John, Jesus, and History, Volume 5

This verse-by-verse commentary has more than 2,200 expository notes on the New Testament. The author is an independent Baptist Christian who stands for the divine inspiration of the King James Bible. Comments defend the Biblical doctrines of Eternal Security, the Deity of Christ, and the Pre-Trib Rapture of the Church while refuting the false doctrines of Hard-believism, Lordship Salvation, Calvinism, Hyper-Dispensationalism, Anti-Dispensationalism, and Replacement Theology. This commentary was written both for beginners who are new to the Bible and for longtime Bible students seeking to refine their understanding of difficult verses. 2nd Edition.

Critical Memory Studies

This open access book proposes slow memory as a new framework for understanding how remembrance operates across time, urging scholars and practitioners to resist the acceleration that characterizes both contemporary scholarship and public memory cultures. The authors explore the theoretical foundations of slow memory, emphasizing themes of deep time, intergenerational justice, and contested memory regimes. The collection focuses on the fields of environment, (de)industrialization, welfare, politics, and conflict to examine how gradual transformations impact the present through remembrance practices at different tempos. It advocates for a deceleration of scholarly and commemorative practices to develop ethical, sustainable, and inclusive engagements with the past. By foregrounding slowness as a conceptual and methodological tool, and slow memory as a "connective concept," this book offers a vital framework for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to rethink the temporalities of remembrance in an era of rapid transformation. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. This publication is based upon work from COST Action CA20105 on Slow Memory, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology). COST is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.

The practice of history in premodern Java was profoundly influenced by precarious conditions of textual production and preservation: fragile manuscripts perished in the tropical environment, archival records were scattered far afield, and historical memories faded over many generations. In this book, Wayan Jarrah Sastrawan examines how Javanese societies between the fifth and fifteenth centuries CE responded with distinctive strategies to record and transmit knowledge of the past.Drawing on sources in Javanese, Sanskrit, Malay, and related languages from the Indonesian archipelago, Sastrawan provides a detailed account of diverse forms of history making in premodern Java, reconstructing a dynamic culture in which written and nonwritten modes of transmission coexisted and intersected. By situating these practices within broader discussions of global historiography, this book challenges modern assumptions about what counts as "history" and illuminates how societies have developed different ways of preserving and remembering the past.

Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament

The Gospel of John recounts events of the past with a claim to historical referentiality. This is achieved on the one hand through literary strategies that construct the authenticity of the events narrated, and on the other hand through strategies that counteract this constructed authenticity. Susanne Luther explains how readers are thus led to perceive the story of Jesus as a representation of real historical events and the Incarnation as a profoundly earthly-historical event, while at the same time recognizing Jesus of Nazareth as the Christ, the incarnate Son of God, due to the "breaking" of earthly-historical authentication. The Johannine historiography thus brings to bear a central Christological concern that goes beyond a historiographical-biographical narrative.

Meike J. Röhrig examines the oracles concerning Egypt in Ezekiel 29-32 from a literary-historical and religious-historical perspective. 
 

 The literary-historical analysis combines text-critical and redaction-critical observations. It results in a redaction-historical reconstruction that ranges from earliest tradita from the 7th-6th centuries to comprehensive scribal additions in the Hellenistic period, thereby taking into account the connections of the seven texts with the surrounding Book of Ezekiel. 
 

 The religious-historical analysis focuses on potential Egyptian influences in the texts, paying particular attention to sources from Late Period Egypt. It uncovers the authors' and editors' increasing familiarity with genuinely Egyptian religious ideas and traditions. In addition to this increased "Egyptization" of the Egypt oracles, another parallel trend can be identified in the later levels of the text: an increasing "Israelization" of Egypt, which is increasingly seen as an other counterpart to YHWH, similar to Israel. 
 

 From a methodological perspective, the work highlights the great theological potential that still lies in the diachronic analysis of this corpus of oracles, which in the recent past has been examined almost exclusively "synchronically," and emphasizes the importance of the methodological intertwining of text criticism, redaction criticism, and religious-historical methods.

