Many Christians find the virgin birth a difficult doctrine and are
not sure how to handle it. This book examines why that is by
addressing the whole range of issues that arise - literary,
historical and hermeneutical - from a perspective that takes
seriously creedal confession and theological and ecclesiological
concerns. incoln's investigation of the primary sources for the
virgin birth leads him to consider the literary genre and
distinctive characteristics of the New Testament birth narratives
as part of ancient biography, and to reassess the likely
historicity of the traditions that Matthew and Luke have in common.
He then looks at how changes in our views of history and biology
decisively affect any traditional understanding of the virgin
birth, exploring what that means for the authority of Scripture and
creed, and for our understanding of Christology.
Ranging over political, moral, religious, artistic and literary
developments in eighteenth-century Britain, Andrew Lincoln explains
in a clear and engaging style how the 'civilizing process' and the
rise of humanitarianism, far from inhibiting war, helped to make it
acceptable to a modern commercial society. In a close examination
of a wide variety of illuminating examples, he shows how criticism
of the terrible effects of war could be used to promote the
nation's war-making. His study explores how ideas and methods were
developed to provide the British public with moral insulation from
the overseas violence they read about, and from the dire effects of
war they encountered at home. It shows, too, how the first
campaigning peace society, while promoting pacificism, drew
inspiration from the prospects opened by imperial conquest. This
volume is an important and timely call to rethink how we understand
the cultural and moral foundations of imperial Britain.
Walter Scott and Modernity argues that, far from turning away from
modernity to indulge a nostalgic vision of the past, Scott uses the
past as means of exploring key problems in the modern world. This
study includes critical introductions to some of the most widely
read poems published in nineteenth-century Britain (which are also
the most scandalously neglected), and insights into the narrative
strategies and ideological interests of some of Scott's greatest
novels. It explores the impact of the French revolution on
attitudes to tradition, national heritage, historical change and
modernity in the romantic period, considers how the experience of
empire influenced ideas about civilized identity, and how ideas of
progress could be used both to rationalise the violence of empire
and to counteract demands for political reform. It also shows how
current issues of debate - from relations between Western and
Islamic cultures, to the political significance of the private
conscience in a liberal society - are anticipated in the romantic
era. Key Features * Explains the historical, political and
aesthetic significance of Scott's 'Tory scepticism' * Considers the
relationship between Scott's interests and twentieth-first-century
debates about nation, empire, community, identity and state
legitimacy * Includes detailed analyses of three of Scott's most
influential poems * Offers detailed, and carefully historicised
interpretations in an accessible style
This book will appeal to those many Christians who struggle with
the concept of the virgin birth. Andrew Lincoln's Born of a Virgin?
begins by discussing why the virgin birth is such a difficult and
divisive topic for Christians. The book then deals with a whole
range of literary, historical, and hermeneutical issues from a
perspective that takes seriously creedal confessions and
theological concerns. As part of his exegetical investigation of
the New Testament texts, Lincoln considers the literary genre and
distinctive characteristics of the birth narratives as ancient
biography. Further, he delineates how changes in our views of
history and biology decisively affect any traditional understanding
of the significance of an actual virgin birth, and he explores what
that means for the authority of Scripture and creed, along with
implications for Christology and for preaching and teaching from
the birth narratives.

In Christology and Scripture leading biblical scholars and
theologians explore the relation of theological thought to the
reading of Scripture. The focus is on three inter-related issues.
The first is how theologians appropriately read Scripture around
Christ, and what contribution, if any, historical-criticism makes
to this endeavour. The second is that of the person and work of
Christ in relation to Scripture. In interaction with specific
texts, contributors engage with the related questions of who Christ
is and how his benefits are communicated. This leads on to the
final issue of responsiveness to our current context of reading,
and contributors reflect on how Christological models relate to
contemporary cultural and political concerns.
All ten episodes from the second season of the popular Channel 4
drama series set in the fictional Summerdown Comprehensive, where
the teachers are just as juvenile (if not more so) than the
teenagers they are supposed to be educating. In Episode 1, Simon
(Andrew Lincoln) breezes into school after getting back late from a
holiday in Tenerife with Brian (Adrian Bower) and Kurt (Navin
Chowdhry). In Episode 2, Simon is so jealous of popular new
languages tutor JP (Shaun Evans) that he refuses to go out for a
drink with the usual crowd. Episode 3 finds Simon getting
increasingly sexually frustrated after nine weeks without sex. In
Episode 4, JP comes out to his new flatmates, and Kurt and Simon
try to convince Brian that he is gay, too. Episode 5 finds Susan
(Raquel Cassidy) being driven crazy by Alec (Damien Goodwin), who
walks around the flat with nothing on in between his very noisy sex
sessions with her flatmate, Jenny (Nina Sosanya). In Episode 6,
head of department Bob (Lloyd McGuire) is doing all he can to catch
Penny's (Tamzin Malleson) eye. Episode 7 sees Susan getting broody
after holding the baby of a schoolgirl mum - but when she meets the
single mother of another problem pupil, she soon changes her mind.
In Episode 8, Simon is feeling bored and dissatisfied with his
life, and decides to take a drastic step to change things. In
Episode 9, Simon has taken off for South America, leaving his
colleagues to cover his classes. Finally, in Episode 10, Christmas
is just around the corner, and Simon's replacement, Matt (James
Lance) arrives to step into his shoes.
Hebrews: A Guidesheds light on an important, but often overlooked,
New Testament book. In this highly accessible introductory guide,
Lincoln aims to provide a broad appreciation of the setting,
background, argument, and overall thought of Hebrews. Lincoln
argues that the controversy surrounding Hebrews, and the question
of whether or not one should consider it an apostolical text, has
resulted in its being the object of relative neglect in biblical
scholarship. He maintains that if the reader puts the issue of
authorship to one side, they will find that its writer is not only
the most elegant stylist among the New Testament writers but also a
first-class theologian and pastor in his own right, whose message
continues to speak effectively to Christians today.

Hebrews is in some respects more demanding of its readers than the
other books of the New Testament, it's meaning perhaps more
ambiguous. This guide is intended to enable a greater appreciation
of the distinctive voice of Hebrews within the New Testament canon
and to underline the significance of its message. >
