Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ (Rev. 1:1): The Climax of John’s Prophecy?

May 2003 · Tyndale Bulletin

Marko Jauhiainen

This article argues that interpreters of the book of Revelation have not paid sufficient attention to the way the introductory phrase Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ) is qualified in 1:1: the ἀποκάλυψις concerns 'what must take place soon', as 'shown' to John by an angel. A critique of the traditional position is followed by an evaluation of Richard Bauckham's proposal that ἀποκάλυψις refers to the ... [Show full abstract] contents of the little scroll in ch. 10. The article ends with an alternative reading of the data: the clues provided by John in 1:1 regarding the ἀποκάλυψις suggest that it is primarily found in the climax of the book, i.e., the visions of the destruction of Babylon and her replacement by the New Jerusalem (17:1-19:10; 21:9-22:9).

Archaeological houses, households, housework and the home (1995) In The Home: Words, Interpretations...

January 1995

Ruth Tringham

This chapter discusses how the underlying assumptions that archaeologists hold about "the home" and "place" affect the way in which they interpret the archaeological remains of architecture, and the way in which that architecture is excavated. It discusses the fact that archaeology is not a discipline with a unified viewpoint about the "home" or the "house", but one in which the data may be ... [Show full abstract] interpreted in multiple ways. The article uses data from Southeast European prehistory, including that from my excavations at Opovo. It focuses at first on the empirical data that can be gleaned from prehistoric architectural remains about the different stages of the use-life of houses

September 1994 · Gender Place and Culture A Journal of Feminist Geography

Ruth Tringham

This paper is concerned with the importance of archaeological records in prehistorical times for the built environment. It is suggested that previous writings on this period have been dehumanising, uncreative and arid. The author argues that a focus on space, place and gender can illustrate many of the complexities and issues facing not only that particular period but also archaeology itself. The ... [Show full abstract] remainder of the paper is divided into two major sections: first, a detailed critique of the methodologies and philosophies of archaeology is offered.

January 2015

Ruth Tringham

In this paper I bring together the ideas of Steve Anderson (Recombinant History), Lev Manovich (Database Narratives) and Kathleen Stewart (Ordinary Affects) with my own experience in creating experimental narratives for archaeology using multiple media formats. It explores the fragmentary and non-linear nature of narratives about the past as a legitimate form of presenting the interpretation of ... [Show full abstract] archaeological data and the voices of both modern narrators and sentient prehistoric actors, drawing especially on my current research in the challenging world of pre-literate Europe and Anatolia. An essential aspect of this exploration is archaeologist/author responds to the recent critique of the agency/personhood of actors of the past.

Southeastern Europe in the transition to agriculture in Europe: Bridge, buffer, or mosaic (2000)

September 2000

Ruth Tringham

Plants and animals originally domesticated in the Near East arrived in Europe between 7000 and 4000 BC. Was the new technology introduced by migrants, or was it an 'inside job'? How were the new species adapted to European conditions? What were the immediate and long-term consequences of the transition from hunting and gathering to farming? These central questions in the prehistory of Europe are ... [Show full abstract] discussed here by leading specialists, drawing on scholarship in fields as diverse as genetics and IndoEuropean linguistics. Detailed studies document the differences between European regions, and fresh generalisations about the origins of European agriculture are also proposed and debated.
