The Significance of Exemplars for the Interpretation of the Letter of James
ISBN: 9783161532634 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this book, Robert J. Foster explores James' use of his four characters from Jewish history and tradition (Abraham, Rahab, Job and Elijah) and considers their collective as well as individual functions in the composition. He concludes that each of the four exemplars was tested to the extreme (albeit in very different ways) yet remained wholly-committed to God. By reason of that commitment each exemplar became an outsider in both their cultural and historical contexts. 'James' urges his audience to emulate these exemplars in their less extreme tests of daily life by rejecting the values of...

Renaming Abraham's Children: Election, Ethnicity, and the Interpretation of Scripture in Romans 9
ISBN: 9783161544835 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 327 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this study, Robert B. Foster explores the intersection between the interpretation of Scripture and the construction of communal identities. He argues that in Rom 9, Paul applies prophetic texts from Malachi, Hosea, and Isaiah to the story of Abraham's children in Genesis. These interpretive maneuvers enable Paul to extrapolate from the patriarchal narratives a specific construal of election: it is the ironic privilege of being simultaneously God's chosen and rejected people. This understanding of election he in turn applies to Gentile Christ-followers, the remnant, and all Israel in order...

In the early 1500s, twenty-four year old Spanish Captain Luis Escudero is already a legend in Spain's professional army, living and fighting in her battles, gambling his life on the slim chance that one day he'll have enough money to travel to that strange new world Christopher Columbus discovered just twenty five years ago.

Legendary writer, warrior, poet and cynic, Ambrose Bierce, in the last days of 1913, rode off to Mexico to join forces with the last remaining maverick rebel he respected, Pancho Villa.

His minister cousin arrives instead, with one of Bierce's old journalistic rivals in tow, to convince him to return with them across the border. Bierce refuses to be "rescued," prefering a defiant fate in a...

Robert Longo, Charcoal : Retrospective. Catalogue of the Exhibition at the Kunsthalle Weishaupt, 2010/2011
ISBN: 9783775731966 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Robert Longo's mastery of charcoal drawing has made him one of America's most admired artists. With every new work he reinvests the tradition of history painting with fresh relevance and impact, rendering majestic, era-defining images in a sensuous and sculptural photorealism. Longo's sense of both literal scale and historical scope is monumental, as a survey of his numerous serial works soon reveals: the Freud Drawings cycle of 2000 with its large-format treatment of Edmund Engelmann's photographs of Sigmund Freud's Vienna apartment, taken days before Freud's departure for London; or...
