Two new articles in
#TyndaleBulletin
this week:

1. The Perfect Law of Liberty on Poverty and Wealth: A Precursor to Paul? – Craig Blomberg. He argues that whilst some scholars pit James against Paul regarding poverty and wealth, they demonstrate striking similarities; James’s teaching could plausibly even be a source for Paul’s commitments in this area.

2. John’s #Baptism as a Symbolic Enactment of the Return from #Exile – Joel White (Professor of New Testament; Freie Theologische Hochschule Gießen). Joel argues that John’s baptism in the Jordan was innovative, rather than reflecting pre-existing rituals, and that he intended it as a symbolic depiction of return from exile.
