Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Saint Paul and Philosophy: The Consonance of Ancient and Modern Thought. Book.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this bold volume, George van Kooten reevaluates the dating of the Gospels, situates them anew in their first-century context, and shows why their message still resonates today.In Reverberations of Good News, George van Kooten brings the Gospels to life by situating them in the vibrant, complicated world of the first century. Far from being abstract religious writings, the Gospels are presented here as urgent responses to the real pressures of Roman occupation, Jewish identity, and Greek thought.Van Kooten shows how each Gospel--Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John--was crafted for specific audiences facing distinct challenges, whether confronting imperial power, reimagining ancient traditions, or engaging philosophical questions. As part of this project, van Kooten argues that the Gospel of John may actually be the earliest Gospel, not the latest. In so doing, he turns conventional wisdom on its head and opens up new ways of understanding Christianity's origins.By illuminating what the Gospels meant to first-century audiences, Reverberations of Good News invites readers to reflect more deeply on what the narratives mean today. Pastors preparing sermons, students seeking to understand the Bible's cultural and historical context, and anyone curious about Christianity's foundational narratives will come away with new insight into why the story of Jesus was--and continues to be--good news.

Paperback. Condition: New. The much-acclaimed present-day philosophical turn to the letters of Saint Paul points to a profound consonance between ancient and modern thought. Such is the bold claim of this study in which scholars from contemporary continental philosophy, new testamentary studies and ancient philosophy discuss with each other the meaning Paul's terms pistis, faith. In this volume, this theme discusses in detail the threefold relation between Paul and (1) continental thought, (2) the Graeco-Roman world, and (3) political theology. It is shown that pistis does not only concern a mode of knowing, but rather concerns the human ethos or mode of existence as a whole. Moreover, it is shown that the present-day political theological interest in Paul can be seen as an attempt to recuperate Paul's pistis in this comprehensive sense. Finally, an important discussion concerning the specific ontological implications and background of this reinterpretation of pistis is examined by comparing the ancient ontological commitments to those of the present-day philosophers. Thus, the volume offers an insight in a crucial consonance of ancient and modern thought concerning the question of pistis in Paul while not forgetting to stipulate important differences.…

Paperback. Condition: New. What made Jesus' message "good news" in its original context - and why does it still reverberate today? In Reverberations of Good News, the Gospels are brought vividly to life as cultural, political, and spiritual responses to the world of the first century. Rather than offering a detached or purely historical analysis, this book explores how Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John each articulate Jesus' message in strikingly different ways - through inner renewal, radical justice, peaceful subversion and a bold claim to truth. With fresh insight into the dating, authorship and purpose of the Gospels, George van Kooten challenges familiar assumptions and invites readers to see these texts as dynamic responses to real-world tensions. Bridging ancient context and modern meaning, this book is essential reading for preachers, students, and scholars alike- anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Gospels as living texts that continue to shape lives and societies.BLOGPOST: Read an extract on who the Magi were and why they travelled on the SCM Press blog here.…
