John, Volume 4

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Dorothy A. Lee combines a lifetime’s passionate and erudite study of the Gospel of John with a poetic sensibility to provide a thorough and nuanced reading of its main themes. These themes are explored through a careful reading of the narrative, avoiding the tendencies to atomise or decontextualise which often affect such studies. Careful reflections on the themes’ relevance to historical and contemporary theological concerns round off each treatment. Professor Lee’s deep scholarship, lightly worn, deftly elucidated, and generously shared, ensures that this volume deserves to become a vade mecum.”

Judas Iscariot

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Richard Harvey’s Judas Iscariot takes a fresh look at the portrayal of Judas, particularly in Luke-Acts. Beginning with a detailed lexical analysis of the key terms of betrayal, blasphemy, and idolatry, he then makes a case for the identification of Judas as all of traitor, blasphemer, and idolater. At times controversial, Harvey’s thesis provocatively locates Judas in the anti-idol polemic identified by David Pao.”
