Oxford University Press Inc Oxford Handbook of the Book of Revelation
Book SynopsisThe Book of Revelation holds a special fascination for both scholars and the general public. The book has generated widely differing interpretations, yet Revelation has surprisingly not been the focus of many single-volume reference works. The Oxford Handbook of the Book of Revelation fills a need in the study of this controversial book. Thirty essays by leading scholars from around the world orient readers to the major currents in the study of Revelation. Divided into five sections-Literary Features, Social Setting, Theology and Ethics, History of Reception and Influence, and Currents in Interpretation-the essays identify the major lines of interpretation that have shaped discussion of these topics, and then work through the aspects of those topics that are most significant and hold greatest promise for future research.Trade ReviewThis volume is a standout in the "companion/handbook" genre. The effort and expertise of the editor are everywhere apparent, from the selection and organization of the topics, to the choice of contributors. He probably also is responsible for the consistently focused discussions, which are always interesting and never veer off topic (unlike so many other works in this genre). This is essential reading for all NT scholars. * Scott D. Mackie, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly *While there are several edited books on Revelation, none is quite like this one. The Oxford Handbook of the Book of Revelation stands out as a very diverse blend across several perspectives. It offers a wide range of views and robust bibliography on a variety of interpretative issues. * Flavio Prestes III, Berrien Springs, Michigan , Andrews University Seminary Studies *an excellent handbook which summarises comprehensively the current approaches and debates and provides many fresh insights and avenues for further research * C. Stenschke, Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses *All in all, the handbook provides a profitable overview of the essential issues * Margarette Strauss, Theologische Revue *There are several positive features provided in this handbook ... this volume should be welcomed to the academic discussion. * Taman Turbinton, Journal of the Oxford Graduate Theological Society *Table of ContentsPreface Contributors Abbreviations 1.

Faithlife Corporation James Verse by Verse
Book SynopsisJames's letter is famous for its practical wisdom and its heart for gospel transformation reflected in action. James is like Proverbs in the New Testament - but written as a letter, reflecting the New Covenant of Christ. It advises believers facing cultural challenges in the diaspora how to approach practical issues like trials and suffering, the proper use of the tongue, and poverty and wealth from a worldview shaped by Christ. Stated simply, it teaches believers about living life in God's world by God's rules. In James Verse by Verse, the late Grant R. Osborne invites readers to delve into this uniquely structured, immensely practical book. James is all about what early Christians called "the Way" and, as such, holds a unique place in the New Testament. This commentary will help modern readers embrace James as a distinctively Christian letter, full of wisdom for everyday life.

Gefen Publishing House Who Really Was the Biblical Elijah?
Book SynopsisDr Israel Drazin reveals fascinating information about Elijah. Among much else, he reveals that the Bible depicts him as being overzealous, hardly ever showing an interest in helping people, and totally different than the Elijah who appears in the legends of post-biblical literature. In these he is kind, and generally very friendly to people. God was not satisfied with the biblical Elijah and God criticised and punished him. Were the fifteen events in which Elijah was involved miracles or natural events? Most are easy to explain as natural events; some are more difficult to do so. Did God order Elijah to perform the acts? The Bible does not say so. The only times that Elijah was ordered by an angel or God to do something was when he was told to go somewhere, and these instructions could be understood as Elijah having the idea. Nearly all Elijahs acts were done because of his overzealous love of God and his abhorrence of idol worship, and apparently show no warm feelings toward people. Yet, the Biblical book Malachi is held by many to prophesy the coming of the prophet Elijah centuries after his death or ascension to heaven. This, despite the fact, as Dr Drazin shows, Malachis prophecy does not seem to deal with the messianic age, but with a resolution of the problems caused by intermarriage. Malachi states, Behold, I will send to you Eliyah the prophet before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. He will turn the heart of fathers to children, and the heart of children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction. These words have nothing to do with a messianic age and the legendary Elijah who generally helps people in distress is totally different from the overzealous biblical Elijah with whom God was displeased.

