Roman Self-Representation and the Lukan Kingdom of God by Michael Kochenash

Reviewed by: Roman Self-Representation and the Lukan Kingdom of God by Michael Kochenash Linda Maloney michael kochenash, Roman Self-Representation and the Lukan Kingdom of God (Lanham, MD: Lexington Books/Fortress Academic, 2020). Pp. xvi + 223. $100. Michael Kochenash's book began as a dissertation written under the supervision of Dennis R. MacDonald at Claremont Graduate School (2017), as readers familiar with MacDonald's work will recognize. K.'s favored author for comparison, however, is not Homer but Virgil, and there are necessary differences between comparing Greek texts of different periods and aligning a Greek text with a roughly contemporary Latin one—which distinguishes Kochenash's book from one by MacDonald from the outset. In many ways the most important parts of the book are the Introduction ("Reading Luke and Acts within the Context of the Roman Empire") and the Epilogue ("Summary and [End Page 328] Reflection"). These are not mere summaries of the content that unfolds between them but serious reflections on method, with reference to a number of newer scholars and schools. K.'s principle is that "frameworks exert influence over interpreters, sometimes without their knowledge" (p. 11); and its corollary is that "frameworks foreclose the possibility of asking certain interpretive questions" (p. 15). We all know this in principle, but in practice we may forget it—or, in critiquing the work of others, we fail to recognize that they cannot answer any and all questions that may seem important to us within our own frameworks. K. calls his work an analysis of sections from Luke and Acts "within an underdeveloped framework: one that compares the Lukan 'kingdom of God [βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ]' with Roman representations … of its own 'kingdom [βασιλεία]'" (p. 15). Part 2, "Juxtaposing Foundational Figures" contains three chapters: "Imperial Genealogies and Adam as God's Son," "Movement of Capital and Jesus's Teachings," and "Commissions for Violence and Jesus's Ascension." The first of these contains interesting material on what K. calls Jesus's "double-divine pedigree" and that constructed by and for Augustus. He sees neither opposition to nor affinity with Rome's system here. Chapter 3, however, is a meaty discussion of the contrary "ideal" movements of wealth in Rome and in Jesus's kingdom: upward in the one case, downward in the other. Luke's hostility to wealth deserves emphasis, especially in our time. (In the Third Gospel the word "rich" is never associated with virtue or even ordinary goodness; in Acts "rich" never even appears.) In chap. 4, K. compares Jesus's ascension with that of Elijah but also with the story of Romulus, emphasizing the contrasting nonviolent nature of the reign of God. Part 3, "Juxtaposing Expressions of Inclusion" treats the Aeneid as a comparison text and Aeneas as a "structural metonym in Acts" (p. 98). Thus, chap. 5 is "Aeneas: A Roman Way to Structure Luke's Narrative." In fact it is more a comparison of the stories of Aeneas and Paul. In chap. 6, "Imperial Violence and the Resuscitation of Tabitha," K. asserts "several allusions to and juxtapositions with the Roman Empire," but I found this chapter the least persuasive, especially when Tabitha is compared to Dido on the basis of her name, "gazelle," which K. equates with "deer." Chapter 7, "Status Inequality and Cornelius's Obeisance," develops the premise that Acts 10:25–26 should be read against images of Roman domination in the Mediterranean world, arguing that "Peter's raising up of Cornelius subverts [the logic displayed, e.g., on Roman victory coins] and communicates the equal status of Judeans and Gentiles in the kingdom of God" (p. 127). In chap. 8, "Divine Duplicities and Luke's Union of Jews and Gentiles," K. deals with the ways in which "the inclusion of different ethnic groups within a superordinate identity" is negotiated in Luke-Acts and evaluates recent work by Marianne Palmer Bonz, Dennis R. MacDonald, and Aaron Kuecker. K. himself reads "Luke's story of the kingdom of God as appropriating and transvaluing the logic of Rome's foundation epic" (p. 143). The concluding reflections are unusual and gratifying. Having summarized his work by saying that "the present study explains several apparent non-sequiturs within Luke's narratives by...

Voices in the Hallway

Students, faculty, administration, and community members of three Iowa rural school districts were interviewed to identify educational issues in their communities The results of the Iowa investigation are compared with the results of the Claremont Graduate School investigation published in Voices from the inside: A report on schooling from inside the classroom (1992). The Claremont study investigated large urban schools. The Iowa study provides insight into small, rural school districts. Although similar issues emerged from the two studies, other issues demonstrated the different realities of education in rural Iowa and education in a large culturally diverse urban setting.

