The collaborative work of a biblical scholar and a biology
professor, Science, Scripture, and Homosexuality addresses
scripture passages relating to homosexuality and explains the
foundation of genetics and the growing evidence suggesting an
organic basis for sexual orientation. The authors argue that the
role of the homosexual, as well as the heterosexual, within the
Church should be based upon common criteria for all. Written in a
highly accessible manner, the book is ideal for congregational
discussion.
Since at least the 19th century Hebrew Bible scholarship has
traditionally seen priests and prophets as natural opponents, with
different social spheres and worldviews. In recent years several
studies have started to question this perspective. The Priests in
the Prophets examines how the priests are portrayed in the Latter
Prophets and analyzes the relationship between priests and
prophets. The contributors also provide insights into the place of
priests, prophets, and some other religious specialists in
Israelite and Judean society in pre-exilic and post-exilic times.
This book focuses on biblical stories about women, collected in one
volume, paraphrases and interprets them from multiple and diverse
scholars and in addition highlights the benefits and problems of
the stories for contempory women.
This best-selling book, now revised and updated, shares the work
of many feminist biblical scholars who have examined women's
stories for several years. These stories are powerful accounts of
women in the Old Testament--stories that have profoundly affected
how women understand themselves as well as men's perception of
them. Here, Alice Bellis shares the research of feminist biblical
scholarship during a quarter of a century, which renders a vast
amount of refreshing, exciting, sometimes disturbing material.
