New Testament
Christological Hymns
Matthew E. Gordley
Conformed to the
Image of His Son
Haley Goranson Jacob
Reading Mark’s
Christology Under Caesar
Adam Winn
Did Mark write his Gospel in
response to Roman imperial
propaganda surrounding the
destruction of Jerusalem? Adam
Winn helps us rediscover how
Mark might have been read by
Christians in Rome during the
aftermath of this cataclysmic
event. He introduces us to the
imperial propaganda of the
Flavian emperors and excavates
the Markan text for themes that
address the Roman imperial
setting.
We know that the earliest
Christians sang hymns. But
are some of these early
Christian hymns preserved
for us in the New Testament?
Matthew Gordley takes a
new look at didactic hymns in
the Greco-Roman and Jewish
world of the early church,
considering how they might
function in the New
Testament and what they
could tell us about early
Christian worship.
What does Paul mean
when in Romans 8:29 he
speaks of being “conformed
to the image of his Son”?
Is it a moral or spiritual or
sanctifying conformity to
Christ, or to his suffering,
or does it point to an escha-
tological transformation into
radiant glory? Haley Goran-
son Jacob points out that
the key lies in the meaning
of “glory” in Paul’s biblical-
theological perspective and
in how he uses the
language of glory in Romans.
