Re-Presenting the Johannine Community: A Postcolonial Perspective
ISBN: 9780820497334 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Re-Presenting the Johannine Community: A Postcolonial Perspective explores the characterization of the Johannine community in the Farewell Discourse of the Fourth Gospel from a postcolonial perspective. The community is scrutinized with the lens of an integrated literary-rhetorical and ideological-postcolonial approach. The disciples emerge as both the -Self-, insofar as they resist an imperial reality represented by the -world-, and the -Other-, with respect to Jesus and the Father. As such, far from immutable and bland, the Johannine community is portrayed as chameleonic and engaged...

Andrew of Bethsaida and the Johannine Circle; The Muratorian Tradition and the Gospel Text
ISBN: 9781433120251 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 177 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book is a reading of the text of the Gospel of John in light of a tradition of Johannine authorship represented by the Muratorian Fragment, Papias of Hierapolis, and the Anti-Marcionite Prologue, all which are taken to reflect the influence of a common tradition represented by Jerome, Clement of Alexandria, and Victorinus of Pettau. Taken together these suggest that the Gospel of John was the work of the late first- or early second-century John the Presbyter who mediated the tradition of a distinctive group of Johannine disciples among whom Andrew was most important.

The So-Called Mixed Text: An Examination of the Non-Alexandrian and Non-Byzantine Text-Type in the Catholic Epistles
ISBN: 9781433107559 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In recent years, a number of scholars have identified a text-type in six of the books of the Catholic Epistles that they have called -mixed.- The So-Called Mixed Text: An Examination of the Non-Alexandrian and Non-Byzantine Text-Type in the Catholic Epistles is concerned with a comprehensive identification and evaluation of this so-called mixed text-type. This mixed category, if supported by empirical investigation to be more original than the Alexandrian and Byzantine texts, could necessitate the re-evaluation of these established text-types and also the re-evaluation of the...

The Dreams of Matthew 1: 18-2:23; Tradition, Form, and Theological Investigation
ISBN: 9781433116254 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Dreams of Matthew 1:18-2:23: Tradition, Form, and Theological Investigation critically examines the five dream passages of Matthew 1:18-2:23 to demonstrate that Matthew employed dream narratives to defend allegations concerning Jesus birth and to provide etiological reasons both for why Jesus went to Egypt and how Jesus happened to live in Nazareth. A diachronic survey of dream records in the Ancient Near Eastern, Egyptian, Jewish, Greco-Roman, and Second Temple writings reveals that dream narratives fall into two major categories: message dreams and symbolic dreams. Every dream...

The Moral World of James: Setting the Epistle in Its Greco-Roman and Judaic Environments
ISBN: 9781433108815 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 237 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In The Moral World of James, James Riley Strange compares the moral system in the Epistle of James with other Greco-Roman and Judaic texts. The author of the epistle prescribed moral practices in a world in which other people, both pagan and Jewish, had long been expressing similar concerns, and more would continue to take up the task centuries after Christianity was well established in the Roman Empire. In this fresh and thick analysis, Strange s systemic comparison of texts (among them works of Plato, Plutarch, Epictetus, and Aelius Aristides, as well as Greek Magical Papyri,...

Canaan to Corinth: Paul's Doctrine of God and the Issue of Food Offered to Idols in 1 Corinthians 8:1-11:1
ISBN: 9780820478333 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Canaan to Corinth raises important questions dealing with the nature of food and its relationship to idolatry in 1 Corinthians 8:1-11:1. What is the nature of food sacrificed to idols? Are Christians allowed to eat it? The Corinthians asked Paul, and he searched the Old Testament for his answer in the doctrine of God. This shed light on the idea of idolatry as a wrongful exchange of God for things in creation. Moses faced idolatry in Canaan and became the paradigm for Paul to deal with idolatry in Corinth. This examination clarifies the nature of the Apostolic Decree and the difference...

