The Significance of Salvation: A Study of Salvation Language in the Pastoral Epistles
- Author: George M. Wieland
- 324 pages
- Paternoster Press | 2006
The language and ideas of salvation pervade the three Pastoral Epistles. This study offers a close examination of their soteriological statements. In all three letters the idea of salvation is found to play a vital paraenetic role, but each also exhibits distinctive soteriological emphases. The results challenge common assumptions about the Pastoral Epistles as a corpus.
George M. Wieland is Lecturer in New Testament, Carey Baptist College and Auckland University, New Zealand.
Highly recommended to all students of New Testament theology.

Spirit and Kingdom in the Writings of Luke and Paul
- Author: Youngman Cho
- 227 pages
- Paternoster Press | 2006
Recipient of The Foundation for Pentecostal Scholarship 2007 Award of Excellence
The relationship between Spirit and Kingdom is a relatively unexplored area in Lucan and Pauline studies. This book offers a fresh perspective of two biblical writers on the subject. It explores the difference between Luke’s and Paul’s understanding of the Spirit by examining the specific question of the relationship of the concept of the Spirit to the concept of the Kingdom of God in each writer.
Youngmo Cho is Assistant Professor of New Testament Studies, Asia LIFE University, Daejon, South Korea.
There is an elegant simplicity to the argument which is commendably reinforced by its highly readable presentation.

Zion Symbolism in Hebrews: Hebrews 12:18–24 as a Hermeneutical Key to the Epistle
- Author: Kiwoong Son
- 248 pages
- Paternoster Press | 2007
This book challenges the general tendency of understanding the Epistle to the Hebrews against a Hellenistic background and suggests that the Epistle should be understood in the light of the Jewish apocalyptic tradition.
The author especially argues for the importance of the theological symbolism of Sinai and Zion (Heb. 12:18-24) as it provides the Epistle’s theological background as well as the rhetorical basis of the superiority motif of Jesus throughout the Epistle.
Kiwoong Son completed his doctorate at London School of Theology and has served as a chaplain to Korean and Asian students at Royal Holloway College, University of London, UK, before returning to South Korea. |

The Comical Doctrine: The Epistemology of New Testament Hermeneutics
- Author: Rosalind Selby
- 273 pages
- Paternoster Press | 2006
This book argues that the gospel breaks through postmodernity’s critique of truth and the referential possibilities of textuality with its gift of grace. With a rigorous, philosophical challenge to modernist and postmodernist assumptions, Selby offers an alternative epistemology to all who would still read with faith and with academic credibility.
Rosalind Selby is a lay preacher in the United Reformed Church and completed her doctorate at the University of Aberdeen, UK.
[This books displays] an impressive command of a wide range of sources.

Jesus, Revolutionary of Peace: A Nonviolent Christology in the Book of Revelation
- Author: Mark Bredin
- 260 pages
- Paternoster Press | 2004
This book aims to demonstrate that the figure of Jesus in the book of Revelation can be best understood as an active non-violent revolutionary. Jesus was a warrior of the non-violent tradition. He sought to conquer his enemies not through violence but through compassion. Seeking to present a comprehensive, balanced view of this non-violent Jesus, Mark Bredin engages with Mahatma Gandhi’s theory to explore the place of non-violence in the biblical tradition.
Mark Bredin holds an M.Theo. and Ph.D. from the University of St Andrews. |

The Genre, Composition and Hermeneutics of the Epistle of James
- Author: Luke L. Cheung
- 372 pages
- Paternoster Press | 2003
In The Genre, Composition and Hermeneutics of the Epistle of James, Luke L. Cheung examines the employment of the wisdom genre with a certain compositional structure, and the interpretation of the law through Jesus' tradition of the double love command by the author of the Epistle of James to serve his purpose in promoting perfection and warning against doubleness among the eschatologically renewed people of God in the Diaspora. In particular, he shows how the genre, composition and hermeneutics of James all contribute to the central pastoral concern of this epistle.
Luke L. Cheung holds the degrees of M.Div., M.Th. and Ph.D. He is currently Associate Professor of New Testament Studies at the China Graduate School of Theology in Hong Kong. |
