Trophy Girl and Other Poems
There are various poems and themes in this collection. 'Trophy Girl' explores the superficiality of fashion. On the other hand 'Reply from an Agony Aunt' is a cry for help from a young woman with low self-esteem. It is back to childhood days in 'Pinkeens' and a beautiful description of the garden in 'A Summer's Day.' There is sadness in 'Stopping Bye' the house of her birth and the feelings of a child is described in 'Lost Child.'Then there are several poems about birds and animals and their antics - the greedy jackdaw, and the terns on Sandymount strand getting ready for their annual trip south. The caring diligent cat in 'Mother Cat', the huge alligator with enormous jaws looking for food-which could be you, because that is what you are to him. No smiles there, he is what he is with no apologies.'Be Here Now' the guru advises the reader to be in the moment or it is gone forever. Then there is 'Needen' the playful donkey who surely lives in the moment.
Queen Kat, Carmel and St Jude Get a Life
A compulsively readable story which has achieved classic status. Three very different girls from the same country town share an inner-city house during their first year out of school.
The Portrayal of Christ in the Syriac Commentary on the Diatessaron
For a long time the Diatessaron has drawn the interest of modern scholars. Some of the problems related to the Syriac Harmony of the Gospels have been solved. Others still remain in dispute. The Syriac Commentary on the Diatessaron, attributed to Ephraem (306-373), is one of the most important witnesses to the wording of the Harmony. Unfortunately, most of the surviving Syriac folios of the text have been discovered only recently. Consequently, no detailed study on the Commentary has been undertaken yet. It is the aim of this study to present this scholarly demand. This Oxford dissertation deals with the questions of the difficult process of the Commentary's transmission and analyses both the Trinitarian and Christological understanding of its author. By way of a comparison with the "genuine" Ephraem, this study argues that the Commentary in its present form is a compilation from the hand of one of his disciples. However, it serves as an important source on the theological discussions in the Edessa of the late fourth and early fifth centuries.
The Old Testament Short Story
The recent emphasis placed on the study of narrative has found its way into theological studies. Essentially, this volume is an exploration of narrative and of the significant fact that the Jewish and Christian communities have continued over the centuries to tell stories that they reverence as the Word of God.
Sepher Torath Mosheh
In few areas of critical Old Testament research is the chasm between evangelical and mainstream scholarship as broad as in discussions of the book of Deuteronomy. The issues relate not only to the provenance of the book, but also to its origin and composition, its ideology, its ethic, and its relationship to other biblical books. Evangelicals differ in their responses to historical-critical scholarship. Some avoid it as much as possible; others consider neither critical methodologies nor the results of critical scholarship to be threatening to their evangelical convictions. The essays in Sepher Torath Mosheh consist of invited papers that were presented at a special colloquium on the book of...
The Lord’s Prayer in the Early Church
The Lord s Prayer is arguably the most important prayer in Christianity. Still, exactly how the prayer developed in the life of the early church has remained hidden in ancient manuscripts. Hammerling s thorough and ground-breaking examination of these works reveals that early authors enthusiastically expounded upon its power and mystery, claiming that the prayer uttered by Christ belonged at the core of Christian ritual and beliefs. Many early church writers labeled it a "perfect summary of the gospel" and joyously referred to it as a pearl of great price and worth.
The Oxford Handbook of the Bible in Orthodox Christianity
"The Oxford Handbook of the Bible in Orthodox Christianity investigates the various ways in which Orthodox Christian, i.e., Eastern and Oriental communities have received, shaped, and interpreted the Christian Bible. The handbook is divided into five parts, including the introduction ("Balancing Tradition with Modernity") that sets the tone and scope of the volume. Part I: Text The Orthodox Church has never codified the Septuagint or any other textual witnesses as its authoritative text. Textual fluidity and pluriformity, a characteristic of Orthodoxy, is demonstrated by the various ancient and modern Bible translations such as, Syriac, Coptic, Ethiopian, Armenian, etc. Part II: Canon Unlike...
Scripture in Transition
This collection of 46 essays in honour of Raija Sollamo illuminates the dynamic nature of scripture in the Second Temple Period. The Septuagint as the first biblical translation, the living traditions in the Hebrew scriptures, and the Dead Sea Scrolls are investigated to enrich our knowledge of scripture that was and is in transition.
Interpreting Israel's Scriptures
Many readers find exegeting a passage from the Old Testament to be a mysterious process. How should one begin? What methods should one use? Written in a pragmatic style, Interpreting Israel's Scriptures guides the reader by offering concrete methods for exegesis that are illustrated by numerous examples and accompanied by well-chosen references to secondary sources. This English translation of the 2012 original French version of Richelle's book has been expanded and revised and has been reorganized to have a tripartite structure: the making of the text, the various facets of the text, and "the reader in front of the text." The book is designed for use in exegesis courses or for personal stud...
