- Publication1 Corinthians 1-4: A Rhetorical and Social Analysis and its Evaluation from a Korean-Confucian Christian Context(2009-05-08) Kwon, Oh-YoungThis thesis investigates 1 Corinthians 1-4 and argues that a divisive culture of rhetorical and patronal elitism lies behind the schisms identified by Paul. Further, that this culture was influenced by Greco-Roman wisdom literature. Pauline critique of Roman wisdom traditions shapes a critical reflection on similar dynamics amongst 21st Century Korean Christians.

- PublicationA Body Broken for a Broken People. Divorce, Remarriage, and the Eucharist(Paulist Press, 2016) Moloney, FrankThe writings of the New Testament, without fail, indicate that the Eucharist is not a reward for the perfect, but God's gracious remedy and nourishment for the weak. The Gospels of Mark (14:17-31) and Matthew (26:20-35) locate Jesus' final meal with his disciples within a narrative "frame" that tells the audience that he breaks his body and spills his blood for them: betrayers and deniers. In a bold final move, Professor Moloney examines the New Testament's discussion of divorce, remarriage, and access to the eucharistic table. The earliest Church's accommodation of Jesus' teaching is part of our inspired Sacred Scriptures. The contemporary Church needs to question whether the current tradition concerning the divorced and remarried has not "distorted" the original revealed Tradition. Paul tells us why: "For God has called us to peace" (1 Cor 7:15).

- Publication"A Daring Synagogue Sermon?" Paul's Preaching in 2 Cor. 3:7–18(Equinox, 2012) Winter, Sean; Lyons, William John; Sandwell, IsabellaThis essay argues that Paul's treatment of Exodus 34:29–35 in 2 Corinthians 3:7–18 may well have originated in a sermon preached by Paul in his synagogue preaching. This suggestion invites a consideration of the Pauline text as an example of 'double reception' in relation to the Exodus narrative, whereby we can speak of two distinct performances: one in the synagogue and one in the epistolary context of 2 Corinthians.
- PublicationA Failure to Launch? Paul and the Philosophers of Athens (Acts 17:16–34)(Fellowship for Biblical Studies, 2021) King, FergusThe Lukan Paul’s Speech on the Areopagus is a conundrum. Lauded as a model of intercultural communication, it had little significant effect on his audience. This failure, however, may arise from Paul’s undercontextualising of his message; pitching his address at a popular level which failed to bring his Epicurean and Stoic listeners to the point at which they became convinced of his message. For, although the Lukan Paul has expressed some basic sympathies with the philosophers, notably in the rejection of bad religious practice and belief, his stress on a day of judgment and the resurrection ultimately reveals insurmountable differences in metaphysics and theodicy for members of both schools.

- PublicationA Friendly Guide to Women in the New Testament(Garratt Publishing, 2017-04) Canavan, RosemaryThis Friendly Guide introduces the reader to the multitude of women of the New Testament. All take their place in the story of Jesus and the development of the Jesus movement after the resurrection. They are mothers, daughters, sisters and wives living in the first century with all of its limitations on their participation in public life. Yet they are present, remembered and influential from Jesus’ birth, through his public ministry to his passion and death, and as first witnesses to the resurrection. This volume celebrates their contribution and hopes to inspire women and men today in their faithful service.
- PublicationA Hermeneutics of Retrieval: Breath and Earth Voice in Luke’s Magnificat—Does Earth Care for the Poor?(Fellowship for Biblical Studies, 2015-11) Elvey, AnneThis article uses the concept of “breath” as a hermeneutic key for applying the ecological hermeneutic of retrieval to suggest ways of reading the Magnificat with an ear to an Earth voice. The principle of voice, articulated by the Earth Bible Team, can be understood as a biblical principle, evident in the psalms. Much of the Second Testament, however, seems not to mention Earth directly and this raises questions concerning the application of the principle of voice. Taking the Magnificat as an example, I ask how might the interpreter retrieve an Earth voice in a text that seems oriented toward inter-human concerns for social justice? I suggest four ways in which the voice of Earth might be retrieved in this song in the mouth of a woman, Mary of Nazareth, through: i) the materiality of the text; ii) attention to the human body, especially the senses and the breath; iii) attention to the sustaining capacity of Earth in relation to poverty and riches; iv) the implicit reference to the land in the promise to the ancestors. The overall intent of the article is to situate the human question of poverty and oppression as an Earth question.
