Wisdom and apocalyptic in the Gospel of Matthew : a comparative study with 1 Enoch and 4QInstruction
No full textRecent scholarship has demonstrated that Matthew's gospel has significantly developed
both sapiential and apocalyptic elements within its narrative. Little attention has been paid,
however, to the question of how these two features of Matthew's gospel might relate to one
another. It is this gap in scholarly literature that the present study is intended to fill, by means of a
comparative study with two other texts of mixed genre: 1 Enoch and 4Qlnstruction.
An examination of these texts demonstrates that each is marked by an inaugurated
eschatology, within which the revealing of wisdom to an elect group, defined in distinction to the
Jewish parent group, serves as the pivotal moment of inauguration. In addition, within
4Qlnstruction the idea is developed that possession of this revealed wisdom allows the remnant
to live in fidelity to the will of the Creator and to the patterns built-in to the original creation.
Thus, possession of revealed wisdom facilitates a recovery of creation.
These findings provide lines of enquiry that may be brought to Matthew. Three sections
of the gospel are examined (chapters 5-7; 11-12; 24-25). It is argued that Jesus is presented as an
eschatological figure who reveals wisdom to an elect group. This wisdom cannot be reduced to
great moral insight or interpretation of Torah, but is presented as prophetic revelation, happening
in eschatological time. It remains the case, however, that Matthew presents it as wisdom and
presents Jesus as a sage.
More tentatively, it is suggested that creation provides the patterns for the ethical
requirements of Jesus' wisdom, thus indicating that the idea of restored creation is also at work in
Matthew. The fall of the temple may also be connected in Matthew's narrative to such a
restoration, but again, the evidence for this is not clear

Injection moulding for practitioners Impact of adjustable processing parameters on moulded part properties
No full textDuring the publishing of the Journal Polimeri the Editorial board has
tended to publish practical experiences in different areas related to
polymeric materials. Unfortunately, in the last period this has rarely
been the case mostly because of the defi ciency of experts willing to
share their experiences. Most of the scientists are focused on their own
original research or are included in European research as co-workers.
Therefore, the Editorial board has requested the English author
John Goff to permit translation of some of the texts from his column
Moulding Masterclass from the Journal Injection World Magazine. In
these articles the author reveals, shares his considerable experience
providing educational, practical, and somewhat thought-provoking
articles on key aspects of injection moulding optimisation and
troubleshooting.
John Goff is well known to everybody involved in injection moulding.
He has more than 35 years of injection moulding experience,
including: mould design and manufacture; materials selection and
processing; machine specifi cation and operation; process control and
mould assessment and optimisation.
He is co-author of numerous books and publications on injection
moulding and well-known for his seminars and courses. He was a
senior lecturer at the University of London and a manager for process
engineering at the Demag Company.
He is now one of the managing directors of G&A Moulding Technology
which acts as a consultancy for companies in Europe, America
and Asia. He conducts training, troubleshooting, process optimisation,
mould trials, computer analyses and project management.
In the next several issues in this column we will be publishing those
texts written by Goff that might be helpful to our experts in solving
some practical problems.
We wish to express our gratitude to Mr. John Goff and the Editorial
board of the Journal Injection World Magazine for their consent to
reprint the translations of some articles that will follow
