Interview with Richard Bauckham on Who is God?

Last updated on: August 29, 2020 at 7:27 pm By Michael F. Bird

Richard Bauckham’s new book is Who is God? Key Moments of Biblical Revelation (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 2020). If someone asked you to talk to a group of university students about God, what passage of the Bible would you go to and why? If I could really only choose one passage, I think it would be the Prologue to the Gospel of John, because it so clearly relates the Old Testament’s portrayal of God to the incarnation. In my book, it features... Read more

Philo, the Two Powers within Israel’s God, and 1 Cor 8:6

Last updated on: June 1, 2020 at 5:58 am By Michael F. Bird

I’ve recent recently noticed how Philo depicts Israel’s God as having two powers within himself, his creative and vitalizing power called “God” and his sovereign and regal power called “Lord.” For instance: Therefore the appellations already mentioned reveal the powers existing in the living God; for one title is that of Lord, according to which he governs; and the other is God, according to which he is beneficent. For which reason also, in the account of the creation of the... Read more

Two Types of Divinity and the Epistle to Diognetus

Last updated on: May 30, 2020 at 10:02 pm By Michael F. Bird

The ancient historian Herodotus (ca. 484-425 BCE) observed two types of worship Heracles, as an Olympian god and as a deified mortal: “And further: those Greeks, I think, are most in the right, who have established and practice two worships of Heracles, sacrificing to one Heracles as to an immortal [athanatō], and calling him the Olympian, but to the other bringing offerings as to a dead hero [hērōi enagizousi]” (Hist. 2.44). Diodorus Siculus (ca. 90-30 BCE) referred to this bipartite... Read more

JRT on Markus Barth

Last updated on: September 5, 2020 at 10:49 pm By Michael F. Bird

Some 15 years ago I was heralding the scholarly achievements of Markus Barth (son of Karl Barth).

Ziegler Pages: 167–168 The World of the Bible—Always Strange, Forever New Markus Barth as Teacher... Read more

Interview with Christoph Heilig on Paul as Narrator

Last updated on: August 27, 2020 at 8:21 pm By Michael F. Bird

Christoph, your first book was Hidden Criticism? about the alleged counter-imperial ethos of the New Testament. Your latest volume is Paulus als Erzahler? Eine narratologische Perspektive auf die Paulusbriefe (English: Paul as Story-Teller: A Narratological Perspective on Paul’s Letters). What brought you to this topic? In some sense, I wanted to do something quite similar in both cases, namely to scrutinize very influential approaches to Pauline exegesis on a fundamental level. (Note the question marks in both titles). Moreover, both... Read more
