the historical character of Jesus - 1c Portraits of Jesus
by SPCK - David Allen
Portraits of Jesus If, then, the non-Gospel material does have something useful to contribute to studies of Jesus, how might we go about using them? Our approach in this book will be to try and answer two distinct but related questions…
the historical character of Jesus - 2b The ‘earthly Jesus’ as character in Acts
the historical character of Jesus - 2b The ‘earthly Jesus’ as character in Acts
by SPCK - David Allen
“The witnessed one”: Jesus in Acts Whatever one’s reason for so doing, the task of engaging with the book of Acts is fraught with interpretative questions. The discourse has two distinct textual traditions – the so-called Western and Alexandrian versions, with not insignificant v…
the historical character of Jesus - 2d The story of Jesus in Acts
the historical character of Jesus - 2d The story of Jesus in Acts
by SPCK - David Allen
The story of Jesus in Acts But does Acts have anything more explicit about Jesus himself? If Acts disavows the need to root the Church’s practice and self-understanding in explicit appeal to Jesus’ teaching, are there other ways in which Jesus is remembered in its retelling of th…
the historical character of Jesus - 3c Paul’s ‘use’ of Jesus’ teaching
the historical character of Jesus - 3c Paul’s ‘use’ of Jesus’ teaching
by SPCK - David Allen
Paul’s ‘use’ of Jesus’ teaching As well as the incidental references to Jesus’ life, Paul also cites Jesus logia, or at least claims to do so, at several points within his letters (and most notably within the Corinthian correspondence)…
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 - 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
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 - 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 …