How Firm a Foundation: The Dispensations in the Light of the Divine Covenants
ISBN: 9780820469317 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Do covenants or dispensations structure the biblical revelation? The historic conflict between Covenant and Dispensational theology has resulted in a neglect of biblical covenants in Dispensationalism. As a corrective, this book offers a variant of Dispensationalism designated Covenantal Dispensationalism. Analyzing both ancient Near Eastern and biblical covenants, this work clearly demonstrates that the character of each dispensation is the sum of the stipulations of the operative covenants. Therefore, this book concludes that covenants structure the biblical revelation and that resulting...

A Word Fitly Spoken: Poetic Artistry in the First Four Acrostics of the Hebrew Psalter
ISBN: 9781433103889 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 177 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. A Word Fitly Spoken explores significant poetic devices within the four alphabetic acrostic psalms found in Book I of the Psalter. The majority of scholarly opinion has been that these acrostics are poetically and artistically deficient due to the writers and editors preoccupation with the alphabetic pattern. In contrast to this view, A Word Fitly Spoken proposes that the acrostic pattern contributes to, rather than detracts from, the poetic artistry of these psalms. In an effort to promote a holistic, canonical reading of the four acrostic poems within Book I of the Psalter,...

Power and Marginality in the Abraham Narrative - Second Edition
ISBN: 9781498251327 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Description: Who will speak for Hagar or Isaac or Sarah or the daughters of Lot? With an interpretive trajectory that moves from the margin to the center, this book gives voice to the marginalized and voiceless in the Abraham Narratives. Further, this approach is based on the premise that there is a continuum of power in the various characters in these narratives and that the most powerful are those who are lodged at the center while those with the least power are on the margin or beyond. The intent of this study is to direct and perhaps re-direct our attention to the text and with fresh eyes...

The Matthean Beatitudes in Their Jewish Origins: A Literary and Speech ACT Analysis
ISBN: 9781433115455 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 343 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Matthean Beatitudes in Their Jewish Origins: A Literary and Speech Act Analysis examines how Matthew used Jewish concepts as paradigmatic utterances for the Matthean community. In fact, the Gospel of Matthew was the most Jewish of the Synoptic Gospels, and Matthew s paradigm was the needed transition for understanding the role of the new community post-70 AD. The importance and role of Jewish concepts is evident in Matthew s work. More specifically, the literary nature of the Beatitudes demonstrates a composition that evolved from oral origins. Speech act theory is utilized to...

Romans 4 and the New Perspective on Paul: Faith Embraces the Promise
ISBN: 9781433105371 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. As the vigorous debate over the New Perspective on Paul will only be decided by means of careful consideration of the relevant Scripture passages, Romans 4 and the New Perspective on Paul makes a significant contribution to the discussion. Interpretations by scholars promoting the New Perspective approach are reviewed in detail and contrasted with those of scholars who are critical toward this method. A detailed analysis of the context and exegesis of Romans 4 completes the work. By suggesting a more nuanced exegesis of Romans 4, this book is able to offer a careful critique of the New...

Isaac Abravanel on Miracles, Creation, Prophecy, and Evil: The Tension Between Medieval Jewish Philosophy and Biblical Commentary
ISBN: 9780820462363 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 241 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. How do philosophical theories influence the reading of the Bible? How did the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance alter the views of God, miracles, prophecy, creation, and evil? This book explores these questions in detail through the work of Isaac Abravanel (1437-1508), a great Jewish statesman, philosopher, and biblical interpreter who embodied the fundamental paradigm shift from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. This book also serves as an invaluable reference guide to such medieval Jewish philosophers as Saadia, Maimonides, and Gersonides, as well as some of their Muslim...

Strange Names of God: The Missionary Translation of the Divine Name and the Chinese Responses to Matteo Ricci's «Shangti» in Late Ming China
ISBN: 9780820471303 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. One of the most precarious and daunting tasks for sixteenth-century European missionaries in the cross-cultural mission frontiers was translating the name of -God- (Deus) into the local language. When the Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) introduced the Chinese term Shangti as the semantic equivalent of Deus, he made one of the most innovative cross-cultural missionary translations. Ricci s employment of Shangti was neither a simple rewording of a Chinese term nor the use of a loan-word, but was indeed a risk-taking -identification- of the Christian God with the Confucian...
