Bulletin of Biblical Studies, vol. 9, July-December 1990, year 19, p. 80.
The July- December 1990 issue of the Bulletin of Biblical Studies contains four (4) articles.
P. Vassiliadis presents with great brevity Luke's supply for the mission of the church in the modern world, particularly stressing Luke's dominant eschatology that opens up new dimensions to the ecclesiological problem the christian Churches are occupied with.
Father K. Papadopoulos seeks in his short text the right interpretation of A' Kor. 7, 36-38. Thus, he investigates the meaning of the male presence in the verse and assumes as source of the opinion expressed by Paul Exod. 21, 7-11.
D. Adamo attempts an explanation of ch. 20 of John's gospel, referring mainly to the problem of the appearances of the resurrected Jesus to Mary Magdalen and the Apostles.
S. Agouridis examines the way the death of Jesus Christ is explained in the Letter to the Hebrews, in A' John and A' Peter, as well as in John's Apocalypse, as each one of these texts expresses a particular theological position and teaching on the question of why Christ died. In the addendum of his study, Agouridis describes the progress and the causes of the different ecclesiastical theories about atonement that were developed in different times in East and West while, in the end, he even proposes certain necessary adjustments so that the classical theory about atonement may find the orthodox today responsive.
The Chronicles of the text come next. I. Karavidopoulos gives an account of the proceedings of the 39th Colloquium Biblicum Lovaniese that took place in Louvain, Belgium from the 7th until the 9th of August 1990 under the topic: “John and the Synoptics”.
Following are the book reviews of the issue.
