In his view, God seeks to reconnect with humans after the Garden, trying first with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and then through Israel as a nation. Each of those efforts failed. Then, by means of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, God finally achieved that reconciliation. According to M., it is the crucifixion of Jesus, the warrior God, who became a human being, that explains OT violent events (p. 37). I do not see, however, how the incarnation and crucifixion explain the violent incidents in the Hebrew Bible. Nor do I understand how the two aspects of his argument relate to each other. For most of the book, he makes a point-by-point defense of divine actions. He concludes by asserting that God’s crucifixion explains divine violence. Mariottini also insists that this schema is not supersessionist. Supersessionism is the repudiated teaching whereby the church replaces Israel and Judaism. Christianity accomplishes through inner transformation what the Jews could not achieve through outward ritual. According to M., the view that Jesus was forming a new Israel does not mean this view represents supersessionism (p. 347). M. therefore denies that he is supersessionist because he allows a continuing role for Israel/Judaism in God’s plan. However, M. claims that what God failed to do in Israel, God achieves through the “crucified warrior God.” Yet this is supersessionism, where the Christian covenant replaces a failed Mosaic covenant. To conclude, M. stresses the importance of attending to divine violence because it contributes to the portrait of the biblical God, even when discomforting. However, I question M’s attempts to justify or mitigate some of the most disturbing passages in the Hebrew Bible. Why must God’s violence be consistent with God’s great love and mercy? These two ways of looking at God (vengeful and loving) do not cohere, and M.’s efforts to “contextualize” them ring hollow and unconvincing. He resolves the tension between these two aspects of God through logical and moral contortions that justify the unjustifiable. In two places M. acknowledges the multivocal nature of the biblical text, but overall he views the Bible as having all its parts consistent, speaking with a single voice. This determines how he will answer for these troublesome texts. Why not accept the obvious, that the Hebrew Bible presents conflicting understandings of God, and leave it up to pious readers and biblical scholars to navigate the various portrayals? Although I disagree with M.’s conclusions, he is a thorough scholar. His bibliography is voluminous. He has consulted nearly everything. He engages with many of the best minds in the field. By this work he has become a significant participant in the discourse of theodicy.","PeriodicalId":45718,"journal":{"name":"CATHOLIC BIBLICAL QUARTERLY","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47983723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Gospel of Judas: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary by David Brakke (review)","authors":"S. McGinn","doi":"10.1353/cbq.2023.0057","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/cbq.2023.0057","url":null,"abstract":"In chap. 4, B. discusses the historical plausibility that Onesimus was a broker negotiating with Paul, Philemon, and the church in Philemon’s household. To endorse this idea, B. draws a parallel between the role of Epaphroditus in Philippians (2:25; 4:18) and that of Onesimus in Philemon, as both figures were sent to the incarcerated apostle Paul so as to help him out. B. also singles out the parallel between Burrhus, a deacon in the Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians, and Onesimus in Philemon in that both were the envoys dispatched to Paul during his imprisonment. Evidence from both nonbiblical and extrabiblical texts leads B. to conclude that Onesimus was a deacon, since in earliest Christianity prison visitation was one of the specific duties of a deacon. Beavis divides the last chapter into two smaller sections. First, she discusses the historical reconstruction of Philemon through an intertextual analysis of the letter to the Colossians and Ignatius’s letter to the Ephesians, at the same time maintaining focus on Onesimus. By and large, such an intertextual study generates a fresh image of Onesimus as a devout and trustworthy disciple. Second, B. investigates the reception of Onesimus in church history. Ecclesiastical tradition tends to remember Onesimus as the bishop of Ephesus or as one of the martyrs in earliest Christianity. B. emphasizes that Onesimus has historically been commemorated variously as a significant figure, perhaps a deacon, a bishop, a witness, or a saint. Beavis concludes her study with an ingenious