4QInstruction
The wisdom tradition of ancient Israel, represented in the Hebrew Bible by Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes and in the Apocrypha by Ben Sira and the Wisdom of Solomon, is also well-attested in the texts from Qumran. 4QInstruction (1Q26, 4Q415–418, 4Q423), the largest wisdom text of the Dead Sea Scrolls, is considered a sapiential text primarily because of its explicit and insistent pedagogical nature. To make this significant wisdom text more widely available, this volume offers a critical edition, translation, and commentary on the main fragments of 4QInstruction. It examines particular texts of 4QInstruction as well as broader issues, including its date, genre, main themes, and place in Second Temple Judaism. Finally, in order to contextualize this pivotal work, 4QInstruction’s relationship to the sapiential and apocalyptic traditions is also explored.
The Money Primary
The race that's run before the one for President--that's the money primary. But more than money must be acquired in the early campaign for President. What's often just as important in securing candidate viability and success is the media coverage garnered during this time, since this is frequently the first decisive test of a candidate's presidential strength. The election years of 1988 and 2000 stand out among recent presidential nomination campaigns because they were two elections in which both major parties had open nomination contests. In this book, Michael J. Goff looks at the pre-candidacy and early candidacy periods of each of these election cycles and the decisive impact that the money primary had on both. His study confirms the pivotal importance of money and media coverage in a successful nomination bid and suggests the advent of yet a new period in the ever-evolving system of presidential selection.

The Worldly and Heavenly Wisdom of 4QInstruction
This volume is devoted to 4QInstruction, the last lengthy text of the Dead Sea Scrolls to be officially published. It is also the largest wisdom text of this corpus. The central concern of this study is how this composition should be understood in relation to the sapiential and apocalyptic traditions. Features of 4QInstruction that are examined include its appeal to revelation, its presentation of poverty, and its eschatology. The document’s relationship to both 1 Enoch and the Dead Sea sect is also discussed. This study will prove useful to anyone interested in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the reception of the Jewish wisdom tradition in the Second Temple period, and apocalypticism.
Bonaventure, John Duns Scotus, and the Franciscan Tradition
In this fourth volume of Collected Essays, Bonaventure, John Duns Scotus, and the Franciscan Tradition, Peter Damian Fehlner traces the development of the Franciscan theologies of redemption, co-redemption, and the Immaculate Conception as they both flow from and return to a very concrete spirituality rooted in devotion to the persons of Jesus and Mary. The main protagonists in these studies are the towering figures of Bonaventure and John Duns Scotus. Framed within an ecclesiological and sacramental worldview, shaped by the correlative and markedly Franciscan doctrines of the Absolute Primacy of Jesus and the Immaculate Conception, Fehlner outlines the theological background and rationale f...
Discerning Wisdom
"Discerning Wisdom" provides an overview of all the Qumran wisdom texts. The Dead Sea Scrolls offer crucial evidence for understanding the wisdom of the late Second Temple period and the reception of traditional wisdom in Early Judaism.
One Single Reason
A single woman myself, I invite everyone to celebrate the integral part single women play in the body of Christ. With God at the head of the table, we will seek wisdom and examples from His Word to guide us as we each pull up a chair and join the conversation. Love-for God and for others-is our one single reason to engage in this open dialogue through authentic relationships. Drawing from single women's stories, we will rejoice with those who are "single and lovin' it, mostly." learn how to support each other as single women, and what we can offer others. allow God to redefine the deepest desires of our heart. avoid the encaging traps that divide us. respond to others in ways that lead to contentment. share strategies for how to live out love in a congregational context. It is my prayer that through the conversations facilitated by this book, single and single-again women will feel affirmed, understood, and represented. Thank you for joining in the conversation as we live out love: our one single reason.
Human and Holy
Through this thirteen-week, small-group Bible study, well discuss Jesus and His example of how to live as human and holyset apart to live a holy life, with human nature, but not according to sinful nature. Theres freedom in understanding the distinction between human nature and sinful naturenot a freedom to sin (Romans 6:1), but a freedom to be all that God calls us to be. Human and Holy is the first of many Iron Rose Sister Ministries Bible Studies. What I loved about Human and Holy was that it wasnt intimidating. I really connected with the conversational style of the studies. Christa Duve, young professional Human and Holy gave me a fresh perspective that I never realized on verses Ive re...