The Early Days

John Virgo and I were classmates, both as undergraduate and graduate students. John earned a B.A. in economics in 1967 and an M.A. in economics in 1969 from California State Fullerton. I received a B.A. in business administration with a concentration in economics in 1968 and a M.A. in economics in 1969, also from CSUF. We were then both accepted into the doctoral program in economics at the Claremont Graduate School, now called Claremont Graduate University. We were both primarily interested in labor economics. John was awarded a Ph.D. in 1972, but I finished in 1974. How did he finish so fast? Aside from being an expert in mnemonics and speed reading, John was exceptionally focused and was an accomplished planner. Those traits would serve him his entire professional career. In the early days as an undergraduate, John had an interest in labor economics—particularly labor immigration. Whenever he was required to write a class paper, John would choose a topic related to immigration. He wrote papers on the migrant worker program in California and on illegal manpower flows. And lo and behold, when he passed the doctoral qualifying exams, he submitted his dissertation, supervised by Professor Paul Sultan, a few days later. John had been working on aspects of his thesis for years. He knew exactly what he wanted to accomplish early on. I would call that extraordinary planning and focus. We lost close touch with each other after graduate school. I took a job as Director of the Manpower division of the Illinois Institute for Social Policy, a think tank created by the governor housed within the Illinois Department of Welfare. I lost that job after one year when a new governor took office, and I was fortunate to be offered a position as Assistant Professor of Quantitative Methods at CSUF. John took a position as Assistant Professor of Economics at Virginia Commonwealth University. In 1975, he moved to Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, where he stayed until he retired in 2005. Atl Econ J (2013) 41:317–318 DOI 10.1007/s11293-013-9367-1

Second Enlightenment by Wang Zhihe (王治河) and Fan Meijun (樊美筠) (review)

Reviewed by: Second Enlightenment by Wang Zhihe (王治河) and Fan Meijun (樊美筠) Franklin J. Woo (bio) Wang Zhihe (王治河) and Fan Meijun (樊美筠). Second Enlightenment 第二次启蒙. Beijing: Peking University Press, 2011. 478 pp. Paperback 59 yuan, ISBN 978-7-301-16690-1. In August 1998 the Center for Process Studies, Claremont Graduate School of Theology, California, sponsored an international conference on Process Thought and the Common Good. Among the more than three hundred participants from twenty different countries at this twenty-fifth anniversary of the Center, seven were from the People’s Republic of China. Two of the Chinese delegates, Wang Zhihe and his wife, Fan Meijun (coauthors of the above volume), decided after the conference to identify with its sponsoring Center. With a master’s in philosophy (Peking University), Wang was an associate at the Chinese Academy of Social Science (CASS, established in 1977). His special focus and research was on Western philosophy. Fan has a master’s degree in Chinese traditional aesthetics (Peking University) and a Ph.D. in history and Chinese thought, Beijing Normal University. For two years, she taught at the Southwest Normal University, Chongqing, followed by a professorship in the Department of Philosophy of Beijing Normal University (1987–2002). She is the author of six books on Chinese aesthetics and its relation to education. When Deng Xiaoping emerged as the paramount Chinese leader in late 1976, the central goal of his remaining life’s mission was to continue the disrupted modernization process of the People’s Republic. His strong emphasis was on science, which he regarded as the most crucial factor in the modernization process. To [End Page 420] accomplish this gigantic task, Deng advocated sending tens of thousands of China’s brightest and best abroad to gain the science and technology that the country needed so urgently. Even for those who do not return to China but remained abroad, he confidently predicted, they would, in the long run, still be an asset to China.1 How true was Deng’s prediction, especially with regard to both Wang and Fan as assets not only to China but to the United States as well. Since the Claremont conference, Wang completed his doctoral studies in religion in 2007. Fan had returned to China to finish her teaching obligations. In 2002 she and their son rejoined Wang in California. Along with others, Wang was instrumental in the establishing the China Project of the Center for Process Studies. In 2005 Wang and Fan expanded the Project into the Institute for Postmodern Development of China for more programmatic activities with the PRC. Wang assumed the role as the latter’s executive director. Through these two channels, Wang and Fan have been working indefatigably for more than a decade in U.S.-China intellectual relations under the rubric of constructive postmodernism (建设后现代化). They have overseen publications of the work of the Project and Institute, translations of articles and books on process thinking, especially the writings of Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947), John B. Cobb Jr., David Ray Griffin, Marjorie Hewitt Suchocki, and others. They have worked closely with their natural contacts in China in bringing individual and groups of scholars to Claremont and opening doors for their American counterparts to enter China on lectureships, scholarly symposiums, and conferences where East-West exchanges happen. The first international conference in China on process thinking, Whitehead and China in the New Millennium, was held in June 2002 at the Beijing Normal University (Fan’s alma mater). Since then, more than twenty networks on process thinking have been established in universities throughout China, where articles, papers, and PhD dissertations were and are appearing. Fan and Wang have successfully organized fifty symposiums or conferences, with representative names such as Toward an Ecological Civilization—the Perspectives from Marxism and Constructive Postmodernism. Second Enlightenment is a distillation of more than a decade of interaction between Chinese and American scholars in which Fan and Wang were the facilitators. The book is a virtual diary, an annotated bibliography, and a dynamic kaleidoscope of the new modes of thinking between and among scholars in East and West toward a viable earth, our common home in a postmodern age, fraught with uncertainties and dangers with humanity at the...