afterword that conjures up the silenced voice of Onesimus, which is hidden but retrievable in Philemon through imaginary conversations with the former slaves, both ancient and modern, based on their stories. This creatively crafted afterword is sufficient to inspire readers to reread Philemon from a doulocentric standpoint. Overall, B.’s retelling of Philemon from a marginal perspective illustrates the possibility of hearing the voices of the silenced and restoring agency to the oppressed throughout the history of Christianity. This innovative book is highly recommended to any students, laypeople, church leaders, and theologians who are committed to fostering the Christian virtue of social justice by interpreting biblical texts in other ways.","PeriodicalId":45718,"journal":{"name":"CATHOLIC BIBLICAL QUARTERLY","volume":"85 1","pages":"353 - 355"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46599708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Oxford Handbook of the Book of Revelation ed. by Craig R. Koester","authors":"Scott D. Mackie","doi":"10.1353/cbq.2023.0067","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/cbq.2023.0067","url":null,"abstract":"Reviewed by: The Oxford Handbook of the Book of Revelation ed. by Craig R. Koester Scott D. Mackie craig r. koester (ed.), The Oxford Handbook of the Book of Revelation (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2020). Pp. xxi + 525. $150. Composed of thirty essays, this handbook provides an excellent introduction to the most important scholarly trends that have shaped discussion of Revelation in the past twenty to thirty years. The editor, Craig R. Koester, puts the volume on fine footing with his \"Introduction to Revelation's Social Setting, Theological Perspective, and Literary Design\" (pp. 1–17), which briefly considers a variety of interpretive issues and summarizes the six vision cycles that structure Revelation. He believes divine identity and theodicy are the central questions motivating Revelation; thus, \"Who is the Lord of the world?\" and \"Why would the sovereign God allow injustice to occur?\" (p. 11). Literary features are treated in the first section, beginning with Mitchell G. Reddish's \"The Genre of the Book of Revelation\" (pp. 21–35), which prioritizes apocalypse over prophecy and letter, and \"Narrative Features of the Book of Revelation,\" by James L. Resseguie (pp. 37–52), who characterizes Revelation's \"masterplot\" as a \"quest story of the people of God in search of a new promised land, the new Jerusalem\" (p. 48). The evocative imagery of Revelation is unmatched in the NT, and Konrad Huber (\"Imagery in the Book of Revelation,\" pp. 53–67) believes its many verbal pictures, symbols, and metaphors were designed to appeal persuasively to the visual imaginations of its hearers. In \"Rhetorical Features of the Book of Revelation\" (pp. 69–83), David A. deSilva describes Revelation as an \"apocalypse\" that \"unveils\" and interprets \"facets of the lived experience of its audiences, 'revealing' the spiritual dimensions\" and \"'true' nature of … those facets of their situation\" (p. 70). Moreover, the rhetoric of Revelation strategically enlists authoritative voices (the Spirit, Jesus, angels, God, and other \"supernatural beings\" [p. 72]) and appeals to the intellect as well as the emotions (awe, shame, fear, and confidence). The OT also constitutes an important authoritative voice, and Steve Moyise's essay, \"The Old Testament in the Book of Revelation\" (pp. 85–100), identifies the scriptural symbols and vocabulary with which the author expresses his visionary rhetoric. The section concludes with David L. Mathewson, \"Revelation's Use of the Greek Language\" (pp. 101–14), and Justin P. Jeffcoat Schedtler, \"The Hymns in Revelation\" (pp. 115–30). The next section, \"Social Setting,\" begins with Warren Carter, \"Revelation and Roman Rule in First-Century Asia Minor\" (pp. 133–51); Carter endorses a growing consensus that the biblical author has exaggerated imperial persecution and societal threats in order to heighten resistance to cultural assimilation and accommodation. In response to both real and perceived threats, Mikael Tellbe (\"Relationships among Christ-","PeriodicalId":45718,"journal":{"name":"CATHOLIC BIBLICAL QUARTERLY","volume":"473 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135627839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mary travels to Elizabeth to help her in the final months of her pregnancy, with the birth of John, and during the early postpartum period.","PeriodicalId":45718,"journal":{"name":"CATHOLIC BIBLICAL QUARTERLY","volume":"85 1","pages":"276 - 296"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41971155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
