  Render To God

  $43.33

  Neyrey here interprets eight key New Testament books, providing a fresh look at theologies in the early church and introducing readers to the diverse ways in which the New Testament writers ”render to God the things that are God’s.” He begins with two Gospels, Mark and Matthew, and moves on to the Acts of the Apostles and three of Paul’s letters (Romans, 1 Corinthians, and Galatians). He then examines the formal and precise ways in which Jesus is called God in the Gospel of John and concludes with a discussion of how Hebrews uses ”eternity” as a fundamental concept for understanding God. Using a social-science methodology, he offers a unique perspective on the biblical text.

  Honor And Shame In The Gospel Of Matthew

  $50.00

  Jerome Neyrey clarifies what praise, honor, and glory meant to Matthew and his audience. He examines the traditional literary forms for bestowing such praise and the conventional grounds for awarding honor and praise in Matthew’s world. Neyrey argues that the evangelist Matthew was trained in conventional ways, and that his writing employs as many of the genres taught in the rhetorical handbooks concerning praise. Analysis from this standpoint, supplemented with cross- cultural studies from countries that border the Mediterranean, gives new insight into the gospel’s meaning and purpose.
