Bulletin of Biblical Studies, vol. 2, December 1973, issue 6, pp. 91-182.

     The 6^th issue, December 1973, of the Bulletin of Biblical Studies contains three (3) articles.

     I. Panagopoulos examines the issue of Christology in the N.T.. First, the writer describes the problem of Christology in the N.T. and refers to the attempts made to solve it by younger biblical scientists who focused their interest on the issue of the relations between Jesus of history and Christ of faith. Afterwards, he analyses the central idea of the evangelic tradition as well as the one of the Church’s first preaching; the Church interprets and grounds genesis, the formation and historical evolution of Christology in the N.T. It is about that basic idea, which refers to the innermost and living relation of Jesus to God, meaning that Jesus talks of God as his own Father while presenting himself as his only Son. In this context does the writer examine the “first” Christology and its frame; the “christology” of the primordial preaching follows and last comes the comparison of different christological titles.

    S. Agouridis examines the meaning and the content of the term “Son of Man” in the book of Enoch. The writer first presents the contemporary biblical scientific problematic on the text and term while, continuing, he tries to analyse and explain the crucial chapters of the Parables in the book of Enoch, where the term appears. From this specific analysis comes about the fluidity in the use of the term and its meaning. The “Son of Man” in the book of Enoch means something directly related to the history of God’s people, to their suffering and future glory.  

   A. Koumantos performs a short presentation of the manuscript number 23 of the Holy Convent of Christ’s Transfiguration at Meteora, Thessalia. The text of the manuscript is titled “Apollinario’s interpretation in the Psalms”. The writer dealt with it because he thinks it contains a text unknown until then. Koumantos examines the degree to which this particular text is connected with a text that bears the same title and the same author’s name, found in the Greek Patrology of Migne, 33, 1313-1538. In this context the author presents the problems that arise from the comparison of the two texts and their relation to each other.

    The Chronicles of the journal come next. J. Dupont presents the works of the Biblical Symposium of the Colloquim Biblicum Lovaniense, which took place from the 22^nd until the 24^th of August 1973 under the topic: “Jesus and the genesis of christology”.

    S. Agouridis presents the works of the 28^th General Assembly of Studiorum Novi Testament Societas, which took place in Southampton, England from the 29^th of August until September 1^st 1973.

    The issue closes with reviews of modern Greek and foreign books.
