[eBook] /Jennifer Fredette.

The correspondence of Wolfgang Capito 1532-1536. [eBook] /edited and
translated by Erika Rummel ; with the assistance of Milton Kooistra.
Wolfgang Capito (1478–1541), a leading Christian
Hebraist and Catholic churchman who converted to Protestantism, was a pivotal
figure in the history of the Reformation. After serving as a professor of
theology in Basel and adviser to the archbishop of Mainz, he moved to
Strasbourg, which became, largely due to his efforts, one of the most important
centres of the Reformation movement after Wittenberg. Kooistra’s annotation
provides historical context by identifying classical, patristic, and biblical
quotations as well as persons and places.
The ending of the canon: a canonical and intertextual reading of Revelation 21-22 (print) /Külli Tõniste.
Whilst the methods used in the church treat Revelation as scripture and keep the text intact, these approaches often lack the tools for sound interpretation. Tõniste observes the need for a more holistic and thoughtful methodology to study Revelation.
Engines of truth: producing veracity in the Victorian courtroom [eBook] /Wendie
Ellen Schneider.
"During the Victorian era, new laws allowed more
witnesses to testify in court cases. At the same time, an emerging cultural
emphasis on truth-telling drove the development of new ways of inhibiting
perjury. Strikingly original and drawing on a broad array of archival research,
Wendie Schneider shines new light on cross-examination, the most enduring
product of this time and the “greatest legal engine ever invented for the
discovery of truth.
Essays on the patriarchal narratives [eBook & Print] /edited by A.R. Millard & D.J.
Wiseman.
There is renewed interest in the history and traditions of
the patriarchal period. Recent publications have sought, among other things, to
show that the biblical patriarchs were a literary, even fictional, creation of
the first millennium BC, produced to provide the nation of Israel with
'founding fathers'. Much of this new writing is helpful in distinguishing what
are traditional or speculative interpretations from the basic text of Genesis. In
the light of the importance of this subject for the proper understanding of the
historical reliability and the theological teaching of the Bible (which cannot
be separated), the Council of Tyndale House set up an Old Testament project
group to look afresh at aspects of the problems raised.

Twelve essays cover a wide range of scientific disciplines,
from physics and chemistry to medicine and anthropology, and a variety of
literary texts, such as Erasmus Darwin’s poem The Botanic Garden, George
Eliot’s Daniel Deronda, and Goethe’s Elective Affinities. The collection will
appeal to scholars of literature and of the history of science, and to those
interested in the connections between the two.
An increase in time: story lines of Germantown MennoniteChurch and its historic trust, 1683-2005 (Print) /Richard J. Lichty.

Making the white man's West: whiteness and the creation of the American West[eBook] /by Jason E. Pierce.
In the early nineteenth century, critics like Zebulon Pike
and Washington Irving viewed the West as a “dumping ground” for free blacks and
Native Americans, a place where they could be segregated from the white
communities east of the Mississippi River. However, as immigrant populations
and industrialization took hold in the East, white Americans began to view the
West as a “refuge for real whites.” The West had the most diverse population in
the nation with substantial numbers of American Indians, Hispanics, and Asians,
but Anglo-Americans could control these mostly disenfranchised peoples and
enjoy the privileges of power while celebrating their presence as providing a
unique regional character.

intriguing readings of canonical authors.
New Testament interpretation: essays on principles and methods. [eBook & print] /edited
by I. Howard Marshall.
The problem of interpreting a passage from the Bible is one
to which we would all like to find the key, some simple and easy formula that
will enable us to approach any text of Scripture and quickly establish its
meaning. Alas, there is no such simple answer, but it is possible to indicate
some general principles and types of approach which will enable us to wrestle
with the text and come to an understanding of it.

Explores the enduring relevance of the ancient concepts of
republicanism and civic virtue to modern questions about political engagement
and identity. Examining both ancient and early modern conceptions of civic
republicanism, the contributors respond to the work of thinkers ranging from
Plato and Aristotle to Machiavelli, Montesquieu, and Wollstonecraft.
Political strategies in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica [eBook]
/edited by Sarah Kurnick and Joanne Baron.
Reading Karl Barth, interrupting moral technique,transforming biomedical ethics (print) /Ashley John Moyse.
Moyse engages with Karl Barth's philosophical and
theological thinking in order to investigate the moral discussions surrounding
biomedical ethics. According to Moyse, Barth's moral theology not only grounds
humans as ontologically relational but also fuels responsibility to, with, and
for one's neighbors.
Undesigned
coincidences in the writings of the Old and New Testament [eBook]: an argument of their veracity /John J. Blunt.
The argument from undesigned coincidences is one of the forgotten arguments for Christianity. When one examines the Scriptures, one finds a number of historical, factual claims which either overlap and confirm others made independently or fill in gaps that authors familiar with current events at the time of the writings would have assumed their readers knew about. These coincidences are therefore undesigned–they are unintentional–but they show that the authors who wrote the books which contain them were telling historical truths. (Wartick)
Theworld's oldest church: Bible, art, and ritual at Dura-Europos, Syria [eBook] /Michael Peppard.
A historical and theological reassessment of the oldest
Christian building ever discovered -- the third-century house-church at
Dura-Europos. Contrary to commonly held assumptions about Christian initiation,
Peppard contends that rituals here did not primarily embody notions of death and
resurrection. Rather, he portrays the motifs of the church’s wall paintings as
those of empowerment, healing, marriage, and incarnation, while boldly re-identifying
the figure of a woman formerly believed to be a repentant sinner as the Virgin
Mary. This richly illustrated volume is a breakthrough work that enhances our
understanding of early Christianity at the nexus of Bible, art, and ritual.
