MacDonald observes that the Fourth Gospel sounds themes proper to the Greek god Dionysos (the Roman Bacchus), not least as he was depicted in Euripides's play The Bacchae.
Scholars have read Paul's use of the word Christos as more of a proper name ("Jesus Christ") than a title, Jesus the Messiah. Joshua Jipp broadens the discussion by surveying Greco-Roman and Jewish depictions of the ideal king and argues for the influence of these traditions on aspects of Paul's thought and language of participation "in Christ."
Joshua W. Jipp is assistant professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. His recent publications include Divine Visitations and Hospitality to Strangers in Luke - Acts. Jipp also received the Paul J. Achtemeier Award for New Testament Scholarship for an earlier version of the second chapter from Christ is King.
