Identifying Paul's Opponents: The Question of Method in 2 Corinthians (The Library of New Testament Studies)
by Jerry L. SumneyTo develop a method for identifying Paul's opponents it is first necessary to analyse procedures used by previous scholars. Too little attention has been paid in the past to issues of method, and many procedures have been used which violate the canons of historical research. In the first place, limits should be set upon the use of historical reconstructions and of external sources, and the determinative source for identifying the opponents of any letter must be that letter itself. Secondly, a satisfactory method will analyse passages within the primary text according to the nature of the section (e.g. polemical or didactic) and the types of statements they contain (e.g. explicit statements about opponents or allusions to them). Then each combination of context and statement type is evaluated to determine (1) how certain we can be about whether the passage refers to opponents and (2) how much distortion is likely to be present. The application of the proposed method to the two letters within 2 Corinthians indicates that Paul faced the same group of opponents in both letters. These opponents were pneumatics who demanded a particular manner of life as evidence that a person possesses the measure of the spirit which makes one an apostle.
Servants of Satan, False Brothers, and Other Opponents of Paul (The Library of New Testament Studies #188)
by Jerry L. SumneyThis book sets out a method for identifying the opponents in view in Paul's letters, and then applies it to the relevant writings of the Pauline corpus. The method limits the use of parallels or prior constructions as a basis for identification, dealing with each letter on an individual basis and taking full acount of the historical and social context. Sumney concludes that the Pauline letters address different kinds of opposition in different places, including two distinct anti-Paul movements. Here is a fundamental study for research into a basic problem of the Pauline correspondence.

Bildung für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung in chinesischen Grundschulen: Implementierung über Schülerpartizipation im Unterricht
by Xiaokang SunXiaokang Sun untersucht, wie chinesische Grundschullehrer den Unterricht gestalten, um Schülerpartizipation im Sinne von Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) zu fördern. Die vorliegende Governance-Analyse fokussiert damit auf die Dynamik der Anpassungen der Einzelschulen und die Interaktionsstrukturen der lokalen Akteure vor dem Hintergrund der zunehmenden Gestaltungsspielräume für die Schulentwicklung im aktuellen chinesischen Schulsystem. Die Autorin belegt, wie innovativ das BNE-Konzept für die Weiterentwicklung traditioneller Formen von Handlungskoordination in einer dezentralisierten Systemsteuerung zwischen den verschiedenen Systemakteuren ist.
Bad News: Last Journalists in a Dictatorship
by Anjan SundaramHearing a blast, journalist Anjan Sundaram headed uphill towards the sound. Grenade explosions are not entirely unusual in the city of Kigali; dissidents throw them in public areas to try and destabilise the government and, since moving to Rwanda, he had observed an increasing number of them. What was unusual about this one, however, was that when Sundaram arrived, it was as though nothing had happened. Traffic circulated as normal, there was no debris on the streets and the policeman on duty denied any event whatsoever. This was evidence of a clean-up, a cloaking of the discontent in Rwanda and a desire to silence the media in a country most of whose citizens were without internet. This was the first of many ominous events. Bad News is the extraordinary account of the battle for free speech in modern-day Rwanda. Following not only those journalists who stayed, despite fearing torture or even death from a ruthless government, but also those reporting from exile, it is the story of papers being shut down, of lies told to please foreign delegates, of the unshakeable loyalty that can be bred by terror, of history being retold, of constant surveillance, of corrupted elections and of great courage. It tells the true narrative of Rwandan society today and, in the face of powerful forces, of the fight to make explosions heard.
