This is the first Biblical Studies Carnival I have ever hosted. I have learnt a great deal from the experience and hope that you enjoy reading the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old Testament<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Scot McKnight<\/a> has an interesting discussion of how Christian theologians in the 1800s used the idea of “Pre-Adamites” and points out some of the motivations behind the various theories adopted. Guy Waters<\/a> considers whether it is essential that Adam be understood as being a historical person and concludes in the affirmative.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Claude Mariottini<\/a> analyses Richard E. Averbeck’s fascinating essay \u201cBreath, wind, spirit and the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament\u201d. Brian Collins considers the significance of “land” in Genesis 8 and 9 (here <\/a>| here<\/a>). Craig Keener has a three-part series on the Conquest entitled “Slaughtering the Canaanites” (Part 1<\/a> | Part 2<\/a> | Part 3<\/a>). Rusty Osborne<\/a> has a helpful study on the correct translation of “Asherah”. Rick Sumner<\/a> has a discussion about the enduring value of Samuel Sandmel’s paper on “Parallelomania”. I found it interesting that he reaches the same conclusion as I did<\/a> when I uploaded the article to the Web in 2008. Peter Mead<\/a> offers an overview of Psalm 46 and some of the reactions it can evoke.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

David deSilva\u00a0has put the first of his videos produced for on-line courses at Ashland Theological Seminary on YouTube – this one on an introduction to the Septuagint (HT: Clifford Kvidahl)<\/span>. Larry Hurtado<\/a> offers some scholarly resources of the LXX. The possible end of Aramaic is a living spoken language is discussed by Claude Mariottini<\/a>, who\u00a0also considers possible references to elephants in the Old Testament<\/a>\u00a0as he celebrates nine years of biblioblogging<\/a> this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dead Sea Scrolls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jim Davila<\/a> notes the launch of a website defending the controversial conclusions of John Allegro on the Scrolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Testament<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jacob Cerone has produced interesting studies on the Greek text of the Gospel of Mark (9:19<\/a> | 10:13<\/a>), while Michael Bird notes both a recent article on Mark’s possible provenance<\/a> and Paula Gooder’s defence<\/a> of the historicity of the Gospels. Craig Keener<\/a> contrasts the feast of Herod and the meal Jesus provided for his followers (Matthew 14:1-21). James Crossley (here<\/a> | here<\/a>), Chris Keith (here<\/a> | here<\/a>) and Michael Bird<\/a> interact over the criteria of authenticity and – specifically- the historicity of John’s Gospel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phillippians (apparently “Bible-book of the month”)  is covered by Lynn Cohick in a video series (Part 1 | Part 2<\/a> | Part 3<\/a> | Part 4<\/a> | Part 5<\/a>) (Thanks to Jeremy Bouma for posting the links.) Phil Long continues his insightful exposition of Philippians on Reading Acts: 3:1-3<\/a>, 3:4-6<\/a>, 3:7-11<\/a>, 3:12-17<\/a>, 4:1-3<\/a>, 4:4-7<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the light of current events in and around Israel, Ian Paul tackles the notoriously complex issue of Israel’s future in the land (Part 1<\/a> | Part 2<\/a>) and concludes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Because of all this, I do not believe that, remarkable though it is, the establishment of the State of Israel in 1947 is a \u2018fulfilment\u2019 of \u2018end times\u2019 \u2018prophecies.\u2019<\/b> Neither do I believe that Israel has a divine right to the land which trumps all other rights. I do <\/i>want to defend the right of Israel to exist, and to be a particular homeland for Jews around the world, and to use reasonable <\/i>force to defend itself\u2014like any other nations. But I do this on grounds other than \u2018divine right\u2019 or \u2018prophecy.\u2019 [emphasis in original]<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Donald Hagner shares his recollections of NT scholar George Eldon Ladd who clearly had a lasting influence on his students (Part 1<\/a> | Part 2<\/a>). Wayne Coppins<\/a> shares an insight into German NT scholarship with a post on Benjamin Schliesser and the Cosmic Interpretation of pistis<\/em> in Gal 3.23, 25.<\/p>\n\n\n

