Author: Ben Witherington III File Type: pdf Reading the Book of Psalms in its original context is the crucial prerequisite for reading its citation and use in later interpretation, including the New Testament writings, argues Ben Witherington III. Here he offers pastors, teachers, and students an accessible commentary to the Psalms, as well as a reasoned consideration of how they were heard and read in early Christianity. By reading forward and backward, Witherington advances the scholarly discussion of intertextuality and opens a new avenue for biblical theology. **Review A rare treasure . . . a triumph! --Philip Jenkins, Baylor University A gold mine of exegetically-rounded biblical theology. --Craig Evans, Houston Baptist University About the Author Ben Witherington III is Amos Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary and is on the doctoral faculty at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland he has taught at Ashland Theological Seminary, Vanderbilt University, Duke Divinity School, and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

Author: Paul Murray File Type: epub Ruprecht Van Doren is an overweight genius whose hobbies include very difficult maths and the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. Daniel Skippy Juster is his roommate. In the grand old Dublin institution that is Seabrook College for Boys, nobody pays either of them much attention. But when Skippy falls for Lori, the Frisbee-playing Siren from the girls school next door, suddenly all kinds of people take an interest - including Carl, part-time drug-dealer and official school psychopath. While his teachers battle over modernisation, and Ruprecht attempts to open a portal into a parallel universe, Skippy, in the name of love, is heading for a showdown - in the form of a fatal doughnut-eating race that only one person will survive. This unlikely tragedy will explode Seabrooks century-old complacency and bring all kinds of secrets into the light, until teachers and pupils alike discover that the fragile lines dividing past from present, love from betrayal - and even life from death - have become almost impossible to read . . .

Author: Mary Ellen Snodgrass File Type: pdf Less celebrated than their male counterparts, women have been vital contributors to the arts. Works by women of the colonial era represent treasured accomplishments of American culture and still impress us today, centuries after their creation. The breadth of creative expression is as impressive as the women themselves. In American Colonial Women and Their Art A Chronological Encyclopedia, Mary Ellen Snodgrass follows the history of creative expression from the early 1600s to the late 1700s. Drawing upon primary sourcessuch as letters, diaries, travel notes, and journalsthis timeline encompasses a wide variety of artistic accomplishment, such as ul lStitchery, quilting, and rug hookingl lPainting, sculpture, and sketchesl lEssays, poems, and other writingsl lDance, acting, and oratoryl lMusical composition and performancel ul Individual talents highlighted in this volume include miniature portraits by Mary Roberts, pastel likenesses by Henrietta Dering Johnston, stagecraft by Elizabeth Sampson Sullivan Ashbridge, basketry by Namumpum Weetamoo, dance by Mary Stagg, metalwork by blacksmith Elizabeth Hager Pratt, calligraphy by Anna Anastasia Thomas Wuster, city planning by Deborah Dunch Moody, poems and essays by Phillis Wheatley, and fabric design by Anne Pogue McGinty. Featuring appendices that list individuals by skill and by stateas well as a glossary that clarifies the parameters of genresthis volume is essential to the study of Colonial womens art. Resurrecting the efforts of women to record, adorn, and illustrate the spirit of their times, American Colonial Women and Their Art is a valuable resource that will be of interest to students and scholars of gender and womens studies, art history, and American history. **Review This volume examines the creative endeavors of women in the American colonies from 1607 to the inauguration of President George Washington in 1789. It is a year-by-year encyclopedia based on extensive research of archival and newspaper collections, illustrating the varied and dynamic lives, arts, and concerns of colonial women. For instance, some of the topics which the encyclopedia brings to the fore are patriot vs. loyalist sentiments, diatribes against issues such as slavery and oppression, fears related to battles and conflicts, travelogues and protests, anecdotes and memoirs, and new forms of expression within social and economic situations, to name but a few. Some of the arts represented include painting, musical composition and performance, writing and storytelling, dancing and acting, and stitchery and quilting. Two appendixes, Art Genres and Artists by State are perhaps the most important part of the book because they allow the user to quickly find information related to particular interests and research. An extensive glossary and bibliography are also included. I highly recommend this volume given its unique focus along with its usability and attention to detail.
