The Environmental Imagination
This volume presents a chronologically ordered and detailed account of the developing relationship between technics and poetics in environmental design in architecture through a consideration of the work of major names in the field.
The Message of Kings
In this Bible Speaks Today volume, John Olley shows how 1 and 2 Kings retell the past as preached history, addressing the exilic situation of the original readers. This accessible commentary shows how the narrative of Kings sheds light on what it means to worship, trust, and obey God in the midst of the turmoil of national and global events, doing so in rich often surprising ways.
Bind Up the Testimony
Bind Up the Testimony is a collection of essays from a colloquium held at Wheaton College in 2013. It brings together a variety of evangelical responses to the differing conclusions of mainstream and conservative scholars regarding the authorship and dating of the book of Isaiah. Some claim that multiple authors wrote the Book of Isaiah, while others believe an 8th-century B.C. Judean prophet penned the entire work. Offering a more nuanced view, a diverse group of evangelical scholars suggests that careful attention to the complex history of the text need not be a hindrance in accepting it as divinely inspired Scripture.
Visions of the Holy
Visions of the Holy is a collection of essays by Marvin A. Sweeney on the study of biblical and postbiblical theology and literature. The volume includes previously published and unpublished essays related to the developing field of Jewish biblical theology; historical, comparative, and reception-critical studies; and the reading of texts from the Pentateuch, Former Prophets, Latter Prophets, and Ketuvim. Additional essays examine Asian biblical theology, the understanding of Shabbat, intertextuality in Exodus–Numbers, Samuel, Isaiah, and the Twelve in intertextual perspective, and the democratization of messianism in modern Jewish thought. The volume is an excellent resource for scholars, students, and clergy interested in theological readings of the Hebrew Bible.
Two Books of Ezekiel
Employing text-critical, literary, and codicological analysis, this book shows the significance of Papyrus 967 for understanding the book of Ezekiel's textual transmission and status as a variant literary edition.
Conquering the World
Unique in its genre and content, the War Scroll (1QM) presents a vision of an impending eschatological war. Although originally interpreted as being the product of a single author from the Qumran Sect, the composition's inconsistencies quickly led to the view that it is in fact an eclectic document with an elaborate compositional history. Yet all such theories were formulated prior to the publication of War Scroll-like texts from Caves 4 and 11. A careful re-examination of the War Scroll suggests instead that what began as a primitive and cohesive composition from the Hellenistic period about a two-stage conquest of the world was eventually updated in order to fit the new historical realities faced by the sectarians under Roman rule.
Sworn Enemies
Sworn Enemies explains how the book of Ezekiel uses formulaic language from the exodus origin tradition – especially YHWH’s oath – to craft an identity for the Judahite exiles. This language openly refutes an autochthonous origin tradition preferred by the non-exiled Judahites while covertly challenging Babylonian claims that YHWH was no longer worthy of worship. After specifying the layers of meaning in the divine oath, the book shows how Ezekiel uses these connotations to construct an explicit, public transcript that denies and mocks the non-exiles’ appeals to a combined Abraham and Jacob tradition (e.g. Ezek 35). Simultaneously, Ezekiel employs the oath’s exodus connotations to ...
The Significance of Linguistic Diversity in the Hebrew Bible
"Cian Power explores ideas about linguistic diversity from the Hebrew Bible, including Hebrew and other ancient languages, like Aramaic. He argues that different ideas are linked to historical changes and show a concern for ethnic, religious and other boundaries." --