Correction of a proof in “A probabilistic result on the discrepancy of a hybrid-Monte Carlo sequence and applications”

We discuss an error in a proof on the discrepancy of mixed sequences (in [Ökten, Contributions to the theory of Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods, Ph.D. dissertation, The Claremont Graduate School, 1997, Ökten, Monte Carlo Methods and Applications 2: 255–270, 1996]) and recent research ([Gnewuch, Journal of Complexity 25: 312-317, 2009, Ökten, Tuffin, Burago, Journal of Complexity 22: 435–458, 2006]) that provide corrections, as well as research that provide a different generalization of the mixed sequences.

Gnosticism and Christianity in Roman and Coptic Egypt. By Birger A. Pearson. Pp. xvi + 302. (Studies in Antiquity and Christianity.) New York and London: T. & T. Clark International (a Continuum imprint), 2004. isbn 0 567 02610 8. Paper £20

This is the second collection of Professor Pearson's articles to appear in this series, which emanates from the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity of the Claremont Graduate School (cf. Gnosticism, Judaism, and Egyptian Christianity, 1990). Nine previously published but revised papers are preceded by a new review of research on the origins of Egyptian Christianity and a useful listing of the sources, orthodox and gnostic, which are attributable to second and third-century Egypt. Two of the revised papers are devoted to the Enoch literature and its influence in Coptic Christianity; the others concern the figure of Seth in Manichaeism, Gnostic iconography, Gnostic ritual and Iamblichus’ defence of theurgy, a Coptic homily attributed to Peter of Alexandria, the topography of Jewish and Christian Alexandria, varieties of Alexandrian Jewish Christianity, and the validity (defended by Pearson) of ‘Gnosticism’ as a term for a religious tradition.

The Hebrew National Orphan Home: Memories of Orphanage Life (review)

Westport, CT: Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc., and Bergin and Garvey Press, 2001. 305 pp. $74.95. Hebrew National Orphan Home: Memories of Orphanage Life is an engaging collection that is true to its title. book's editors, Ira Greenberg, Richard Safran, and Sam George Arcus, grew up in New York's Hebrew National Orphan Home (HNOH, Home, or simply, The H) during the 1930s and early 1940s. book paints a generally positive picture of childhood at the HNOH, although the authors are not blinded to the darker sides of institutional life. For these authors, this is a story of triumph over adversity. As Safran writes in the book's prologue, not only survived, we flourished. We became tough and self-sufficient.... Tenderness, writes Safran, something we rarely experienced and certainly never understood. What replaced love was a fierce devotion to one another, to our many championship teams, and to our hazy dreams of capturing a measure of (p. ix). Greenberg et al.'s Hebrew National Orphan Horne is a well-edited memoir focusing on the experiences of a handful of the 1,300-1,800 boys who passed through the HNOH's doors from 1914 to 1958. book is also a social commentary on contemporary child welfare policy. Greenberg and his coauthors conclude that today's disadvantaged need both the hard-charging Newts [Newt Gingrich] to organize and build...orphanages, and...the caring and intellectually gifted Hillaries [Hillary Rodham Clinton] to operate, supervise, and regulate those institutions... (p. 286).(1) book's authors are certainly well-qualified to express their opinion on the topic. All are HNOH success stories. Ira Greenberg earned a B.A. in journalism from Oklahoma University, an M.A. in English from the University of Southern California, an M.S. in counseling from Los Angeles State University, and a Ph.D. in psychology from Claremont Graduate School. Richard Safran has a B.A. in English from Brooklyn College and an M.A. in English from Hunter College. He also holds an Advanced Certificate in Educational Administration and Supervision and was a school principal. Sam George Arcus earned a B.S.S. from City College of New York and a M.S.W. from Columbia University. He held various positions in Jewish community centers located throughout the United States and was executive director of the Jewish community center in Tucson at the time of his retirement. Although none of these men are trained historians, the book includes a respectable bibliography and index. Hebrew National Orphan Home got its start on December 5, 1912 when a group of men and women from New York's Lower East Side raised $64 and committed themselves to creating an Orthodox Jewish home for destitute children (p. 103). founders purchased a four-story tenement building located at 57 East 7(th) Street and accepted the institution's first residents, the four Kassofsky brothers, on June 7, 1914. Within six months twenty boys lived at the home. By the HNOH's third year, the organization housed over 100 boys and had expanded to a second building located on 8(th) Street directly behind the original house. Supporters soon looked for a more country-like setting that could accommodate a larger facility. HNOH reached its goal on July 26, 1920 when the organization moved seventeen miles north to a new red-brick building located on a twenty acre site at 407 Tuckahoe Road in Yonkers, New York. HNOH operated at this location as a 130-bed residential facility for orphans, half-orphans, and abandoned Jewish boys until 1958. An estimated 1,300 to 1,800 boys spent at least part of their childhood at The Home. Younger boys attended elementary school at the HNOH, and older youths went to Yonkers' Theodore Roosevelt High School. As Greenberg and his coauthors show, throughout its history changing trends in child welfare policy directly affected daily life at the HNOH. …

