Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Annotated Key to Lambdin's Introduction to Biblical Hebrew
Book SynopsisLambdin's Introduction to Biblical Hebrew has established itself as a standard textbook in colleges and universities as well as being frequently used by those who wish to teach themselves Biblical Hebrew. The lack of a key to the many exercises in the book has been widely regretted, but this lack is made good with the present publication. Having used Lambdin as a teaching aid for more than ten years, however, Williamson has become aware of some areas in which students still find difficulty. He has therefore supplemented his Key with many further comments and explanations drawn from his teaching experience with the aim of helping readers to a better understanding of both grammar and syntax.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Psalms
Book SynopsisThe Psalms raise many difficult and controversial issues. Who are the enemies in the Individual Lament Psalms? How many Royal Psalms are there and what was the role of the king in the cult? What happened at the Autumn Festival? What makes a Psalm a Wisdom Psalm? Why are the Psalms arranged as they are and how far is it possible to date them? Can we make sense of the often obscure Psalm headings? What light is shed on the Psalms by other ancient Near Eastern texts? These and many other issues are judiciously evaluated by John Day in a wide-ranging volume.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC 2 Peter and Jude
Book SynopsisThese two small texts have often been outshone by other New Testament writings and have sometimes been regarded as of scant importance. Neither of them is easy to understand. Their language is sometimes difficult and the symbolism and biblical allusions are obscure to readers who do not know Jewish apocalyptic literature. Knight demonstrates that they do, however, repay careful study. They reveal a thought-world that is dominated by meditation on biblical literature, and they show how such material was interpreted to deal with problems in the life of certain unknown churches in the first century CE.

Temple Lodge Publishing The Challenge of Lazarus-John: An Esoteric
Book SynopsisThe Gospel of John, distinct from the 'synoptic gospels', is the most esoteric and challenging account of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. John, whose identity has been much debated, mysteriously refers to himself as 'the disciple whom Jesus loved'. But didn't Jesus love each of the twelve Apostles? Indeed, did he not love all human beings? However, the Gospel says only of Lazarus that Jesus 'loved him'. In this profound study, Richard Seddon brings together essential but often overlooked quotations from the work of the philosopher and scientist Rudolf Steiner. Steiner made no claim to divine inspiration, but described how - through the vigorous discipline of inner development - the capacity for spiritual-scientific research could be acquired. Rudolf Steiner, who founded anthroposophy, undertook research into many of the incidents recorded in John's Gospel, and reported his results in lectures given across Europe. In compiling Steiner's various statements, The Challenge of Lazarus-John reveals that John's Gospel not only gives a historical account, but also represents a path of personal development or initiation.After the prelude characterizing Creation, the Gospel describes how the Christ being descended into the physical and spiritual constitution of Jesus of Nazareth at the Baptism. Crossing the threshold between physical and spiritual worlds, the Gospel writer places emphasis on the development of the higher self in freedom, on the rebirth of the soul, and on the raising of Lazarus. An interlude considers the significance of the seven events referred to as 'signs', and the seven 'I am' statements in relation to higher stages of cognition. The remainder of the Gospel is seen as an expression of the seven stages of Rosicrucian-Christian initiation and their reformulation in the process of human evolution described in anthroposophy. This culminates in an examination of the spiritual processes that take place in the constitution of Jesus during the Crucifixion and Resurrection. It is Lazarus-John's personal witness of these events that enables him to write his unique Gospel.Drawing together such insights and interpretations, Seddon has produced a comprehensive monograph that supplements existing biblical commentaries and illumines John's enigmatic Gospel as a truly Christian path of modern initiation - a challenge to all human beings that will remain for millennia to come.

De Gruyter Paulus: Leben und Denken
Book SynopsisDiese zweite, umfangreich überarbeitete und erweiterte Auflage entfaltet das Denken des Paulus vor dem Hintergrund seines Lebens unter Aufnahme der neueren wissenssoziologischen, geschichtstheoretischen und religionsgeschichtlichen Diskussion. Der erste Teil behandelt das Leben und die Briefe, im zweiten Teil folgt eine thematisch strukturierte Darstellung der zentralen Themen des paulinischen Denkens, das so in seiner historischen Genese wie in seiner Systemqualität erfasst wird. Drei Aspekte werden dabei in der Neuauflage ausgebaut und gestärkt: 1) Die Frage nach dem Ort des Paulus in der Religions- und Philosophiegeschichte seiner Zeit. 2) Die Einbindung des Paulus in die Konfliktgeschichte des frühen Christentums. 3) Paulus als theologischer Denker, der den Vergleich mit den Philosophen seiner Zeit nicht scheuen muss. Ziel ist es, ein differenziertes Bild des paulinischen Wirkens und Denkens zu entwerfen, das sowohl seine religionsgeschichtlichen und innerchristlichen Kontexte ernst nimmt als auch die Fähigkeit des Paulus berücksichtigt, neue religiöse Welten zu entwerfen und sie ggf. auch weiter zu entwickeln. Die paulinische Theologie ist weitaus kreativer und komplexer, als sie oft mit der einseitigen Fixierung auf einen jüdischen Hintergrund und/oder die Rechtfertigungs- bzw. Versöhnungslehre dargestellt wird.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Historisches und biblisches Israel: Drei
Book SynopsisSpektakuläre Textfunde sowie methodische Neuansätze zur Erforschung der Literatur- und Religionsgeschichte des Alten Testaments haben unser Bild von Israel und dem antiken Judentum im ersten Jahrtausend v. Chr. auf eine neue Grundlage gestellt. Reinhard Gregor Kratz bietet drei Überblicke zu Gebieten, die von diesen Neuerungen in besonderer Weise betroffen sind: die Geschichte Israels, die Entstehung des Alten Testaments und jüdische Archive. Während die Geschichte Israels und Judas den historischen Rahmen absteckt, in dem die biblische Tradition entstanden ist, widmet sich der dritte Überblick Orten, an denen jüdische Handschriften gefunden wurden (Elephantine, Qumran) oder mit deren Namen sich das Alte Testament verbindet (Garizim, Jerusalem, Alexandria). Im Zentrum steht die noch ungelöste Frage, unter welchen historischen und soziologischen Bedingungen die Hebräische Bibel bzw. das Alte Testament zur heiligen Schrift des Judentums wie des Christentums geworden ist.
