Jairus's Daughter and the Haemorrhaging Woman
In this work, Arie W. Zwiep examines the gospel stories of the raising of Jairus's daughter and the healing of the haemorrhaging woman (Mark 5:21-43; Matt 9:18-26; Luke 8:40-56) from a plurality of (sometimes conflicting) interpretive strategies to demonstrate the need and fruitfulness of a multi-perspectival exegetical approach. Among the various (diachronic and synchronic) methods that are being applied in this study are philological criticism, form criticism and structural analysis, tradition- and redaction criticism, orality studies and performance criticism, narrative analysis, textual criticism and the study of intertextuality. Such a comprehensive approach, it is argued, leads to an increased knowledge and a deepened understanding of the ancient texts in question and to a sharpened awareness of the applicability of current scholarly research instruments to unlock documents from the past.
Bring Them into the Land
This collection of studies honors Professor R. Steven Notley’s research, collegiality, and friendship. In this volume, scholars—including Dr. Notley’s academic peers, colleagues, and former students—engage issues gathered around the study of biblical texts within their geographical, archaeological, and linguistic contexts. Throughout his career, Professor Notley has distinguished himself as a world-renowned historical geographer and researcher of the cultural and linguistic context of the Gospels. His voice has been influential in the so-called Jerusalem School of Synoptic Research, typified by an approach to the Gospels in which their Jewish historical and social contexts are central. This basic approach has grown significantly over recent decades and now constitutes a major area of New Testament study. Additionaly, Professor Notley has spent nearly forty years introducing groups of students and scholars to the land of Israel, stressing the importance of historical geography for study of the Bible. Especially noteworthy is his extensive scholarly collaboration over several decades with both Christian and Jewish scholars.
Reading the Gospel of Mark in the Twenty-first Century

In this volume, forty-two researchers reflect on the success of the various approaches. The book can be read as a dialogue between scholars. It integrates their reflecti
Jairus’s Daughter and the Female Body in Mark
Jairus’s Daughter and the Female Body in Mark demonstrates that ubiquitous and significant depictions of children in the literature and material culture of the first century CE shaped the mindsets of the Gospel of Mark’s original audience. Through a detailed analysis of the story of Jairus’s daughter in Mark 5 and of the archaeological remains depicting female children, Janine E. Luttick reveals how ancient hearers of this story encountered an image of a female child that communicated ideas of hope to Jesus’s followers and in turn how readers today can understand the authority of Jesus, the domestic structures of early Christianity, and the suffering and loss experienced by some early Christians.
