at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford
Jesus and the four gospels have been near the heart of my work, both scholarly and popular, throughout my adult life. Though I have published more overall on Paul and his letters, I have constantly come back to the questions raised by the four gospels. The present volume collects together the essays that led up to Jesus and the Victory of God (1996) and that have tried to take forward various related discussions from that point.
I am grateful to the many publishers and editors who have given permission for these pieces to be made available in this way, and to my friends and publishers at SPCK and Zondervan for their work behind the scenes. I am greatly indebted to my research assistants Simon Drr and Ethan Johnson for their painstaking work in scanning the original documents, inserting pagination with relevant page numbers in square brackets, lightly editing where typographical mistakes had crept in, and inserting occasional references to relevant material published subsequently (including to other essays in the present volume). No attempt has been made, of course, to smooth out any internal contradictions or indeed repetitions. My views on various subjects displayed here have undergone a mostly gentle development, though not without some sudden leaps, and anyone interested in observing such changes will find plenty of material here.
Throughout the present volume, unless otherwise stated, quotations in English from the New Testament are either my own translation or taken from my published translation The New Testament for Everyone (SPCK, 2019), known in the USA as The Kingdom New Testament (Zondervan HarperCollins, 2012). As in that work, I always use lower-case s for spirit, not because I hold a low view of the third person of the Trinity but because, in the first century, the early Christian use of the common and polysemous word pneuma had to make its own way without such help. Quotations from the Old Testament are either my own translation or taken or adapted from the New Revised Standard Version with Apocrypha, Anglicized (1995 edition). When quoting from the NRSV, I have replaced the term the L ORD with the name YHWH .