A Year of Last Things

In his collected essays on international biblical intertextuality research, Stefan Alkier demonstrates what distinguishes the concept of intertextuality when both components - the spatial "inter" and the theoretical "textuality" - are taken at face value. In doing so, he highlights the innovative and productive contributions this concept makes to the exegesis of biblical texts. At the center is a decentralizing concept of meaning generation that takes into account the semiotic dynamics, performativity, complexity, and limitations of interpretive processes, as well as the inexhaustible richness of biblical texts in their intertextual and intermedial relationships and respective communicative contexts. Through concepts from intertextuality research, fundamental questions of human communication are thus brought into discussion: What can be meant by the "meaning" of a text, where and how is this meaning to be sought or constructed, and what characterizes the sign structure of a text? While the hermeneutic tradition of historical-critical exegesis is oriented toward the preposition "in" and presupposes a fixable locus of meaning, the preposition "inter" replaces the notion of a singular locus of meaning with a dynamic space of textual relationships that are constantly re-performed through the creative work of text producers and text recipients. The essays included in this volume offer a representative selection of Stefan Alkier's contributions to international intertextuality research over the past 25 years. The epilogue features an annotated bibliography looking back on 40 years of intertextuality research, as well as a previously unpublished in-depth interview with Richard B. Hays, the founder of New Testament intertextuality research, who passed away in 2025.

Volume IV - Writings

Most English Bibles tell you what the text says. They do not show you how the Hebrew works. The Hebrew Foundations Bible is designed to change that.
This interlinear edition of the Torah places the Hebrew text at the center of the reading experience, equipping readers to engage Scripture in its original language-even at an early stage of learning. Each Hebrew word is supported by a clear transliteration, a disambiguated Strong's number, and a concise lexical gloss, enabling readers to recognize vocabulary, follow grammatical structure, and begin thinking in Hebrew as they read.
Unlike traditional study Bibles, the English translation does not dominate the page. A narrow column based on the World English Bible provides contextual support while intentionally keeping the focus on the Hebrew text. This design encourages a gradual shift away from dependence on translation toward direct interaction with the language itself.
The layout is built for progression. Beginners gain orientation, intermediate readers reinforce patterns, and advanced readers track structure and nuance more closely. Over time, the reader moves from relying on aids to reading with increasing confidence and fluency.
This edition also includes variant notes highlighting significant textual differences preserved in the Masoretic tradition, ancient versions, and modern textual scholarship. Introductory material and reference charts provide guidance on the Hebrew writing system, transliteration conventions, and essential grammatical features.
The Hebrew Foundations Bible is intended for students, pastors, teachers, and serious readers who desire more than translation-those who want to see how the Hebrew text actually works. Volume IV contains the Writings: Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, 1 Chronicles, and 2 Chronicles

In this study, Ittai Gradel and Nils Arne Pedersen develop a new approach to the apocryphal Testament of Solomon by combining archaeology and textual analysis. The starting point is a group of ten 3rd-century rings, each inscribed in Greek: "Solomon says: 'Watch out!'" The phrase, puzzling as an apotropaic formula, makes sense only in light of the Testament of Solomon, where the king, empowered by a divine ring, subjugates demons. In a climactic episode, Solomon orders two demons to support a massive column until the Day of Judgment - precisely with the words "Watch out!" This unique command, permanently binding the demons, explains its adoption in everyday magical practice.
 

 The rings, securely dated, establish a 2nd-century date for the original version of the text and invite new reflections on its literary shape and development. While the preserved Testament alternates between first-person and third-person narration, the inscriptions suggest that the original form was a longer third-person narrative later abbreviated and reworked. From this basis, the authors develop a theory of its redactional history.
 

 The evidence points toward popular Christianity distinct from the patristic mainstream. Several rings display Christian iconography, one was linked to the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena, and parallels to Jewish Solomonic traditions are also apparent. Alexandria emerges as a plausible place of origin. The interdisciplinary synthesis - archaeology, history of religions, apocryphal studies, and folklore - generates fresh perspectives.
 

 The appendices enrich this contribution with translations of previously inaccessible versions of the Testament of Solomon, including one that contains a newly attested agraphon ascribed to Jesus, as well as a new edition and translation of a Syriac narrative. In this way, the authors significantly reposition the Testament of Solomon within the history of ancient religion and literature.

The Holy Land is more than a sanctified geographical space that roughly corresponds to the Roman province that has been known as Palaestina since the end of the Bar Kochba War. Instead, it is primarily an idea and imaginative space created by a complex interaction of texts, rituals, and material culture. The authors of this volume's contributions highlight the major role that extracanonical traditions - often misleadingly called apocryphal - which were written and read, celebrated and performed, and embodied in places, buildings, and material culture, have played in the construction of the Holy Land.
