BIBLICAL STUDIES Blackwell Bible Commentaries Series: The Blackwell Bible Commentaries offer a genuinely new approach in their emphasis on the way the Bible has been used and interpreted through the ages, from the church fathers through to current popular culture, and in spheres as diverse as art and politics, hymns and official church statements. This outstanding series will be appreciated by students, their teachers, and by anyone who wishes to understand how the Bible has been interpreted down the ages, and is still used in contemporary culture. Further information about the series is available from the Blackwell Bible Commentaries website at http://www.bbibcomm.net/ 1 & 2 Thessalonians Through the Centuries Anthony C. Thiselton University of Nottingham, UK Thiselton’s reception history commentary on the first two of Paul’s epistles investigates the evolution of religious beliefs and practices resulting from the letters, and their impact on social and political developments across the centuries. It also demonstrates how these events and changing customs in turn influenced the interpretation of the letters. Thiselton’s analysis provides a broad range of original perspectives, offering the reader a depth and appreciation of these two important letters. In discussing the content, setting, and authenticity of the two Thessalonian letters, Thiselton examines the responses from leading scholars, poets, hymn writers, preachers, theologians, and biblical scholars throughout the ages. Written by a leading New Testament specialist, the result is a text that offers genuinely new and illuminating insights into the evolution of the reception of these two early epistles. 336 pages • January 2011 978-1-4051-9682-6 • HB • £70.00 / €89.90 / US$114.95 / AUD$140.00 Six Minor Prophets New Through the Centuries Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi Richard Coggins & Jin H. Han Formerly of King’s College, London, UK; New York Theological Seminary, USA The Minor Prophets (Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi) have left a mark on the entire span of the history of biblical reception disproportionate to the brevity of the books. Suggestive allusions and references turn up throughout ancient, mediaeval and modern literature, as well as in sculpture and paintings. Within the rich and complex reception history of the Prophets, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi, have a special role to play in both Jewish and Christian tradition. They are known collectively as “the last of the prophets” for after them the spirit of prophecy died out. In Jewish tradition they thus bridge the gap, as it were, between the age of prophecy and the age of the Torah. In Christian Bibles their role is different but also pivotal: located at the very end of the Old Testament the three last prophets point dramatically, in numerous familiar phrases and images, towards fulfilment in the Gospels which immediately follow them. 256 pages • April 2011 978-1-4051-7675-0 • HB • £70.00 / €89.90 / US$109.95 / AUD$110.00 Also available in the Blackwell Bible Commentaries series ...
