This article examines the role of the performance of frankness in the work of Philo of Alexandria and in the book of Acts. With respect to Philo, the differences are highlighted in the use of παρρησία between the various series of his writings. With respect to Acts, the role of scripture is emphasized in authorizing the frankness of the disciples. Comparing both, it is argued that the performance of frankness functions as a means to display inner freedom for Jews in the Roman Empire (for Philo) and for Christians within Jewish synagogues in the Roman Empire (for Acts), a freedom that consists of a sense of dignity and status. The comparison demonstrates the extent to which Philo and the book of Acts participate in a shared Roman discourse from Jewish perspectives.

These two volumes on Acts are part of the New Covenant Commentary Series (NCCS), which are designed for ministers and students and represent an international cast of contributors. These two volumes are by two Korean scholars from different theological backgrounds. Both volumes follow a similar structure. First, the authors offer their explanation of the text but not in the typical verse-by-verse commentary style. The authors demonstrate a more general and diverse approach, analysing key themes and ideas, covering major events happening in Acts, sometimes focusing on certain passages, phrases and words to make specific points. They engage with many Western scholars and major academic publications and journals. Second, the authors provide occasional reflections on how the text impacts and shapes the identity and mission of the church today. The character and content of these reflections differ. Cho’s reflections in the first volume are about divine–human encounter. They carry spiritual implications, for example, about being filled with the divine power (p. 72), miraculous intervention of God in human affairs (p. 83), on God’s divine grace at work (p. 121), suffering and being obedient to the Spirit (p. 168). Park reflects in the second volume on the sense of the community, for example, the Church’s growth and development (p. 12), its unity and encouragement (p. 54), inclusiveness and absoluteness (p. 100), on the community being adjustable, vision-oriented, prayerful, etc. The first volume is preceded by an introduction that deals with typical preliminary matters. Both volumes engage with various historical, theological and compositional questions in relation to Acts, although they are not systematic or comprehensive. They are easy to follow and will be accessible to a variety of readers. I think that application sections will be of special interests to practitioners and to a wider audience in general.

B. Ehrman, C. Evans
This collection of 18 essays ranges across a wide variety of topics relating to the work and interests of the well-known American apologist; there is philosophical and methodo-logical discussion, e.g., on miracles and history; also, historical and biblical articles, e.g., Craig Evans returning to the question of first-century burials and an interesting discussion by Beth Sheppard on purity and sacrifice in John’s gospel, including a note on the water and blood coming from the side of Jesus. There are articles on topics rarely con-sidered by NT scholars, both on developments in Turin Shroud research by the Jewish head of the Shroud Research Project and also on near-death experiences, including one by Dale Allison. And there are articles rehearsing arguments for the historicity of the resurrection, including Habermas’s favoured ‘Minimal Facts’ argument and one on Paul as a key witness.

Gary W. Burnett
This is a short commentary by theologian Michael Allen, part of Brazos’s Theological Commentary on the Bible series. The series is founded on the idea that ‘dogma clarifies rather than obscures’ and non-biblical scholars have been deliberately chosen as authors because ‘war is too important to leave to the generals’. This approach is evident in Allen’s thorough-going Reformed theological approach to Ephesians where there are a limited number of engagements with biblical scholarship. I confess I did find it a little strange reading a discussion of an ancient text with little interaction with the social setting of the letter in the first century, notwithstanding the letter’s general nature. Allen seeks to interpret the letter within its canonical context and ‘within the communion of the saints’, and, to be sure, there are various interesting discussions along the way of historical interpretations of the text and theology. The commentary dives straight into the text, without any of the usual introductory background material and proceeds by discussing small blocks of text in six chapters, one for each chapter of the letter. Although the commentary is aimed at pastors, preachers and a general Christian readership, the writing style does not make for easy reading – phrases like ‘missive into ecclesiastical calm’, ‘prudence in divine pedagogy’ and ‘our present yearnings must be transfigured’ are rather typical of the author’s mode of expression. The difficulties of untangling Paul’s long sentences in his letter are perhaps not best served by this.

Garrick V. Allen, E. Epp
This ambitious first book proposes a new method for analysing the transmission of the text of the Pauline corpus as it is preserved in manuscripts copied up to and including the fifth century. The method is devised to measure the ‘uniformity’ of the text during this period and to identify where variation exists within the tradition. Stevens’s ultimate goal is to argue for the consistency of the Pauline corpus in this period. To do so, he adopts the units and rank scale of systemic functional linguistics (SFL) as the basis for delineating variation. Although not designed to reconstruct an Ausgangstext, this approach offers a new framework for comparing texts, even though his evaluation of witnesses using SFL is applied in such a way that a high level of agreement is bound to be found within the corpus. For example, he omits differences in spelling, prepositions, articles, particles, word order and conjunctions from his calculations because they are the result of scribal error, not different lines of transmission. The relationship between scribal activity and textual transmission is not as nuanced as it could have been. Overall, the book makes a novel contribution to the discussion by providing a new vantage point from which to compare texts and a new approach for delineating variants. However, in addition to the issues with the weighted percentages of agreement, the book is highly polemical, critiquing the entire spectrum of modern text-critical approaches as insufficient. Proposing new methods is always positive, but these new approaches need not compete with existing models that may ultimately have different critical goals.

