JENS, W., and B. SEIDENSTICKER, (eds.), Ferne und Nähe der Antike. De Gruyter, Berlin / New York, 2003. IX,287p. Paperback. Nice copy. Das Klassische kann als ein konstitutiver Teil der Moderne gelten. So ist die Auseinandersetzung mit dem antiken Denken immer auch eine Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Kultur. In verständlich und anschaulich geschriebenen Texten stellen die Autoren dieses Bandes die Frage nach der Aktualität antiker Ideen und Konzepte in den Wissenschaften und den kreativen Künsten, in der Politik und in der Alltagskultur. Die Beiträge sind das Resultat der Veranstaltung 'Antike und Gegenwart', eines Gemeinschaftsprojekts der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Akademie der Künste, Berlin. Das Symposion hat gezeigt, daß Interdisziplinarität nicht nur den aktiven Austausch akademischer Disziplinen untereinander, sondern darüber hinaus auch das produktive Zusammenspiel der Wissenschaften und der Künste bedeuten kann. Zu den Autoren gehören über ihre Fachgrenzen hinaus bekannte Historiker, Politologen und Juristen, Naturwissenschaftler und Wissenschaftshistoriker, Klassische Philologen und Philosophen, Kunsthistoriker, Musikwissenschaftler und Schriftsteller: W. Burkert, H. Danuser, M. Diers, V. Gerhardt, A. Gierer, D. Grünbein, H. Hofmann, W. Jens, E. Knobloch, Chr. Meier, J. Mittelstraß, H. Münkler, W. Nippel, B. Seidensticker und Ph. Ursprung.

JENSEN, M. D., Affirming the Resurrection of the Incarnate Christ: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2012. 234p. Hardback. Series: Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series, 153. The first letter of John is commonly understood to contain no reference to Jesus's resurrection. Matthew D. Jensen argues that, far from this being absent from the theology of 1 John, the opening verses contain a key reference to the resurrection which undergirds the rest of the text and is bolstered by other explicit references to the resurrection. The book goes on to suggest that the author and the readers of this epistle understand themselves to be the authentic Israel from which faithless Jews had apostatized when they denied that Jesus was 'the Christ' and left the community. Jensen's interpretation calls for a new understanding of the historical context in which 1 John was written, particularly the question of Jesus' identity from the perspective of his fellow Jews. An innovative and provocative study, of interest to scholars and advanced students of New Testament studies, Johannine theology and Jewish history. (Publisher's information). € 75.25 (New)

JENSON, R. W. E., The Triune Story. Collected Essays on Scripture. Oxford University Press, 2019. 376p. Hardback. Robert Jenson was undoubtedly one of the most influential and original English-speaking theologians of the last half century, eloquent, controversial, profoundly in love with the God of Jewish and Christian Scripture. This invaluable collection shows us the depth and quality of his engagement with the text of Scripture: we follow him in his close reading of various passages and his tracing of various themes, and emerge with a renewed appreciation of the scope of his doctrinal vision. He offers a model of committed, prayerful exegesis which is both a joy and a challenge to read. Rowan Williams 01/04/2019 |a 04/04/2019 (Publisher's information). € 35.31 (New)

JENSON, R. W., Systematic Theology: Volume 1: The Triune God. Oxford University Press, 1997. 256p. Hardback. Robert Jenson's two volume Systematic Theology is a highly creative and individual synthesis of a number of often divergent strands of contemporary theology ... This is a work that deserves and requires patient, diligent, attentive readers, to whom it will demonstrate that the sheer oddity of Christian faith is one of its chief glories and the clearest proof of its divine origin.
