the historical character of Jesus - 4c Jesus in Second Thessalonians
the historical character of Jesus - 4c Jesus in Second Thessalonians
by SPCK - David Allen
Jesus in Second Thessalonians The Jesusology of 2 Thessalonians can be summarized in fairly brief and succinct fashion. Although Jesus is named reasonably frequently throughout the letter, the references almost exclusively relate to the second, rather than the first coming…

the historical character of Jesus - 4 “The ascended Christ”: Jesus in Deutro-Paul
by SPCK - David Allen
“The ascended Christ”: Jesus in Deutro-Paul Any attempt to ponder the portrayal of Jesus in the Deutero- Pauline corpus necessarily invites some hesitation or caution. By separating the texts off from the so-called Hauptbriefe or primary letters of Paul…
the historical character of Jesus - 4b Jesus in Ephesians
the historical character of Jesus - 4b Jesus in Ephesians
by SPCK - David Allen
Jesus in Ephesians The close similarity between Ephesians and Colossians is a well-established datum of NT scholarship. Ephesians shares, exceeds even, the emphasis on the exaltedness of Christ in Colossians and his supremacy over rulers, powers and authorities (Eph. 1.20 –23).15…

the historical character of Jesus - 5c Identity: Jesus – the human “high priest”
the historical character of Jesus - 5c Identity: Jesus – the human “high priest”
by SPCK - David Allen
Identity: Jesus – the human “high priest” It remains the case, though, that Jesus’ humanity is fundamental to the epistle’s message and intrinsic to the efficacy of his high-priestly activity. Indeed, one might argue that, of all the canonical nonevangelical testimony (and maybe …
the historical character of Jesus - 5 “The sacrificial high priest”: Jesus in Hebrews
the historical character of Jesus - 5 “The sacrificial high priest”: Jesus in Hebrews
by SPCK - David Allen
“The sacrificial high priest”: Jesus in Hebrews In many ways, the ambience or ‘feel’ of Hebrews is fundamentally different from that of the rest of the NT, making it ‘almost certainly the most mysterious text to have been preserved in the NT canon’.1 Its focus on sacrifice, new c…
the historical character of Jesus - 5b Identity: Jesus – the heavenly high priest
the historical character of Jesus - 5b Identity: Jesus – the heavenly high priest
by SPCK - David Allen
Identity: Jesus – the heavenly high priest While recognizing this continuity between the earthly Jesus and the exalted Son,15 it is heuristically convenient to distinguish the respective portraits within the letter…
the historical character of Jesus - 7 “The model Christian”: Jesus in 1 and 2 Peter and Jude
the historical character of Jesus - 7 “The model Christian”: Jesus in 1 and 2 Peter and Jude
by SPCK - David Allen
“The model Christian”: Jesus in 1 and2 Peter and Jude If Hebrews and James offer different and distinctive portraits of Jesus when compared with that of Paul, can the same be said of the two Petrine epistles and the letter authored by Jude? How does the Petrine Jesus compare to t…
the historical character of Jesus - 6b James and the Jesus tradition
the historical character of Jesus - 6b James and the Jesus tradition
by SPCK - David Allen
James and the Jesus tradition Were the Jacobean Jesus merely just about locating specific references to Jesus’ name, then even with the most optimistic application of 2.1, we would surely end up with a fairly limited picture, a faint portrait at the very best…
the historical character of Jesus - 6c The Jesus behind the Jacobean text
the historical character of Jesus - 6c The Jesus behind the Jacobean text
by SPCK - David Allen
The Jesus behind the Jacobean text The parallels between James and the Synoptic Jesus teaching are of interest/value, and I have suggested that it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that James does not somehow have the pattern of Jesus in mind as the one whose faithfulness was …

the historical character of Jesus - 8b Jesus in 2 and 3 John
by SPCK - David Allen
“The apocalyptic Son of Man”: Jesus in the Johannine letters and Revelation The other two Johannine epistles have much less to say about Jesus. As I have noted, 3 John is effectively silent on the subject, but the second epistle is slightly more forthcoming. It identifies Jesus a…

by SPCK - David Allen
“The apocalyptic Son of Man”: Jesus in the Johannine letters and Revelation Perhaps more than any of our texts under discussion, the Johannine corpus poses the most significant questions regarding the identity of the historical Jesus. The texts themselves – the three epistles att…
