  • Approaching the Apocalypseby John M Court

    I.B.Tauris 2008; US$ 89.00

    Embracing two thousand years of intense and fiery admonition, "Approaching the Apocalypse" offers students of religion, history and politics the definitive handbook to Doomsday. Ideas about divinely-inspired disaster have an enduring place in the history of Christian thought. For centuries men and women have made preparations for the imminent... more...

  • Book of Revelation and the Johannine Apocalyptic Traditionby John M. Court

    Continuum International Publishing 2000; US$ 140.00

    This original and unusual book investigates a continuing Johannine apocalyptic tradition, represented in three strange Greek texts that are also linked to a Coptic manuscript. None of the Greek texts has been published in recent years, and they have never been published together or associated in studies of Christian apocrypha. John Court, well known... more...

  • Purpose and Cause in Pauline Exegesisby Wendy Dabourne; John Court

    Cambridge University Press 1999; US$ 46.00

    This book is about how to read Paul's letters as first-century epistles. A new method is worked out by studying Romans 1.16-4.25. The result is a presentation of Romans as a highly practical letter, in which we see justification by grace through faith as theology at work. more...

  • The Voice of Jesus in the Social Rhetoric of Jamesby Wesley Hiram Wachob; John Court

    Cambridge University Press 2000; US$ 46.00

    The Epistle of James is a rhetorical composition, a deliberative discourse in the guise of a letter. One of its most interesting features is its manipulation of Jesus' sayings to make an audience think and act in ways that have social consequence. This is a study of James' social rhetoric. more...

  • Aramaic Sources of Mark's Gospelby Maurice Casey; John Court

    Cambridge University Press 1999; US$ 50.00

    This book goes behind the Greek text of the Gospel of Mark and reconstructs some of its sources in the original Aramaic, the language which Jesus spoke. This work has been made possible by the publication of all the Aramaic Dead Sea Scrolls, which provide a basis of Jewish Aramaic for the right period. more...

  • Paul and the Crucified Christ in Antiochby S. A. Cummins; John Court

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 53.00

    This book offers an innovative interpretation of Paul's account of and reflection upon his confrontation with Peter in Antioch (Galatians 2.11-21), an event prominent in any attempt to reconstruct the emergence of the early church and the essence of Pauline theology. more...

  • The Son of Man Debateby Delbert Burkett; John Court

    Cambridge University Press 2000; US$ 37.00

    A comprehensive historical overview of the 'Son of Man' debate, tracing its development from the patristic period to the late twentieth century. It evaluates the research on the origin and meaning of the expression, used in the Gospels almost exclusively by Jesus, and summarizes the present state of the debate. more...

  • Rhetoric and Galatiansby Philip H. Kern; John Court

    Cambridge University Press 1998; US$ 39.00

    This study discusses the relationship between the epistles of Paul and classical rhetoric by focussing on recent studies of Galatians. It concludes that Paul did not write according to the conventions of oratory and that therefore the ancient handbooks can contribute little to the interpretation of his epistles. more...

  • Consolation in Philippiansby Paul A. Holloway; John Court

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 42.00

    In this rhetorical-critical study Holloway puts Paul's letter in the context of ancient theories and literary practices of 'consolation' and argues that Paul wrote to the Philippians in order to console them. more...
