Taylor & Francis Racializing Jesus
Book SynopsisShawn Kelley''s groundbreaking study shows how the major intellectual movements of the modern world, such as Orientalism and romantic nationalism, become infused with the category of race. He then traces the processes through which racially-grounded thinking has influenced modern biblical scholarship.Dynamic and thought-provoking, the book incorporates a wide range of current debate, from critical race theory to the relationship between Martin Heidegger and National Socialism. It will give every student and scholar of biblical studies awareness of the subtle ways in which racial thinking has permeated their discipline, and encourage them to create new modes of biblical analysis.Trade Review'In this brave book, Kelley identifies the role of racist discourse in the foundation and practice of biblical studies ... What is new is a willingness to identify the biblical-studies traditions shared by the National Socialists and today's Christian Churches.' - Robert Beckford, Church TimesTable of ContentsIntroduction; Chapter 1 Racialized discourse; Chapter 2 The Hegelian Synthesis; Chapter 3 Jesus and the myth of the west; Chapter 4 Aesthetic Fascism; Chapter 5 In the Shadow of Heidegger; Chapter 6 Portrait of the Artist as a Young Messiah; Chapter 7 Conclusion;

Taylor & Francis Rape Culture in the House of David
Book SynopsisRape Culture in the House of David: A Company of Men describes a biblical rape culture sustained and maintained by Yhwh and a host of menâfrom royal kings and princes to their relatives, counselors, generals, and servants. This volume reveals that sexual violence in the house of David is not simply perpetrated by its most powerful men. Rather, in the pursuit of power, status, authority, and honor, men form alliances and networks that support the use and abuse of womenâs bodies and valorize sexualized violence against other men. The man who is most capable of sexual violence is Israelâs ideal king.Barbara Thiede deftly addresses the power and contemporary relevance of these narratives and argues that exposing and naming rape culture in biblical literature is essentialâin social, economic, and political realms. This is a meaningful feminist intervention in the field of biblical studies and is of great benefit to graduate students and scholars of religion,Table of ContentsIntroduction: Rape and Rape Culture in the Hebrew Bible: Choosing the Right Words; 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Telling Terror in Judges 19
Book SynopsisTelling Terror in Judges 19 explores the value of performing a reparative reading' of the terror-filled story of the Levite's pilegesh (commonly referred to as the Levite's concubine) in Judges 19, and how such a reparative reading can be brought to bear upon elements of modern rape culture. Historically, the story has been used as a morality tale to warn young women about what constitutes appropriate behaviour. More recently, (mainly male) commentators have tended to write the woman out of the story, by making claims about its purpose and theme which bear no relation to her suffering. In response to this, feminist critics have attempted to write the woman back into the story, generally using the hermeneutics of suspicion. This book begins by surveying some of the traditional commentators, and the three great feminist commentators of the text (Bal, Exum and Trible). It then offers a reparative reading by attending to the pilegesh's surprising prominence, her moral and marital agencyTrade Review"A great deal has been written now on the rape narratives of the Hebrew Bible, subjecting the assumptions of the biblical texts and their commentators to profound critical scrutiny. Helen Paynter’s remarkable book moves the debate forward by offering a reparative reading of the story of the Levite’s pilegesh in Judges 19, in which this ancient victim of rape becomes a prophetic voice addressing the suffering of victims of gender-based violence today. Everyone who seeks to read the Hebrew Bible with moral seriousness must engage with this book." — James Harding, University of Otago, New Zealand"Paynter's modeling of a 'thick reading' of the Judges 19 text and the experience of the woman - sensitively given the name Beli-Fachad or 'Fearless One' by Paynter - is deftly argued and constructed, and serves as a valuable contribution to the scholarship that takes seriously the trauma and violence of both the narrative and of contemporary experiences of women."— Jayme Reaves, Sarum College, UK Table of ContentsAcknowledgements and dedication Introduction Chapter 1: Beli-Fachad in the hands of men Chapter 2: Beli-Fachad in the hands of commentators Chapter 3: Opening up redemptive possibilities Chapter 4: Beli-Fachad as subject and object Chapter 5: Beli-Fachad in her own voice Conclusion Works Consulted Index

Taylor & Francis Resurrection and Reception in Early Christianity
Book SynopsisThis book offers an original interpretation of the origin and early reception of the most fundamental claim of Christianity: Jesusâ resurrection. Richard Miller contends that the earliest Christians would not have considered the New Testament accounts of Jesusâ resurrection to be literal or historical, but instead would have recognized this narrative as an instance of the trope of divine translation, common within the Hellenistic and Roman mythic traditions. Given this framework, Miller argues, early Christians would have understood the resurrection story as fictitious rather than historical in nature. By drawing connections between the Gospels and ancient Greek and Roman literature, Miller makes the case that the narratives of the resurrection and ascension of Christ applied extensive and unmistakable structural and symbolic language common to Mediterranean translation fables, stock story patterns derived particularly from the archetypal myths of Heracles and Romulus. In the courseTrade Review"This is a ground-breaking study of the literary antecedents for the resurrection stories in the Gospels, with wide-ranging implications for Christian history and theology. Never again can the resurrection stories be read and interpreted apart from their ancient literary context." —Dennis Smith, Phillips Theological Seminary, USA"Early Christianity emerged in a world of intense interaction among the devotees of different cults and religions. Narratives, images, ritual practices, and ideas continually crossed the boundaries of religious groups. With the interdependence of ancient religions as his starting point, Richard Miller shows the close relation of the early narratives of Jesus’ resurrection with pre-existing pagan and Jewish narratives of divine translation. This study makes a significant contribution to the study of Early Christianity and the religious trends of the Roman Empire." —Angelos Chaniotis, Professor of Ancient History, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ, USA"Richard Miller's reading of ancient Greco-Roman narratives concerning the disappearance of heroes and demi-gods successfully challenges the traditional reconstructions of the formation of resurrection accounts in the Gospels. Miller moves with theoretical sophistication through an impressive array of ancient texts and shows how early Christian stories about Jesus were developed in the context of literary imitation and emulation that characterized the Mediterranean world in antiquity."—Giovanni Bazzana, Harvard Divinity School, USATable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd King Jamess Bible
Many of my students stumble into vaguely mythological stories in their writing. When I ask them anything about the Bible, they frankly, by and large, don''t know. I don''t particularly blame them for it. But I do think there is a real problem with the education system that has allowed these great stories to disappear, to fade out of the diet everyone gets at school. It''s an essential piece of cultural luggage.- Poet Laureate Andrew MotionWithout an understanding of Biblical stories, readers lose out on much of the richness of English literature, as authors from Milton through T.S. Eliot to Jeanette Winterson draw inspiration from Biblical stories in their own writing. This user-friendly annotated selection of key passages from the King Jamess Bible clarifies the key themes, characters, stories and genealogies for students, offering timelines, a bibliography, and a detailed index for quick and easy reference.The original 1984 version, of whic
