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 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...

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.

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...

You Have Not Spoken What is Right about Me: Intertextuality and the Book of Job
ISBN: 9780820456522 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book, an intertextual study of the book of Job in general and the first cycle of poetic speeches in particular, addresses the dialogical character exhibited by the speeches of the book of Job a subject that prior Joban scholarship has failed to explore adequately. It seeks to establish intertextuality as a method by which one can profitably examine the biblical texts. By applying this method, the study argues that the speeches in Job deliberately employ references to biblical texts both from Job and from other books in order to present a debate concerning divine righteousness."

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.

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.

The relationship between theology and praxis is an important subject that requires further attention from biblical scholars.

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...

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...

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...

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. 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...

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...
