Because print publishing was often neither possible nor desirable
for women in the early modern period, in order to understand the
range of writing by women and indeed women's literary history
itself, it is important that scholars consider women's writing in
manuscript. Since the body of critical studies on women's writing
for the most part prioritizes print over manuscript, this essay
collection provides an essential corrective. The essays in this
volume discuss many of the ways in which women participated in
early modern manuscript culture. The manuscripts studied by the
contributors originated in a wide range of different milieux,
including the royal Court, the universities, gentry and
aristocratic households in England and Ireland, and French
convents. Their contents are similarly varied: original and
transcribed secular and devotional verse, religious meditations,
letters, moral precepts in French and English, and recipes are
among the genres represented. Emphasizing the manuscripts' social,
political and religious contexts, the contributors challenge
commonly held notions about women's writing in English in the early
modern period, and bring to light many women whose work has not
been considered before.

Four biblical scholars offer passage-by-passage commentary through
the narratives of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, and Ezekiel,
explaining difficult doctrines, shedding light on overlooked
sections, and making applications to life and ministry today. Part
of the ESV Expository Commentary.
The core of Malachi's covenantal imagination is shaped by his
reflection on an authoritative collection of source texts in the
Hebrew Bible. The mention of people, nations and places,
Deuteronomic terminology, and rare words and unique word/root
combinations exclusive to Malachi and only a few other texts
encourages the book to be read in the context of received biblical
traditions and texts. The diversity of methodologies used
previously to analyse Malachi has resulted in confusion about the
significance of the inner-biblical connections in the book of
Malachi, which Gibson clarifies. His reading frees the text of
Malachi from being overburdened by too many "intertexts", and
allows its central message of covenant to arise with greater
clarity and force. Gibson reveals how Malachi's connections to
earlier source texts are neither random nor causal; rather, they
have been strategically employed to inform and shape his central
theme of covenant continuity and fidelity.
There is a palpable sense of confusion--and sometimes even
embarrassment--with regard to so-called limited atonement today,
pointing to the need for thoughtful engagement with this
controversial doctrine. Incorporating contributions from a host of
respected theologians, From Heaven He Came and Sought Her stands as
the first comprehensive resource on definite atonement as it
examines the issue from historical, biblical, theological, and
pastoral perspectives.
Offering scholarly insights for those seeking a thorough and
well-researched discussion, this book will encourage charitable
conversations as it winsomely defends this foundational tenet of
Reformed theology.
