Charlotte M Yonge: Religion, Feminism and Realism in the Victorian Novel
ISBN: 9783039113392 / Angielski / Miękka / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Charlotte M Yonge was one of the bestselling novelists of the Victorian period; she published prolifically during a lengthy writing career that lasted from the early 1850s to the 1890s, was highly regarded by contemporaries such as Tennyson and Kingsley, and continued to be widely read up till the 1940s even by unlikely figures such as Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West.

Theologies of the Mind in Biblical Israel
ISBN: 9780820478487 / Angielski / Twarda / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Did the Hebrew mind work differently from those of people in the Western tradition of civilization? This long-discredited question still lingers in biblical studies. Theologies of the Mind in Biblical Israel approaches the topic of the Israelite mind from a new direction, exploring how the biblical texts themselves, especially Proverbs and Deuteronomy, describe the working of the mind. It demonstrates that the much-discussed role of memory in the Bible is just one part of a general understanding that in the realm of knowledge God and humanity are rivals."

Is God Man's Friend?: Theodicy and Friendship in Elie Wiesel's Novels
ISBN: 9780820479262 / Angielski / Twarda / 127 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Elie Wiesel s novels The Town Beyond the Wall, Twilight, The Gates of the Forest, The Accident, A Beggar in Jerusalem, and The Judges win literary prizes in France, but often receive poor reviews in the United States. Lambert analyzes them clearly and cogently via two key themes: theodicy and friendship. She shows how the angry, embittered Holocaust survivor protagonists approach the God who seems to have broken His covenant at Auschwitz. This approach to God is made through friendships, some real and some mystical. Her analyses now render Wiesel s novels accessible to...

The Significance of the Ark Narrative: Literary Formation and Artistry in the Book of Chronicles
ISBN: 9781433106637 / Angielski / Twarda / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Significance of the Ark Narrative: Literary Formation and Artistry in the Book of Chronicles argues that there is only one author responsible for the second part of the ark narrative (1 Chr 15-16). The lists and unique material that are found within the narrative play an important literary role in the work. Other parts of the book of Chronicles, such as the genealogies (1 Chr 1-9) and David s organization of the cult and civil servants (1 Chr 23-27) are also open to redaction criticism. The findings suggest that they also require a single author. This makes the role of the clergy...

The Shepherd-Flock Motif in the Miletus Discourse (Acts 20:17-38) Against Its Historical Background
ISBN: 9781433105708 / Angielski / Twarda / 401 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Shepherd-Flock Motif in the Miletus Discourse (Acts 20:17-38) Against Its Historical Background provides a comprehensive survey of the use of the shepherd-flock motif in the ancient world for the readers of the New Testament. This review of Ancient Near Eastern, Jewish, Greco-Roman, and Christian sources is guided by a motific approach that integrates the concept of metaphor, Semantics, and the comparative method. A chief concern of this study is to apply this knowledge to the study of Luke-Acts, especially the Miletus Discourse (Acts 20:17-38). The shepherd-flock motif appears to...

Flannery O'Connor and Teilhard de Chardin: A Journey Together Towards Hope and Understanding about Life
ISBN: 9781433106668 / Angielski / Twarda / 161 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Flannery O Connor, the renowned short-story writer, lived and fought a tumultuous battle with lupus erythematosus most of her adult life. In her last five years, she sought insightful and helpful sources to alleviate her struggle with the disease. Among these sources were the ideas and thoughts of a Jesuit-paleontologist-mystic by the name of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, an individual who opened doors of witness to the secular world and attracted suspicious questioning from his Catholic superiors. Like a moth drawn to a flame, Flannery O Connor, a devoted Thomist, increasingly admired the...

A Biblical Theology of Gerassapience
ISBN: 9781433107856 / Angielski / Twarda / 267 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ancient cultures, such as that of the Hebrews, commonly associated wisdom with advanced years. In A Biblical Theology of Gerassapience the author investigates the validity of this correlation through an eclectic approach including linguistic semantic, tradition-historical, and socio-anthropological methods to pertinent biblical and extra-biblical texts. There are significant variations in the estimation of gerassapience (or -old-age wisdom-) in each period of ancient Israel s life that is, in pre-monarchical, monarchical, and post-monarchical Israel. Throughout this study, appropriate...

Subjectivity of «Différance»: A «Poiesis» of Deconstruction of Subjectum, Deus, and Communitas
ISBN: 9781433111853 / Angielski / Twarda / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Subjectivity of Differance, Heecheon Jeon carefully explores the question of living well together in the midst of myriad differences and otherness in our living world. Living well together is not a concept void of naive togetherness of various subjectivities, but rather the disclosure of the repressive subjectivity to welcome -strangers to ourselves- by sacrificing the very subjectivity. To this end, Jeon not only delves into the deconstruction of subjectivity, but also searches for poietic possibilities of subjectivity without the subject for living well together in Jacques...

Charlotte Brontë's Atypical Typology
ISBN: 9781433108556 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Charlotte Bronte s Atypical Typology traces Charlotte Bronte s reinscription of the Bible through her four novels, paying special attention to her use of three strategies: gender reversal; the undermining of traditional notions of God s providential control of human history; and the recasting of several -otherworldly- locales into settings within this world. Although many scholars acknowledge the importance of Bronte s use of biblical material, and a few may scrutinize specific passages, the full body of Bronte s adult work has never been examined in this manner. Indeed, a full...

