In The Language and Literature of the New Testament, a team of
international scholars assembles to honour the academic career of
New Testament scholar Stanley E. Porter. Over the years Porter has
distinguished himself in a wide range of sub-disciplines within New
Testament Studies. The contents of this book represent these
diverse scholarly interests, ranging from canon and textual
criticism to linguistics, other interpretive methodologies, Jesus
and the Gospels, and Pauline studies.
The Interlinear Hebrerw Greek English Bible - Larger Print The only
complete interlinear Bible available in English-and it's keyed to
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Thousands of pastors, students, and
laypeople have found The Interlinear Bible to be a time-saving tool
for researching the subtle nuances and layers of meaning within the
original biblical languages. Featuring the complete Hebrew and
Greek texts with a direct English rendering below each word, it
also includes The Literal Translation of the Bible in the outside
column. But what truly sets this resource apart are the Strong's
numbers printed directly above the Hebrew and Greek words. Strong's
numbers enable even those with no prior knowledge of Greek or
Hebrew to easily access a wealth of language reference works keyed
to Strong's-Greek/Hebrew dictionaries, analytical lexicons,
concordances, word studies, and more. Only a small minority of
Bible students ever achieve the ability to read the original
biblical languages. This resource offers a non-threatening tool for
those lacking language training to begin exploring the languages of
Scripture. Offering a concise, literal translation of each Greek
and Hebrew word, it's a great jumping off point for in-depth Bible
study and text analysis. This Bible displays all the Hebrew,
Aramaic, and Greek words of the Bible in the Masoretic Hebrew Text
and the Received Greek Text, with literal, accurate English
meanings placed directly under each original word in interlinear
form, with Strong's Concordance numbers over each original word,
enabling the Bible student (whether knowing the original languages
or not) to refer to all lexicons and concordances that have also
been coded with Strong's numbers. 2,936 pages, bound in a bonded
leather over boards hardback edition. This new edition has been
much improved by a new typesetting of the New Testament (Volume
IV), with larger print, the left marginal column containing a newly
revised Literal Translation of the Bible (2000), and a right
marginal column containing the Authorized/King James Version
(1769). Jay P. Green, Sr. (1918-) is Translator and Editor of The
Interlinear Hebrew-Greek-English Bible and the translator of the
Modern King James Version of the Holy Bible, The Teenage Version of
the Holy Bible, and the Literal translation of the Holy Bible. He
has written numerous books on textual criticism.

Over the course of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, as more
and more vernacular commentaries on the Decalogue were produced
throughout Europe, the moral system of the Ten Commandments
gradually became more prominent. The Ten Commandments proved to be
a topic from which numerous proponents of pastoral and lay
catechesis drew inspiration. God's commands were discussed and
illustrated in sermons and confessor's manuals, and they spawned
new theological and pastoral treatises both Catholic and Reformed.
But the Decalogue also served several authors, including Dante,
Petrarch, and Christine de Pizan. Unlike the Seven Deadly Sins, the
Ten Commandments supported a more positive image of mankind, one
that embraced the human potential for introspection and the
conscious choice to follow God's Law.
Extra features have been written especially for those who are new

references * Suggested ways to begin reading * 100 famous stories *
An overview of the biblical story in 40 key passages * Where to

listing the preceding or following books in the margin of every

This volume brings gender studies to bear on Micah's powerful
rhetoric, interpreting the book within its ancient and modern
contexts. Julia M. O'Brien traces resonances of Micah's language
within the Persian Period community in which the book was composed,
evaluating recent study of the period and the dynamics of power
reflected in ancient sources. Also sampling the book's reception by
diverse readers in various time periods, she considers the
real-life implications of Micah's gender constructs. By bringing
the ancient and modern contexts of Micah into view, the volume
encourages readers to reflect on the significance of Micah's
construction of the world. Micah's perspective on sin, salvation,
the human condition, and the nature of YHWH affects the way people
live-in part by shaping their own thought and in part by shaping
the power structures in which they live. O'Brien's engagement with
Micah invites readers to discern in community their own hopes and
dreams: What is justice? What should the future look like? What
should we hope for? From the Wisdom Commentary series Feminist
biblical interpretation has reached a level of maturity that now
makes possible a commentary series on every book of the Bible. It
is our hope that Wisdom Commentary, by making the best of current
feminist biblical scholarship available in an accessible format to
ministers, preachers, teachers, scholars, and students, will aid
all readers in their advancement toward God's vision of dignity,
equality, and justice for all. The aim of this commentary is to
provide feminist interpretation of Scripture in serious, scholarly
engagement with the whole text, not only those texts that
explicitly mention women. A central concern is the world in front
of the text, that is, how the text is heard and appropriated by
women. At the same time, this commentary aims to be faithful to the
ancient text, to explicate the world behind the text, where
appropriate, and not impose contemporary questions onto the ancient
texts. The commentary addresses not only issues of gender (which
are primary in this project) but also those of power, authority,
ethnicity, racism, and classism, which all intersect. Each volume
incorporates diverse voices and differing interpretations from
different parts of the world, showing the importance of social
location in the process of interpretation and that there is no
single definitive feminist interpretation of a text.
