The story of Noah's Ark is well known - in fact, it turns out that variations of the tale are told all over the world. The author poses the question: is it possible that the great flood really happened? In seeking an answer the reader is taken around the world, is introduced to obscure ancient languages, meets strange marine creatures, and encounters religion, folklore, archaeology and science. This is a challenging read, but a very rewarding one, if taken at a steady pace. There is much here to enjoy and to wonder at.

Johannine text because the usual terminology for mimesis is missing.

This volume is the first organized study on the concept of mimesis in the Johannine
literature....

The author presents a new approach to the study of manna, which does not concentrate only on one particular representation of the bread from heaven (especially Ex 16). Additionally, he investigates the interconnections between Ps 78:23-25, Wis 16:20-13; 19:21 and Jn 6:22-59 and he explores the new ideas of each of these texts. He also strongly asserts that Hellenistic Judaism, represented by the Book of Wisdom, is not -a second-class Judaism-. This fact is proved with the example of manna as the food of immortality, an idea not introduced by Christians in the Fourth Gospel, but already...

IS A TRUTHSEEKER REALLY REQUIRED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN RELIGION AND SCIENCE OR IS THE GENESIS CREATION ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE ALTOGETHER?
