Within the Dusts of Time: Letters from the Field
James F. Strange was a pioneering New Testament archaeologist and Distinguished University Professor in Religious Studies at the University of South Florida, where he taught from 1972 until his death in 2018. His personal letters from the field, written over the nearly five decades in which he excavated in Israel, illuminate the intersection of his scholarship in Christian Origins and post-Biblical Judaism with his deep faith in a personally knowable, loving God. They comprise a collection of entertaining, insightful, and sometimes poignant stories about the people on his dig, explanations of archaeological findings, and glimpses into the social workings of modern-day Israel.
On the Strange Place of Religion in Contemporary Art
Can contemporary art say anything about spirituality? John Updike calls modern art "a religion assembled from the fragments of our daily life," but does that mean that contemporary art is spiritual? What might it mean to say that the art you make expresses your spiritual belief? On the Strange Place of Religion in Contemporary Art explores the curious disconnection between spirituality and current art. This book will enable you to walk into a museum and talk about the spirituality that is or is not visible in the art you see.
A City Set on a Hill: Essays in Honor of James F. Strange
For more than four decades, James F. Strange has been one of the leading figures in biblical archaeology, beginning with his collaboration with Eric and Carol Meyers in their excavations in Upper Galilee in the 1970s and early '80s, and continuing especially in his role as the Director of the University of South Florida's excavations at Sepphoris, a position he held for twenty-seven years. During that time, he not only advanced our understanding of civilization in the Galilee within the formative years of Christianity and rabbinic Judaism, but he also trained a new generation of scholars in the rigorous methodologies of archaeological field work--methodologies that he helped pioneer. In this volume, nearly two dozen of his colleagues, former students, and other fellow scholars honor Prof. Strange with a series of essays on biblical archaeology and its related, interdisciplinary fields, often building upon his own considerable scholarly contributions. Collectively, they offer the reader the latest insights and discoveries in field excavations, ancient textual studies, and social scientific analyses, forming a fitting tribute to Prof. Strange's own outstanding life and legacy.