Cambridge University Press Friendship and Virtue Ethics in the Book of Job
Book SynopsisThis book is for scholars and students of Bible, religion, philosophy, and ethics. It provides a new approach to the Book of Job that incorporates philosophy and ethics in its treatment of friendship, and it discusses such topics as tragedy and moral formation, narrative ethics, and virtue and human flourishing.Trade Review'A highly significant contribution to the current interest in similarities between the Hebrew Bible and the virtue ethics tradition deriving from Aristotle, this is a fine analysis of friendship in Job. A penetrating, elegant, and profoundly important study.' John Barton, Emeritus Oriel and Laing Professor of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture, University of Oxford'The topic of friendship in the book of Job has been waiting to receive its scholarly due for a long time. Dr. Vesely's study admirably fills the gap, as she effectively uses Aristotle and, more broadly, virtue ethics to navigate the minefield of friendship in Job. It is a foundational treatment.' William P. Brown, William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary'Patricia Vesely's Friendship and Virtue Ethics in the Book of Job is an important interdisciplinary work … an important contribution to both biblical studies and theological ethics.'

Book SynopsisTchavdar S. Hadjiev is a Lecturer in Old Testament at Belfast Bible College and the Institute of Theology, Queen's University Belfast, UK.Trade ReviewThis guide has the potential to be a very useful resource for teachers and students, and anyone interested in studying the books of Joel, Obadiah, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah. ... readers will benefit from the additional resources provided at the end of each chapter for further study of various aspects of these books. * Vetus Testamentum *These prophetic books do not come top of the list for Old Testament study. Fortunately, in Hadjiev we have a master teacher who lucidly opens up their value for his readers. In addition to providing an amazing digest of all the latest research, he also gives guidelines to pick one’s way through the various opinions. As a bonus he also offers sensitive comments on approaches to their modern interpretation. * H. G. M. Williamson, Regius Professor of Hebrew Emeritus, University of Oxford, UK *In this concise and extremely helpful volume, Hadjiev proves to be an exemplary guide: clearly and carefully helping the reader navigate through a host of complex issues, while offering an invaluable introduction to the vast literature on these prophetic books. For scholars and students alike, this volume should be first off the shelf when exploring these minor prophets. * Brad Anderson, Dublin City University, Ireland *Hadjiev is a knowledgeable, judicious and lucid guide to this group of prophetic books and to the sometimes thorny terrain of their scholarly study. This introduction manages to be extremely thorough while being easy to navigate: anyone looking for an orientation to these four books will find here a clarity and analytical precision which make it easy to get down to work.

Zondervan Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ
Book SynopsisJesus Christ entered into the history of our world. Christianity, therefore, has historical basis. The backbone of history is chronology. Whereas history is a systematic account of events in relation to a nation, institution, science, or art; chronology is a science of time. It seeks to establish and arrange the dates of past events in their proper sequence. Thus chronology serves as a necessary framework upon which the events of history must be fitted. In this book (the author) attempts to establish certain fixed dates in our Lord''s life. - Dr. Harold W. Hoehner. Dr. Hoehner has gathered a vast amount of data, both from Scripture and extrabiblical sources, to support his conclusions concerning key dates in the life of our Lord, among them: - The Date of Christ''s Birth - The Commencement of Christ''s Ministry - The Duration of Christ''s Ministry - The Year of Christ''s Crucifixion He carefully documents his position and compares the date available--including a study of Greek words

Book SynopsisThe renowned scholar, Anglican bishop, and bestselling author widely considered to be the heir to C. S. Lewis contemplates the central event at the heart of the Christian faith—Jesus’ crucifixion—arguing that the Protestant Reformation did not go far enough in transforming our understanding of its meaning.In The Day the Revolution Began, N. T. Wright once again challenges commonly held Christian beliefs as he did in his acclaimed Surprised by Hope. Demonstrating the rigorous intellect and breathtaking knowledge that have long defined his work, Wright argues that Jesus’ death on the cross was not only to absolve us of our sins; it was actually the beginning of a revolution commissioning the Christian faithful to a new vocation—a royal priesthood responsible for restoring and reconciling all of God’s creation. Wright argues that Jesus’ crucifixion must be understood within the much larger story of God’s pu

