Faithlife Corporation Lexham Geographic Commentary on the Gospels
Book SynopsisMany familiar Gospel narratives are filled with geographic details that we gloss over because of our distance from the Holy Land. Yet climate, landscape, natural resources, and other features of geography leave a lasting mark on the societies and cultures that have developed within them. In a world of dirt roads and dry riverbeds, where shepherds watch their flocks in the hills and fishermen mend their nets by the sea, Jesus taught from hill and plain, using the surrounding landscape as the backdrop for his teaching. Jesus' parables and illustrations are often brimming with geographic clues, but the significance of these distinctive details is often lost on us today. The Lexham Geographic Commentary on the Gospels puts readers in the sandals of the disciples as they travel throughout Israel with Jesus, explaining the significance of geography for mining the riches of the biblical text.

Faithlife Corporation Charged with the Glory of God – Yahweh, the
Book SynopsisIsaiah's servant songs reveal a true and better Adam In Charged with the Glory of God, Caroline Batchelder provides a synchronic, theological, and canonical reading of the four Servant Songs in Isaiah (42:1–9; 49:1–13; 50:3–11; 52:13–53:12), showing how they relate to one another and the message of the prophetic book. Reading Isaiah as a compositional unity in conversation with other texts such as Genesis results in a coherent presentation of the mysterious servant. The polemic against idolatry reveals rebellious Israel to be false imagers of God. In contrast, Isaiah's servant is an ideal embodiment of Yahweh's image and likeness. Thus, the servant is a paradigm for those who wish to recapture and realize God's good creation purposes for all humanity. The servant poems are not only a call to reorient oneself as a servant towards God and his creation, but also a map and means for doing so. In this study, Batchelder offers fresh insights from Isaiah for understanding God's true image and its idolatrous counterfeits.

University of Wales Press The Welsh Life of St. David
Book SynopsisThis scholarly edition of The Welsh Life of St David presents the medieval text of the Life of one of the early Christian missionaries of west Wales. More than one recension of the Latin Life written by Rhigyfarch was produced between the end of the eleventh century and the emergence of the abridged version in Welsh written by an unknown author at the start of the fourteenth century. The present annotated text of the Welsh Life is based on that found in the Book of the Anchorite of Llanddewibrefi (c. 1350), and contains a detailed comparison with the earlier Latin version. The comprehensive introduction by D. Simon Evans considers early references to David alongside valid information relating to the Saint in the sixth century, in order clearly to identify the historical David and to outline his significance in an early period of Welsh history. The Welsh Life of St David was first published by the University of Wales Press in 1988.Table of ContentsPrefaceIntroduction The Historical David Early References to David His Life The Latin Texts The Welsh VersionHystoria o Uuched DewiNotesAbbreviations(a) Bibliographical(b) Linguistic(c) MiscellaneousProper NamesVocabulary

Book Synopsis'An entertaining and insightful human story of obsession about books.' Daily Telegraph'A lively tale of historical innovation, the thrill of the bibliophile's hunt, greed and betrayal.' New York TimesThe never-before-told story of one extremely rare copy of the Gutenberg Bible, and its impact on the lives of the fanatical few who were lucky enough to own it.For rare book collectors, an original copy of the Gutenberg Bible - there are only forty-six in existence - is the undisputed gem of any collection. The Lost Gutenberg recounts five centuries in the life of one particular copy of the Bible from its very creation by Johannes Gutenberg in Mainz, Germany, to its ultimate resting place, in a steel vault under the protection of the Japanese government. Margaret Leslie Davis draws readers into this incredible saga, inviting them into the colourful lives of each of its fanatic collectors along the way. Exploring books as objects of desire across centuries, Davis will leave readers not only with a broader understanding of the culture of rare book collectors, but with a deeper awareness of the importance of books in our world.Trade ReviewA thrilling page turner * Daily Mail *An entertaining and insightful human story of obsession about books, and a telling examination of what inspires those who catch the collecting bug. -- Peter Stanford * Daily Telegraph *A lively tale of historical innovation, the thrill of the bibliophile's hunt, greed and betrayal. * New York Times *Davis makes bibliographic history utterly page-turning and absorbing...

Inter-Varsity Press From Pentecost to Patmos: Acts To Revelation: An
Book SynopsisFully revised and updated edition. This companion volume to Craig Blomberg's widely-appreciated Jesus and the Gospels covers the rest of the New Testament, from the Acts of the Apostles to the book of Revelation. It surveys the most crucial matters of introduction in sufficient detail to provide the necessary background for correct interpretation of these New Testament texts. Mindful of the needs and interests of twenty-first-century students, the authors also deal with the structure and contents of each book, and the distinctive exegetical issues, and give pointers to contemporary application. The clear, accessible and up-to-date text includes numerous figures, maps and bibliographies. From Pentecost to Patmos enables readers to come to a better understanding of first-century Christianity and its literature that came to be treated as uniquely authoritative. This will lead to a greater appreciation of the Lord Jesus Christ, worshipped by the early church, often in hostile circumstances and in the face of difficulties remarkably similar to those the church experiences today throughout the world.Trade ReviewReaders will be educated, illuminated, stimulated, and encouraged to reflect on the impact of these vital biblical texts today. This book deserves a wide readership in seminaries and universities. * Steve Walton, professor of New Testament, Trinity College, Bristol, UK *Professors and students will find that this text is well-suited to introduce them to writings that have changed the world. * Thomas R.

Double 9 Books The Book Of Mormon
Book SynopsisThe Book of Mormon, by Joseph Smith, is a holy book in Mormonism and the founding scripture of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). This work of literature is classified as historical, and it is a great collection of ideas which have been condensed into a single draft for readers of all ages to read. As the title character is so self-indulgent, readers are forced to keep reading. Some tales are violent and strange, while others creep up on you and slowly imbibeyou in. Its followers think it is a divinely created record of ancient American peoples. According to him, the Prophet Joseph Smith interpreted whatever appeared on a set of golden plates etched with ancient script and directed to him by an angel named Moroni. The Story of Mormon narrative tells the story of various ancient tribes of people who came to the Americas and interacted with God. This edition of The Book of Mormon is both modern and legible, with an eye-catching new cover and professionally typeset manuscript.
