Inter-Varsity Press John: Tyndale New Testament Commentary
Book SynopsisAmong the Gospels, John's is unique. Its structure incorporates long conversations and extended debates, and much of its content is not found elsewhere. Jesus' relationship to the Father and his teaching on the Holy Spirit are given special prominence. Ultimately, faith, believing in Jesus, is at the centre - with signs highlighted to provoke faith and stories of those who responded to Jesus as examples of faith. Colin Kruse shows how the Fourth Gospel weaves its themes of belief and unbelief into its rich Christology. This exegetical commentary on the Gospel of John is part of the Tyndale New Testament Commentaries series designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means.

Liverpool University Press Bede: Commentary on the Gospel of Luke
Book SynopsisCommenting on the Bible was the principal way in which early medieval Christians conducted the work of theology; commentaries also open a window for modern readers onto the way in which these people strove to understand humanity, the world and history through complex acts of layered winterpretation and cross-referencing within the sacred text. Bede's commentary on Luke, composed in the first half of the 710s, is a turning point in his career as an exegete. It is ambitious in its length, but also in its subject-matter, because the life of Christ is the key to the meaning of the entire Bible. To expound a Gospel also entails engaging with a formidable body of commentary by the Church Fathers. In Bede's case, the Luke commentary marks as well the moment when he publically asserts his own intellectual authority by displaying his mastery of the Patristic tradition, and by deftly confronting criticisms of his earlier works. Finally, Bede's treatment of Luke was highly influential in the Carolingian Renaissance, and in the compilation of the Glossa Ordinaria in the twelfth century. This translation is thus an important resource for historians, as well as scholars interested in the role of the Bible in medieval culture.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Bohlau Verlag Klubprotokolle der Christlichsozialen und
Book SynopsisDie Klubprotokolle von Christlichsozialen und Großdeutschen erlauben einen Blick hinter die Kulissen der Politik in der Gründungsphase der Republik. Die bürgerlichen Parteien waren 1919 ganz eindeutig in der Defensive. Sie versuchten zu retten, was vom Zusammenbruch der alten Ordnung noch zu retten war. Erst mit der Niederlage der Räterepublik im Nachbarland Ungarn erwachte ihr Selbstbewusstsein wieder. Dabei waren es anfangs gerade die Wiener, die für Nachgiebigkeit gegenüber den Sozialdemokraten eintraten. Die westlichen Länder, die plädierten für eine härtere Linie. Bei den Christlichsozialen begann sich früh der Gegensatz zwischen den beiden Priester-Politikern Ignaz Seipel und Johan Nepomuk Hauser abzuzeichnen und die besondere Stellung des niederösterreichischen Bauernbundes. Die oppositionellen Großdeutschen wiederum waren hin- und hergerissen zwischen Antiklerikalismus im Gefolge Georg von Schönerers und bürgerlicher Solidarität.
