A View from BelowEdward Gudeman “Edward Gudeman’s The Abyss in Revelation provides a tradition-critical approach to the concept of the abyss in Revelation, exploring its roots in the Hebrew Bible and relevant later Jewish literature before examining the ways that Revelation develops these ideas to its unique end. Gudeman makes a compelling case for the centrality of the abyss in Revelation as it reflects the domain of evil overcome by the victory of Jesus.”

Divine Sonship in Jewish and Christian AntiquityEdited by Garrick V. Allen, Kai Akagi, Paul Sloan, and Madhavi Nevader In antiquity, “son of god”—meaning a ruler designated by the gods to carry out their will—was a title used by the Roman emperor Augustus and his successors as a way to reinforce their divinely appointed status. But this title was also used by early Christians to speak about Jesus, borrowing the idiom from Israelite and early Jewish discourses on monarchy. This interdisciplinary volume explores what it means to be God’s son(s) in ancient Jewish and early Christian literature. | | | |
Readings of Israel's Story in Nehemiah 9, Ezekiel 20, and Acts 7Vincent K. H. Ooi “The overall discussion surrounding the central question is helpful, and it forms an interesting development in understanding of a neglected area of research. . . . Ooi’s exegetical engagement with the texts was, in places, stimulating, leading to several interesting observations; it is commended to readers interested in the three texts it approaches, especially if they have an interest in the retelling of the story of Israel.”
