Professor Peder Borgen served with distinction on the Board of Novum Testamentum for many years, including as President from 1995 to 2008. We remain grateful for his magnificent leadership that enhanced the level of scholarship as well as the stature of both the periodical and the Supplements to Novum Testamentum. His timely explorations of Philo’s thought and relationship to the New Testament presented a significant challenge to the previously “fixed” borders between Diaspora and Palestinian Judaisms and proved important in the reframing of that “division.” Professor Borgen exhibited a rare blend of stateliness with gentleness, a demeanor slightly formal, yet laced with the warmth of friendship and collegiality that evoked confidence and esprit de corps among the whole of the Board. One of his special gifts as president was his ability to engender a sense of the common tasks and curry a consensus on how those goals could be achieved. Peder especially enjoyed meeting people from many different backgrounds and points of view and forging new friendships that proved productive in advancing knowledge and promoting scholarly publications. Peder Johan Borgen was a giant in our midst; we shall miss him dearly.

In studies of the socio-economic composition of the church in Corinth, 2 Cor 8–9 are rarely considered. However, it is precisely these chapters that are instructive, since Paul addresses the entire community with a financial need, and, in order to succeed, the economic situation of the whole community must be taken into account. In these chapters, the apostle justifies and motivates his plea with reference to the material abundance of his audience and assumes that all church members are able to participate in giving. This supports the thesis, which is widespread in recent research, that the community is not primarily made up of the lowest, but rather the middle, and perhaps upper, social classes.

LXX editor Alfred Rahlfs assumed that the scriptural citations in the NT had influenced the LXX. Text-critics of the NT have suggested that the influence primarily went in the other direction. More recent research suggests that the two textual traditions were transmitted independently of each other. This article studies harmonization by examining the relevant passages in LXX (source-text) and NT (citation) in manuscripts where both texts are extant and sometimes copied by the same scribe. Did these scribes harmonize in one direction or the other? This examination of Matthew’s unique Fulfillment Citations and their sources in the three pandects, Codices Alexandrinus, Vaticanus and Sinaiticus, suggests that these scribes have rarely harmonized the text. The result shows that Vaticanus and Sinaiticus reflect less harmonization (and more negative evidence) than Alexandrinus, whereas a specific early corrector of Sinaiticus (Ca) occasionally harmonized the LXX to the NT. This confirms that the two traditions have remained largely independent. However, in all detected cases of possible or probable harmonization, the LXX text was harmonized to the NT, which supports Rahlfs’s position.

Matthew J. Klem
Wayne Meeks argues that Philo’s presentation of Moses as king, prophet, and priest in De vita Mosis may reflect the traditions lying behind the Fourth Gospel’s depiction of Jesus as both prophet and king. This article proposes more specific parallels between the prophetic roles in De vita Mosis and the Gospel. First, the water miracle at the wedding in Cana (John 2:1–11) has substantial similarities to Philo’s rewriting of Moses’s water miracles in the wilderness (Mos. 1.181–213) that are not shared by the LXX (Exod 15, 17). Second, both the Gospel and Philo assign to the prophetic office a close proximity to the divine. Third, in both the Gospel and Philo, the prophet is a heavenly revealer who returns to the Father. Philo thus helps explain Jesus’s prophetic role in the Fourth Gospel, not simply regarding the merging of prophet with king, but also regarding the particular form that prophecy takes.

Ignatius of Antioch makes very little reference to specific texts from the Scriptures of Israel. This has been interpreted as evidence of little interest in Scripture, which, in turn has been used to plot Ignatius on a parting of the ways trajectory. The evidence for this interpretation is weak. Ignatius refers to Scripture in a way that is comparable to some Pauline letters. Furthermore, his statements about Scripture and his use of texts suggest that he differs little from the hermeneutical assumptions of apostolic Christianity.

In John 7:38, Jesus makes the proclamation ποταµοὶ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας αὐτοῦ ῥεύσουσιν ὕδατος ζῶντος. Among a variety of other issues—textual problems, ambiguous syntax, and an unclear scriptural referent—an enduring problem for translators has been the word κοιλία. Here, the author argues that the most natural meaning for κοιλία in this context is “womb.” Although governed by the masculine possessive pronoun αὐτοῦ, κοιλία’s most common NT meaning is “womb,” and a survey of Greek literature corroborates “womb” as a viable translation, and preferable to the alternatives in standard Bible translations (such as “heart,” “belly,” or “side”). Reading John 7:38’s κοιλία as “womb” is supported by the immediate context and literary background and sheds further light on the Gospel’s themes of rebirth.
在约翰·38耶稣使宣言ποταµοὶἐκτῆςκοιλίαςαὐτοῦῥεύσουσινὕδατοςζῶντος)。在各种各样的问题中——文本问题、模糊的语法和不明确的经文参考——一个长期困扰译者的问题是κοιλ末梢α这个词。在这里，作者认为，在这种情况下，κοιλ末梢α最自然的含义是“子宫”。虽然受男性所有代词α ο το ο支配，但κοιλ主控子α最常见的NT意思是“子宫”，对希腊文学的调查证实了“子宫”是一个可行的翻译，比标准圣经翻译(如“心脏”，“肚子”或“侧面”)中的替代品更可取。将《约翰福音》7:38中的κοιλ末路槲树α (κοιλ α)解读为“子宫”，得到了当时的语境和文学背景的支持，并进一步阐明了福音中关于重生的主题。
