Matthew's Gospel and Judaism in the Late First Century C.E.: The Evidence from Matthew's Chapter on Parables (Matthew 13:1-52)
ISBN: 9780820479385 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 277 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Following a thorough examination of the structure, language, and argument of Matthew s discourse on parables, Anthony O. Ewherido underscores its primary relevance to the ongoing discussion on the social context of Matthew s Gospel. The convincing analysis of the textual evidence and study of some social and historical trends in Christianity and Judaism in the post-70 C.E. era inform Ewherido s conclusion that at the time the Gospel was written to its predominantly Jewish-Christian community, that community had parted ways with Judaism and stood at an ideologically irreconcilable distance...

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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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...

Ancient Near Eastern Literature and the Hebrew Scriptures about the Fatherhood of God
ISBN: 9780820471280 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Ancient Near Eastern Literature and the Hebrew Scriptures About the Fatherhood of God discusses some of the main -father-god- concepts of the people of the Ancient Near East, then examines the eighteen occurrences of God s fatherhood specifically mentioned in Hebrew Scripture. From these sources, the book develops a theology of God s fatherhood that honors both ancient and modern scrutiny. Although many studies have explored the subject of the fatherhood of God mostly from the perspective of nonbiblical disciplines, and through the lens of Greco-Roman mythology this book takes into...

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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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...

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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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-...

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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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 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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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.
