The book's central question is: What happens when text becomes an image? In response, the study explores how biblical ideas are articulated in and...

Born Again and Beyond
ISBN: 9781498216326 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Description: Born Again and Beyond identifies and interacts with various theological blind spots in Evangelicalism--such as its naive rationality, its faulty understanding of the nature of both Scripture and the gospel, and its emphasis on salvation as an event rather than a process. At the same time, Born Again and Beyond recognizes the real goodness that evangelicalism has brought to the world. Whether it be caring for the outcast and underprivileged, or insisting that one can have a personal relationship with God in Christ, Evangelicalism has certainly played a key role in the advancement...

Retelling the Torah: The Deuternonmistic Historian's Use of Tetrateuchal Narratives
ISBN: 9780567080950 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Deuteronomistic Historian patterned more than four dozen of his narratives after those in Genesis-Numbers. The stories that make up Genesis-Numbers were indelibly impressed on the Deuteronomistic Historian's mind, to such an extent that in Deuteronomy-Kings he tells the stories of the nation through the lens of Genesis-Numbers. John Harvey discusses the eight criteria which may be used as evidence that the given stories in Deuteronomy-Kings were based on those in Genesis-Numbers. Unified accounts in the Deuteronomistic History, for instance, often share striking parallels with...

Clothes
ISBN: 9781138158283 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Clothes protect our vulnerable skin and they keep us warm or cool. They help us show that we are young or old, rich or poor, at work or play, and whether we may be good to know. But though they are basic, much as food and shelter are - and also may be beautiful - they have long had a bad press in serious, moral and philosophical writing. The main reason for this is that they are external to us, a cover we may hide behind, and one on which some people spend too much money, perfecting a pompous plumage of vanity: also they, and the fashions for them, may not last long. Nonetheless, when we...
