- Summary:
- Nine essays grace the fourth and final volume celebrating the centennial of the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome, which was founded in 1909 to keep up with Protestant scholarship and to counter the scholarship coming out of such institutions as the École Biblique in Jerusalem, which the Vatican found distastefully avant-garde. Among the topics are the role of rhetorical elaboration in the formation of Mark's passion narrative 14:43-16:8, the enigma of imperial cultic activities and Paul in Corinth, Pauline paraenesis in Romans 12 and Greek gnomic wisdom, journeys to the upper and outer regions of the world, and generic relationships in Hellenistic Judaism and early Christianity.
