Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul
Paul’s letters, the earliest writings in the New Testament, are filled with allusions, images, and quotations from the Old Testament, or, as Paul called it, Scripture. In this book, Richard B. Hays investigates Paul’s appropriation of Scripture from a perspective based on recent literary-critical studies of intertextuality. His uncovering of scriptural echoes in Paul’s language enriches our appreciation of the complex literary texture of Paul’s letters and offers new insights into his message. "A major work on hermeneutics. . . . Hays’s study will be a work to use and to reckon with for every Pauline scholar and for every student of Paul’s use of Old Testament traditions. It is s...
The Sanity Inspectors
“Who can tell exactly where the difference lies between those of us who imagine ourselves sane and those we call insane?” As Robert Vossmenge tries to practice psychiatry in Germany in the early 1930s, he finds himself at odds with his profession as it increasingly falls under the influence of the Nazi regime with its aim to rid German society of those it considers undesirables. Vossmenge tries to stay out of trouble by keeping a low profile. Through his friendship with a Lutheran pastor, he begins to question his assumptions about what constitutes sanity in a world where the people in charge seem to be insane. Though he quietly wages a one-man campaign against the cruelty of the military mindset while serving as a Luftwaffe doctor, Vossmenge is ultimately forced to choose between survival and standing for his beliefs. The Sanity Inspectors is a gripping account of the challenge of trying to be a good man in the midst of evil.

The Secret of Fane
When a war of revenge moves to the house next door, a boy battling a school bully inadvertently gets involved, and everything changes. Fairy tales become real, revenge becomes a matter of life and death, monsters rule the night, genocide threatens and enemies become friends – or do they?

Through this meeting, Herbert learns of a world below ground, and realizes that the local gnome clan is in mortal danger from Thomas Fane, Herbert’s sinister new neighbour. Fane is The Collector, whose life has been unnaturally prolonged and this has twisted his mind into insanity. A pact is formed between Herbert and the gnomes to help each other but it soon goes horribly wrong with consequences that no-one foresaw.
Disciplinarity and Dissent in Cultural Studies
First published in 1996. As recently as the early 1990s, people wondered what was the future of cultural studies in the United States and what effects its increasing internationalization might have. What type of projects would cultural studies inspire people to undertake? Would established disciplines welcome its presence and adapt their practices accordingly? Disciplinarity and Dissent in Cultural Studies answers such questions. It is now clear that, while striking and innovative work is underway in many different fields, most disciplinary organizations and structures have been very resistant to cultural studies. Meanwhile, cultural studies has been subjected to repeated attacks by conserva...
