Apocalypticism in the Bible and Its World (Paperba
$47.00
A beloved master teacher introduces the literature that shaped the thought of the earliest Christians
"Years ago Ernst Käsemann asserted that Jewish apocalyptic was the mother of Christian theology. If you want to understand that claim, read Rick Murphy's masterful guide to all the relevant ancient Jewish and Christian apocalyptic texts. This remarkable synthesis is a fitting memorial to a beloved teacher, respected scholar, and fine human being."
--Daniel J. Harrington, SJ, Boston College School of Theology and Ministry

This remarkable synthesis is a fitting memorial to a beloved teacher, respected scholar, and fine human being."
--Daniel J. Harrington, SJ, Boston College School of Theology and Ministry
"Lucidly written, accessible, and reliable, Murphy's book is an ideal textbook for college courses. Its distinctive strength lies in its exposition of the role apocalypticism plays in the New Testament."
--John J. Collins, Yale Divinity School
"This book is without a doubt the most comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to apocalypticism available. It was written by a master scholar and teacher whose many years of intimate acquaintance with the ancient texts and whose pedagogical adeptness in communicating the material are evident on every page. This superb study will benefit both those who are new to the apocalyptic genre and worldview and those who are ready for a fresh and deeper look into a subject whose importance for understanding early Judaism and Christianity cannot be exaggerated."
--Daniel C. Harlow, Calvin College; coeditor of The Eerdmans Dictionary of Early Judaism
"A master teacher, Professor Murphy has left us a legacy in this volume that will serve students for years to come. He covers the entire range of apocalyptic imagery and eschatology from its roots in the prophetic texts of the Hebrew Bible through the Dead Sea Scrolls and other Jewish works of the Second Temple period. Text boxes, charts, illustrations, and extensive bibliographies make this a classroom-friendly volume."

Between Apocalypse and Eschaton: History and Etern
$44.00
Between Apocalypse And Eschaton Examines The Systematic Theology Of Henri De Lubac, Sj, One Of The Most Significant Catholic Theologians Of The Twentieth Century. While Much Of The Recent Work On De Lubac Centers On The Controversies Surrounding His Theology Of The Supernatural, Between Apocalypse And Eschaton Argues That Eschatology Is The Key To De Lubac's Theological Project And Critical To Understanding The Nouvelle Théologie, The Group Of Theologians With Whom De Lubac Was Associated. At The Time, Intra-catholic Controversies Arose Around The Nouvelle Théologie As Part Of A Broader Anxiety Over The Loss Of The Eternal In Twentieth-century Europe. The German Occupation Of France In World War Ii Was The Backdrop For A Renewed Apocalyptic And Eschatological Thinking Among French Catholics. The Nouvelle Théologie Generated A Debate Over The Meaning Of The End That Was Critical To Understanding The Theological, Spiritual, And Political Fissures In The Postwar Period. After World War Ii, De Lubac's Writings Increasingly Focused On The Theology Of History And Eschatology. The Present Work Returns Focus To This Often Neglected Aspect Of De Lubac's Work.

Divided Into Two Sections, The Book First Considers Method And Theory, Before Providing Exegetical Character Studies Using A Literary Or Reader-oriented Method. It Summarizes The State Of The Discussion, Examines Obstacles To Arriving At A Comprehensive Theory Of Character In The Fourth Gospel, Compares Different Approaches, And Compiles The Diverse Methodologies Into One Comparative Study. This Volume Is Both A Comprehensive Study In Narrative/reader-oriented Theories, And A Study In The Application Of Those Theories To Characterization In The Complex Literary Work That Is The Gospel Of John. -- Book Cover.

