Beskrivning

Redemption and Resistance brings together an eminent cast of contributors to provide a state-of-the-art discussion of Messianism as a topic of political and religious commitment and controversy. By surveying this motif over nearly a thousand years with the help of a focused historical and political searchlight, this volume is sure to break fresh ground. It will serve as an attractive contribution to the history of ancient Judaism and Christianity, of the complex and often problematic relationship between them, and of the conflicting loyalties their hopes for redemption created vis--vis a public order that was at first pagan and later Christian. Although each chapter is designed to stand on its own as an introduction to the topic at hand, the overall argument unfolds a coherent history. The first two parts, on pre-Christian Jewish and primitive Christian Messianism, set the stage by identifying two entities that in Part III are then addressed in the development of their explicit relationship in a Graeco-Roman world marked by violent persecution of Jewish and Christian hopes and loyalties.The story is then explored beyond the Constantinian turn and its abortive reversal under Julian, to the Christian Empire up to the rise of Islam.

Recensioner i media

"Most of them in the US or Britain, biblical scholars explore ancient thinking that combined messianic hopes for redemption with convictions and practices of resistance to political or political oppression. They cover Jewish messianic expectation through the Persian, Hasmonean, Herodian, and Graceo-Roman periods in the first section. The second section turns to the New Testament, considering such topics as resistance and redemption in the Jesus tradition, messiah and resistance in the gospel and epistles of John, the Christ of Paul, and the Apocalypse. Contact and controversy between the two religions is dealt with in the final section. Essays there include Jews and Christians in the Holy Land 135-325, the material remains, messianism in ancient Aramaic and Syriac translations of the Bible, pre-Islamic Byzantium, and the religious scene in seventh-century Jerusalem." -Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.
