Written as an introductory food science textbook that excites
students and fosters learning, the first edition of Introducing
Food Science broke new ground. With an easy-to-read format and
innovative sections such as Looking Back, Remember This!, and
Looking Ahead, it quickly became popular with students and
professors alike. This newly revised second edition keeps the
features that made the first edition so well liked, while adding
updated information as well as new tables, figures, exercises, and
problems. See What's New in the Second Edition: New chapter
Sustainability and Distribution Approximately 60 new tables and
figures New section at the end of each chapter with problems /
exercises to test comprehension Now includes a glossary The book
consists of four sections with each one building on the previous
section to provide a logical structure and cohesiveness. It
contains a series of problems at the end of each chapter to help
students test their ability to comprehend the material and to
provide instructors a reservoir for assignments, class discussions,
and test questions. At least one problem at the end of each chapter
involves a calculation so that students can strengthen their
quantitative skills. The text introduces the basics of food science
and then building on this foundation, explores it sub-disciplines.
The well-rounded presentation conveys both commercial and
scientific perspectives, providing a true flavor of food science
and preparing students for future studies in this field.

This volume traces the influences of first century Corinthian
secular leadership on local church leadership as reflected in 1
Corinthians 1-6. It then shows how Paul modifies the Corinthian
understanding of church leadership.
By comparing secular leadership in first century Corinthian society
with leadership in the Corinthian church, it has been argued that
one of Paul's major concerns with the church in Corinth is the
extent to which significant members in the church were employing
secular categories and perceptions of leadership in the Christian
community.
This volume has adopted the method of assessing the New Testament
evidence in the light of its social and historical background. Both
literary and non-literary sources, rather than modern sociological
models, were employed in making the comparison.
Scholarly studies consider Paul's views on leadership tend to fall
into one of three camps: 1) the historical development view, which
in large measure identifies developments in church practice with
developments in Pauline and deutero-Pauline ecclesiology; 2) the
synchronic, historical reconstruction, typically making use of
Graeco-Roman, social context sources, or social-scientific
modelling, focusing on a single congregation, and sometimes
distinguishing between the situation to which Paul was responding
and the pattern he sought to impose; and 3) the
theological/hermeneutical analysis, identifying Paul's particular
approach to power and authority, often independently of any
detailed reconstruction of the situations to which Paul was
responding. Andrew Clarke has explored in an earlier work, Serve
the Community of the Church (Eerdmans, 2000), the distinctive,
local and historical situations in the various Pauline communities
and concluded that there is no evidence that they organised
themselves according to a common set of governmental structures
which clearly developed with the passage of time. Rather each
community was influenced by its own localized, social and cultural
context. The present project builds on this, and necessarily
focuses on leadership style rather than church order. It seeks to
recover from Paul's critical responses, his generic ethos of church
leadership, including the ideal qualities, characteristics and task
of leaders and the nature of appropriate interaction and engagement
with church members. In the light of current, theoretical
discussions about power and gender, the study focuses particularly
on Paul's attitude towards hierarchy, egalitarianism, authority,
responsibility and privilege.
May 2003 is the 300th anniversary of the birth of John Wesley. This
is a beautifully written biography intended for a general audience.
While not at all hagiographical, the book leads one to admire
Wesley immensely. He traveled throughout the British Isles more
than anyone in history. Reviled early on during his plein air
evangelical crusades, he became deeply loved in old age by all
sectors of the population. While the book has a slightly British
cast to it (which is unavoidable given the extent of Wesley's
travels throughout Britain), it gives adequate coverage to his
period in the American colonies.
This Prodigious New Six-Volume series presents the results of
interdisciplinary research between New Testament, Jewish, and
classical scholarship. Working to place the Book of Acts within its
first-century setting, well-known historians and biblical scholars
from Australia, the United States, Canada, Russia, and the United
Kingdom have collaborated here to provide a stimulating new study
that replaces The Beginnings of Christianity and other older
studies on Acts. Starting with the understanding that the Book of
Acts is rooted within the setting of the peoples and cultures of
the Mediterranean in the first century A.D., this comprehensive
series provides a multifaceted approach to the Acts of the Apostles
in its literary, regional, cultural, ideological, and theological
contexts. The composition of Acts is discussed beside the writing
of ancient literary monographs and intellectual biographies. Recent
epigraphic and papyrological discoveries also help illumine the
text of Acts. Archaeological fieldwork, especially in Greece and
Asia Minor, has yielded valuable information about the local
setting of Acts and the religious life of urban communities in the
Roman Empire. These volumes draw on the best of this research to
elucidate the Book of Acts against the background of activity in
which early Christianity was born. The Book of Acts in Its Ancient
Literary Setting is the first volume in this groundbreaking series.
The book includes fourteen chapters devoted to the literary
framework that undergirds the Book of Acts. Topics include the text
as an historical monograph, ancient rhetoric and speeches, the
Pauline corpus, biblical history, subsequent ecclesiastical
histories, and modernliterary method. All of these chapters arise
out of a consultation by the project's scholars at Cambridge in
March 1993.
This volume explores the nature of leadership in the Christian
community, especially as it was variously taught by Paul and
practiced in the congregations of the first century. Exploring
valuable ancient source material as well as the New Testament
texts, Andrew Clarke describes the theories and practices of
organization and leadership in key areas of first-century
society-the city, the colony, associations, Jewish synagogues, the
family-and discusses the extent to which these models influenced
the first-century Christians as they sought to define the
parameters and distinctives of their own communities.
