  Additional Info
  In this study in three-dimensional character reconstruction, Cornelis Bennema presents a new theory of character in the New Testament literature. Although character has been the subject of focused literary-critical study of the New Testament since the 1970s, Bennema observes that there is still no consensus regarding how character should be understood in contemporary literary theory or in biblical studies.

  Many New Testament scholars seem to presume that characters in Greco-Roman literature are two-dimensional, “Aristotelian” figures, unlike the well-rounded, psychologized individuals who appear in modern fiction. They continue nevertheless to apply contemporary literary theory to characters in ancient writings. Bennema here offers a full, comprehensive, and non-reductionist theory for the analysis, classification, and evaluation of characters in the New Testament.

  Spirit And Christ In The New Testament And Christian Theology

  $63.99

  This volume gathers writings about the Spirit and Christ by notable scholars such as Richard Bauckham, D. A. Carson, James Dunn, and others. Covering such topics as the life-giving work of the Spirit, the Spirit in Luke and Acts, the gift of the Spirit in John 19-20, pneumatology and justification, and community life through the Spirit, the twenty essays included take a primarily biblical and theological approach. The result is a fitting tribute to Max Turner, whose outstanding scholarship has focused on pneumatology and Christology.
