GRINDHEIM, SIGURD

Introducing Biblical Theology

London, Bloomsbury, 2013. IX, 267 pp. Fine copy. Softcover. Old Testament - Bible. How do the different books of the Christian bible contribute to telling the story of God's salvation in Jesus Christ? How can the diverse and sometimes confusing range of perspectives in the bible join together in one picture? Sigurd Grindheim shows students how this picture can be seen as that of the Triune God, the God who interacts. God makes human beings who enjoy a peaceful relationship with him. This relationship is broken because of sin, but God continues to reach out to human beings through covenants. Human failure to be faithful shows that God needs to intervene in a more direct way. In his son Jesus Christ, he comes to earth and brings reconciliation. Grindheim draws on insights from scholarship and tradition to answer the major questions and presents them in a highly accessible form, using examples, revision questions and charts. This book is written specifically for students at the start of courses in the Bible, Theology and Ministry, and for those searching for a deeper understanding of the theology of the Christian bible.

Halpern-Amaru, Betsy

The Empowerment of Women in the Book of Jubilees (Supplement to the Journal for the Study of Judaism 60)

Leiden, Brill, 1999. viIi, 182 pp. Fine copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. This volume examines the unusual interest in women characters displayed in the Book of Jubilees, an interpretive reworking of the biblical narratives of Genesis through Exodus 12, written in the second century BCE. Demonstrating a pattern in the characterizations, the study shows how a matrilineal standard of ethnic purity and elevation of the biblical matriarchs function as key aspects in a polemic against the acceptance of foreigners into the community.The latter part of the book explores the exegetical techniques used to develop the portraits and places the polemic in the historical context of Second Temple Judaism.The work is important for those interested in the history of biblical interpretation, in post biblical Jewish literature and the historical development of Judaism, and the portrayals of women in Hebrew Scriptures.

HARDMEIER, CHRISTOF

Erzahldiskurs Und Redepragmatik Im Alten Testament: Unterwegs zu einer performativen Theologie der Bibel. Forschungen zum Alten Testament, vol. 46. ISBN 9783161487729

Tübingen, Mohr, 2005. 444 pp. Dustjacket good, else fine. Hardcover with dustjacket. Old Testament. German language. This volume of essays contains works from three decades of research activities and outlines the way to a performative theology in the Bible. This theology is based on understanding biblical texts as written recorded orality of remembering and talking about God. Christof Hardmeier's studies deal with the dynamic variety of this talking, using examples, examine the communicative action structures in the texts, in order to reveal their sociohistorical and performative-theological functions. The articles focus on four main subjects: narration as a basic form of witnessing faith, unique aspects of the deuteronomistic torah, the discursive and pragmatic qualities of written prophecies and of the Psalms and the biblical-systematic starting-points to a performative theology in the Bible.
