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."

«Resolviendo»: Narratives of Survival in the Hebrew Bible and in Cuba Today
ISBN: 9781433107047 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 119 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The story of Rahab (Joshua 2) has traditionally been interpreted as the account of a foreign woman and prostitute who changes the course of her life when she converts to Yahweh. In return for her faithful act of saving the spies sent by Joshua to search the land of Canaan, Rahab and her family obtain salvation once her city of Jericho is destroyed. The story of Jael (Judges 4:17-23) has commonly been read as Jael s violent act of killing Sisera, King Jabin s commander in chief, with a tent peg to his temple while he was asleep. Jael is perceived as someone who fails to fulfill the hospitality...

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...

Rereading the «Shepherd Discourse»: Restoring the Integrity of John 9:39-10:21
ISBN: 9781433101908 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 217 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The history of scholarship narrates a complicated past for the interpretation of the -Shepherd Discourse- in the Fourth Gospel. Both the internal and contextual integrity of John 9:39-10:21 have been compromised by a misapplied analogy dividing the passage into a parable and explanation structure, and by reading models that favor historical approaches. As a result, the images and figures encountered in the discourse have not been allowed their full imaginative impact and the tendency is to look outside the Gospel for their referents and explanations. The meaning of the -Shepherd Discourse-...

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...

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...

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...

Moving Beyond Symbol and Myth; Understanding the Kingship of God of the Hebrew Bible Through Metaphor
ISBN: 9780820486611 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. For hundreds of years, scholars have debated the meaning of Jesus' central theological term, the 'kingdom of God'. Most of the argument has focused on its assumed eschatological connotations and Jesus' adherence or deviation from these ideas. Within the North American context, the debate is dominated by the work of Norman Perrin, whose classification of the kingdom of God as a myth-evoking symbol remains one of the fundamental assumptions of scholarship. According to Perrin, Jesus' understanding of the kingdom of God is founded upon the myth of God acting as king on behalf of Israel as...

Paul, the Community, and Progressive Sanctification: An Exploration Into Community-Based Transformation Within Pauline Theology
ISBN: 9780820479286 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. What role does the Christian community play in the process of growing in Christian maturity? This book argues that in Pauline theology the redeemed community is a necessary means for the progressive sanctification of the individual believer, an idea that is largely misunderstood in parts of the Western church. It evaluates foundational theological considerations traditionally omitted from sanctification studies and places them within the context of Pauline theology. Included are the missiological nature of holiness, the initiatory character of God, the creation of the new humanity as...

One Upon the Throne and the Lamb: A Tradition Historical/Theological Analysis of Revelation 4-5
ISBN: 9781433100710 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 241 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. One upon the Throne and the Lamb: A Tradition Historical/Theological Analysis of Revelation 4-5 is an analysis of the tradition history underlying Revelation 4-5 and the way John employed these traditions. The hypothesis is that John incorporated themes from the Hebrew Bible and Jewish tradition, especially apocalypticism and Greco-Roman themes, to present his vision of God and Christ. In the process, John has transformed the traditions to present a unique and exalted vision of both God and Christ.

Simon of Cyrene: A Case of Roman Conscription
ISBN: 9780820456867 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In this book, Stephanie Buckhanon Crowder reexamines the role of Simon of Cyrene during the crucifixion as presented in the Gospel of Luke. Engaging in cultural studies as an interpretive base, Crowder maintains that because Simon was forced or conscripted to carry the cross, his actions cannot be interpreted as those of a disciple who voluntarily followed Jesus. Further, since the gospel writer Luke was under duress and could not openly record such activity, he engaged in a rhetoric of subversion in order to protect himself. Luke s literature thus bespeaks of his own socio-cultural and...

Reading Green; Tactical Considerations for Reading the Bible Ecologically
ISBN: 9781433135347 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Reading Green: Tactical Considerations for Reading the Bible Ecologically operates on the premise that the Bible itself does not directly address the current ecological crisis and that expecting it to do so is anachronistic, for there was no ecological crisis on the agendas of biblical authors as they penned their works. The true challenge in the field is engaging biblical texts that do not present a positive ecological message (e.g., the stories of the flood and the plagues), or that seem to focus their messages so narrowly on human subjects and their interests that they...

The Covenant Motif in Jeremiah's Book of Comfort: Textual and Intertextual Studies of Jeremiah 30-33
ISBN: 9780820495088 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 177 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Covenant Motif in Jeremiah s Book of Comfort: Textual and Intertextual Studies of Jeremiah 30-33 examines Jeremiah s promise of a new covenant that God will interiorize his law into people s hearts. This in-depth syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic study of selected texts in Jeremiah 30-33 comprises the foundation for a superb biblical theology of the new covenant. God s pledge that this covenant is -not like the one I made with your fathers- is explored in relation to the Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic covenants. Tiberius Rata makes a theologically and hermeneutically balanced...

The World of the Bible
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.

Moses and God in Dialogue: Exodus 32-34 in Postbiblical Literature
ISBN: 9780820469058 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In Exodus 32-34, through a series of dialogues, Moses persuades God to spare the Israelites from destruction after they have made and worshipped a golden calf. The significance of this passage was not lost on ancient interpreters. At the heart of their concerns was the relationship between Moses and God, as well as the extent to which the Divine could be swayed by human reason and passion. For some, the idea that God could be moved by human efforts was welcome, providing hope in difficult times. For others, it was alarming; after all, God was not only supposed to be all-powerful, but immune...

The Significance of the Ark Narrative: Literary Formation and Artistry in the Book of Chronicles
ISBN: 9781433106637 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Significance of the Ark Narrative: Literary Formation and Artistry in the Book of Chronicles argues that there is only one author responsible for the second part of the ark narrative (1 Chr 15-16). The lists and unique material that are found within the narrative play an important literary role in the work. Other parts of the book of Chronicles, such as the genealogies (1 Chr 1-9) and David s organization of the cult and civil servants (1 Chr 23-27) are also open to redaction criticism. The findings suggest that they also require a single author. This makes the role of the clergy...

Wilderness in the Bible: Toward a Theology of Wilderness
ISBN: 9780820471389 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Wilderness in many parts of the globe is under considerable threat from human development. This has important ramifications not only for fauna and flora but also for human well-being. Wilderness in the Bible addresses this ecological crisis from a biblical and theological perspective. It first establishes the context of a biblical study of wilderness and then passes to an analysis of the attitudes towards in the canonical biblical record. This provides the biblical basis for the development of a theology of wilderness for the twenty-first century. The Australian wilderness is taken as...
