Images of the human being in the Bible are multifaceted; biblical scholars today try to understand such texts from different perspectives, often depending on their confessional, regional and cultural backgrounds. The volume presents papers given at a conference of “western” (Protestant and Roman-Catholic) and eastern orthodox exegetes in Romania.
This collection of essays presents the papers given at the Eighth International Orthodox-Western Symposium of New Testament Scholars in the Caraiman Monastery (Romania). The symposium was a project of the Eastern Europe Liaison Committee (EELC) of Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas. Main subject matters of the volume are images and stories of the human being according to the New Testament and church tradition. All topics are discussed from a “western” (Protestant and Roman-Catholic) exegetical perspective as well as from an eastern orthodox point of view. In addition, several seminar papers deal with anthropological texts and conceptions in Paul, the synoptic Gospels, and John as well as with Philo and extra-canonical writings. A particular section presents reports on biblical scholarship in Romania, past and present.
