Old Testament Quotations within the Context of Stephen's Speech in Acts
This book represents a major contribution to ongoing studies on the Acts of the Apostles, particularly on the manner in which the New Testament writer quotes and interprets the Old Testament. The discussion confines itself to an examination of the nine explicit quotations in Stephen’s speech of Acts 7, which are identified with introductory formulae. Adopting text-historical, methodological, and hermeneutical approaches, this study brings the reader up-to-date in this ever-growing and important field in New Testament studies, and provides the harvest of decades of research into the relationship between the Old and New Testaments. It will be of interest to all students, ministers, and scholars alike, and to anyone wanting to go deeper into the heart of the Bible.

The Spiral Gospel
How did the author of the Gospel of Luke intend it to be read? In The Spiral Gospel, Rob James shows that the assumptions many modern readers bring to the text - that it claims to be historically factual, or merely regurgitates existing stories - are not those of antiquity. Building on the central insight that it was written for a community who would have used it as their pre-eminent text, James argues convincingly for a continuous, cyclical reading of Luke's narrative. The evidence for this view, and also its consequences, can be seen in the gospel's intratextuality. Context is given at the end of the gospel that informs the beginning, and there are countless other intratextual elements throughout the text that are most readily noticeable on a second or subsequent reading. This deliberate, creative interweaving on the author's part opens up new levels of appreciation and faith for those who read in the way Luke's first audience received his work.
The Age of the ΔΡΟΜΩΝ
This volume examines the development and evolution of the war galley known as the Dromon, and its relative, the Chelandion, from first appearance in the sixth century until its supercession in the twelfth century by the Galea developed in the Latin West. Beginning as a small, fully-decked, monoreme galley, by the tenth century the Dromon had become a bireme, the pre-eminent war galley of the Mediterranean. The salient features of these ships were their two-banked oarage system, the spurs at their bows which replaced the ram of classical antiquity, their lateen sails, and their primary weapon: Greek Fire. The book contextualizes the technical characteristics of the ships within the operational history of Byzantine fleets, logistical problems of medieval naval warfare, and strategic objectives. Surviving Byzantine sources, especially tactical manuals, are subjected to close literary and philological analysis.
