and spirituality are constructively combined. Moberly reclaims biblical and patristic principles of what is necessary for meaningful and truthful speech about God to be possible; he engages with contemporary ideological suspicions directed both to scripture and to its interpreters; and he offers an account of God and humanity in relation to both Old and New Testaments. Hermeneutical theory is given practical shape in in-depth studies of Genesis 22 ('The Akedah'), the Journey to Emmaus (Luke 24), and the Christology of Matthew's Gospel, studies which should be of interest to both Jews and Christians.

Marcion and the Making of a Heretic: God and Scripture in the Second Century

For over one hundred years, the International Critical Commentary series has held a special place among works on the Bible. It has sought to bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic and textual no less than archaeological, historical, literary and theological-with a level of comprehension and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series. No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought. The first paperback editions to be published cover the heart of the New Testament, providing a wealth of information and research in accessible and attractive format.

A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel According to Saint Matthew

Allison opens his study with a response to the 'new criticism' on the interpretation of texts. He defends the interpreter's attempt to find an author's intent behind a work, and thereby lays the groundwork for his chosen approach to Matthew the historical-critical method, with an emphasis on redaction criticism. Through this approach, he hopes to find texts which influenced the First Evangelist's presentation of Jesus resembling Moses. Allison divides his study into two parts. Part I comprises twenty-six studies on Jewish and Christian figures who are at times endowed with a Moses typology. The reader may be surprised to find such characters as David, Jeremiah and the Suffering Servant included among those who more readily resemble the law-giver, such as Joshua and Elijah. Allison's examination of ten Christian figures naturally commences with Jesus, with passages in John and Acts highlighted among others. After Christ, he finds numerous Christians donning the mantle of Moses from Peter and Paul to Gregory Thaumaturgus, Benedict of Nursia and even Constantine. This survey into Judaism and Christianity leaves the reader impressed with the vitality of Moses typologies, and hence clearly demonstrates that Moses comparisons were alive and well during Matthew's time. One of Allison's conclusions which has special significance for what follows is the dissimilarity between the Jewish and Christian texts: 'the Jewish typologies tend to be more subtle, less explicit than those in the Christian tradition'. In Part 11, Allison weighs the evidence in several passages in search of a new Moses motif in the First Gospel. Although some passages are found wanting, as in the miracles of chh. 8-9, the missionary discourse in eh. 10 and the woes of eh. 23, Allison discovers seven other texts where a Moses typology is definitely present. They are as follows: the infancy narrative (particularly 2: 1-12); the temptation narrative; the opening to the Sermon on the Mount; Jesus' relationship to the Law as a new lawgiver (5: 17 -48); the great thanksgiving (11 :25-30); the transfiguration; and the Gospel's conclusion. Perhaps the greatest surprise here is that Allison argues forcefully for a Moses typology in the temptation narrative when, in his and W.D. Davies' recent ICC Matthew commentary, the issue is hardly discussed. Allison ends his study with seven appendices dedicated to tempering or rebutting other assessments of Matthew's Moses typology. This section is among the most fascinating of the book, for not only does he comment on influential works by the likes of W.D. Davies, J.D. Kingsbury and

The new Moses : a Matthean typology

Dale Allison's clearly written Jesus of Nazareth enables people who have followed recent discussions to vindicate and reclaim the central religious significance of the historical Jesus.

Jesus of Nazareth: Millenarian Prophet

The End of the Ages Has Come: An Early Interpretation of the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus

What did Jesus think of himself? How did he face death? What were his expectations of the future? In this volume, internationally renowned Jesus scholar Dale Allison Jr. addresses such perennially fascinating questions about Jesus. Representing the fruit of several decades of research, this major work questions standard approaches to Jesus studies and rethinks our knowledge of the historical Jesus in light of recent progress in the scientific study of memory. Allison's groundbreaking alternative strategy calls for applying what we know about the function of human memory to our reading of the Gospels in order to "construct Jesus" more soundly.
