One of the most important sets of texts for the church is the Passion narrative. A question of particular interest is the message behind Jesus’s words upon the cross: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” By considering the shape and theology of Ps 22 as a lament, the reader becomes aware of the parallels between this psalm and Jesus’s crucifixion. These shared theological arcs give an intimate look into the death of Jesus and following his example. If disciples of Jesus are called to take up their crosses, the implication is that the theology of lament must be part of this embodied call. Thus, a proper understanding of the interaction of these two texts creates an ethic of lament resulting in a more holistic discipleship.

C. Hartin
Taking seriously the reality that theological interpretation of Scripture is not a monolithic enterprise but rather a varied discussion, this paper outlines two historical contributions to the theological reading of Scripture in the Victorian Church of England. By examining the way Richard Chenevix Trench and John Keble interpret the parable of the good Samaritan, this essay shows that though both figures interpret Scripture in order to understand what it says about God, they diverge in their approach over questions of providence and ecclesial authority. The paper argues that for Trench, providence expands the scope of Scripture’s meaning but for Keble it leads to specific interpretive outcomes. Essentially, while Trench sees Scripture to be the product of divine providence, Keble sees providence to have shaped the consensus of the early Church.

This article argues that the Gemeindegesetz’s exclusion of Ammonites and Ammonites from the qahal-YHWH, like its inclusion of Edomites and Egyptians, is not based on ethnobiology or essentialist ethnicity. It draws on social identity and stereotyping theory to explore the text’s characterization of these different groups, and proposes that the salience of moral-behavioral features subordinates but does not efface ethnic and other factors. This interpretation is also integrated with approaches to identity for Israelites and non-Israelites elsewhere in Deuteronomy.

This study of Jesus’ healing of the centurion’s servant (Matthew 8:5–13) draws attention to some neglected Christological details. This study offers a fresh explanation of how Matthew uses ambiguity and clarity about who Jesus is in various levels of narrative context. Specifically, Matthew’s characterization of the centurion uses the ambiguous title of ‘Lord’ alongside clear actions of faith to reveal Jesus’ identity. This study concludes that Jesus participates in the identity of Yahweh, who has absolute and divine power to command his army of angels to heal people and remove demons, even without his presence.

The modern missions movement’s relationship with colonialism has brought to light many problems with contemporary conceptions of Christian mission. For many, the Bible often becomes, in the words of Tinyiko Sam Maluleke, the “colonial text par excellence.” This paper seeks to highlight – in dialogue with postcolonial critics – how 1 Pet 2:9–17 can instead provide the foundation for a theology of mission relevant to the contemporary context. First Peter distinctively anchors Christian mission in one’s Christian identity and clarifies how that identity transforms one’s relationship to one’s culture as well as to power structures in that culture. In doing so, 1 Peter eschews a triumphalist attitude and instead embodies values shared by theorists of postcolonial mission, namely narrativity, mutuality, and humility.
近代传教运动与殖民主义的关系揭示了当代基督教传教观念的诸多问题。对许多人来说，用Tinyiko Sam Maluleke的话来说，《圣经》经常成为“卓越的殖民文本”。本文试图在与后殖民评论家的对话中强调，Pet 1 2:9-17如何为与当代背景相关的使命神学奠定基础。首先，彼得将基督教使命独特地锚定在一个人的基督教身份中，并阐明了这种身份如何改变一个人与自己的文化以及与该文化中的权力结构的关系。在这样做的过程中，1彼得避开了必胜主义的态度，而是体现了后殖民使命理论家的共同价值观，即叙事性、相互性和谦逊。
