Even though it was written some two millennia ago, Ephesians still speaks to Christians today in themes quite familiar to the modern reader. In a context where the church had become overwhelmingly, if not exclusively, Gentile, the Christian community needed to be reminded of the priority of Israel and the astonishing work of reconciliation that God willed to accomplish in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Now available as a casebound, this volume in the highly acclaimed New Testament Library series reveals the great theological promises of Ephesians while discussing issues of context, authorship, and style.

I am especially pleased that this issue of the ATR is devoted to theological interpretation of scripture. Susannah Ticciati provides \"an exegetical-hermeneutical response, arguing against both Keller and her nemesis, Karl Barth, for the appropriateness of the doctrine as a hermeneutical rule, in the light of its ability to hold open the generative ambiguities of Genesis 1.\" Joshua Davis has a review essay covering the work of Ephraim Rådner, culminating with Radner's recent book, Time and the Word.

[In a recent document the Pontifical Biblical Commission reasoned that, based on Scripture's two natures--divine and human--the historical-critical method of interpretation is indispensable. This argument is confused. Asserting that Scripture, like the person of Jesus Christ, has two natures does not necessarily require a priority of any one kind of reading. The authors argue that several theologians in Christian history have drawn more appropriate analogies between Christ's nature and Scripture that show how a wide variety of styles of scriptural interpretation is appropriate.]

The Asaph psalms (50, 73-83) are a unity.They often call God 'Elohim' and 'El', and the people 'Joseph', as Amos does; they appeal to Israelite history, the exodus and the covenant; they are written in the face of military catastrophe.

[...] this afterword provides a response to these papers that may help people read them together. [...] in light of the contributions of these two papers, there is significant theological work to be done on the \"ascetica!\" dimension of marriage.
