In Methods for Luke, four leading scholars demonstrate how
different interpretive methods provide insight into the Gospel of
Luke. Introducing contemporary perspectives on historical
criticism, feminist criticism, narrative criticism, and Latino
interpretation, they illustrate these approaches to New Testament
study by examining either the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus
(Luke 16: 19-31 ) or Jesus' warning regarding the scribes and the
story of the women with two small coins (Luke 20: 45-21:4). The use
of two "set texts" enables readers to understand how method makes a
difference in the reading of the same text.
All the statements of Jesus, organized into practical, easy-to-find
topics.
In this special red-letter edition, all the statements of Jesus
have been brought together under more than two hundred practical,
easy-to-find topics. When you want to know His will in a specific

wisdom, you can easily find the help you need.
Let the greatest words ever spoken bring new vision, power, and joy
into your life--one statement at a time.

Combining the two most popular word study tools into one manageable
volume, this multi-purpose Bible language reference contains all
the essentials you need to study the biblical text without having
to know Hebrew or Greek. Provides definition, explanation, and
concordance entries. In a manageable size and readable text, this
book is neatly split in its two components: The New Strong's
Concise Concordance: Built from The New Strong's Exhaustive
Concordance of the Bible. Groups together variant spellings of
proper names, allowing the concordance to be used with all modern
translations-not just the King James. Eliminates some common words
that are not likely to be used in searching for a particular
passage. Condenses some heavily used words by attaching to them the
most important passages, enabling the user to quickly find specific
verses. Vine's Concise Dictionary of the Bible: A condensed
combination of W. E. Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament
Words and Nelson's Expository Dictionary of the Old Testament.
Organized alphabetically by English words that represent the key
vocabulary of biblical theology. Includes many other terms of
interpretive importance that may be rich in cultural significance
or otherwise obscure to modern readers. Each article contains the
part of speech, the transliteration, the Strong's number for easy
cross-indexing, and a concise and expository definition of the word
or term. Dependable information in a clear presentation, this
Concise edition of two classic Bible study resources is designed to
better serve the needs of the standard user-from those in or
preparing for ministry, to anyone interested in getting to know
Scripture better.

Every single name in the Bible has a meaning. Without knowing the
meanings of the names leaves any reading of the Bible incomplete.
Have you ever wondered what 'Adam' means? David, Saul, Solomon?
What does Jehovah and God mean? What about Jesus and Mary?
Revelation: A True Translation of the Bible explains all the
meanings of the Biblical names. This book answers all the mysteries
of the Bible which have puzzled Biblical scholars for centuries,
and it explains the meanings through language and culture which the
author, Hawaa Ayoub, draws on and has personal experience with.
Revelation also explores the background of the Bible and discusses
cultural, geographical, and language phenomena - topics that are of
interest to Biblical scholars and professors, linguists, other
experts and serious readers of the Bible as well as those with a
personal interest in Biblical stories. From the Biblical names of
characters and places, the stories of wanderings, sacrifices at
altars, warring, taking over land, punishment and reward, infertile
women and miraculous pregnancies - Hawaa Ayoub explains in great
detail what the Biblical stories are all about. Ideal for scholars,
and those with a personal interest in the Bible, and anyone seeking
an authoritative and detailed explanation of the Biblical stories,
its figures and places. Ayoub not only translates the names in the
Bible, but also shows who authored the Biblical stories and why
they were created.
Anat Israeli presents the first feminist commentary in the series
on a chapter from the "Order of Women." She discusses the last
chapter of Tractate Qiddushin, devoted to "betrothals." Chapter 4
deals in general with two major topics: the first is Jewish
genealogies (what parts the mother and father play in deciding who
is a Jew and who can marry whom). The second topic is about
forbidden seclusions between members of the opposite sex (since
they can bring about promiscuity, adultery and other unwanted
sexual contacts). In this study, Anat Israeli and her collaborators
first analyze the Mishnah and show what its authors had considered
important about these two topics, and then they show how the
emphases had shifted on the way between the land of the Mishnah
(Israel) and the land of the Talmud (Babylonia).
A 2001 Christianity Today Book of the Year While patristic
commentary on St. Paul's shorter letters--Colossians, 1-2
Thessalonians, the Pastorals and Philemon--was not so extensive as
that on his longer letters, certain passages in these letters
proved particularly important in doctrinal disputes and practical
church matters. Pivotal in controversies with the Arians and the
Gnostics, the most commented-upon christological text amid these
letters was Colossians 1:15-20, where Jesus is declared "the image
of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation." In other
texts scattered throughout the Pastorals, the fathers found ample
support for the divinity of the Son and the Spirit and for the full
union of humanity and divinity in the one redeemer, the "one
mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy
2:5). These early Christian commentators also looked to the
Pastorals, where Pauline authorship was assumed, for important
ethical and moral teaching, as well as explicit qualifications for
choosing church leaders and guidelines for overseeing the work and
behavior of widows. Chief among the Eastern commentators and widely
excerpted throughout this volume is John Chrysostom, praised for
his pastoral insight and shrewd, generous empathy with the apostle
Paul. Other Greek commentators whose works are cited include
Theodoret of Cyr, Theodore of Mopsuestia, Severian of Gabala,
Ignatius of Antioch, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Clement of
Alexandria, Athanasius, Basil the Great, Gregory of Nazianzus and
Gregory of Nyssa. Among Western commentators Augustine dominates.
His work is joined by that of Ambrosiaster, Pelagius, Jerome,
Hippolytus, Tertullian, Novatian, Cyprian of Carthage, Hilary of
Poitiers and Ambrose, among others. Of particular interest for
their ascetical and devotional insight are works from Syrian and
Egyptian churches, including Aphrahat, Ephrem the Syrian, Isaac of
Nineveh and Philoxenus of Mabbug. This volume opens up a treasure
house of ancient wisdom that allows these faithful witnesses, some
appearing here in English translation for the first time, to speak
with eloquence and intellectual acumen to the church today.
