ISBN: 9780446545266 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Bible is full of narratives about sexual encounters, and modern-day readers have shown a widespread interest in what, exactly, it says about the subject.

Still, many clergy and lay people continue to look upon these words (even the most cryptic, confusing, and bizarre ones) as authoritative literal statements. In addition, these misinterpreted texts are constantly used to "legislate morality" and to promote "family values"--selectively and...

What emerges is a vision of human longing for the triune God which is both edgy and...

The Feminist Question
ISBN: 9781610977623 / Angielski / Miękka / 482 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Endorsements: ""It is difficult to exaggerate the profundity and complexity of the challenge presented to Christianity by contemporary feminism. In this book we finally have an argument that meets this challenge with the seriousness it deserves. Reviewing a vast range of feminist literature, Francis Martin is eminently fair in his analysis. His biblically based criticisms are strong but carefully qualified and are placed in the light of what he argues are some weaknesses in post-Enlightenment thought more generally. A much-needed study, one that will become indispensable reading in the years...

Martin Luther, the Bible, and the Jewish People: A Reader
ISBN: 9780800698041 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The place and significance of Martin Luther in the long history of Christian anti-Jewish polemic has been and continues to be a contested issue. The literature on the subject is substantial, and diverse. While efforts to exonerate Luther as merely a man of his times who merely perpetuated what he had received from his cultural and theological tradition have rightly been jettisoned, there still persists even among the educated public the perception that the truly problematic aspects of Luthers anti-Jewish attitudes are confined to the final stages of his career. It is true that Luthers...

Rediscovering Eve: Ancient Israelite Women in Context
ISBN: 9780199734559 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This groundbreaking study looks beyond biblical texts, which have had a powerful influence over our views of women's roles and worth, in order to reconstruct the typical everyday lives of women in ancient Israel. Carol Meyers argues that biblical sources alone do not give a true picture of ancient Israelite women because urban elite males wrote the vast majority of the scriptural texts. Also, the stories of women in the Bible concern exceptional individuals rather than ordinary Israelite women. Drawing on archaeological discoveries and ethnographic information as well as biblical texts,...
