Bøger af Stephen W. Need

The Gospels Today discusses and challenges popular interpretations of familiar gospel texts and themes in view of important controversies and debates. Does it matter whether Jesus was born in Bethlehem, or that he is understood as a prophet? What do the expressions "Son of Man" and "Son of God" really mean? Throughout, Need invites readers to join scholars in the stimulating and constructive work of learning how to critique familiar interpretations of the Bible.

Paul Today discusses and challenges popular interpretations of familiar Pauline texts in view of important controversies and debates. Who was Paul? Can his attitudes towards marriage and slavery be redeemed? And what of Paul's attitude to women and their ministry, and to homosexuality? Do we appropriately attribute to Paul ideas about justification and faith? Paul Today makes constructive, critical approaches to Paul available to a wider circle of interested readers.
