Abstract:4Q171 (4QpPsa) is one of the most well preserved pesharim among the Dead Sea Scrolls. It features three psalms, Psalms 37, 45, and 60, but in most analyses, Psalms 45 and 60 are left out. In this article I argue that analyses of 4Q171 should take the entire pesher into consideration. Proceeding from an overview and outline of the main parts, I provide an analysis of the contents and argue that clear overlaps are found among all three psalms, and that their nature points to a shared theme. I suggest that frag. 13, which contains Ps 60:8–9 and a commentary, would fit well either in the damaged col. 1, lines 5–10, before Psalm 37, or, perhaps better, at the end of a second sheet, while frags. 11–12 probably provided the first part of a fifth column. Ultimately, and although the material reconstruction will remain hypothetical, I show that the three psalms have been carefully selected to speak to the needs of the contemporary situation through a vision of an eschatological return to the land.

Abstract:At least since the time of Hilary of Poitiers, the “the birds of heaven” in Matthew’s parable of the mustard seed (13:31–32) were identified with the gentiles. In recent years, however, this identification has rightly been questioned on a variety of grounds. In this article, I offer a reconsideration of the evidence and argue that, when the parable’s scriptural references are recognized as a “composite allusion,” it is extremely likely that “the birds of heaven” should be understood as a metaphor for gentiles in the Synoptic versions of the parable.

Abstract:In 2 Cor 10:10 Paul cites a criticism in Corinth concerning his “weak” bodily presence. This accusation is generally interpreted non-somatically, as a denigration of Paul’s personality or deportment. In this article, I will situate this criticism against the material and cultural backdrop of agonistic festivals in Roman Achaia, and the Isthmian Games in particular, in order to localize this complaint in its first-century setting. This will result in an interpretation that recognizes the charge as one of somatic, bodily inferiority. After evaluating the non-somatic interpretation, I will focus attention on demonstrating the intersection of material culture and exegesis through a reconstruction of the cityscape of Roman Corinth—its monuments, statuary, and inscriptions. Revisualizing Corinth’s urban landscape will embed the complaint of Paul’s poor physical appearance more tangibly in the agonistic milieu of first-century Corinth, one of the premier venues of athletic competition in the ancient world. This reconstruction will also attempt to capture the agonistic ethos of the city through literary sources that represent firsthand descriptions of vibrant centers of athleticism in antiquity. Finally, I will locate this project within the larger theoretical framework known as “the material turn” in religious studies. This will foreground the importance of materiality and visual culture in shaping beliefs and will help to explain the harsh evaluation of Paul’s physicality by denizens of a world-class athletic center like Corinth.
