Living Reflections
ISBN: 9780975908235 / Angielski / Miękka / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection of essays by Dr. Gregory J. Laughery, the Director of the Swiss branch of L'Abri Fellowship, explores many important issues at the heart of current discussions about the veracity of Scripture and the future of the church. Reductionism and polarization offer deceptive promises of resolution, and all too often function as the patron saints of Christian thought in disputes over philosophy, theology, language, interpretation, and their interactions. Living Reflections moves in a different direction. It establishes a space for dialogue, mediates one-sided extremes, and depicts a...

The Psalms
ISBN: 9781608999552 / Angielski / Miękka / 476 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The psalms--the prayers of the chosen people, the prayers of the people of God--have a spontaneity and timeless pertinence which is unique. They are an integral part of Christian liturgies; yet they pose difficulties for many who sense that they have sprung from a cultural milieu which is totally alien to our own. This problem can only be solved by a careful study of their origins, their literary structures, their content, and their intent. A vast literature has grown up around the psalter. But modern biblical discoveries, research, and scholarship have opened the way to a greater...

The Case for Mark Composed in Performance
ISBN: 9781608998586 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Synopsis:
Is it possible to make a case that the Gospel of Mark was not composed by a single man from scattered accounts but in a process of peoples telling Jesus story over several decades? And what can we say about the tellers who were shaping this story for changing audiences? After an introduction showing the groundwork already laid in oral tradition research, the case begins by tracing the Mark we know back to several quite different early manuscripts which continue the flexibility of their oral ancestors. The focus then turns to three aspects of Mark, its language, which is... Synopsis:

New Testament Theology: Extending the Table
ISBN: 9781556352935 / Angielski / Miękka / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Synopsis:
New Testament theology ought to be both descriptive and constructive-this is the argument of New Testament Theology: Extending the Table. According to Isaak, New Testament theology is descriptive in that it deals with the accounts that people narrate of their experience with Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the light of Easter. It is constructive in that it joins the diverse testimonies of the New Testament writers into a textured and thick space within which contemporary followers of Jesus continue to be shaped by the ancient yet living Spirit of God. Isaaks approach is historical,... Synopsis:

All Power to the Lamb
ISBN: 9781612151144 / Angielski / Miękka / 598 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Book Summary If you were God, writing a book you wanted men to understand, would you write it in such a way that men would have to make up meaning in order to understand it, or would you write it in such a way that those that seek to understand could actually come to a knowledge of its truth (Mt 7:7)? The present commentary takes the position that God wrote Revelation in such a way that with sufficient effort and intellectual honesty, readers can understand it. Certainly there are symbols in Revelation, but when God does use symbols, He provides inspired interpretations of the symbols. This...

Christian Origins and Cultural Anthropology
ISBN: 9781608999774 / Angielski / Miękka / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bruce Malina provides the foundation for in-depth biblical interpretation using the tools of cultural analysis. As one of the pioneers in this field of biblical studies, Malina has taken the work of sociologist Mary Douglas, interpreted her ""Group/Grid"" model of cultural analysis, and applied it admirably to biblical studies and interpretation. He refines a new methodology of scholarly biblical interpretation. Since cultures differ, proper interpretation of one culture by another requires a method to compare and contrast the cultures. He has designed such methods and models using the...

God and Grace in Philo and Paul
ISBN: 9789004307810 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In God and Grace in Philo and Paul, Orrey McFarland examines how Philo of Alexandria and the Apostle Paul understood divine grace. While scholars have occasionally observed that Philo and Paul both speak about God's generosity, such work has often placed the two theologians in either strong continuity or stark discontinuity without probing into the theological logic that animates the particularities of their thought. By contrast, McFarland sets Philo and Paul in conversation and argues that both could speak of divine gifts emphatically and in formally similar ways while making...

The Kābôd of Yhwh in the Old Testament: with Particular Reference to the Book of Ezekiel
ISBN: 9789004303225 / Angielski / Twarda / 482 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this study on the kābod of YHWH biblical texts are approached from a canonical perspective, and the synchronic approach prevails over the diachronic. Ben Sira characterized Ezekiel as the prophet who saw the appearance of the glory of God. This characterization is not based on the number of occurrences of kābod in Ezekiel. The peculiarity of Ezekiel is that kābod is used almost exclusively as a hypostasis of YHWH. Ezekiel's description of the kābod of YHWH is more elaborate than any other Old Testament writer's, and it highlights the dual and...

The Adaptable Jesus of the Fourth Gospel: The Pedagogy of the Logos
ISBN: 9789004302501 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Adaptable Jesus of the Fourth Gospel, Jason S. Sturdevant argues that the Gospel of John portrays Jesus as an adaptable teacher, who accommodates to different people in various ways to a singular end, to bring each to faith. In the same way, the Logos accommodates to humanity via the incarnation. Adaptability serves as both an interpersonal and universal category. Early Christian interpretations of John, especially that of John Chrysostom, describe the Jesus of John by echoing characterizations of the ideal Greco-Roman pedagogue, adapting to his diverse students. By looking to...

The New Covenant and New Covenant Theology
ISBN: 9781928965343 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book, Fred Zaspel explores the provisions of the New Covenant and expounds its implications for life and worship as well as for biblical interpretation. By doing so, he provides a clear guide for under-standing the "big picture" of the Bible and an exulting appreciation of the glorious privileges that belong to every Christian. He also shows that the inauguration of the New Covenant is the hinge of biblical and redemptive history and that its promises define the nature of the privileges of the people of God and their status in Christ.

ISBN: 9788763537834 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores the conflicting perceptions that Christians held of the meaning and significance of Jewish books at the beginning of the 16th century - a time when, following their general expulsion from many countries and territories, there were fewer Jews in western and central Europe than in the previous thousand years. The book tells the story of the so-called Pfefferkorn affair: a tenacious campaign led by the German Johann Pfefferkorn - previously a Jew and converted to Christianity - to confiscate and burn all Jewish post-biblical literature in the Holy Roman Empire in the years...
