Coins as Cultural Texts in the World of the New Testament
Author: David H. Wenkel
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567670759
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Coins have long been a vital part of the discipline of classical studies of the ancient world. However, many scholars have commented that coins have not been adequately integrated into the study of the New Testament. This book provides an interdisciplinary gateway to the study of numismatics for those who are engaged in biblical studies. Wenkel argues that coins from the 1st century were cultural texts with communicative power. He establishes a simple yet comprehensive hermeneutic that defines coins as cultural texts and explains how they might be interpreted today. Once coins are understood to be cultural texts, Wenkel proceeds to explain how these texts can be approached from three angles. First, the world in front of the coin is defined as the audience who initially read and responded to coins as cultural texts. The entire Roman Empire used coins for payment. Second, the world of the coin refers to the coin itself – the combination of inscriptions and images. This combination of inscription and image was used ubiquitously as a tool of propaganda. Third, the world behind the coin refers to the world of power and production behind the coins. This third angle explores the concept of authorship of coins as cultural texts.

Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
The rebuilding of the Temple of Jerusalem was launched by king Herod I the great in 20 BC. Considered as a center of religion and a destination of pilgrimage, the new Temple was enlarged and surrounded by a wall with gates. The Temple’s square served as a gathering place and its porticoes sheltered merchants and money- changers. During the rebellion against Rome, the Temple was entirely destroyed by the roman forces under the orders of Titus in 70 AD. After the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, this story will lead the reader to numerous places and will introduce him to different characters. One of them was a Knight Templar. He got in 1120 an ancient roman coin discovered under the Temple while the Knights were undertaking the excavation works. This coin held a great secret that goes back to hundreds of years. Since 1120, nobody realized what the coin bears until this fact was revealed in 29th of March 1994. Through this story, more than ten years later, the reader will find out the greatest and the most valuable secret for his life.
