A “return to the sources,” signaled in one of many ways by the publication of The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture, is the thread that connects many of the selections in this category: texts that influenced or were the offspring of the Bible (Charlesworth’s The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha and Hennecke’s The New Testament Apocrypha) and selections of patristic, as well as modern, exegesis.

In The Reality of the Resurrection Stefan Alkier bridges the chasm between history and theology. Through a patient historical, canonical, and hermeneutical study, Alkier demonstrates that the resurrection of Jesus is inextricably bound to the general eschatological resurrection of the dead. Jesus' resurrection is no isolated miracle but is instead the crucial disclosure of the nature of reality, the identity of God, and the destiny of human beings. Interpretation of Jesus' resurrection is thus necessarily and unavoidably both historical and theological.Through a descriptive exegetical survey o... View More...
This study of Paul's missionary work focuses not on the apostle's doctrine or character but on the method by which he accomplished his task. Throughout, Allen compares Paul's methods to modern missionary methods; he concludes by suggesting some ways the apostolic method might be usefully employed today.
Roland Allen discusses how to conducts successful missions, comparing his own church's methods with the historical descriptions of the famous missionary of yore, St. Paul. Comprehensive and instructional, this book seeks to show the interested reader how an effective Christian mission is planned and undertaken. Practical elements include the selection of a location, and an evaluation of the social and moral condition of the local area. The author attempts to draw comparisons with St. Paul's own circumstances; the world is shown to have moved on in many respects, with conditions such as slaver... View More...

Allison's recent contribution to critical historical Jesus studies rehabilitates the eschatological picture of Jesus, proposed most prominently by Albert Schweitzer in his epochal Quest for the Historical Jesus. Make no mistake: this is not an evangelical apologetic in the garb of critical scholarship, and those who radically question the presuppositions and purposes of critical scholarship will probably not be edified. But Allison does examine in detail the methodology and conclusions of the Jesus Seminar, and finds them wanting. An important contribution, and a corrective to the sensationali... View More...

Informally presents and evaluates complex--sometimes troubling--issues in scholarly discussion of Jesus Christ. -Whatever one makes of these pages, they are the stammerings neither of an apologist nor of a skeptic but instead of an oft-confused Protestant who has come to his conclusions, modest as they are, quite gradually, and who may alter his uncertain mind about much tomorrow. Of two things only do I feel assured. The first is that, as unchanging things do not grow -- rocks remain rocks -- informed changes of mind should be welcomed, not feared. The second is this: the unexamined Christ i... View More...
