Morning is a time to embrace renewed opportunity, fresh
perspective, and an overall sense of rejuvenation. Morning
Reflections is a collection of powerful and inspirational reading
that is dedicated to helping you begin each new day in a positive
way. Christian and inspirational author and poet Karen Jean Matsko
Hood has woven together poems, prayers, and Biblical verses to fill
your soul and spirit with peace and understanding. Just like a
hearty morning meal strengthens your physical body, it is equally
important to center your emotions and nourish your spirit with the
sure footing that can only come from a personal connection with the
Creator. Morning Reflections offers enlightenment and wisdom
through blending encouraging prose and Scripture passages. This
truly insightful new book of reflections makes for a perfect
bedside companion or as a topic of conversation over the coffee
table. This book is a wonderful gift to friends and family for
daily morning prayer and appreciation of Christ's teachings. It is
also for those with whom we are given the opportunity to share and
experience it.
This is a ground breaking analysis of the "Song of Deborah" through
a comparative study of heroic poetry that elucidates the otherwise
enigmatic role of Yahweh.The so-called "Song of Deborah" celebrates
a decisive victory during the era of the Judges, and praises Jael
and the Israelites for their defeat of a Canaanite coalition led by
Sisera. Despite generations of scholarship, virtually every aspect
of the poem remains disputed because it has been misunderstood in
previous research. This study explains both the enigmatic role of
Yahweh of the poem and its heroic ethos through a comparative study
of heroic poetry.Over the last 30 years this pioneering series has
established an unrivalled reputation for cutting-edge international
scholarship in Biblical Studies and has attracted leading authors
and editors in the field. The series takes many original and
creative approaches to its subjects, including innovative work from
historical and theological perspectives, social-scientific and
literary theory, and more recent developments in cultural studies
and reception history.

Through a close and informative reading of seven key texts in Acts,
Kauppi analyses the appearances of Graeco-Roman religion, offering
evidence of practices including divination and oracles, ruler cult
and civic foundation myth. "Foreign But Familiar Gods" then uses a
combination of these scriptural texts and other contemporary
evidence (including archaeological and literary material) to
suggest that one of Luke's subsidiary themes is to contrast
Graeco-Roman and Christian religious conceptualizations and
practices.
