I’m sure he’d be impressed with the radical renewal of understanding Pitre brings to this central Christian rite of New Passover, New Exodus, New Covenant. But of course one fancies he might be already sitting down at the Res of the Thing! (If one may excuse some forms of eschatology!)Bryden Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15619512328964399016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-81146938042261790242007-03-28T07:15:00.000-05:002007-03-28T07:15:00.000-05:00Thanks for putting this post on your blog.

It makes us think and rethink what we think the message of the whole canon is.<BR/><BR/>With respect to Dumbrell referring to the lack of NT scholarship 'underrvaluing of how OT theology of kingdom and covenant works its way through the whole Bible' we might point out that very few 'complain' that the phrase 'kingdom of God' is seldom found in the OT. This is because it is clear that the theme of the kingdom of God undergirds the OT and, indeed, the NT.<BR/><BR/>cheers,<BR/>Sujomosujomohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074021709379142093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-87695936438521116502007-03-27T20:35:00.000-05:002007-03-27T20:35:00.000-05:00Great post!

Aune and others have looked at the way the Dead Sea Community tied eschatological hopes to their common meals and rituals. In my dissertation I'm going to argue that something similar is taking place here. I've got a lot more to say on that, but I'll hold off until later. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for hosting a post by one of my favorite NT scholars. I hope Dr. Dumbrell will be around in the future. Thanks so much Dr. Dumbrell for a great post.Michael Barberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245959720626825944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-17109549161427711382007-03-26T15:39:00.000-05:002007-03-26T15:39:00.000-05:00thanks for the info on the book links. that was e...thanks for the info on the book links. that was easy enough.Halpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12395104110137219553noreply@blogger.com
