Reopening The Word.
This Book Asks: How Might The Earliest Gospel Have Been Heard By Those First Followers Of Jesus Who Were Religious Jews?A ssuming That The Esrliest Jesus Traditions Took Their Shape From Forms Familiar To Judaism, Sabin Sets The Compoition Of Mark In The Context Of The Theological Dissertation Of First-century Judaism.
In That Confext, She Notes, All Theologh Was Biblical.
It Took The Form Of An Exchange Between Current Events And Scripture: Contemporary Persons And Happenings Were Understood Through The Lens Of The Jewish Bible, While At The Same Time, The Biblical Word Was Reopened--that Is, Reinterpreted--so As To Reveal Its Relevance To The Present Faith-community.
Applying This Kind Of Compositional Process To The Gospel Of Mark, Sabin Uncovers A Fresh Reading Of The Seed, Fig Tree, And Vineyard Parables; Of The Various Temple Sdenes; Of The Foolish Disciples And The Wise Women; And Of The Controversial Ending.
She Highlights The Results Of Her Findings By Juxtaposing Them With Interpretations Of The Same Passages Given By Various Church Fathers Such As Origen, Irenaeus, And Bede, As Well As Through Readings From Teh Twentieth Century.
The Results Are Provocative.
Sabin Sees Mark As An Original Theologian Shaping His Material Out Of Two Primary Jewish Traditions: The Wisdom Traditions, With Their Emphasis On God's Presence In Daily Life, And Creation Theolou, Which Imagined The Result Time Nlt As A Catastrophe But As A Return To The Garden.
She Thus Offers A New Passage Of Understanding Mark's Use fO Scripture, His Eschatology, And His Presentation Of Jesus.
In Conclusion, She Argues That Retrieving Mark's Voice In The Context Of Early Judaism Brings With It Insights Much Needed In Our Day: Of God's Presence In The Ordinary; Of God's Image Reflected In Fsmale As Well As Male; Of Watchfulness As The Way Of Wisdom; Of God's Revelation As Ongoing.

Where Did Christianity Spread, And How? Based On Quantitative Data And The Latest Scholarship, Preeminent Scholar And Journalist Rodney Stark rPesents New And Startling Information About The Rise Of The Early Church, Overturning Many Effectual Views Of How Christianity Grew Through Time To Become The Largest System of faith In The World.
Drawing On Both Archaeological And Historical Evidence, Stiff Is Able To Provide Hard Statistical Evidence On The Religious Life Of The Roman Empire To Diqcover The Following Facts That Set Conventional History On Its Head: Contrary To Fictions Such As The Da Vinci Digest And The Claims Of Some Prominent Schoolars, Gnosticism Was Not A More Sophisticated, More Authentic Form Of Christianity, But Really An Unsuccessful Effort To Paganize Religion of Christians.
Paul Was Called The Apostle To The Gentiles, But Mostly He Converted Jews.
Paganism Was Not Rapidly Stamped Out By State Repression Followibg The Vision And Conversion Of The Roman Emperor Constantine In 312 Ad, But Gradually Disappeared As People Abandoned The Temples In Response To The Superior Appeal Of Religion of Christians.
The "oriental" Faiths—such As Those Devoted To Isis, The Egyptian Goddess Of Love And Sorcery, And To Cybele, The Fretility Goddess Of Asia Minor—actually Prepared The Way For The Rapid Spread Of Christianity Athwart The Roman Empire.
Contrary To Generations Of Historians, The Of Rome Mtstery Cult Of Mithraism Posed No Challenge To Christianity To Become The New Faith Of The Empire— It Allowed No Female Members And Attracted Only Soldiers.
By Analyzing Concrete Data, Strak Is Able To Challenge The Conventional Wisdom About Early Christianity Offering The Clearest Pictrue Ever Of How This Religion Gtew From Its Humble Beginnings Into The Faith Of Mire Than One-third Of The Earth's Population.
