The Creator blasphemed?
More LessAbstractIn this article I examine Arnold A. van Ruler’s sharp criticism of Augustine’s adage that the world may only be used, because God alone deserves to be enjoyed. Van Ruler does not focus on the already extensively discussed question of whether ‘using the world’ can be applied to intercourse between human beings. Rather he proposes that Augustine denigrates God’s material creation when he discourages people from enjoying it. The conclusion of my research is that Van Ruler is somewhat unfair with respect to Augustine, although he is justified in rejecting the Neoplatonic setting of his approach.

Historische versus allegorische uitleg in de inleiding van Išo‘dad van Mervs commentaar op de Psalmen
More LessAbstractThe introduction to the ninth-century commentary on the Psalms by Išo‘dad of Merv contains a chapter on historical versus allegorical explanation. The first half of this chapter is about Origen and the Greek origin of allegorical explanation. The second half shows the inadequacy of allegorical explanation on the basis of Paul’s interpretation of the rock in the desert as Christ (1 Cor. 10:4). This article contains a Dutch translation and an analysis in which the possible sources of Išo‘dad’s text are discussed with special attention to the work of Theodore of Mopsuestia.

About the pedagogy of Jesus and the later rabbis
By Bart J. KoetAbstractBirgir Gerhardsson’s Memory and Manuscript (1961) challenged the field of New Testament Studies by arguing that both the New Testament and rabbinic traditions were originally oral traditions that – even after being written down – continued to be transmitted orally. Although Gerhardsson’s book met severe criticism initially, this article shows that more than half a century after its first publication, Gerhardsson’s work has found positive reappraisal in modern scholarship, even though it is outdated in several aspects. After sketching both the outline of the book and its reception this article discusses the personal experience of the author in studying and teaching Gerhardsson’s important study.
