Paul, Moses, and the History of Israel
The paper in this volume are organized in three parts: scriptural, contextual and theological. The central question being addressed is: how do Christians living in contexts, where Islam is a majority or minority religion, experience, express or think of the Cross? This is, therefore, an exercise in listening. As the contexts from where these engagements arise are varied, the papers in drawing scriptural, contextual and theological reflections offer a cross-section of Christian thinking about Jesus and the Cross.
Winning by Resting
“Prayer puts God to work and keeps Him working endlessly till the job is done.” “The man who wrestles in prayer before God flies high in life’s situations.” “The power of your prayer lingers on. It goes beyond time to bless.” “God has ordained prayer as the ultimate pathway to possibilities.” When you feel your back is against the wall, each door you find gets slammed on your face, your health and finances hit rock bottom, there is pain in the heart, and you see distress around. They say: nothing much could be done. In the pages of Winning by Resting, Paul Moses C. Ratnam takes you through a journey of raw inspiration from scriptures and life about the one unstoppable force available to man from God, which transforms doom to glorious destiny—prayer. As a man given to prayer himself, he shares his insights that will help you to — rise from the struggle in personal prayer, — seize your destiny beyond the pain of your past, — hear the voice of God in your spirit, — tap into the privileges and be in charge of the miraculous, and — cultivate the practice called prayer.

An Unlikely Union
They came from the poorest parts of Ireland and Italy, and met as rivals on the sidewalks of New York.

Cabrini, who stood up to the Irish American archbishop of New York when he tried to se...
Paul and Moses
Within the framework of Paul's use of Scripture, the contexts of biblical narratives are of great significance, although this has long been underestimated. This conference volume deals with the reception of traditions about Moses in the letters of the apostle to the Gentiles, especially the exodus and Sinai traditions. It focuses on the important and much-discussed passages about the danger of idolatry in 1 Corinthians 10 as well as on the glory of Paul's apostolic ministry in 2 Corinthians 3. The collected essays are methodologically oriented towards the issue of the relationship between education/formation and religion, and they thus perceive Paul's use and interpretation of those biblical traditions as a process of religious education. Tradition-historical backgrounds and the contexts of the situations are also taken into consideration, as well as literary structures and communicative intentions.
The Saint and the Sultan
An intriguing examination of the extraordinary–and little known meeting between St. Francis of Assisi and Islamic leader Sultan Malik Al-Kamil that has strong resonance in today's divided world. For many of us, St. Francis of Assisi is known as a poor monk and a lover of animals. However, these images are sadly incomplete, because they ignore an equally important and more challenging aspect of his life -- his unwavering commitment to seeking peace. In The Saint and the Sultan, Paul Moses recovers Francis' s message of peace through the largely forgotten story of his daring mission to end the crusades. In 1219, as the Fifth Crusade was being fought, Francis crossed enemy lines to gain an au...
Moses in Corinth
Scholars have long puzzled over the imagery focused on Moses in 2 Corinthians 3; it is unclear how that imagery fits into the larger context of the letter. Many have explained the imagery as the apostle’s reaction to the “super-apostles,” Jewish missionaries mentioned later in the letter. These preachers, it has been argued, promoted either a θεῖος ἀνήρ or a Judaizing agenda. In Moses in Corinth, Paul B. Duff contends that the Moses imagery has nothing to do with the super-apostles but functions instead as an integral part of Paul’s first apologia sent to Corinth. This apologia, found in 2 Cor 2:14-7:4, represents an independent letter sent to dispel suspicions about the apostle’s honesty, integrity, and poor physical appearance.
Paul and Scripture
In Paul and Scripture, numerous scholars explore the various ways in which Paul the Apostle weaves into his writings the authority, content, and even wording of Jewish Scriptures.
