Mother Zion in Deutero-Isaiah: A Metaphor for Zion Theology
ISBN: 9781433121579 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Mother Zion in Deutero-Isaiah: A Metaphor for Zion Theology offers the unique perspective that personified mother Zion in Deutero-Isaiah is not just a metaphor used for a rhetorical purpose but a cognitive metaphor representing Zion theology, a central theme in the Book of Isaiah. The author deftly combines the methods of metaphor theory and intertextuality to explain the vital but often overlooked conundrum that Zion in Deutero-Isaiah is an innocent mother, unlike the adulterous wife in other prophetic books. This interpretation offers a vital corrective to the view of women in the...

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...

The Matthean Community and the World: An Analysis of Matthew's Food Exchange
ISBN: 9781433100833 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This study of the Matthean narrative uses the interpretive lens of food exchange to explore the Matthean community s relationship with the wider world. While many studies depict this community as withdrawing from or in conflict with the larger society, James P. Grimshaw s focus on the daily need for food reveals a community that, while distinct, progressively integrates itself into the larger Jewish and Gentile society and the natural world. In addition, this view of community corresponds to the view of a God who actively provides for and relates to all creation. Grimshaw s alternative...

The Vanishing Hebrew Harlot: The Adventures of the Hebrew Stem Znh
ISBN: 9780820472768 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Vanishing Hebrew Harlot is written with two objectives: First, to recover the core meaning of the Hebrew stem ZNH as a complex of non-Yahwist rituals, deities, institutions and beliefs prevalent in ancient Israel and Judah. With this understanding, the author assigns the translation value -participate in non-Yahwist religious praxis- to ZNH. The second objective is to understand how this core meaning came to be encrusted with promiscuity, prostitution, and detestable things, and, above all, with adultery, a capital offense, as well as with religious contamination and its...

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...

God as an Absent Character in Biblical Hebrew Narrative: A Literary-Theoretical Study
ISBN: 9780820478289 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Although the Hebrew Bible as a whole is centered on God and God s relations with Israel, the character of God appears in most biblical stories only indirectly. How are modern readers to make sense of this paradox? God as an Absent Character in Biblical Hebrew Narrative establishes a set of literary methods that both academic and non-academic readers can use to understand the character of God, who is the single most important character in Hebrew Bible narrative and, strangely, absent from the majority of it."

This book is an informed, focused, deep, and creative analysis of the topic of (im)politeness applied to Jesus in Matthew s Gospel, with in-depth conclusions and analysis about the Matthean Jesus (im)politeness. This study utilizes innovative methodological approaches regarding the analysis and interpretation of the subject in Matthew s Gospel, finding similarities with the language and (im)polite engagements of other first-century Greco-Roman characters and the Matthean Jesus in similar contexts. The (Im)Polite Jesus would make an excellent addition for studies on...

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...

The Christian Gospel and Its Jewish Roots: A Redaction-Critical Study of Mark 2:21-22 in Context
ISBN: 9781433107023 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 189 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Christian Gospel and Its Jewish Roots goes against the tendency to interpret Scripture in ways that separate Christianity and Judaism. Through a redaction-critical analysis of the two sayings on the -new- and the -old- (Mark 2:21-22), the author argues that Mark does not leave his readers with a complete break between Jesus and his Jewish heritage. Rather, the Evangelist opens a ray of hope that the gospel and its Jewish soil are ultimately reconcilable, not fatally antagonistic. With thorough and incisive study, this work reaches the conclusion that standing at the literary center...

From John of Apamea to Mark's Gospel: Two Dialogues with Thomasios: A Hermeneutical Reading of Horáō, Blépō, and Theōréō
ISBN: 9781433126161 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 163 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. From John of Apamea to Mark's Gospel: Two Dialogues with Thomasios: A Hermeneutical Reading of Horao, Blepo, and Theoreo combines two theological fields of investigation. The first is related to the Patristic theology of Eastern Syrian Christianity and the second resides in the field of Biblical theology. The research articulates the two fields, which complement each other through a logic exposition in that the theological conceptions of John of Apamea serve as the hermeneutical reading of the verbs of visual perception in the Markan Gospel.

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...

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...

ISBN: 9781433122682 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The world of the Bible is a textual world. Its composition and intertextuality are what make it a representation of reality. To understand biblical world making, it is important to understand how biblical books are made and read. The Textual World of the Bible explores the patterns of figuration in biblical composition and the way in which these patterns are read within the Bible (inner-biblical exegesis). This book is an excellent choice for courses in biblical theology and hermeneutics.

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,...

The Marcan Portrayal of the «Jewish» Unbeliever: A Function of the Marcan References to Jewish Scripture- The Theological Basis of a Literary Construc
ISBN: 9780820474830 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. One of the most lamentable aspects of Christendom s history has been the long-standing antipathy of some of its members toward persons of the Jewish faith. However, the writer of Mark s gospel did not intend to promulgate such antipathy. Parker s groundbreaking re-assessment of how the evangelist applies Jewish scriptures serves to establish the true nature of Mark s unfavourable depiction of Judaism s custodians as a theological construct. The overriding purpose behind Mark s caricature of Jesus compatriots was to explain the presence of -faulty- belief, or even unbelief, among a Gentile...
