The Meaning of «Works of the Law» in Galatians and Romans
ISBN: 9780820451190 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 317 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Paul s orientation toward the Law of Moses and the Judaism of his day, and the resulting impact upon his theological thought, have remained perplexing issues in New Testament and specialized Pauline studies. This book examines the meaning of Paul s expression -works of the law- in Galatians and Romans as a means toward resolution of these difficult areas. Robert Keith Rapa suggests that rightly apprehending Paul s perspective on -work-, his use of rhetorical and epistolographical communication mechanisms, and his concept of the place of the Law in the redemptive program of God, leads to a...

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...

A Psycho-Spiritual View on the Message of Jesus in the Gospels: Presence and Transformation in Some Logia as a Sign of Mysticism
ISBN: 9781433106583 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 381 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. A Psycho-Spiritual View on the Message of Jesus in the Gospels explores elements of mysticism in the words of Jesus. Four fields are analyzed with the help of two key concepts of mysticism: presence of the divine and transformation of the self. Analyses, semantic and otherwise, reveal alternative understandings on each of the four fields.
Psuche appears as self ( mind-and-heart ) rather than as life, for example, in the Good Shepherd passage (dedicating one s self), or in the saving and losing logia in Mark 8.35 par, calling for transformation. Pneuma in the Gospels... A Psycho-Spiritual View on the Message of Jesus in the Gospels explores elements of mysticism in the words of Jesus. Four fields are analyzed w...

ISBN: 9781498210669 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The themes of these stories are profoundly human themes, capturing the persistent interaction between God and humankind. These narratives invite us to witness the manner in which God enters human community in all of its complexities, struggles, challenges, fears, and ultimately hope. As the narratives unfold, not only is it clear that God will not be restricted by societal and cultural conventions, but the human journey will be generated by faith and doubt, fear and hope, promise and fulfillment.

Not «Who Is on the Lord's Side?» But «Whose Side Is the Lord On?»: Contesting Claims and Divine Inscrutability in 2 Samuel 16: 5-14
ISBN: 9781433119798 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 155 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Second Samuel 16:5 14 is an important text for defining the character of both King David and Yahweh, the God of Israel. In this scene, the points of view of the various speakers battle for control of the narrative, attempting in turn to align their perspective with some aspect of what has been revealed earlier about Yahweh in the larger biblical story. Shimei, relative of the dead King Saul, paints David as a murderer and under a divine curse. Shimei presents himself as God s instrument of truth and vengeance. Abishai, David s nephew, first paints Shimei as a seditionist worthy of death, and...

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...

Legal Friction: Law, Narrative, and Identity Politics in Biblical Israel
ISBN: 9780820474625 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 1110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Legal Friction: Law, Narrative, and Identity Politics in Biblical Israel tracks the mystery of narratives in the Hebrew Bible and their allusions to Sinai laws by highlighting intertextual allusions created by verbal resonances. While the second and the third parts of the volume illustrate allusions to Sinai narratives made by some narratives occurring in the post-Sinaitic era, twenty-three Genesis narratives are analyzed to show that the protagonists were bound by Sinai Laws before God supposedly gave them to Moses, anticipating the Book of Jubilees. Legal Friction suggests...

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,...

Reading the Tapestry: A Literary-Rhetorical Analysis of the Johannine Resurrection Narrative (John 20-21)
ISBN: 9780820444444 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Reading the Tapestry proposes a literary-rhetorical, temporal process of reading the fourth Gospel s resurrection narrative (John 20-21) from the perspective of the implied reader in the text, according to the strategies of the implied author. Informed by narrative criticism and reader response criticism, Larry Darnell George unpacks the narrative and rhetorical devices of the three episodes and twelve scenes and argues that the entire resurrection narrative represents a finely woven tapestry, a coherent unified narrative text on its own terms and as it now stands."

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...

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...

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...

The Breaking of Bread and the Breaking of Boundaries: A Study of the Metaphor of Bread in the Gospel of Matthew
ISBN: 9781433127687 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book investigates the Matthean use of bread and the breaking of bread in light of cognitive conceptual metaphor, which are not only intertwined within Matthew s narrative plots but also function to represent Matthew s communal identity and ideological vision. The metaphor of bread and its cognitive concept implicitly connect to Israel s indigenous sense of identity and religious imagination, while integrating the socio-religious context and the identity of Matthean community through the metaphoric action: breaking of bread. While using this metaphor as a narrative...

Anti-Cultic Theology in Christian Biblical Interpretation: A Study of Isaiah 66:1-4 and Its Reception
ISBN: 9780820486185 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 161 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Anti-Cultic Theology in Christian Biblical Interpretation challenges the widely held view that Isaiah 66:1-4 is a prophetic indictment against temple worship. Through critical analysis of representative interpretations from the Patristic Era, the writings of Martin Luther, and Modern Biblical Scholarship the book reveals the anti-cultic interpretation of these verses to be theologically motivated. The author argues instead that Isaiah 66 contrasts divine and human nature rather than cultic and spiritual worship. This work contributes to the subject of Jewish-Christian relations in a...

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...

Isaac Abravanel on Miracles, Creation, Prophecy, and Evil: The Tension Between Medieval Jewish Philosophy and Biblical Commentary

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...
