If the Foo Shits Wear It
So, if this is your first time at the institute -- howdy. If you are back for more -- howdy too... This edition is a bit different than my other offerings in several ways. One: it's larger. Two: it's quite a bit darker. Three: it is comprised of works that have been judged, sold or preformed. In short this my most professional (as in I did it for fame and fortune) work. Whatever the hell that means. I think I am beginning to get the hang of this self publishing stuff, but, I still have a long way to go before I actually know what I'm doing half the time. The worst part of self publishing is the self part. I'm not a very good editor, and I kind of ignore mechanics like punctuation, grammar, s...
The King James Version at 400
In this collection of essays, thirty scholars from diverse disciplines offer their unique perspectives on the genius of the King James Version, a translation whose 400th anniversary was recently celebrated throughout the English-speaking world. While avoiding nostalgia and hagiography, each author clearly appreciates the monumental, formative role the KJV has had on religious and civil life on both sides of the Atlantic (and beyond) as well as on the English language itself. In part 1 the essayists look at the KJV in its historical contexts—the politics and rapid language growth of the era, the emerging printing and travel industries, and the way women are depicted in the text (and later f...
Translation and Migration
Translation and Migration examines the ways in which the presence or absence of translation in situations of migratory movement has currently and historically shaped social, cultural and economic relations between groups and individuals. Acts of cultural and linguistic translation are discussed through a rich variety of illustrative literary, ethnographic, visual and historical materials, also taking in issues of multiculturalism, assimilation, and hybridity analytically re-framed. This is key reading for students undertaking Translation Studies courses, and will also be of interest to researchers in sociology, cultural studies, anthropology and migration studies.
The Righteousness of God
Advocates of the New Perspective on Paul appeal to the view that "righteousness" in biblical theology is a Verhaltnisbegriff (relational concept). This is the view that "righteousness" does not mean conformity to a norm, nor is it an essentially legal concept; rather, "righteousness" denotes the fulfillment of the demands of a relationship, since the relationship itself is the norm. This relational interpretation of "righteousness" was first put forward by Hermann Cremer in 1899 and exercised a profound influence in biblical scholarship throughout the 20th century. It lies at the root of the New Perspective claim that "the righteousness of God" in Paul is a cipher for God's saving faithfulness to his covenant, a view defended by N. T. Wright, among others. Charles Lee Irons provides a critical examination of Cremer's chief arguments for the relational, covenant-faithfulness interpretation. The author argues instead for the view that "the righteousness of God" in Rom 1:17; 3: 21-22; 10:3; 2 Cor 5:21; and Phil 3:9 is the status of righteousness that comes from God as a gift.
The Obedient Son
It has often been observed that Jesus’ filial obedience is an important Matthean theme. In this work the author argues that the articulation of Jesus as Son of God in Matthew is significantly influenced by the Deuteronomic concept of obedient sonship. After noting the complexities of Matthew’s use of Scripture – including the subtle ways he engages texts – Deuteronomy’s pervasive influence in ancient Judaism and Christianity is considered. It is argued that the requirement of Israel’s covenantal obedience as God’s son(s) is a major concern in Deuteronomy, as well as in other Jewish and Christian texts that appear to echo Deuteronomy. Indeed, it is argued that a pattern can be d...
Conflict & Connection
Discusses a number of Church documents issued by both the Catholic and Protestant Churches, concluding that there has been a real repentance-based post-Holocaust revision of Christian theology which now rejects anti-Judaism. Stresses that in order for these changes to reach the rank-and-file, further educational efforts are needed. also notes the need for Jewish partners in dialogue to wipe out vestiges of Christian antisemitism. Aumann, from 1987-90 a minister-counselor for relations with Christian churches at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, notes the gradual recognition by Churches of the Jewish state, but expresses disappointment that some institutions, like the World Council of Churches, sympathize with the Palestinians; this is interpreted as anti-Zionist support for terror. Some of the documents appear in the appendixes (pp. 189-274).
