Eis Peirasmón

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A very thorough investigation that takes as its starting point the theological difficulty—within the church itself—of making sense of the traditional translation of the Lord’s Prayer. The study answers the question whether God can lead into temptation by applying a whole arsenal of accepted exegetical methods. The result is well argued and surprising: an endorsement of God’s grace in the time of peirasmós.”

Performance Criticism of the Pauline Letters

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Bernhard Oestreich reminds us that early Christian writings were designed to be experienced by the ear. He presents a rigorous scholarly argument for why it is that not only the gospel stories but also the letters of Paul are better understood as a script for a performance than a text that should be quietly read by individuals.”

Salomé

Fiction

“Patti Rutka joins the choir of artists, poets, and storytellers who for millennia have been exploring new angles of the biblical anecdote, demonstrating once more that the Bible is not written for children; the strong sexual content and the graphic violence of the account makes this story appropriate for a mature audience only.”
