Abstract: The focus of the present contribution is twofold: first, to offer a source-critical analysis of the alleged relationship between Herod Antipas and Pilate in Luke 23:12; and, second, to subsequently reinterpret the role of their reconciliation within the Lucan passion narrative (v. 12a). To extend Steven Mason's compelling argument of Luke's likely dependence on Josephus, I argue that the feud between the two authorities in v. 12b may have been inspired by or inferred from Luke's engagement with Antiquities 18 and Jewish War 2. I also maintain that, while Antipas and Pilate's reconciliation (and Antipas's involvement in the passion altogether) is probably a Lucan composition without a historical nucleus, their unexpected reconciliation in v. 12a importantly underscores one of the central tenets of the Lucan passion narrative. As Luke subtly urges for his audience, it is precisely the two authorities who were hostile to one another (and who had every reason to convict Jesus if he had proven to be insurgent) who find commonality in that which Jesus's own contemporaries and religious leaders fail to see: his innocence.

Abstract: This article reexamines the contested issue of the nature of the monotheism of Second Isaiah. I approach this subject with an interdisciplinary method that compares the declarations of monotheism in Second Isaiah with those in ancient Egyptian religious texts (primarily hymns). I argue that the Egyptian material may illuminate the monotheistic declarations of Second Isaiah by setting those declarations in a cross-cultural ancient Near Eastern rhetorical context. This comparative approach reinforces the reading of the text that sees Second Isaiah's monotheism as a monotheism of perspective that exalts Yhwh above the gods of the nations, rather than as a strict ontological monotheism that altogether denies the existence of deities other than Yhwh. This article, accordingly, makes the additional case for the utility of Egyptian evidence in topics related to critical biblical scholarship.
