Has anyone of you got either of these articles? Unfortunately I cannot find them on the internet.
Barr, James. "Abba Isn't Daddy."
Journal of Theological Studies 39 (1988):28-47.
Barr, James. "Abba, Father and the Familiarity of Jesus' Speech" Theology 91 (1988): 173-79
The reason I want to read them is because I read the following statemant in Thomas R. Schreiner's 1Peter (New American Commentary), page 83 where he cites him:
"The relationship we have with God is both tender and awesome. Some have wrongly understood from the word abba that God is "daddy," applying it in astonishingly casual ways. J. Barr has demonstrated in two important articles that such an understanding is flawed."
Thanks
