You can see the echoes of Bauckham quite clearly in application to Mark in the first article, although he does not go to any length to define what constitutes the unique divine identity. In his conclusion: "Mark actually identifies Jesus with ku/rioj (1.3) and throughout his narrative, by means of his ambiguous use of ku/rioj, links both God and Jesus to the ku/rioj title. Third, there is an overlap of identity between God and Jesus achieved by means of ku/rioj, which serves to unite God and Jesus. The ‘inseparability’<br />is realized precisely through their shared identity as ku/rioj. Yet, at the same time, Mark maintains a clear distinction. Throughout most of the narrative two figures are linked to ku/rioj, and Mark never calls Jesus ‘God’ and ‘Father’. These are reserved for the God of Israel and separate Jesus from God... " (121)<br /><br />When I saw the second article title my first thought was to see it in terms of Bauckham - i.e. Jesus sharing in the unique role of God (creator, sovereign ruler and... forgiver of sins). While Johansson doesn't make this the main subject of the article, I believe that is where he is heading. (e.g. concluding statement: "Thus various strands of early Judaism conceived of priests, prophets, messianic figures or angels who were involved when sins of human beings were acquitted, but they all seem to have shared the view that ‘forgiveness is a prerogative of God which he shares with no other and deputes to none’"(370)Arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844298036103120083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380249125951802124.post-5146943433406021772011-06-02T20:04:45.988-07:002011-06-02T20:04:45.988-07:00If you're e-mailing copies of them anyway... ...If you're e-mailing copies of them anyway... :)<br /><br />But I did want to ask whether the article(s) that mention(s) "divine identity" simply take Bauckham as a given, or actually try to explain and clarify what this rather vague phrase actually means.James F.
