Cambridge University Press The Theology of the Book of Genesis
Book SynopsisR. W. L. Moberly's The Theology of the Book of Genesis examines the actual use made of Genesis in current debates, combining close readings with discussions of hermeneutical principle to uncover what constitutes good understanding and use of Genesis. Moberly seeks to enable responsible theological awareness and use of the ancient text today, highlighting Genesis' enduring significance.Trade Review'This little book is one of the most perceptive and probing discussions of the theological issues found in the book of Genesis. Combining great erudition with a highly accessible and engaging style and an eye for the deeper meaning, Walter Moberly is not afraid to challenge a consensus, to dig beneath a cliché, or to relate the ancient text to perennial existential issues in a way that few scholars do. Reading this volume cannot but deepen your understanding of the Bible.' Jon D. Levenson, Albert A. List Professor of Jewish Studies, Harvard Divinity School'Readers will find that one of the most useful aspects of the book is the way in which it engages with writers who have used Genesis negatively rather than positively. It is a demonstration of why Genesis continues to be important for Jewish and Christian faith and practice.' Church TimesTable of Contents1. What is a 'theology of Genesis'?; 2. On reading Genesis 1-11; 3. Genesis 1: picturing the world; 4. Genesis 2-3: Adam and Eve and 'the fall'; 5. Genesis 4: Cain and Abel; 6. Genesis 6-9: cataclysm and grace; 7.

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Companion to the Hebrew BibleOld Testament Cambridge Companions to Religion

Providing an up-to-date 'snapshot' of scholarship, it includes essays, specially commissioned for this volume, by twenty-three leading scholars.

Cambridge University Press Methods for Exodus Methods in Biblical Interpretation
Book SynopsisMethods for Exodus is a textbook on biblical methodology.

Describing each methodology, the volume also explores how the different methods relate to and complement one another. Each chapter includes a summary of the hermeneutical presuppositions of a particular method with a summary of the impact of the method on the interpretation of the book of Exodus. In addition, Exodus 1â2 and 19â20 are used to illustrate the application of each method to specific texts. The book is unique in offering a broad methodological discussion with all illustrations centered on the book of Exodus.Table of ContentsIntroduction Thomas B. Dozeman; 1. Literary and rhetorical criticism Dennis T. Olson; 2. Genre criticism Kenton L. Sparks; 3. Source and redaction criticism Suzanne Boorer; 4. Liberation criticism Jorge Pixley; 5.

Cambridge University Press The Elements of New Testament Greek
Book SynopsisSince 1914 Cambridge has published The Elements of New Testament Greek, a best-selling textbook for scholars and students of the Bible. The original book by Nunn was replaced and succeeded in 1965 by J. W. Wenham's book of the same title; now Jeremy Duff has produced a new book to continue this long-established tradition into the twenty-first century. Learning Greek is a journey of many steps. In this book each of these steps is explained clearly, and reviewed using questions and exercises. Lessons are ordered so the most important aspects of Greek are learnt first and the vocabulary consists of the most commonly occurring words in the New Testament. Hundreds of examples cover every book of the New Testament and there is a New Testament passage to translate in almost every chapter. An audio CD containing vocabulary lists, reading passages and paradigms is also available to accompany this book. Free software and teaching resources are also available at the book's website.Trade Review'Duff's book is an outstanding example of bringing forth treasure both old and new. Undoubtedly this will become the first choice textbook for those who are really serious about teaching Greek. This is a timely and much needed resource for those who teach biblical Greek.'

Cambridge University Press A Bibliography of Greek New Testament Manuscripts 109 Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series Series Number 109
Book SynopsisFacsimiles, photographic reproductions, collations, and studies of the textual character of many of the 5,000 or so manuscripts of the Greek New Testament have been published, but it is only with this book, first published in 2000, that a much-needed bibliography of them has been made available. This considerably expanded and revised edition of J. K. Elliott's 1989 A Bibliography of Greek New Testament Manuscripts marks a substantial increase in the number of titles and references. Some 5,000 new entries have been added, thereby doubling the size of the First Edition. The titles of books and articles are predominantly those published in the last 150 years. The titles are set out in the customary categories of papyri, majuscules, minuscules and lectionaries as classified in the conventional Gregory-Aland register.Trade Review'The massive amount of information collected here will make this a valuable research tool for all those engaged in any way with textual criticism in NT study.'

Cambridge University Press A Textual History of the King James Bible
Book SynopsisIn this 2005 book, David Norton, editor of the new critical edition of the King James Bible, shows how the text of the most important Bible in the English language was made and how it changed in the hands of printers and editors.Trade Review'His scholarship cannot be bettered … In the face of centuries of highly coloured myths, his dogged and committed analytic detail is greatly to be welcomed.' David Daniell, University College London'… meticulously researched and clearly written … This is a tremendous achievement and a valuable addition to biblical literature.' Contemporary Reviews'In recounting the history of the textual transmission of the English Bible, Dr Norton has produced an impressive piece of work. Not only does he provide a mass of information on a much fuller scale than has ever been attempted before, but he presents it with admirable clarity, using such manuscript evidence as is available, and full lists and tables of variant readings as well as the resources of computer technology. In short, it is a milestone in its particular field, and other scholars and students will find it indispensable.' J. R. Porter, Church Times'… work of awe-inspiring diligence. … one can have nothing but praise for a beautifully written and handsomely presented piece of work.' Epworth Review'His book will be the definitive work on the subject for a long time to come, and is unlikely to be superseded unless and until significant new evidence comes to light …' Churchman'… detailed analysis … formidable attention … an essential reference.'