Kay B<\/span>onikowsky<\/a> looks at the chiastic structure of Ephesians 5:21-33 and provides this superb illustration (right).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew R. Malcolm has a couple of posts on the alleged dynastic conflict between the family of Annas and the family and followers of Jesus, which he considers worthy of scholarly consideration (see here<\/a> and here<\/a>). D. Miller looks at what Luke says (or does not say about the observance of the law in Luke-Acts (here<\/a> & here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also worth mentioning is Matthew D. Montonini’s<\/a> brief run-down of forthcoming New Testament commentaries and Brian Small’s collation<\/a> of book reviews of commentaries on the letter to the Hebrews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Textual Criticism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On Evangelical Textual Criticism<\/a> Peter Gurry provides a detailed report on the fifth Summer School of Greek Palaeography in Oxford. Larry Hurtado<\/a> offers a summary of his recent article  \u201cGod or Jesus? Textual Ambiguity and Textual Variants in Acts of the Apostles,\u201d [in the multi-author volume, Texts and Traditions: Essays in Honour of J. Keith Elliott<\/i>, edited by Peter Doble and Jeffrey Kloha (Leiden\/Boston: Brill, 2014), pp. 239-54.)].<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Hurtado also announces the publication<\/a> of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

W. Andrew Smith, A Study of the Gospels in Codex Alexandrinus: Codicology, Palaeography, and Scribal Hands<\/i> (Leiden: Brill, 2014).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

and goes on to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The book focuses on the Gospels, but also addresses wider questions of codicology (i.e., the physical features of the codex itself). Smith then probes with considerable expertise the scribal hands (he argues for more than one scribe), and marginalia, and various other matters. The result is surely the most detailed study of Codex Alexandrinus in many years, and a ground-breaking study of the Gospels in this manuscript in particular.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Biblical Languages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jeremy Bouma<\/a> presents five good reasons why learning biblical languages is still important and Jim West<\/a> extends an invitation to those wanting to learn Hebrew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biblical Archaeology<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The discovery of a pre-70AD coin-hoard near the site of the new Jerusalem-Tev-Aviv Highway is noted by George Athas<\/a>, Bible Places<\/a>, Ferrell Jenkins<\/a>, John Byron<\/a>, Jim Davila<\/a>, The Sacred Page<\/a> and Claude Mariottoni<\/a>, making it the “most commented on” archaeological discovery in August. Michael J. Caba’s<\/a> “artefact of the the month” is the Esarhaddon Stela.  Larry Hurtado<\/a> records the results of the excavations at the site of a Roman Fort in Binchester, Co. Durham that demonstrate the presence of Christians there and Ferrell Jenkins<\/a> reports the “awl-inspiring” tale of the oldest metal object found to date in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bible Places covers the Siege of Lachish Wall Relief<\/a>, the discovery of a board game in the ruins of the ancient city of Gezer<\/a>, the use of drones<\/a> in archaeology surveys and 3D scanners<\/a> to examine ancient pottery. The blog also has helpful weekly summaries of activity in the field of biblical archaeology (here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack Sasson’s elevation to an honorary council member of the International Association for Assyriology is recorded by Jim Davila<\/a>. Peter Leithart<\/a> has a post on how the story of Noah’s Flood is depicted on 3rd Century AD coinage and Matthew R. Malcolm<\/a> ponders the significance of a 2nd Century AD letter square from Smyna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claude Mariottoni has an excellent post on the significance of Hezekiah’s Seal<\/a> and the discovery of a Canaanite wine cellar at Tel Kabri<\/a> also catches both his attention and that of Jim Davila<\/a>. arenmaeir<\/a> reports on the discovery of a new seal found at the site of ancient Gath. Also worth mentioning here is Jim West’s <\/a>link to the archive of BBC Radio 4 series In Our Time<\/em> which deal with Ancient Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inerrancy<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"Inerrancy:<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The inerrancy debate continues with John Byron<\/a> re-posting the results of the latest US Gallop poll on the Bible’s historical accuracy. Scot McKnight<\/a> provides a review of Inerrancy: Five Views<\/i> dealing with objections<\/a>. He writes in a later post<\/a> that he thinks that inerrancy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

…is a disruptive child in the theological classroom. He or she gets all the attention of teacher and students. A biblical view of inerrancy demotes it under the word true, all as part of God\u2019s choice to communicate efficiently and sufficiently. When the word \u201ctrue\u201d governs the game it\u2019s a brand new, healthy game. Good teachers know how to handle disruptive children.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Michael Bird<\/a> responds to McKnight’s critique<\/a> of his section of the book and has some general thoughts to add here<\/a>. Chris Tilling<\/a> takes issue (well, 17 issues to be exact) with Albert Mohler’s contribution to the same volume. Michael Bird<\/a> commends two recent articles by Armin Baum on inerrancy and canonicity.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Greg Beale<\/a> contributes the first of what is to be a series of responses to Peter Enns’s “Aha” Moments. Christopher Skinner offers his take on the new series here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
