Alternately titled The Influence of the Septuagint on the Vocabulary of the New Testament, Kennedy’s fascinating book explores the influence of language from the Old Testament to the New. Burrowing into the Hebrew and Greek translations, Kennedy demonstrates the connection between the earliest Christian writers, dependant on the Septuagint for a linguistic framework, and the language used to explain the new faith and complicated theological ideas unheard of at that time.
A comprehensive examination of the Epistles, Kennedy organizes his theological analysis around the letters of St. Paul. Divided into three sections, Paulinism, Early Christian Thought Independent of Paulinism, and the Theology of the Developing Church, Kennedy’s spirited inquiry is absorbing in its historical and Biblical acumen.
A concentrated and profound immersion into St. Paul’s eschatological standpoint, H.A. A. Kennedy examines the progression of Paul’s theological outlook and its many misunderstandings. Drawn from lectures that Kennedy gave at The University of Edinburgh, this compelling work demonstrates Paul’s conception of the Last Things, and how the importance of this understanding organized his religious thoughts.
Essential for understanding early Christianity, Philo’s history and writings prove crucial to developing a complete picture of this paramount epoch. Kennedy takes the inspiring journey through Philo’s work and conversion, letting Philo’s exaltation of God lead the way. An exciting and influential work, Kennedy’s examination of Philo is a deeply interesting quest into a substantial presence in the history of Christianity.
An in-depth study of the early growth of the Church, Kennedy’s Vital Forces charts the progression of the gospel and the men who carried forth the good news. Focusing on the relationship between early Christianity and Judaism and the Divine purpose these men felt in their mission, Kennedy’s elucidating narrative captures this monumental epoch with striking acuteness.
An invaluable book of exceptional history, H. A. A. Kennedy identifies and examines the relationship of Pauline theology and the religious cults that co-existed in the Roman Empire. A revealing exploration of the religious atmosphere Paul found himself proclaiming the Gospel in, it catalogs the various religious communities Paul visited and deciphers the beliefs and customs practiced therein.
