Tamar’s Legacy: The Early Reception of Genesis 38

The story of Tamar and Judah is one of the Torah’s more morally complicated narratives. As such, interpreters throughout history, but specifically early Jewish interpreters, grappled with how to relay this story in their translations of the Hebrew Bible. Using the theories and methods of reception history, this study demonstrates how the translations these early interpreters produced shed light on the dynamic relationship between a text and those who interpret it. Examining both the Greek Septuagint and Aramaic Targumim, the study identifies places in the translations where hints of the socio-historical position and theological commitments of the translators and their communities are woven into the Greek and Aramaic versions of the text

The Spirituality of Faith in the Gospel of Matthew (Chapter in Matthew and Mark Across Perspectives)

Excerpt: In this essay, I wish to pay respect to Dr. Barton\u27s important contribution to the theological study of the Gospels by looking at the Gospel of Matthew with a similar interest in the First Gospel\u27s spirituality. In his chapter on Matthew, Barton rightly notes Matthew\u27s interest in discipleship, righteousness, purity/integrity, and radical love. To this we will add Matthew\u27s interest in \u27faith\u27. In the study of the Synoptic Gospels in particular, despite the ubiquity of the language of faith, there has been little study of this subject. When it comes to the spirituality of the Gospels, though, there can hardly be a more important concept related to the human response to God than faith
