Paul describes his own ministry in ways that identify with the least: “a slave to all, an orphan, a premature infant, impoverished, indebted, a laborer, hungry, naked, and thirsty” (p. 11). Paul’s work also witnesses the self-lowering of God in Christ who identifies with “the least.” This central feature of Paul’s Christology makes possible the church’s concern for the least because it is a church grounded in God’s very self-identification with the least. Thus, a proclamation of Pauline theology apart from concern for “the least,” is to engage in an abstraction alien to Paul’s own theology. Paul’s ministry of proclamation of Christ’s death and resurrection is the occasion to rightly attend to Paul’s exhortation for his communities to care for the least, marginal, and poor in their midst. Following the crucified and resurrected Christ is to be attentive to the needs of “the least” in our midst. It is to be possessed by a vision of God’s world, engaging in collections for care, remembering the poor and least, and bearing each other’s burdens. It is to be that redeemed community of believers, called the church, rooted in a set of narrative convictions about who God is in Jesus that makes possible such concern for the good of the least.","PeriodicalId":21049,"journal":{"name":"Review & Expositor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42930554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lockett goes to extremes to find some of these themes in multiple letters. To find a reference to the love command in Jude, Lockett must argue that one should consider the command to have mercy in Jude 22–23 as “an implicit command to love” (p. 216). Regarding the theme of trials and persecution in Jude, Lockett considers the church’s stand against false teaching “a trial the church must overcome” (p. 219). The book offers an adequate introduction to these letters. It is clearly intended for those with little knowledge of the New Testament. For example, Lockett explains the term “chiasm” in his discussion of 1 Peter 2:13–3:12. He points out that the event to which the author of 2 Peter refers in 2:17 is the transfiguration, which, he notes, is found in the Synoptic Gospels. Lockett tells his readers that midrashim is the plural of midrash. Lockett’s reading of these letters follows mostly traditional trajectories; he states that the author of James is the brother of Jesus, and John the son of Zebedee wrote 1 John and the Gospel of John. Lockett does, however, admit that there is good reason to believe that Peter was not the author of 2 Peter. Although several of the connections between the letters were forced, the book does serve as a reminder that these letters share perspectives on common themes and that a canonical reading can be fruitful. I can recommend this book for students unfamiliar with the New Testament in general and with these documents in particular, with the caveat that in a classroom setting one would have to be prepared to present more critical and nuanced arguments in some cases.","PeriodicalId":21049,"journal":{"name":"Review & Expositor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43974344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method of Borgman and Clark is primarily to summarize virtually the entire narrative of each book, with explanatory notes drawing attention to important features and themes. They use headings, bullet points, and outlines of chiasms and other structures to illustrate critical aspects of the telling of the stories that they argue would be apparent to hearers when read aloud, as these early biblical narratives were undoubtedly intended. The result is a fairly comprehensive treatment of the Gospels and Acts that offers a unifying road map through them, especially for readers unfamiliar with perspectives scholars have advanced in recent years through rhetorical and literary approaches. The inescapable irony of the book, however, is that this passionate lesson in “hearing” the gospel message is presented entirely by means of written instructions. The book has no explicit directions for performing the text, or even encouragement to do so. In fact, it contains scarcely any reference to the burgeoning field of biblical performance criticism and its considerable resources that would shine light on Borgman’s and Clark’s approach. References to “hearing cues” make up a significant portion of the book, but Borgman and Clark do little to demonstrate how their treatment of these cues as auditory phenomena differs from consideration of them as key words in a basic literary or rhetorical analysis. The criteria for “hearing cues” are unclear; their auditory distinctiveness is taken for granted but never demonstrated. The book makes almost no reference to the actual sound of the Greek words in the original texts. The volume’s general nature might explain why the authors would avoid a highly technical approach to discussing phonological matters (one thinks, e.g., of Bernard Brandon Scott and Margaret Ellen Lee’s groundbreaking work in Sound Mapping the New Testament), and yet why they have not at least introduced their readers to relevant insights in this area is puzzling. This volume might best be utilized as a reference work for persons studying texts in the Gospels and Acts in preparation for sermon writing or Bible study. The organization of the book makes it easy to explore particular passages and their function within the larger biblical book of which they are a part. Some readers may experience a revelation in the treatment of each Gospel as a unique, self-contained telling of the story with a unified message. The weight of the extended summary and explanation in each chapter, however, would seem to commend itself more to use as a commentary. In many ways, it functions similarly to the numerous narrative treatments of the Gospels that emerged in the 1980s and 1990s, or the Reading the New Testament commentary series, all the volumes of which are subtitled “A Literary and Theological","PeriodicalId":21049,"journal":{"name":"Review & Expositor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65131425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
