NT Blog: Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism

5.1 Stanley E. Porter and Andrew W. Pitts, Paul’s Bible, His Education and His Access to the Scriptures of Israel

5.2 Craig S. Keener, Three Notes on Figurative Language: Inverted Guilt in Acts 7.55-60, Paul’s Figurative Vote in Acts 26.10, Figurative Eyes in Galatians 4.15

As is usual with JGRChJ, these will remain online for the rest of the year, and then it will go print-only, as with earlier volumes, in an interesting reversal of the more common practice.

Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism Latest

The Journal of Greco Roman Christianity and Judaism has added a new article to Volume 4:

Nathan Eubank, Bakhtin and Lukan Politics: A Carnivalesque Reading of the Last Supper in the Third Gospel (PDF)

It is a particular pleasure for us to see this debut article from Nathan Eubank since he is joining the PhD programme here at Duke next month. I read the article several months ago and it is a fascinating piece.

Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism

Matt Brook O'Donnell has been in touch to confirm (see previous post) that the Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism has moved to a new, more stable location. And Volume 4 (2007) has now been opened with its first article:

4.1. David Reis, Flip-Flop? John Chrysostom's Polytropic Paul

Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism

Matthew Brook O'Donnell reminded me about blogging this some time ago, and then the RSS feed from the Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism tonight spewed out a list of all articles published so far in the journal since 2000. It may be because the URL has changed, now at http://jgrchj.net, but it reminds me that I have not recently mentioned the full ten article version of Volume 3 (2006). My memory is not good enough to recall whether any of these are new, though looking back over my blog, I see that the last time I mentioned it, in October, it had just the first four articles. This is the full line-up:
------
3.1. Craig Evans, Messianic Hopes and Messianic Figures in Late Antiquity

3.2. Richard Van Egmond, The Messianic ‘Son of David’ in Matthew

3.3. Ronald Weed, Aristotle on Justice (δικαιοσύνη): Character, Action and Some Pauline Counterparts

3.4. Michael Wojciechowski, Paul and Plutarch on Boasting

3.5. Barry F. Parker, Romans 7 and the Split Between Judaism and Christiainity

3.6. Craig S. Keener, Paul's 'Friends' The Asiarchs (Acts 19.31)

3.7. Lois K. Fuller, The 'Genitive Absolute' in New Testament/Hellenistic Greek: A Proposal for Clearer Understanding

3.8. Jonathan M. Watt, Contextual Disconnection in Bart Ehrman's Lost Christianities

3.9. Sean A. Adams, Luke's Preface and its Relationship to Greek Historiography: A Response to Loveday Alexander

3.10. Robert Stephen Reid, Ad Herennium Argument Strategies in 1 Corinthians
------------
I'm guessing that that closes Volume 3, and that we can expect more for 2007 soon.

A link a day

Today's new link is on the Gospel of Mark: Articles page and is taken from John S. Kloppenborg's homepage:

UP: John S. Kloppenborg, “Self-Help or Deus ex Machina in Mark 12.9”, New Testament Studies 50 (2004): 495-518

CORRECTED: Craig A. Evans, “Mark's Incipit and the Priene Calendar Inscription: From Jewish Gospel to Greco-Roman Gospel”, Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism 1 (2000): 67-81

The latter, which was on the Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism website is now available on Craig Evans's website.

A link a day

This is not quite in time to be Monday's "link a day", since it's 1.50 a.m. on Tuesday, but I hope that we can put that down as a technicality and allow this one in for Monday. To make up for the delay, I've added an extra link too:

Page updated: Historical Jesus: Books, Articles and Reviews

UP: Craig A. Evans, “Messianic Hopes and Messianic Figures in Late Antiquity”, Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism 3 (2006): 9-40

AND: Craig A. Evans, “Jewish Burial Traditions and the Resurrection of Jesus”, Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus 3 (2005): 233-48

The first is not, of course, strictly "Historical Jesus", but I am sure that its relevance to the topic will be obvious.

Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism

Thanks to Matthew Brook O'Donnell for alerting me to updates in the following journal:

Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism

I've added this to my Journals page. It used to be there some years ago, but got removed when the journal hit problems. Its first issue was in 2000 but then nothing appeared for some time, and the journal vanished from the web altogether, its URL poached by someone else. It returned in December 2003, now hosted at McMaster (see blog entry on). Now Volume 2 has been announced with a 2001-5 date. There are currently three articles on-line:

Zeba Crook, The Divine Benefactions of Paul the Client
Hans Förster, 7Q5 = Mark 6.52-53: A Challenge for Textual Criticism?
Malcolm Choat and Alanna Nobbs, Monotheistic Formulae of Belief in Greek Letters on Papyrus from the Second to the Fourth Century

Matt O'Donnell writes:

We are actively seeking new articles, to complete Volume 2 (which we hope to do by the summer and then to see it out in print by the end of the year), and to go into Volume 3.

The scope of the Journal is broad, covering the texts, language and cultures of the Graeco-Roman world of early Christianity and Judaism.

From editorial statement (http://divinity.mcmaster.ca/jgrchj/current):

"...the scope of this journal remains broad, with articles welcome on many areas of relevance to the journal’s aims. Nevertheless, the approach of the journal is also specific—to publish only the highest quality articles that examine the ways in which the Greco-Roman world was the world of the New Testament and early Judaism. The emphasis in the journal is thus on a range of possible approaches and bodies of material, including historical, linguistic, papyrological, epigraphical and synthetic studies of the kind that are often lacking in other journals. In fact, we encourage contributors to attempt to draw various areas of related knowledge together in their submissions."

The journal plans to keep material on-line for a year or so and then to push into print with Sheffield Phoenix Press, at the same time removing that volume from the web. So it's an interesting experiment in mixing on-line and print publication, though I think a little odd. Just as people are picking up the on-line versions of the articles and citing them, and creating some presence on the internet for their authors, they go to print only, and it's a pretty expensive print journal at £80 / $140 (institutional) or £40 / $70 (individual), and it is going to take some time for libaries to start picking up that first volume.

Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism is back

Some time ago the Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism disappeared from the web. I removed all my links to it in June 2003. This was a new electronic journal based at the University of Surrey Roehampton and the original plan was to place articles on-line as they appeared and then to produce a print version at the end of the year. The print version was to be published by Sheffield Academic Press. One full volume appeared in the year 2000 but nothing subsequently appeared and then even that disappeared. But now it has apparently been resurrected over at McMaster Divinity College in Canada which is where Stanley Porter, the editor, is now based. There is just a paragraph's information about the journal, but happily the volume from 2000 is back on-line:
