Spread the Jam will take you through the steps of signing up for an open jam, or sitting in with a band, making some great music and forming lasting friendships and memories on stage. You'll understand how to call a tune so the other musicians can play along, how to interpret the verbal and non-verbal communications musicians give on stage, and how to network with the other players and patrons in the scene. This book covers jam etiquette, beginning improvisation, song forms typically found in these types of musical environments, a breakdown of the genres that utilize the jam setting, what to do when you arrive at a new jam and how to be successful in sharing the stage with other players and more. Now oil your valves, tune your guitar, grab your drum sticks, grab your bass, warm up your chops, and get out there and make some music!
Why does Matthew append 'and his brothers' to Judah and Jechoniah (1:2, 11)? Secondly, why does Matthew include the following four annotations: 'and Zerah by Tamar', 'by Rahab', 'by Ruth', and 'by the [wife] of Uriah' (1:3-6)? Jason B. Hood uses a composition critical approach in which he examines biblical genealogies and 'summaries of Israel's story' in order to shed light on these features of Matthew's gospel. Hood asserts that he addition of 'and his brothers' recalls Jesus' royal role. Judah and Jechoniah in Second Temple literature are both understood to have reversed their wickedness and earned royal status by self-sacrifice, perhaps pointing to the self-sacrifice of Jesus for his brothers before his full enthronement. A review of scholarly explanations of the significance of the 'four (five) women' in the genealogy, unearths an overlooked interpretation - Matthew does not name four women in 1:3-6 but four Gentiles (Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Uriah) traditionally celebrated as righteous.
In Translation Theory and the Old Testament in Matthew, Woojin Chung employs a rigorous method of Skopos theory to examine Matthew’s citation technique in his infancy narrative and locates the specific purpose of his use of Scripture. He argues that the complex nature of the formulaic quotations and allusion in Matthew 1‒2 can be understood in light of new methodological insights. The way Matthew cites the Old Testament for his communicative purpose is congruent to the approach of a Skopos translator who is motivated by a specific purpose of translation. The theory of interpretation of his use of Scripture, therefore, can be informed by the theory and method of translation.

The congregation of Meadow Creek enjoys dinner on the grounds in the shade of a massive red oak tree. Many of the people seated around the tables are descendants of Revolutionary War veterans and have lived on the south side of the Nolichucky River all their lives. Most of them are farmers. They love this place. They're very good at what they do. And they treasure their church. For two hundred years, the congregation has met here, and it hasn't always been easy. The Christian life never is.
