Paul and the Greco-Roman Philosophical Tradition provides a fresh
examination of the relationship of Greco-Roman philosophy to
Pauline Christianity. It offers an in-depth look at different
approaches employed by scholars who draw upon philosophical
settings in the ancient world to inform their understanding of
Paul. The volume houses an international team of scholars from a
range of diverse traditions and backgrounds, which opens up a
platform for multiple voices from various corridors. Consequently,
some of the chapters seek to establish new potential resonances
with Paul and the Greco-Roman philosophical tradition, but others
question such connections. While a number of them propose radically
new relationships between Paul and GrecoRoman philosophy, a few
seek to tweak or modulate current discussions. There are arguments
in the volume which are more technical and exegetical, and others
that remain more synthetic and theological. This diversity,
however, is accentuated by a goal shared by each author - to
further our understanding of Paul's relationship to and
appropriation of Greco-Roman philosophical traditions in his
literary and missionary efforts.
Cushites in the Hebrew Bible offers a reassessment of Cushite
ethnographic representations in the biblical literature as a
counterpoint to misconceptions about Africa and people of African
descent which are largely a feature of the modern age. Whereas
current interpretations have tended to emphasize unfavourable
portraits of the people biblical writers called Cushites, Kevin
Burrell illuminates the biblical perspective through a comparative
assessment of ancient and modern forms of identity construction.
Past and present modes of defining difference betray both
similarities and differences to ethnic representations in the
Hebrew Bible, providing important contexts for understanding the
biblical view. This book contributes to a clearer understanding of
the theological, historical, and ethnic dynamics underpinning
representations of Cushites in the Hebrew Bible.
In The Text of the Hebrew Bible and its Editions some of the top
world scholars and editors of the Hebrew Bible and its versions
present essays on the aims, method, and problems of editing the
biblical text(s), taking as a reference the Complutensian Polyglot,
first modern edition of the Hebrew text and its versions and whose
Fifth Centennial was celebrated in 2014. The main parts of the
volume discuss models of editions from the Renaissance and its
forerunners to the Digital Age, the challenges offered by the
different textual traditions, particular editorial problems of the
individual books of the Bible, and the role played by quotations.
It thus sets a landmark in the future of biblical editions.

The Yasha Ahayah Bible Scriptures Aleph Tav (YASAT) coming out of
Babylon is an English version following the Antioch (Protestant) WORD
of the 1769 King James Bible (KJV), the Textus Receptus, Peshitta and
the Jewish Aleppo Codex.
Did you know in every Bible translation including the KJV that our
Heavenly Father's personal name Ahayah has been taken out and replaced
with titles and even names of pagan deities more than 10,000 times? The
YASAT is designed for those looking to read the word as it was meant to
be, by coming out of Babylon which worshipped foreign Gods. Giving
glory to Ahayah and not pagan gods, like Lord, God, Elohim, EL, Jehovah
and Jesus to name a few. This scripture also replaces "Law" with "Torah
Law," as the law was given to Moses on the temple mount and many
confuse the LAW with the pagan laws found in society.
F. F. Bruce commented on the first edition, "I am glad to give it
my warm commendation. As an introduction to the criticism of the
New Testament it has . . . no equal in English." Since Bruce's
comments on the original edition thirty years ago, this clear and
comprehensive introduction to New Testament textual criticism has
remained a popular text for beginning and intermediate students.
Diagrams, an appendix of Latin terms, supplementary readings, a
bibliography, and an index make this revised edition an invaluable
resource.
