Liturgical Press Genesis Volume 2 NEW COLLEGEVILLE BIBLE COMMENTARY OLD TESTAMENT 2
Book SynopsisVolume 2Trade ReviewJoan Cook gives us a clear explication of the complex interwoven stories of Genesis. She highlights the character traits of these pioneers of our faith, follows the threads of various themes throughout the book, and relates the details to ancient Near Eastern culture. An enlightening book.Irene Nowell, OSB, Adjunct Professor of Theology, St. John�s University School of TheologyWith deep knowledge of the ancient Near East and its customs, and with sensitivity to the contours of the biblical stories, Sr. Joan Cook opens up the book of Genesis, passage by passage, in stimulating terms. She shows how Genesis invites us into its narratives of puzzlement, of unbearable pain, and of joyful amazement in living in relationship with God. Delving into Genesis with Cook�s commentary will help readers appreciate the providence of a God who continues to guide us--we who share the same dignity and frailties of our ancestors in faith.Robert D. Miller II, Associate Professor of Old Testament, The Catholic University of AmericaSr. Joan Cook, S.C. provides a sweeping and accessible commentary on the Book of Genesis through the lens of historical-critical and canonical criticism, which also takes into account the theological arc of the book. The commentary and biblical text are helpfully broken up into five sections that demonstrate the development of the plot and could be especially useful for lectio divina. Her immersion in the culture and language of Genesis helps her to illustrate important connections between Abraham and Joseph in the Hebrew and the type-scene that connects Isaac and Jacob with later biblical figures. She highlights important theological principles such as humanity being made in the image and likeness of God, and the book has useful index to the Catechism of the Catholic Church that will also help those trying to connect Genesis to important theological principles. The commentary helps the reader see the unwavering obedience of Abraham, the complexity of Jacob, and the wisdom of Joseph inTable of ContentsContents Abbreviations� � 4 THE BOOK OF GENESIS Introduction� � 5 Text and Commentary� � 11 � � �The Primeval Story (1:1–11:28)� � 11 � � �The Ancestral Story, Part 1: Abraham and Sarah (11:29–25:18)� � 36 � � �The Ancestral Story, Part 2: Isaac and Rebekah (25:19–28:9)� � 75 � � �The Ancestral Story, Part 3: Jacob and His Wives (28:10–36:43)� � 84 � � �The Ancestral Story, Part 4: The Joseph Story (37:1–50:26)� � 110 Conclusion� � 151 Review Aids and Discussion Topics� � 152 Index of Citations from the Catechism of the Catholic Church� � 156 Maps� � 159 �

Liturgical Press Micah 37 Wisdom Commentary Series 37
Trade Review"The offer of the Wisdom Commentary, with its accent on feminist reading, is welcome and much needed. Julia O�Brien has invested her entire academic career in a probe of that question, so that she is peculiarly equipped to author such a commentary. Her reading of Micah-that is, reader-centered-is enormously rich and perceptive. She shows how the question of gender justice and injustice permits us to see clearly so much in the prophetic text that we have otherwise missed. Her work is a remarkable advance in our reading of the prophet."Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary"A commentary that pays careful attention to the construction of power, based on gender, economic status, or social class, offers interpretive insights that other commentaries easily miss. Julia O�Brien situates the book of Micah in the Persian period, in between the book�s narrative setting in the lifetime of Micah the prophet and later reading communities, including our own. In this location she finds the generative tension between ancient context and contemporary reading, between the prophetic cry for justice and the author�s scribal privilege. The result is a challenge to Micah�s present readers to find their own place within the power dynamics of their worlds and identify paths toward a greater sense of equity for everyone. O�Brien�s Micah will encourage its readers not just to hear the prophet but to participate in the prophetic task."Mark McEntire, Professor of Biblical Studies, Belmont University"O�Brien accomplishes an exegetical feat. Her Micah commentary offers fresh, lucid, and sensitive exposition that documents why feminist interpretation matters. Micah, according to O�Brien, challenges androcentric habits, nurtures intersectional perspectives, and dreams of a world beyond the countless structures of domination. In O�Brien�s hands the book of Micah turns into a theo-cultural resource for seekers of just relationships and a world of peace."Dr. Susanne Scholz, PhD, Professor of Old Testament, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University"Micah�is details and exceptionally well written, organized, presented, informed that will be greatly appreciate by clergy, student, and non-specialist general readers alike."Willis M. Buhle,�The Midwest Book Review"O�Brien is an adept commentator, tracing intertextual connection and pointing out literary features of the text (including many Hebrew feminine forms). This commentary fulfills well the aims of the series."Anthony R. Petterson, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly"O�Brien interprets the book of Micah against both the backdrop of a historical context and through a modern literary lens. O�Brien�s combination of these approaches results in an admirable balance between historically contextualizing Micah�s theological claims and considering the contemporary implications these pronouncements have for modern readers."Biblical InterpretationTable of ContentsContents List of Abbreviations� � ix Acknowledgments� � xi List of Contributors� � xiii Foreword: “Tell It on the Mountain”—or, “And You Shall Tell Your Daughter [as Well]” � � �Athalya Brenner-Idan� � xv Editor’s Introduction to Wisdom Commentary: � � �“She Is a Breath of the Power of God” (Wis 7:25)� � xix � � �Barbara E.

