Prolific scholars Flesher and Chilton guide readers in understanding the development of the targums; their relationship to the Hebrew Bible; their dates, language, and place in the history of Christianity and Judaism; and their theologies and methods of interpretation.

The remarkable and early agreement that Jews and non-Jews could be included in the same movement by baptism established a radical principle of inclusion. The book of Acts does clearly reflect his perspective in regard to both circumcision, and the issue of purity, the two principal matters of concern in Galatians. The second item on the agenda is settled on James' authority, not Peter's, and the outcome is not in line with Paul's thought. The personal model of James as bishop was evidently sufficient to elevate that office above other possible contenders for what was to be the predominant authority within the church by the end of the first century. Keywords: baptism; circumcision; Gospels; James; Paul; Peter

Les références critiques de la littérature rabbinique n’ont fait que confirmer cette tendance – à tort, comme nous le verrons. Notre tâche ici est premièrement, d’expliquer comment une forte tradition académique – poussée par son intérêt sur la virginité de Marie – s’est appropriée certaines références rabbiniques, et deuxièmement, de nous concentrer sur la question de la culture contextuelle de Mt 1.18 que la littérature rabbinique peut nous aider à comprendre et cela dans une nouvelle perspective.

On the other hand, he embraced the characterization "David's son", with its overtones of Solomonic wisdom and especially of exorcistic and therapeutic skill. The question itself represents Jesus' attempt to evade the charge that he had messianic pretensions. His reputation as "David's son", however, and his activity in the Temple, made it impossible for him long to forestall the coalition of opponents who believed that he had such pretensions and that they were dangerous.

That book has proved to be the touchstone for subsequent studies of the subject, and the cornerstone of David Daube’s contribution to our understanding of the New Testament. The significance of his contribution would be difficult to exaggerate; W.D. Davies accurately asserts in the &dquo;Foreword&dquo; to Donum Gentilicium that Daube has &dquo;helped us to grapple more seriously with the Semitic substructure of the New Testament and to bring about a silent revolution in the study of it&dquo;.

En un contexto de marcado analfabetismo, la practica en una aldea como Nazaret se basaba en la tradicion oral, y el contacto con el templo de Jerusalen, un inmenso edificio situado a mas de un centenar de kilometros a pie, era raro y caro. El templo era oficiado por sacerdotes liderados por un sumo sacerdote y que sacrificaban al Dios de Israel. Solo se les permitia hacer eso, y su sacerdocio era hereditario. En cambio, en la aldea, un maestro, conocido como rabi, ejercia como autoridad gracias a sus conocimientos de las festividades religiosas, las practicas dieteticas y su capacidad para determinar quien no estaba en condiciones de unirse a la comunidad. Los banquetes en las aldeas, comidas comunales en las que Dios era presentado como el rey de su gente, simbolizaban la devocion rural judia de lo que los practicantes llamaban “el Reino de Dios”.

Une source petrinienne depeignait la puissance de l’Esprit de Dieu dans le bapteme et la guerison ; la source de Marie Madeleine decrivait des rites d’exorcisme et d’onction ; la source barnabeenne mettait l’accent sur le role du pardon dans l’activite de Jesus et sur les consequences qui en resultaient en matiere d’exceptions aux regles usuelles de purete ; la source «Q » se focalisait sur la mission des disciples en direction d’Israel ; la source jacobeenne presentait des traditions mettant en valeur l’autorite de Jacques et celle de ses disciples en tant qu’interpretes du message de Jesus. Marc se revele non pas un redacteur de second ordre mais un brillant compositeur qui, par l’orchestration christologique de themes anterieurs, a coordonne ses sources au moyen d’une perspective theologique coherente.