The Narrative Effect of Book IV of the Hebrew Psalter
ISBN: 9781433100925 / Angielski / Twarda / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Narrative Effect of Book IV of the Hebrew Psalter takes seriously the canonical form to the text and suggests that there is a narrative effect that occurs as a reader of the Hebrew Bible encounters the canonical Psalter. Rather than reading the book of Psalms as an anthology, the reader can find lexical and thematic connections within the text that tell a story. The turning point of that story comes in Book IV (Psalms 90-106) when the text emphasizes the kingship of YHWH rather than David and a return to the covenant of Moses.

Human Experience and the Triune God; A Theological Exploration of the Relevance of Human Experience for Trinitarian Theology
ISBN: 9783039113903 / Angielski / Miękka / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The overarching aim of this work is to develop a new account of the doctrine of the Trinity. The author proposes that such an approach is overdue because contemporary trinitarian theology pays insufficient attention to the fact that theology as linguistic discourse is inescapably embedded in human experience. Hence the critical analysis of existing trinitarian constructions (Gunton, LaCugna, Moltmann) is impressively sharp. In response Nausner develops an interstitial methodology, working between experience and revelation, refusing both revelational and experiential positivisms. In dialogue...

The Gospel of the Narrative 'We': The Hypertextual Relationship of the Fourth Gospel to the Acts of the Apostles
ISBN: 9783631605059 / Angielski / Twarda / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The work analyses the current state of research on the problem of the relationship of the Fourth Gospel to the Synoptic Gospels. It proves that the Fourth Gospel, which was written c. AD 140 150, is a result of systematic, sequential, hypertextual reworking of the Acts of the Apostles with the use of the Synoptic Gospels, more than ten other early Christian writings, Jewish sacred Scriptures, and Josephus works. The work also demonstrates that the character of the disciple whom Jesus loved functions in the Fourth Gospel as a narrative embodiment of all generations of the Pauline,...

Borges, Swedenborg and Mysticism
ISBN: 9783034308113 / Angielski / Miękka / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Jorge Luis Borges was profoundly interested in the ill-defined and shape-shifting traditions of mysticism. However, previous studies of Borges have not focused on the writer s close interest in mysticism and mystical texts, especially in the Swedish mystic Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772). This book examines the relationship between Borges own recorded mystical experiences and his appraisal of Swedenborg and other mystics. It asks the essential question of whether Borges was a mystic by analysing his writings, including short stories, essays, poems and interviews, alongside scholarly writings...

Newman's Visionary Georgic: A Reading of Parochial Sermons
ISBN: 9780820463773 / Angielski / Twarda / 143 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Building upon the evidence that John Henry Newman s Parochial Sermons is a georgic (Lams, 2004), the current book defines and discusses the visionary georgic, a subset of the genre whose exemplars include Lucretius De rerum natura and Wordsworth s The Prelude. Newman s visionary georgic defends Christian revelation against the rationalistic subjectivism that tended to displace religious faith by Wordsworthian self-exploration, leading to the Victorian redefinition of literature as secular scripture. Subjects discussed include Newman s relations with readers, his sermonic...

Die Dame Im Gruppenbild ALS Christlicher Gegenentwurf Zum Repressiv-Asketischen Traditionsstrang Des Christentums: Eruierung, Vergleich Und Bewertung

Ziel dieser diskursanalytischen Untersuchung ist, anhand von zwei exemplarischen Texten kontrare Auffassungen des Christentums herauszuarbeiten, diese zu vergleichen und auf Basis psychologischer Theorien zu bewerten. Ein lebensbejahendes, sinnenfrohes Konzept des christlichen Glaubens wird durch die Interpretation des Romans Gruppenbild mit Dame von Heinrich Boll ermittelt. Dieser Auffassung des Christentums gegenubergestellt wird das weltfeindlich-asketische theologische Konzept in Soren Kierkegaards Abhandlung Der Liebe Tun.

The Bible Through Metaphor and Translation: A Cognitive Semantic Perspective
ISBN: 9783906769820 / Angielski / Miękka / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume assembles selected proceedings of a conference held at the University of Leuven in July 1998. It sheds light on the tension between change and preservation in religious language. More specifically, the volume focuses on metaphor and translation as two sources of linguistic (semantic) change, which both play an important role in the continuous process of interpreting and re-interpreting discourse, i.e. the Bible. Although operating on different grounds with different intensity and range, both processes face the same challenge of finding new, historically and co(n)textually...

A Will to Believe: Shakespeare and Religion
ISBN: 9780199572892 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On December 19, 1601, John Croke, then Speaker of the House of Commons, addressed his colleagues: "If a question should be asked, 'What is the first and chief thing in a Commonwealth to be regarded?' I should say, 'Religion.' If, 'What is the second?' I should say, 'Religion.' If, 'What the third?' I should still say, 'Religion.'" But if religion was recognized as the "chief thing in a Commonwealth," we have been less certain what it does in Shakespeare's plays. Written and performed in a culture in which religion was indeed inescapable, the plays have usually been seen either as evidence of...