The Way It Worked and Why It Won't: Structural Change and the Slowdown of U.S. Economic Growth. By Gordon C. Bjork. Westport, CT: Praeger, 1999. Pp. xviii, 299. $69.50, cloth; $27.95, paper.

At a time when serious questions in economic history are often delivered by publishers into the hands of either misinformed polemicists (such as Dinesh D'Souza in his remarkably misleading The Virtue of Prosperity: Finding Values in an Age of Techno–Affluence) or facile pundits (such as Jeffrey Madrick in his thoughtful yet under-researched The End of Affluence), it is a special pleasure to encounter Gordon Bjork's The Way It Worked and Why It Won't. Here is a work, skillfully rendered by the Lovelace Professor of Economics of Claremont McKenna College and the Drucker School of Management (Claremont Graduate School), that carefully assays the recent economic history of the United States with a view toward understanding the productivity slowdown that has obtained since the 1970s.

Origins of the Bill of Rights

Origins of the Bill of Rights. By Leonard W. Levy. (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1999. Pp. xii, 306. $30.00.) Negotiating the Constitution: The Earliest Debates over Original Intent. By Joseph M. Lynch. (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1999. Pp. x , 315. $42.50.) Constitutional Interpretation: Textual Meaning, Original Intent, and Judicial Review. By Keith E. Whittington. (Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 1999. Pp. xiii, 299. $39.95.) These three books represent contrasting disciplinary approaches-of history, law, and political theory-to a perennial issue: Can we identify what the Constitution's framers, ratifiers, and first effectuators intended or understood it to mean? In Origins of the Bill of Rights, Leonard W. Levy, former dean of Claremont Graduate School, distills the decades of scholarship that have made him a towering figure in the historiography of the Bill of Rights. Like other volumes in Yale's Contemporary Law Series (addressed to general readers), this book lacks notes; Levy appends a sketchy reading list, supplemented by the list of his writings opposite the title page. Levy's combative analysis provides few surprises for those familiar with his work on the Fifth Amendment or the First Amendment's speech, press, and religion clauses. It reflects his own origins as a scholar in the 1950s and 1960s-in particular, neglecting the recent scholarship that examines, more sympathetically than he does, the thought and actions of the Anti-Federalists. Even so, general readers will find this book a deft and enlightening introduction to the Bill of Rights and to Levy's work as a whole. In Negotiating the Constitution, Joseph M. Lynch, an emeritus professor of law at Seton Hall University Law School, investigates how such modern Supreme Court decisions as United States v. Lopez (1995) use and abuse original intent. He makes a significant contribution to a shopworn debate by asking how, in the first decade of government under the Constitution, politicians used evidence of original intentions or understandings undergirding the Constitution. Lynch's able review of congressional debates on disputes is more sensitive to political context than David P. Currie's The Constitution in Congress: The Federalist Period, 1789-1801 (1996). Unlike Currie, Lynch recognizes how those advancing or opposing expansive readings of the Constitution often did so to serve specific political goals or advance specific positions. Lynch, however, skews his interpretation of his central issue: the meaning of the Constitution's Necessary and Proper clause (Article I, section 8, clause 18). Embracing Alexander Hamilton's implied-powers interpretation, he denounces as unduly political the shifting course charted by James Madison. For Lynch, that clause's proper interpretation is and always was obvious; in his view, Madison is culpable for bowing to his native state's immediate political interests. Lynch fails to see that Madison was neither a consistent theorist on the modern academic model (a dubious honor that Lynch seems to bestow on Hamilton) nor a mere politician calculating what would best serve his constituents, but rather a working politician seeking to reconcile theory with practice, his cherished hopes as constitution-maker with his-and his allies'-evolving political agendas. In the most original of these books, Constitutional Interpretation, Keith E. Whittington, who teaches political science at Princeton University, has produced a companion volume to his Constitutional Construction: Divided Powers and Constitutional Meaning (1999). The earlier study explained Whittington's conception of constitutional construction, a subcategory of interpretation requiring the `imaginative vision' of politics rather than the `discerning wit' of judicial judgment (5). …

Introducing Instructional Technology to International Relations

was calling to let me know that his daughter had returned from first class of her college experience so excited that she had phoned him at home.