Liturgical Press The Honey of Souls Cassiodorus and the Interpretation of the Psalms
Trade Review"This engaging book draws the reader in to the world of psalm interpretation that reflects the experience of Christians in Late Antiquity, when the reception of Scripture, and especially of the Psalms, was conditioned by oral tradition, liturgical performance, and prayer. The commentator comes alive in Olsen�s account, which folds the salient details of translation, symbolism, historical context, and transmission into a seamless narrative. His analysis of Cassiodorus�s contributions is enriching for specialists and informative for less expert readers."Susan Leslie Boynton, Professor of Music, Historic Musicology, Columbia University"Derek Olsen�s conversational approach belies a serious scholarly study of one of the great figures of Western monasticism. He introduces us to Cassiodorus�s seminal commentary on the Psalter by narrating the earlier influences on his thinking, his strategies for interpreting the psalms, and his legacy in art, music, and glossed psalters. By presenting history as story, Olsen enables his readers, whether familiar with Cassiodorus or not, to encounter this great scholar in fresh and memorable ways."Sue Gillingham, Professor of the Hebrew Bible, University of Oxford"This authoritative study of Cassiodorus�s Explanation of the Psalms is an engaging and scholarly guide to one of the most influential works in the medieval church. As well as being a thorough and very readable exploration of Cassiodorus�s important book, The Honey of Souls takes the reader on a captivating journey through the intellectual world of late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, tracing the transmission of knowledge and learning and demonstrating with great skill the centrality of the Psalms to the life and worship of the early medieval church. In this book, Derek Olsen provides a fascinating insight into a rich, profound, and now largely unfamiliar way of reading the Psalms, one that reveals the unexpected layers of meaning upon meaning to be found within these well-loved texts."Eleanor Parker, Brasenose College, University of Oxford"Olsen has produced an important study, one that belongs in every academic library. Highly recommended."Catholic Library World"Olsen examines how the Psalter functioned not only as liturgical prayer, but as a pedagogical resource, a rhetorical model, and a part of the material culture in religious communities. Though Olsen�s work may be read out of pure intellectual interest, his examination of time and culture that is in many ways very different from ours, gives an occasion for a deeper reflection on the forces and habits that form - and that we hope will form - the life of Christian communities today."The Living Church"Writing in an engaging conversational style, Olsen brings his readers on a fascinating journey through the years when late antiquity was beginning to merge into the early medieval period. Olsen�s learned yet accessible presentation of a work that influenced people�s understanding of the psalms for at least five centuries is an immensely valuable resource.Anaphora"This work deserves to be perused and pondered over time, read and re-read."WorshipTable of ContentsContents List of Abbreviations� �vii Introduction� �ix Chapter One: The Psalter, a Bible in Miniature� �1 Chapter Two: Technological Challenges� �27 Chapter Three: Cassiodorus and His Work� �61 Chapter Four: An Initial Glance at the Explanation of the Psalms� �91 Chapter Five: Cassiodorus and the Interpretive Framework� �114 Chapter Six: The Preface to the Commentary� �147� Chapter Seven: Editing Augustine and Reading the Scriptures� �181 Chapter Eight: A Thorough Reading of Psalm 87� �220 Chapter Nine: Five Psalms—Short Takes� �232 Chapter Ten: The Legacy of Cassiodorus� �274 Bibliography� �305 Index� �309