Pastoral Epistles
Abraham Kuruvilla’s Theological Commentary for Preachers is one in a series. His introduction explains that the goal of preaching is bringing ‘to bear divine guidelines for life from the biblical text upon the situations of the congregation, to align the community of God to the will of God for the glory of God’ (p. 1). He focuses on modern application, taking preachers from ‘text to praxis’ (text to theology to application). Pastoral issues predominate over academic interests. The commentary has 18 pericopes (segments of scripture for individual sermons) as chapters. Sub-headings include ‘Review, Summary, Preview’, ‘Overview’, ‘Translation’, ‘Notes’ and suggested ‘Sermon Maps’. There are engaging references to cultural, historical and rhetorical features while drawing on biblical scholars. A conclusion reiterates his goal of helping preachers ‘move safely, accurately and effectively across the gulf between ancient text and modern audience ...’ (p. 231) so, aided by the Holy Spirit, preachers become pastoral agents. His blog (www. homiletix.com) offers as a download a free sample chapter! Kuruvilla’s commentary is commendable in its aim of equipping preachers to speak accurately from the ancient text to people in the pews, providing both understanding and application. He rightly states that congregations need more than academic accounts – application is essential. Sermon Maps show flexibility in offering two possible preaching maps. I particularly liked his clear lists and figures showing chiastic structures in the Greek (also usefully transliterated). I have enjoyed using his commentary in a Bible study group and seen how chiastic structures provide a deeper understanding of the scriptures. Highly recommended!

The editor’s purpose is ‘to display discourse-analytical methods in order to show the possibilities and drawbacks of each method’ (p. ix) and for the analysis of each NT document in this book to ‘help the reader understand that writing as a holistic unit rather than a “string of pearls”’. Also, the editor hopes ‘that pastors will consult this book profitably’ (p. x). Admitting the difficulty of settling a definition, Scacewater says that Discourse Analysis involves the study of ‘(1) language beyond the level of sentence; (2) language use; and (3) the social and interpersonal aspects of communication’ (pp. 2-3). The bulk of the Introduction (pp. 1-30) sets out what can be taken as the topics involved in Discourse Analysis: context, semantics and pragmatics; cohesion; coherence; global patterns; coherence relations; pragmatic features of coherence; macrostructures and the representation of discourse; and prominence and peak. The remainder of the book comprises a chapter on each of the NT documents; the Pastoral Epistles are treated together as are the Johannine ones. The essays by Robert E. Longacre on Mark and by David L. Allen on Philemon have been previously published. In any collection of essays contributions will stand out. In this set, Cynthia Long Westfall, rightly taking Discourse Analysis as an approach rather than a method, provides a strong essay on Hebrews, as does Christopher J. Fresch on 2 Peter. Taken together, the essays provide helpful examples of the use of Discourse Analysis. It is unfortunate that no indexes are provided.
编辑的目的是“展示话语分析方法，以显示每种方法的可能性和缺点”（第九页），并对本书中的每一篇NT文档进行分析，以“帮助读者理解写作是一个整体单元，而不是“一串珍珠””。此外，编辑希望“牧师们能从中受益”（第x页）。Scacewater承认确定定义的困难，他说语篇分析涉及到“（1）超越句子层面的语言研究；（2） 语言使用；以及（3）交流的社会和人际方面（第2-3页）。引言的大部分内容（第1-30页）阐述了话语分析所涉及的主题：语境、语义和语用学；凝聚性连贯性；全球格局；连贯关系；连贯的语用特征；宏观结构与话语表征；以及突出和顶峰。该书的其余部分包括关于NT文件的每一章；牧师书信和约翰书信一样被放在一起处理。Robert E.Longacre关于Mark的文章和David L.Allen关于Philemon的文章此前已出版。在任何一本散文集中，投稿都会脱颖而出。在这一集中，辛西娅·朗·韦斯特福尔（Cynthia Long Westfall）正确地将话语分析作为一种方法而不是一种方法，提供了一篇关于希伯来人的强有力的文章，克里斯托弗·弗雷什（Christopher J.Fresch）在《彼得后书》（2 Peter）中也是如此。总之，这些文章提供了使用语篇分析的有益例子。遗憾的是，没有提供索引。
