How artists portrayed the Bible in large canvas paintings is frequently the subject of scholarly exploration, yet the presentation of biblical texts in contemporary graphic designs has been largely ignored. In this book Amanda Dillon engages multimodal analysis, a method of semiotic discourse, to explore how visual composition, texture, color, directionality, framing, angle, representations, and interactions produce potential meanings for biblical graphic designs. Dillon focuses on the artworks of two American graphic designers—the woodcuts designed by Meinrad Craighead for the Roman Catholic Sunday Missal and Nicholas Markell’s illustrations for the worship books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America— to present the merits of multimodal analysis for biblical reception history.

What does experiencing God look like in the Gospel of John, and what questions or possibilities might such an investigation raise for our own religious experience? To work within the scope of this essay, I limit the discussion primarily to the Farewell Discourse (chs. 14–17) and address the following as it relates to experiencing God: 1) the text as revelatory; 2) the senses; 3) union with God and Jesus; 4) the divine name; 5) and the Holy Spirit. I conclude with a word about the transformation that comes from experiencing God.

This article explores the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3:1–21, highlighting the ways omissions, multivalency, and intratextual and intertextual links invite audience participation and encourage listeners to see themselves as re-generated children of God. In this way, persuaded audiences assent not just to the content of the Gospel, but to its epistemology—how it instructs them to receive and seek truth. As classical and contemporary rhetorical theories indicate, when audiences participate to create the world of the Gospel, they are more likely to be persuaded by it and to use it to craft the reality in which they live.

David Brondos
in The ParTing of the Gods: Paul and the Redefinition of Judaism, David A. Brondos aims to provide a more precise historical sketch of the relationship between earliest Christianity as represented in the letters of Paul and the Judaism(s) of the Second Temple period than is currently available. Influenced by the critical work of scholars such as E. P. Sanders and more recently Mark Nanos, Brondos supports the view that Paul remained a faithful Jew who never intended to create anything like a new religion separate from his ancestral Jewish faith. He likewise agrees that the apparent criticism of Torah observance found in several of Paul’s letters should best be interpreted against the backdrop of his advocacy for the full inclusion of gentile Christ-followers among the covenant people of God, without requiring Torah observance. On this reading, Paul had no problem whatsoever with Jewish followers of Christ remaining devoted to the full range of Torah observance.