Collins effectively demonstrates how such issues are morally complex.”—David Atkinson, Church Times“A wise, insightful, and often surprising discussion of the relevance (and sometimes irrelevance) of the Bible for significant ethical debates of our day.”—Bart D. Ehrman, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill“In this engaging study of the conflicting and discordant values found in the Bible, one of the world’s foremost scholars of the Hebrew Bible confronts us with hard truths. Brimming with promise for ecumenical and inter‑religious conversations, his book offers a constructive program for wrestling with this tradition.”—Candida Moss, author of Divine Bodies“This remarkable volume takes on the considerable task of determining what the Bible actually says about various issues of contemporary concern apart from the facile and tendentious rhetoric that surrounds them. The author examines these topics in an evenhanded way, then turns to the text itself, its context, and other relevant authorities. This is an excellent, balanced, and important book.”—Randall Balmer, Dartmouth College“Too many people think they know what biblical values are without actually having read the Bible. In this wise and insightful book, John Collins shows us what it really says on contested moral issues.”—John Barton, University of Oxford“With accessible prose and provocative conclusions, What Are Biblical Values? offers a concise account of how to read (and not read) biblical texts in relation to a host of contested issues. It challenges readers to transcend the division between historical studies and normative ethics.”—Eric Gregory, Princeton University

Oxford University Press Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines
Book SynopsisBooks, audiotapes, and classes about yoga are today as familiar as they are widespread, but we in the West have only recently become engaged in the meditative doctrines of the East--only in the last 70 or 80 years, in fact. In the early part of the 20th century, it was the pioneering efforts of keen scholars like W. Y. Evans-Wentz, the late editor of this volume, that triggered our ongoing occidental fascination with such phenomena as yoga, Zen, and meditation. Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines--a companion to the popular Tibetan Book of the Dead, which is also published by Oxford in an authoritative Evans-Wentz edition--is a collection of seven authentic Tibetan yoga texts that first appeared in English in 1935. In these pages, amid useful photographs and reproductions of yoga paintings and manuscripts, readers will encounter some of the principal meditations used by Hindu and Tibetan gurus and philosophers throughout the ages in the attainment of Right Knowledge and Enlightenment.

Oxford University Press The Bible A Very Short Introduction Very Short
Book SynopsisVery Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringThe Bible is one of the world''s most read and most influential books. It has provided many rules for people to live by, and has shaped our language and our shared beliefs in ways that have both drawn communities together and fueled bitter disputes and conflicts. Having played a major role in the development of Western culture, the Bible continues to exert an enormous influence over millions of lives.This Very Short Introduction explores the material, cultural, and religious history of the Bible. Looking first at how the books of the Bible came to be written down and collected as authoritative sacred texts, John Riches goes on to show how they were produced and distributed across the world, and how they have been read and interpreted by differing communities in different languages. Riches compares how Jewish and Christian communities have interpreted the same passage of the Bible, and looks at some of the strikingly varied readings a very short book like Galatians has received over 2,000 years. Finally, he explores post-colonial and feminist readings of the Bible, and concludes by surveying the uses of the Bible in art, music, poetry, and politics.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.Trade ReviewReview from previous edition clear and lively . . . a distinguished addition to the series * Christopher Rowland, University of Oxford *Very Short John Riches' book may be, but it is not simple - nor could it be. It is a masterly reduction, without minimizing the problems: indeed, it exposes them as they need to be exposed. * Canon Eric James *John Riches makes the Bible's strong vitality abundantly apparent * Tom Butler, Bishop of Southwark *John Riches reminds us that one of the most read books in the world - the Bible - is now most widely read in unfamiliar places - South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, the Philippines, and Peru - by poor and marginalized people. * Gerald West, University of Natal *This lively book will be read with profit and delight by a wide range of readers. The author's many examples of the ways the Bible has been used and misused in different parts of the world make fascinating, and sometimes disturbing reading. * Graham Stanton, King's College, London *Table of ContentsList of illustrations 1: The Bible in the modern world: classic or sacred text? 2: How the Biblical books were written 3: The making of the Bible 4: The translation, production and distribution of the Bible 5: Jewish and Christian readings of the binding of Isaac 6: Galatians through history 7: The Bible and its critics 8: The Bible in the post-colonial world 9: The Bible in politics 10: The Bible in high and popular culture 11: Conclusion References Further reading Index of biblical references General index
