Bulletin of Biblical Studies, vol. 7, January-June 1988, year 17, p. 70.
The January-June 1988 issue of the Bulletin of Biblical Studies includes three (3) articles.
The text of S. Agouridis continues from the previous text. The fifth chapter of his study starts here, where he examines the narration about the tower of Babel and the interweaving of myth, history and theology in it. The epilogue of the study comes next, where the writer only superficially touches the question regarding the sense in which the nation of Israel has been the carrier and executor of the divine will.
G. Gratseas writes about the problem of IV, 5 in Plutarch’s Symposiaka, where there is reference to the Judean tactic of not eating pork meat. At the same time, however, the writer moves on to the extensions of the problem, making a historical flashback as well and a selection from the outer-judean and Judean sources, as well as in the N. T. and in texts of its time.
Father I. Skiadaresis, in the context of the issue of seeking the sources of the book of Revelation, attempts to indicate some points of dependence or deviation of the Revelation from Genesis and mainly from its first three chapters regarding the issue: Creation-history-eschata. The writer analytically examines the relationship between the thematology and typology of the two holy texts. The article continues at the next issue of the BBS.
Following are reviews of foreign books.
Finally, D. Kaimakis composes the obituary of P. Benoit.
