Diagnosing Deviance
In this study, Andrew M. Langford demonstrates that the single, post-Pauline author of the Pastoral Epistles ("the Pastor") crafts a stigmatizing depiction of his theological opponents by spatializing, demonizing, and pathologizing their alleged deviance. Through close comparative readings of ancient medical and philosophical literature, the author argues for the necessity of interpreting the Pastor's pathologizing of deviance in light of ancient disease etiologies and models of corporeality. With this book, the author contributes to recent interpretive insights about the function of authorial fiction in antiquity and demonstrates that the Pastor is self-consciously appropriating the Pauline epistolary to craft his approach to his theological opponents.
The Bible, Disability, and the Church
Inspiring and challenging study that rethinks the Bible’s teaching on disability A theologian whose life experience includes growing up alongside a brother with Down syndrome, Amos Yong in this book rereads and reinterprets biblical texts about human disability, arguing that the way we read biblical texts, not the Bible itself, is what causes us to marginalize persons with disabilities. Revealing and examining the underlying stigma of disability that exists even in the church, Yong shows how the Bible offers good news to people of all abilities — and he challenges churches to become more inclusive communities of faith.
Theory and Practice in Essene Law
This book offers a novel approach for the study of law in the Judean Desert Scrolls, using the prism of legal theory. Following a couple of decades of scholarly consensus withdrawing from the "Essene hypothesis," it proposes to revive the term, and suggests employing it for the sectarian movement as a whole, while considering the group that lived in Qumran as the Yahad. It further proposes a new suggestion for the emergence of the Yahad, based on the roles of the Examiner and the Instructor in the two major legal codes, the Damascus Document and the Community Rule. The understanding of Essene law is divided into concepts and practices, in order to emphasize the discrepancy between creed, rhe...

Gegen die Behinderung des Andersseins
Wo finden sich Spuren des Zusammenlebens mit behinderten Menschen im Alten und Neuen Testament und wie sind diese zu deuten? Bernhard Joss stellt die Erträge der humanwissenschaftlichen und heilpädagogischen Forschung zu mentaler Beeinträchtigung zusammen und zeigt eindrucksvoll, dass das Leben von Menschen mit einer geistigen Behinderung unglaublich vielfältig sein kann. Ausgehend von biblischen Texten nähert sich der Autor einer theologischen Grundorientierung und macht diese fruchtbar für die systematische Seelsorge, die inklusive Religionspädagogik und eine Ethik der Achtung. Lebendige Erfahrungsbeispiele aus Familie, Freizeit und Unterricht stützen das beeindruckende Plädoyer für eine Nichtbehinderung.
