A Biblical Theology of Gerassapience
Ancient cultures, such as that of the Hebrews, commonly associated wisdom with advanced years. In A Biblical Theology of Gerassapience the author investigates the validity of this correlation through an eclectic approach - including linguistic semantic, tradition-historical, and socio-anthropological methods - to pertinent biblical and extra-biblical texts. There are significant variations in the estimation of gerassapience (or «old-age wisdom») in each period of ancient Israel's life - that is, in pre-monarchical, monarchical, and post-monarchical Israel. Throughout this study, appropriate cross-cultural parallels are drawn from the cultures of ancient Israel's neighbors and of modern soc...

Yahweh's Coming of Age
In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the deity Yahweh is often portrayed as an old man. One of the epithets used of Yahweh in the Hebrew Bible, the Ancient of Days, is a source for this depiction of God as elderly. However, when we look closely at the early traditions of biblical Israel, we see a different picture: God is relatively youthful, a warrior who defends his people. This book is an examination of the question How did God become old? To answer this question, Bembry examines the way that aging and elderly human beings are portrayed in the Hebrew Bible. Then he makes a similar foray into the texts written in Ugaritic (a language quite close to ancient Hebrew), which provide a window into...

Having preached the gospel for many years, I sat down to get fresh inspiration from Holy Spirit on his preferred way to communicate divinity to humanity, with God's kind of result.
Human Trafficking
"Human trafficking" brings to mind gangsters forcing people, often women and girls, to engage in dangerous activities against their will, under threat of violence. However, human trafficking is not limited to the sex trade, and this picture is inadequate. It occurs in many different industries---domestic service, construction, factory labour, on farms and fishing boats---and targets people from all over the globe. Human trafficking is a much more complicated and nuanced picture than its common representations. Victims move through multiple categories along their journey and at their destination, shifting from smuggled migrant to trafficking victim and back again several times. The emergence ...

Embrace Your Jubilee
The author, Becky Adedokun, a nurse, as well as a prayer and worship evangelist, writes a vivid description of Biblical ideas of true jubilee. She was instructed by the Holy Spirit to "Write a book about your revelation of Leviticus 25." This book is no doubt a revelation. It offers different biblical metaphors of jubilee. This author, Becky Adedokun, demonstrates an awareness of the many aspects of Jubilee. Without a doubt, her testimony of faith impinges on her personal experience of Jubilee as a significant milestone, having reflected on her life's journey through forty-nine years. To this end, a celebration of her emancipated life from incapacitating challenges of life is a worthy venture. In this book, readers will find reasons to live daily life of jubilee rather than only when one reaches the age fifty. This book will help you ignite a passion to stand tall in the life of victory which is yours in union with Christ.
