Divine Wisdom as Judgment : Reading Biblical Wisdom with Karl Barth /
:
Divine Wisdom as Judgment insists that because the place we come to know God's wisdom is in God's overturning of human wisdom on the cross, the only possible wisdom that remains open to us is faith in this Judge. With attention to a neglected portion of Karl Barth's corpus, the repair of a widespread misperception about the incompatibility between Barth and biblical wisdom, and exegesis of Paul's apocalyptic gospel, this book enters discussion with one of contemporary theology's most ubiquitous themes.

The significance of Sinai : traditions about Sinai and divine revelation in Judaism and Christianity /
:
This volume of essays is concerned with ancient and modern Jewish and Christian views of the revelation at Sinai. The theme is highlighted in studies on the Dead Sea Scrolls, Paul, Josephus, rabbinic literature, art and philosophy. The contributions demonstrate that Sinai, as the location of the revelation, soon became less significant than the narratives that developed about what happened there. Those narratives were themselves transformed, not least to explain problems regarding the text's plain sense. Miraculous theophany, anthropomorphisms, the role of Moses, and the response of Israel were all handled with exegetical skills mustered by each new generation of readers. Furthermore, the content of the revelation, especially the covenant, was rethought in philosophical, political, and theological ways. This collection of studies is especially useful in showing something of the complexity of how scriptural traditions remain authoritative and lively for those who appeal to them from very different contexts.
