Sinossi

In "Philosophumena; or, The Refutation of All Heresies, Volume II," Antipope Hippolytus presents a comprehensive examination of early Christian heresies, exploring their philosophical underpinnings and theological ramifications. Written in a methodical style that combines polemical discourse with scholarly rigor, this work reflects the intellectual struggles of the early Church as it sought to establish its orthodoxy. The text is rich in historical context, drawing from various sources to dissect the beliefs and practices of heretical sects, while also serving as a crucial commentary on the formative centuries of Christian thought. Hippolytus employs a systematic approach, categorized discussions leading to compelling analysis of the moral and spiritual implications of these deviations from accepted doctrine. Hippolytus, a significant figure in the early Christian hierarchy, faced the challenges of presiding over a period marked by theological discord and political strife. His deep commitment to defending the faith and his firsthand experience of the controversies within the Church uniquely positioned him to tackle the complexities of heretical teachings. His authoritative voice resonates through the text, embodying both pastoral concern and scholarly authority, shaped by his own experiences of persecution and defiance. This pivotal work is essential for scholars and general readers alike who seek to understand the foundations of Christian doctrine in the face of dissent. "Philosophumena" is not merely a historical text; it provides insight into the resilience of early Christian thought and its struggle against misinterpretation. Recommended for all those interested in the theological battles that forged the Church, it invites readers to reflect on the legacy of orthodoxy through the lens of philosophical debate.

Understanding Biblical Law -...

Dru Johnson

Southwestern Journal of Theology 2025 Book Award (Honorable Mention, Biblical Reference / Biblical Backgrounds)

We tend to be perplexed by the psalmists who express delight in God's laws. We see biblical law as a long list of rules with harsh punishments, and the more we read the biblical law within modern legal frameworks, the stranger it appears. We are too estranged from its world, aims, and concerns to see its beauty and wisdom.

In Understanding Biblical Law, Dru Johnson
reorients the reader to see biblical law through ancient Israelite eyes. He deconstructs common myths regarding biblical law and shows how it often differs significantly from both modern law and ancient Near Eastern law. Johnson weaves in an ancient murder mystery between chapters to show how ancient Israelites could have reasoned with and through Torah to solve real-life problems. He then demonstrates how we can do the same by discerning biblical law's literary and historical contexts, appreciating its sophisticated wisdom, and distinguishing it from our modern legal notions.

This book is engaging and accessible for undergrads and laypeople but robust enough for seminarians. Johnson demonstrates a skill-based approach for interpreting Old Testament law and uses examples to encourage readers to practice these skills for themselves.

When we enter the biblical world, we see with the psalmists the beauty and sophistication of Israel's laws and discover a rich resource for thinking about the law's theological implications for Hellenistic Judaism, the New Testament, and readers today.
