Through his healings and exorcisms (deeds of power – dynameis ) and speeches, Jesus empowered and renewed the people of Palestine to face and oppose these rulers.","PeriodicalId":44026,"journal":{"name":"SCOTTISH JOURNAL OF THEOLOGY","volume":"76 1","pages":"297 - 298"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44644585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Will it describe forms of rhetoric or techniques of persuasion? The subtitle suggests something different: Christological and Trinitarian Rules for Exegesis . Ah, this may be a contribution to the theological interpretation of Scripture, focusing perhaps on how much of Jesus and the Spirit we should look for in the Old Testament. The introduction does not at first disabuse one of either notion but suggests something much broader: the goal is ‘ to assemble a toolkit … to enable better exegesis ’ , with the ultimate end of seeing God (p. xvii). The co-authors have their doctorates in New Testament from Cambridge (Jamieson) and systematic theology from St. Andrews (Wittman). Jamieson is associate pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, DC, while Wittman is assistant professor of theology at New Orleans Baptist Seminary in Louisiana. Wittman is the primary author of chapters 1 – 6; Jamieson, of the introduction and chapters 7 – 10. Not surprisingly, they hope to bridge the divide that often separates their disciplines, convincing each ‘ side ’ that they need more of the other. What the book actually provides is quite different from an exegetical toolkit. The two main foci of the volume boil down to the need for seeing God as the end goal of Scripture study and for recognising that God as the Christian Trinity. The authors neither affirm nor deny they are practicing the theological interpretation of Scripture, claiming that the label has no relevance for them. Throughout the book, they present seven principles that yield ten rules for exegetical practice that are elaborated and/or defended in nine chapters, with a tenth chapter ‘ putting the rule-kit to work ’ in ‘ reading John 5:17 – 30 ’ (p. 213). The principles involve affirming the inspiration of Scripture as part of God ’ s wise pedagogy","PeriodicalId":44026,"journal":{"name":"SCOTTISH JOURNAL OF THEOLOGY","volume":"76 1","pages":"303 - 304"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43824536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to Millare, Ratzinger follows Romano Guardini ’ s insistence on giving primacy to logos over ethos and sets the logos of communio against the modern overshadowing of truth by a concern for praxis and a preoccupation with the individual. Millare ’ s argument stretches over five chapters. First, he traces Guardini ’ s influence on Ratzinger to explain the latter ’ s rejection of contemporary theology ’ s preoccupation with the concerns of this world, immanentised conceptions of salvation, the subjection of the liturgy to individual whim or collective discretion, neo-Nestorian Christologies and worldly conceptions of hope. Second, Millare turns to Ratzinger ’ s eucharistic ecclesiology.","PeriodicalId":44026,"journal":{"name":"SCOTTISH JOURNAL OF THEOLOGY","volume":"76 1","pages":"295 - 296"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46616766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
