The New Testament

This survey is an attempt to contribute to a much needed discussion of how to improve the quality of Danish New Testament research with the overall aim to make it more attractive to a wider circle of educated Danish readers. In other words, this survey is meant as an attempt to call Danish New Testament scholars to a self-critical discussion of the ways and lines Danish New Testament research has taken in the 1980s wehre, in my opinion, it has lost some of its earlier contact with both the academics and the general Danish public. In the article, Danish New Testament scholarship in the 1980s (and, to some extent, also in the 1970s and 1960s) is surveyed and examined critically. the "medicine" which is suggested to "cure the disease" is - to a greater extent, and by using the results of other related disciplines - to place the various examinations and interpretations of the New Testament and christian beginnings in wider historical and cultural contexts.

The news of the New Testament can be summarized as; God wants us to be His children, in the image of His likeness. The problem is how can believer achieve the God's goal of becoming a new human being? In Ephesians 4: 23-32 Paul explains about how believer can have a true new human spirituality. The purpose of this research is to find out how believers can have true new human spirituality. The research method used is a qualitative biblical approach by using historical and grammatical analysis. The results found several important behaviors that need to be done by believers to experience the renewal of the quality of the spiritual mind, in order to grow into a new human being desired by God, that is, speaking according to the truth, controlling anger, working optimally and behaving affectionately.

New Testament archaeology outside of the gospels traditionally focused on the eastern Mediterranean world and was directed to recovering inscriptional material, identifying sites, and documenting individuals mentioned in the New Testament. In the course of the twentieth century, archaeologists of the New Testament used archaeology to establish the backdrop to the New Testament (which frequently meant the urban worlds of Paul and the first Christians), and to reconstruct social and cultural contexts in the Pauline world. This chapter surveys these different approaches and considers how new methodologies and ways of thinking have provided a wealth of data beyond the physical space of the urban world. The chapter considers case studies from Cyprus, Asia Minor, Greece and Macedonia, and Crete.

This article explains that persecution is not only happening or experienced by the general public, but it is also experienced by the Lord's Church. This opinion is evidenced by evidence of information obtained from the Bible, especially the New Testament and also in the Church's historical literature. Then discussed further with the church because the church fellowship is different from the world or does not come from the world. Because the Church has been chosen and set apart by God to live differently from the world or live like Christ. And because Christ had already experienced it, then the later Church which is a follower of Christ also experiences similar things. And this writing is endowed with perspectives that have many benefits for the Church. As described above, there are at least five benefits. Such as: the empowerment of the Church may imitate the suffering that Christ has undergone or rather the Church has done the will of Jesus; persuasion helps spread the gospel in the world, persecution of the church can be a means of God to filter and filter out which true believers and non-believers, the quality of the church's faith will be further enhanced through persecution, and persecution of the church can help the church to bear fruit.

The Spirit of Life and the Spirit of Immortality: An Appreciative Review of Levison’s Filled with the Spirit

AbstractLevison’s Filled with the Spirit explores the deep difference between the two Testaments in how Spirit filling is understood. While the Old Testament holds Spirit filling to be a flourishing of human life through an interaction of divine and human initiatives, the New Testament sees it as a subsequent gift granted supernaturally through faith in Christ. Yet, there is also a sense of continuity in the midst of this difference, especially in how the flourishing of life resists death. This review appreciatively explores Levison’s understanding of such biblical tensions and continuities in the light of the one-sided accent of Pentecostalism on the supernatural quality of life in the Spirit, but also in the light of the question as to whether or not Levison has unnecessarily widened the gap between the pneumatologies of the two Testaments.

Original Reading

The four canonical gospels present the consistent sequence ἀλέκτωρ + φωνέω for the cock’s crow in Peter’s actual denial and its prediction by Jesus. The compound ἀλεκτοροφωνία in Mark 13:35 is the only alternative lexeme for the cock’s crow and, due to its single occurrence in the Greek Bible a hapax legomenon. In this study I follow up the variae lectiones in Matt 26:34 and 26:75, where the compound is backed by considerable and distinguished textual witnesses. By means of a validation of the attestation of these variae lectiones in the established critical editions of the New Testament it will be shown that their representation is often insufficient and incomplete. A speculative scenario will be created on the basis of the quality of the attestation of ἀλεκτοροφωνία in Matt 26:34 and 26:75 in order to make the compound plausible as the original reading. In addition, all this relativizes the importance and validity of the term hapax legomenon.

Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus has been the neglected member of the family of great uncials. Photographic facsimiles have been produced of ℵ, A, B, D, and others, but only a sample page or two of the valuable palimpsest is available in textbooks. All the important codices have been studied and collated more than once. But as regards Codex C only Tischendorf has transcribed its text and edited it according to modern standards. In textbooks on textual criticism Codex C has been given—almost without excepdon—less than half the space of any of the other main uncials. To be sure, it is a difficult manuscript to read, and many lacunae exist. Yet because of its age and the quality of its text, as well as the fact that it contains portions of all the sections of the New Testament, every possible detail should be accurately extracted from this once beautiful codex. Owing to this unwarranted neglect of Codex C, especially the fact that no one had tested the accuracy of Tischendorf's work, a new study was undertaken and a new edition is being prepared. The present article will include (1) a brief history Of thern manuscript and its use by textual critics; (2) introductory items on which new light may be shed or on which previous statements need to be corrected; and finally, (3) a list of the more significant errors found in Tischendorf's edition.

This chapter begins by looking at the setting from which the book of Isaiah in Greek first emerged, as well as at the date of its translation, the author behind it, and the maneuvers used in producing it. It then focuses on the various editions of the text and the manuscripts that witness to it. It surveys not only how the research, past and present, has approached this text, but also how this translation has been interpreted in select early Jewish and Christian writings. The chapter also highlights important areas of research that so far remain untouched or await further exploration. The analysis of the history of reception and interpretation of this translation, for instance, sheds light on the hermeneutics employed by the New Testament, as well as on the doctrines that influenced the history of theology. In the end, the chapter calls for more studies being undertaken to explore how Christian writers have employed the Greek Isaiah. Such investigations might yield startling results concerning the principles or the doctrinal motives that guided their exegesis and interpretation, and how the Greek Isaiah was relevant in various cultural contexts, starting with the community from which it first arose.

Is the theology of universal salvation reconcilable with the New Testament warnings about the possibility of damnation and with the long-standing teaching of the Church on hell? Does it take into account the doctrine of the last judgement where the just God gives to each man and woman according to his or her deeds? How can God be both just and merciful? Did God punish Jesus for our sins? If the greatness of God's transcendence consists in the infinite quality of God's mercy and God's saving justice, may we not hope that God's love made visible in the cross of Christ will wear down the heart of even the most hardened sinner.

Positive Roots

In the article related terms are deconstructively compared with each other, such as oikodomē (encouragement), dioikēsis theia (divine administration) and oikoumenē (inhabited world). The article aims to identify the positive roots of the term oikoumenē beyond the pejorative referencing in the New Testament as �imperial power�. It demonstrates that the notion basileiatou theou (kingdom of God) provides a key to discover the gift of love as the heart of ecodomy. The article concludes with a critical discussion of forms of inauthentic love in order to outline what kind of love is conveyed in Jesus� kingdom ethics. The article consists of four sections:(1) �When children rule the oikoumenē�, (2) �When power rules the oikoumenē�, (3) �When love rules the oikoumenē�, and finally (4) �Diff�rance� � when love is not love.
