The New Testament is a document designed to guide believers in their relationship with God and their behavior toward others. This Evergreen Devotional New Testament (EDNT) is the result of 42 years of labor translating NT Greek into a common devotional language. It is a candid rendering presented in chronological order by books in five sections. This devotional text is true to the original language, but is easy to read and understand. Scripture means exactly what the first person who heard it understood it to mean, not what culture, tradition, or translators interpret the words to...

In der gegenwartigen Diskussion um den Status der Tora in der nachexilischen Zeit spielt das Proverbienbuch so gut wie keine Rolle. Demgegenuber hat die altere Forschung immer wieder auf punktuelle Verbindungen zwischen dem Proverbienbuch und dem Deuteronomium sowie anderen Texten (Ps 119; Ps 19) hingewiesen. Die vorliegende Studie geht diesen Verbindungen am Beispiel von Prov 2 nach und stellt damit ein Kapitel in den Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung, das eine herausragende Stellung fur die erste Sammlung des Spruchebuches (Prov 1-9) hat.
Ausgehend von einer traditionsgeschichtlichen...

August Hermann Francke begann seine akademische Tatigkeit in Halle als Professor des Griechischen und der orientalischen Sprachen. Ein Schwerpunkt seines wissenschaftlichen wie seines praktisch-erbaulichen Interesses lag auf Fragen der Exegese und der biblischen Hermeneutik.

Current conflicts in both national and international arenas have undermined the natural, organic concept of nationhood as conventionally espoused in the nineteenth century. Conceiving a Nation argues that the modern understanding of the nation as a contested concept--as the product of a fluid and ongoing process of negotiation open to a range of livable solutions--is actually rooted in the Bible.

This book draws attention to the contribution that the Bible makes to political discourse about the nation. The Bible is particularly well suited to this open-ended discourse...

Representing the fruit of several decades of research, this major work questions standard approaches to Jesus studies and rethinks our knowledge of the historical Jesus in light of recent progress in the...

Bernard Lonergan's notion of the 'universal viewpoint' is at once a timely and an unpopular topic. The very term seems to violate the postmodern concern for indigenous contexts, and yet, given the development of information technologies, world courts and international charters of rights, the need for universal frameworks has never been greater. This study by Ivo Coelho shows Lonergan's approach to be a complex blend of dialectic and dialogue that has much to offer to a discourse on transcultural issues.

Coelho shows Lonergan's universal viewpoint to be an important hermeneutical...
