Description
A number of distinguished biblical scholars and theologians come together in this volume to honour the work of Andrew T. Lincoln. “Conception, Reception, and the Spirit” reflects Andrew Lincoln's lifelong interest in Christian origins, the reception of biblical texts in believing and scholarly communities, and the embodiment of the Gospel in believing communities made possible by the Spirit. Here, scholars converse with Lincoln's work, engaging with his monographs, “Born of a Virgin?” and “Truth on Trial”.
These essays examine a wide range of topics such as N.T. Wright's exploration of demonic politics in John and the significance of wine to the Holy Spirit in Ephesians by Lloyd K. Pietersen. These theological interpretations go so far as to question the foundations that make New Testament theology what it is today, with experts like Loveday Alexander and John Goldingay confronting sexuality, spirituality, ethics and memory in Lincoln's work with sensitivity and nuance.
J. Gordon McConville is Professor of Old Testament Theology at the University of Gloucestershire. He is the author of several books, including “God and Earthly Power”.
Lloyd K. Pietersen is Visiting Research Fellow at Newman University and author of “The Polemic of the Pastorals”.
“All the essays in this fine collection pick up and develop ideas inspired by Andrew Lincoln's extensive work, and comprise sensitive exegetical studies, reflective theological interpretation, and embodied theology. The sheer range of topics, not to mention the calibre of contributors, make this a fitting tribute to one of the most highly esteemed New Testament scholars of his generation.” HELEN K. BOND, School Director of Research, Director of the Centre for Christian Origins, Senior Lecturer in New Testament, School of Divinity, New College, Edinburgh.
