| "The Greek for
"malice" means the evil habit of mind;

deed. The Greek for "sincerity" expresses
literally, a thing which, when examined by the sun's light,
is found pure and unadulterated." |

Pure/Polluted and Holy/Profane," Jerome H. Neyrey, in The Social Sciences and
New Testament Interpretation, 80-104. R. L. Rohrbaugh, ed. Peabody, Mass.:
Hendrickson, 1996.
| "The specific use of the two anthropological models
of (a) "clean" and "unclean" and (2) body symbolism can equip a reader
to understand a wide but interconnected series of issues, such as dietary concerns (Acts
10-11), mission to "unclean" people (Mark 5; Acts 8), sexual morals (1 Thess
4:1-9), and hand washings (Mark 7). A reader
knowing this material has a firm basis for sympathetically understanding the conflicts
between Jesus and Pharisees which run through the gospel stories." |

| Sermons:
| "A
Sermon on 1 Corinthians 5:7," Geerhaudus Vos, in Kerux: The
Online Journal of Biblical Theology (Reformed).
| "I sometimes feel as if what
we need most is a sense of proportion in our presentation of the
truth; a new sense of where the center of gravity in the gospel
lies; a return to the ideal of Paul who determined not to know
anything among the Corinthians save Jesus Christ and him
crucified." |
