A story at Level 5 of a series of children's illustrated ELT readers which are graded at five levels, according to length and complexity of plot. The stories cover a wide variety of genres, and have both British and foreign settings. Dramatized versions are available on cassette.
This book examines many of the strange events and actions in Acts in the context of the Hellenistic world and from that perspective. These events and actions include the ascension of Jesus, direction by the Spirit, visions, angelophanies, prison escapes and resuscitations of the dead. Many of these events are either avoided in scholarship or are investigated with an agenda other than to understand them for themselves. The book constructs an ancient audience to be one that has a close familiarity with the Septuagint and with other Greek and Latin writings. The culturally-strange events are then interpreted through the lens of these texts.
Novelty Theory is the fiery debut collection of poetry by Caspar Heinemann. Described by Bhanu Kapil as follows: "Caspar Heinemann has written an anthem for alien beloveds everywhere, in the time before rising up and where the "pre-nothings" burn up as soon as you touch them. Reading this book burst adhesions in my outlook, which is what I want (always). A book without an afterwards or a before, Novelty Theory occupies an intense present that does not console its readers. Can poetry be a form of cultural revenge?"
Michael Lakey illustrates the complexities of using biblical materials to shed light upon modern concerns. He specifically addresses the recent evangelical controversy regarding gender roles.
