Synopsis: Matthew's Gospel contains material unique to it among the
canonical Gospels. What is the background for this material? Why
does the writer of Matthew's Gospel tell the story of Jesus in the
way he does--including women in his genealogy, telling the story of
the birth of Jesus in his particular way, and including the visit
of the magi led by a star? Enoch and the Gospel of Matthew shows
that the writer of Matthew was familiar with themes and traditions
about the antediluvian patriarch Enoch, including the story of the
fall of the angels called "watchers," who transgress their heavenly
boundaries to engage in illicit relations with women and teach them
forbidden arts. The Gospel writer shows that Jesus brings about the
eschatological repair of the consequences of the watchers' fall as
told in the Enochic legend. This study focuses on Matthew's
genealogy and infancy narrative and also has implications for the
study of women in Matthew, since it is often through the stories of
women in Matthew that the repair of the watchers' transgression
takes place. Endorsements: "Well-written, learned, and arguing a
fascinating thesis, Amy Richter's Enoch and the Gospel of Matthew
makes a welcome contribution to our understanding of Matthew and
the role of apocalyptic themes in the Gospels." --Stephen Fowl,
Loyola College in Maryland "Amy Richter leads us to a deeper
understanding of the Jewishness of the early Jesus movement by
revealing its Enochic apocalyptic roots, far beyond the more
obvious relationship with the Son of Man theology and the book of
Parables. It is a call for New Testament scholars and Second Temple
specialists to work together and explore the many intriguing
connections that make Enochic Judaism the most likely candidate as
the parent movement out of which the Jesus movement was born."
--Gabriele Boccaccini, University of Michigan Author Biography: Amy
E. Richter is visiting instructor in New Testament at St. Mary's
Seminary and University Ecumenical Institute of Theology in
Baltimore, Maryland, and rector of St. Anne's Episcopal Church in
Annapolis, Maryland.

Synopsis: A Man, A Woman, A Word of Love is a new collection of
sermons by two of the finest preachers in the Episcopal Church
today. They also happen to be married to each other. Beautifully
written, compassionate, theologically astute, and oftentimes very
funny, these sermons provide fresh insight into the inexhaustible
riches of God's Word. Following the unfolding story of God's love
in Scripture and tradition, Pagano and Richter lift up different
dimensions of God's love celebrated in the different seasons of the
church year. Informed by the pastoral sensitivity that comes from
years of serving congregations, the wisdom that comes from years of
study, and the grace and wit that comes from years of marriage,
Pagano and Richter offer powerful sermons that glory in the
reconciling love of God and invite us into the ongoing adventure of
being known, redeemed, and transformed by that love. These are
sermons for everyone who wants to know and love the God who already
knows and loves each and every one of us. Endorsements: "Joe and
Amy's sermons are a gift to the church; they are a joy to read and
hear. Like the very best short stories, their sermons are
beautifully constructed, but so infused with warmth, wit, and
wisdom that we are carried away by the narrative. They offer
something for everyone: gentle humor, scholarly observations,
penetrating insights, and often goose bumps--leading us into
discovery about our call as Christians." --Sarah Johnson, Writer
and Editor, Sermons that Work, The Episcopal Church "Engaging
Scripture and the liturgical seasons to trace the movement of love
and desire, Joe Pagano and Amy Richter give us personal,
theological reflections in the form of sermons to propel the
imagination of preachers and nurture all in the journey into God.
They know how to tell a story, play with an image, detail matters
of faith, shape a prayer, and proclaim the presence of God. This is
no collection of sermons, but a well-crafted apologia." --Timothy
F. Sedgwick, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Professor of
Christian Ethics, Virginia Theological Seminary "I invite you to
read this book It is a treasure trove of exquisite jewels and
precious metals, each shining through with the life and love of
God. Creative, intimate, at times funny, deeply grounded in
Scripture, and above all, loving." --Mary D. Glasspool, Bishop
Suffragan, Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles Author Biography: The
Rev. Joseph S. Pagano is Associate Rector at St. Anne's Episcopal
Church in Annapolis, Maryland, and Affiliate Professor of Theology
at Loyola University in Baltimore, Maryland. He is the author of
The Origins and Development of the Triadic Structure of Faith in H.
Richard Niebuhr. The Rev. Amy E. Richter is Rector at St. Anne's
Episcopal Church and Visiting Instructor at the Ecumenical
Institute at St. Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore. She
is the author of Enoch and the Gospel of Matthew.