Disembodied Souls: The Nefesh in Israel and Kindre
$30.00
Biblical Scholars Have Long Claimed That The Israelites Could Not Conceive Of A Disembodied Nefesh [soul]. In This Book, Richard C. Steiner Rejects That Claim Based On A Broad Spectrum Of Textual, Linguistic, Archaeological, And Anthropological Evidence Spanning The Millennia From Prehistoric Times To The Present. The Biblical Evidence Includes A Prophecy Of Ezekiel Condemning Women Who Pretend To Trap The Wandering Souls Of Sleeping People--a Prophecy That Has Been Only Partially Understood Until Now Because Of The Obscure Technical Terms That It Contains. The Extrabiblical Evidence Suggests That A Belief In The Existence Of Disembodied Souls Was Part Of The Common Religious Heritage Of The Peoples Of The Ancient Near East.

Enemy in the Household (Paperback)
$29.00
"Ancient and modern interpreters have struggled to understand and apply the passages in Deuteronomy that legislate violence against family members as judgment for covenant unfaithfulness. Caryn Reeder sorts through the Old Testament texts as well as the pertinent literatures of Hellenistic Judaism, Roman-period Jewish writers, the Tannaitic Rabbis, and the New Testament, offering meticulous analysis that helps modern readers understand the theological and cultural issues as well as the interpretive dilemmas. It is the rare scholar who can interact with these literatures so adeptly, but Reeder shows sophisticated insight at every turn. The Bible's call for constructive family violence is of great interest both in academia and the church, and Reeder's balanced treatment provides much-needed perspective to the discussion."
--John H. Walton, Wheaton College
--John H. Walton, Wheaton College
"Reeder offers us an in-depth study of the laws of 'constructive family violence' in the book of Deuteronomy. She contributes to our interpretive lens by means of an ethnographically sensitive exegesis of these laws in Deuteronomy as well as a thorough review of their conceptualization in subsequent believing communities. Here is a very helpful resource for those engaged in the study of family law, the marking of social boundaries in Israel, and even church discipline."
--Sandra L. Richter, Wesley Biblical Seminary
"Caryn Reeder is unafraid. She is unafraid of a subject on which many fear to speak. She is unafraid of parts of the Bible that others either ignore or expunge. And she is unafraid of controversy, whether among the ancient rabbis or within today's church."
--Jo Bailey Wells, Duke Divinity School
"This book is an excellent study on three verses in Deuteronomy, but it is about so much more. Through its focus on these three verses that suggest family violence, this volume demonstrates what careful research and well-applied theory can reveal about the text, Deuteronomy, family, and society, and the impact interpretation, both ancient and modern, has on meaning."

His Focus Is The New Testament's Longest And Most Systematic Account Of Healing, Matthew Chapters 8 And 9, Which He Investigates By Situating The Text Within A Broad Range Of Ancient Healing Traditions. The Close Exegetical Readings Of Each Healing Narrative Culminate In A Final Synthesis That Pulls Together What Can Be Said About Matthew's Understanding Of Healing, How Matthew's Narratives Of Healing Expose The Distinctive Priorities Of The Evangelist, And How These Priorities Relate To The Theology Of The Gospel As A Whole. Methodology -- The Living Temple -- From East To West -- The Uninvited Healer -- Houses, Healing, And Prophets -- The Other Side -- On The Way, Before The Time -- Practicing Healing In Community -- Unexpected Guests -- Things Old And New -- Daughters In The Borderland -- Sensing The Son Of David -- Healing Every Disease.

Jesus Wept: The Significance of Jesus’ Lamen
$49.95
Lament Does Not Seem To Be A Pervasive Feature Of The New Testament, Particularly When Viewed In Relation To The Old Testament. A Careful Investigation Of The New Testament, However, Reveals That It Thoroughly Incorporates The Pattern Of Old Testament Lament Into Its Proclamation Of The Gospel, Especially In The Person Of Jesus Christ As He Both Prays And Embodies Lament. As An Act That Fundamentally Calls Upon God To Be Faithful To God's Promises To Israel And To The Church, Lament In The New Testament Becomes A Prayer Of Longing For God's Kingdom, Which Has Been Inaugurated In The Ministry And Resurrection Of Jesus, Fully To Come.
