Barber M: The Historical Jesus and the
Temple

The Historical Jesus and the Temple

Memory, Methodology, and the Gospel of Matthew

The Book of Joy

Can we still talk about Christian ethics? As most data show a great exodus from the Church, and general dissatisfaction with organized Christianity, there exists an urgent question of whether 2,000 years of Christianity have done more harm than good upon the Earth and its people. Christianity has been integral to colonialism, white supremacy, and the Atlantic Slave Trade, and perpetuates racism today. Large segments of Christianity continue to endorse discrimination against women, LGBTQ individuals, and other marginalized groups; underwrite a capitalist system that destroys the planet and renders portions uninhabitable; and manufacture a complex, individualized approach to poverty that promotes charity work but resists structural engagement. Christianity has done much harm in the name of Jesus. In fact, for at least the past thousand years, the mission of Jesus has been captive to a colonial ethic of exploitation and oppression that has contorted and distorted much of Christian theology and practice of ministry. This book issues a call to liberate Jesus from this oppressive, colonial ethic. It enjoins Christians with privilege and power to promote a decolonial, liberative Christian ethic that serves as a corrective to the harms Christianity has manifest and conventional Christian ethics has neglected or even supported. Liberating Jesus is designed for use in seminary or undergraduate classrooms, as well as for broader, public appeal, such as church or denominational study groups. It is not intended to be a comprehensive survey of the field. Rather, particular commitments animate the framework, namely a concern for justice and liberation. The ethical model presented and applied draws upon interwoven threads of liberationist, womanist, Anabaptist, and postliberal theologies, and offers a framework for a communitarian virtue ethic of liberation. It identifies the commonalities between these threads, notably the importance of community, character, and justice-while acknowledging their distinctions-and directs them toward the target audience: Christians who embody and enjoy various levels of social, economic, and political privilege. In doing so, it calls on them to confront the oppressive legacy of Christian ethics and begin to understand ethics as formation into a life of service and advocacy, following the witness of Jesus, for the liberation of the marginalized. By drawing on such an array of theological approaches, the book offers multiple entry points for readers from various perspectives and introduces them to a diverse collection of thinkers and surprising conclusions found at the intersections of these approaches. Liberating Jesus provides Christians with various levels of privilege a way to understand their role and responsibility in participating in movements for justice and liberation. Includes discussion questions and resources for further reading at the end of each chapter.

Uncluttered Faith

This incisive work offers the first comprehensive analysis of the history of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin in Britain. Drawing on previously closed archives, this book dives into their origins and their presence in Britain as missionaries between the Reformation and the French Revolution. It then explores the establishment of a permanent province from the 1850s onward. Using manuscripts, letters, diaries, logbooks, mission reports, and unpublished accounts, this book explores how the Capuchin archives bring new perspective on a range of important historical moments, including nineteenth century anti-Catholicism, Catholic emancipation and the rebuilding of Catholicism in Britain, both World Wars, the impact of Vatican II, and the decline of the religious orders in Britain in recent decades.

T&T Clark’s Study Guides to the New Testament

This study guide to 1 Corinthians aims at providing historical, literary, and theoretical introductory materials to graduate and advanced undergraduate students. Ekaputra Tupamahu focuses first on the historical introduction into the city of Corinth (as both a Hellenistic polis and Roman colony) and Paul's relationship with the Corinthians. Tupamahu then examines the issues of surrounding literary analysis, such as literary structure and rhetorical strategy. Finally, he highlights several theoretical frameworks in the process of reading the conflict in the Corinthian church. The theoretical discussions in this book (i.e., postcolonial, race-ethnic, and gender) are based primarily on Homi Bhabha's insistence that colonial discourse will work through the production of both racial and sexual difference, with the overall goal of providing sufficient introductory materials to students to wrestle with the worlds behind, in, and in front of the text - while at the same time fully aware that these divisions are not completely separate from one another. Consequently, students are stimulated to explore further the many different ways of understanding the relationship between Paul, his letter and the Corinthians.

Theology and Medicine in Conversation

This book explores how the New Testament, specifically the four canonical gospels, negotiate the Roman imperial world. Each chapter contributes to a larger goal of demonstrating how the Roman imperial world functions as a critical context that can yield new and exciting perspectives on the gospel narratives. Within this volume, scholars from a variety of contexts come together to examine a particular aspect of negotiation with the Roman Empire, including Genre and Composition, Economic Justice and Social Ethics, Ritual Purity and Ethnicity, Roman Figures, Hegemonic Narratives of Empire, and Gender Construction. The contributors provide an interdisciplinary perspective, incorporating literary studies, gender criticism, Jewish studies, and disability studies.

Jewish and Christian Texts

Erich S. Gruen investigates a remarkable phenomenon in religious and literary history: the freedom with which Jewish writers in antiquity retold and recast, sometimes distorted or bypassed, biblical narratives that ostensibly had the status of sacred texts. Gruen asks the question of what prompted such tampering with tales that carried divine authority, and what implications this widespread practice of liberal revising had for attitudes toward the sacrality of the scriptures in general. Gruen focuses upon writings of the Second Temple period, an era of the deep integration of Jewish history and the Greco-Roman world. Gruen brings to the task the training of a classicist and ancient historian rather than that of a biblical textual critic or a rabbinics scholar, not pursuing the commentaries of the later rabbis with their very different approaches, methods, and goals. As such, Gruen's emphasis rests upon narrative rather than legal matters, the haggadic rather than the halakhic. The former lends itself most readily to the creative instincts of the re-tellers.
