“When Paul enjoins his community to behavior appropriate to people whose actions comprise ‘a living sacrifice’ (Rom 12:1), one assumes that they internalize this metaphor, experience their choices of action in terms of the metaphor, and develop a complex of ideas around the experience. In this way, the metaphor of sacrifice, as it relates to the moral life of the community, begins to take hold, not only as an idea or a tool for understanding, but as a lived reality.” —Jane Lancaster Patterson

Keeping the Feast: Metaphors of Sacrifice in 1 Corinthians and Philippians by Jane Lancaster Patterson is $5.00 now through 14 Dec. Use code DECFLASH to purchase your copy. buff.ly/NNJ2Gsz

“While one could point to several different frame-structures at work in Paul’s resurrection ideals,62 one overarching concept gives structure to then whole. This concept centers on the figure of Christ, who stands at the fore of Paul’s thought and determines the values that Paul assigns to schematic roles.”— Frederick S. Tappenden

"The idea that a woman might reject or even just temporarily resist male sexual desire is not easy to find elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible; here, the dynamic of desire between male and female is characterized by the submission of the latter to the former.” —Danilo Verde

“Listening for these metaphors and their entailments has changed my own approach to Paul’s letters. While the letters’ interpretation requires all the expected literary tools for dealing with a text, I have come to experience them less as texts, and more as music….Certain metaphors resound long after the passage in which they occur, and their entailments weave in and out of the surrounding arguments. Attention to sacrificial metaphors as an element in the overall thematic arrangement of a letter can serve to elucidate how the letters function persuasively by lodging in the imagination, long after the last note is heard.” —Jane Lancaster Patterson

Quote: “The gospel depicts Jesus recapitulating biblical Israel, but not to present him as a new and righteous Israel to replace the old, sinful one. On the contrary, Matthew explicates that Jesus will save his people by offering his life as a ‘ransom in exchange for many’ (20:28).” —Nicholas J. Schaser

Quote: Hay cierta evidencia que permite sostener que la estela estuvo expuesta hasta después del lapso amarniano. De este modo, K2 estuvo a la vista en el templo de Amón en Karnak en un lugar que no es factible precisar, hasta el momento en que, probablemente hacian fines del reinado de Ramsés II, se tomó la decisión de incluirla en el basamento de una de sus estatuas monumentales. —Roxana Flammini

Quote: “Not only is the topic of humor generally regarded as too subjective to study across time and culture, but there is no systematic theory or approach that scholars have adopted when looking at the gospel texts themselves.

Quote: “She is remembered for her fateful act of looking back at the destruction of Sodom, but even the report of this act is full of unanswered questions. Why did she look back? Was she aware of the warning (directed only to Lot in Gen 19:17) against doing so? Should her transformation into a salt pillar be understood as a punishment? ” —Josey Bridges Snyder
