Meeks offers here a selection of his most influential writings on the New Testament and early Christianity. His essays illustrate recent changes in our thinking about the early Christian movement and pose provocative questions regarding the history of this period.   Meeks explores a fascinating range of topics, from the figure of the androgyne in antiquity to the timeless matter of God’s reliability, from Paul’s ethical rhetoric to New Testament pictures of Christianity’s separation from Jewish communities. Meeks’ introduction offers a retrospective on New Testament studies of the past thirty years and explains the intersection of these studies with a variety of exploratory and revisionist movements in the humanities, embracing social theory, history, anthropology, and literature. In an epilogue the author reflects on future directions for New Testament scholarship.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50347965055249,"sku":"CIN0300091427G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51865391989009,"sku":"GOR014435239","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52430128644369,"sku":"NLS9780300091427","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300091427.jpg?v=1750941209"},{"product_id":"bible-book-wayne-a-meeks-9780060655808","title":"The Bible","description":"The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible is steadily increasing in popularity. It is highly respected among academics, including evangelicals, and popular in theological colleges, where it is preferred to the New International Version.             This edition incorporates extensive annotations and the Deuterocanonical books\/Apocrypha, making it an ideal edition for students and serious Bible readers.             The NRSV sensitively avoids gender exclusivity without any loss of accuracy or clarity, and retains the traditional style of referring to God as ‘He’ or ‘Him.’","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51311028175121,"sku":"CIN0060655801G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51311028928785,"sku":"CIN0060655801A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51311066022161,"sku":"CIN0060655801VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51311067398417,"sku":"GOR001965056","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51860145275153,"sku":"GOR002873254","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53149516497169,"sku":"GOR007219893","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0060655801.jpg?v=1751428405"},{"product_id":"prophet-king-book-wayne-a-meeks-9789004265547","title":"The Prophet-King","description":"Among modern analyses of the origin and development of John's Christology, the socio-religious analysis of Wayne A. Meeks advances one of the most compelling and suggestive theses in recent years, addressing the riddles pertaining to the puzzling presentation of Jesus as a prophet-king like Moses in John 6:14-15. Whereas the Logos motif of the Johannine Prologue and the Father-Son relationship in the Johannine narrative convey high-christological thrusts, his receptions as a rabbi, teacher, and prophet elsewhere in John's story of Jesus are far more mundane and earth bound. Was the origin and development of John's presentation of Jesus here political, historical, theological, sociological, or some combination of the like? These are the issues Wayne Meeks addresses in his first of several important monographs, and his work continues to impact New Testament studies to this day. --From the Foreword by Paul N. Anderson Critical scholarly acclaim: It is precisely this presentation of Jesus as a king and its associations with his presentation as prophet which is the central focus of Wayne Meeks' exhaustive study of the traditions concerning Moses and their influence on Johannine Christology.... Meeks finds the milieu of Johannine Christology to include a complex Jewish and Samaritan tradition, probably centered in Galilee, concerning the figure of Moses. --Robert Kysar, Bandy Professor of Preaching and New Testament Interpretation Emeritus, Candler School of Theology, Emory University Rare in scholarship is a consummate magnum opus that continues to influence the field fifty years after it was published--let alone a scholar's dissertation  Anyone who investigates the Christology of John, characterization in John, Moses in the New Testament, or the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament must engage Meeks' Prophet-King. How gratifying that new generations of biblical scholars will now have ready access to this classic work. --Jaime Clark-Soles, Professor of New Testament and Altshuler Distinguished Teaching Professor, Perkins School of Theology Wayne A. Meeks is the Woolsey Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies at Yale University. He has served as president of the Society of Biblical Literature and the Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas and is a fellow of the British Academy and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53015519068433,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53015519396113,"sku":"NIN9789004265547","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"moral-world-of-the-first-christians-book-wayne-a-meeks-9780281042913","title":"The Moral World of the First Christians","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53099302912273,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53099302977809,"sku":"GOR002330558","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780281042913.jpg?v=1770230423"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-wayne-a-meeks.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
