Surprised by God: Praise Responses in the Narrative of Luke-Acts
ISBN: 9783110221657 / Angielski / Twarda / 345 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Readers of the New Testament have long observed that Luke and Acts contain numerous scenes in which characters praise God. This study offers the first comprehensive analysis of this important narrative motif. Featuring a close reading of Luke-Acts, it draws insights from ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman views about praise of deity, and it compares praise in Luke with praise in two other ancient narratives: Tobit and Joseph and Aseneth. Attention to praise of God sheds light on Luke as historiographer and on his treatment of revelation, healing, conversion, and eschatology.

Reclaiming the Hebrew Bible: German-Jewish Reception of Biblical Criticism
ISBN: 9783110247565 / Angielski / Twarda / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 19th century saw the rise of Biblical Criticism in German universities, culminating in Wellhausen's radical revision of the history of biblical times and religion. For German-Jewish intellectuals, the academic discipline promised emancipation from traditional Christian readings of Scripture - but at the same time suffered from what was perceived as anti-Jewish bias, this time in scholarly robes. "Reclaiming the Hebrew Bible" describes the German-Jewish strategies to cope with Biblical Criticism - varying from an enthusiastic welcome in the early decades, through modified adoption in...

Holy, Holy, Holy: The Story of a Liturgical Formula
ISBN: 9783110207163 / Angielski / Twarda / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In one form or another, the Trisagion, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory," entered Jewish and Christian liturgy at an early stage from Isaiah's account of his vision as recorded in Isaiah 6. Before that happened, however, it is likely that it went through a significant change of meaning from what the Old Testament prophet himself meant by it. Drawing on material that was familiar to him from the worship of the Jerusalem temple, he used it distinctly but characteristically to challenge his audience's view that God would automatically protect them from...

Identity and Ethics in the Book of Ruth: A Social Identity Approach
ISBN: 9783110247602 / Angielski / Twarda / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study demonstrates the importance of including narrative ethics in a construction of Old Testament ethics, as a correction for the current state of marginalisation of narrative in this discipline. To this end, the concept of identity is used as a lens through which to understand and derive ethics. Since self-conception in ancient Israel is generally held to be predominantly collectivist in orientation, social identity theory is used to understand ancient Israelite identity. Although collectivist sensitivities are important, a social identity approach also incorporates an understanding...

Marriage in the Book of Tobit
ISBN: 9783110247862 / Angielski / Twarda / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Apart from Genesis, Tobit contains more information about marriage than any other biblical book. It reflects third-century beliefs and customs yet also serves a didactic function, teaching Diaspora Jews what they should value in their own marriages. This monograph elucidates these elements by asking four questions: 1) Whom should one marry? 2) How does one get married? 3) What role does God play in marriage? 4) What do actual marriages look like? By contextualizing Tobit in light of the Old Testament and relevant Ancient Near Eastern texts, one can appreciate the book's unique claims....

Most of us associate Aphrodite - also known as Venus - with love, beauty, and fertility, but the symbolic value of this goddess is by far more complex than we would have known or dared to believe. The remarkable and unique ancient civilization of the Cypriots is also reflected in their cults and religious perceptions. From the earliest prehistory, a Fertility Goddess and her retinue of deities were worshiped to sustain life dependent on the soil. Gradually the Goddess received the name Aphrodite, who was the goddess of love and considered to originate from ancient Cyprus. The cult...

A brief Prologue by the Church introduces the career of Constantine (from AD 305-337) with scenes from the empires of both west and east, concentrating on Constantines progress to imperial power and inevitably in religious belief. He discovers Christ to be the God who has made him his earthly vice-regent as single Emperor.

The implications of the Creed of Nicaea are revealed in the last part of the play in which it is Constantines mother,...
