Basics of Ancient Ethiopic by Archie Wright introduces students to
the basic grammar of ancient Ethiopic (Ge'ez) while approaching the
language through its wider cultural and literary context, and its
historical legacy. As part of the widely-used Zondervan Language
Basics series of resources, Wright's Ethiopic grammar is a
student-friendly introduction. It helps students learn by:
Minimizing technical jargon Providing only the information needed
to learn the basics Breaking the grammar of language down into
manageable and intuitive chunks Illustrating the grammar in
question by its use in rich selections from ancient Christian and
the Second Temple Jewish books of 1 Enoch and Jubilees Providing
grammar, readings, exercises, and a lexicon all in one convenient
volume Basics of Ethiopic provides an ideal first step into this
important language and focuses on getting the student into texts
and translation as quickly as possible.
The Spirit Says offers a stunning collection of articles by an
influential assemblage of scholars, all of whom lend considerable
insight to the relationship between inspiration and interpretation.
They address this otherwise intractable question with deft and
occasionally daring readings of a variety of texts from the ancient
world, including-but not limited to-the scriptures of early Judaism
and Christianity. The thrust of this book can be summed up not so
much in one question as in four: o What is the role of revelation
in the interpretation of Scripture? o What might it look like for
an author to be inspired? o What motivates a claim to the inspired
interpretation of Scripture? o Who is inspired to interpret
Scripture? More often than not, these questions are submerged in
this volume under the tame rubrics of exegesis and hermeneutics,
but they rise in swells and surges too to the surface, not just
occasionally but often. Combining an assortment of prominent
voices, this book does not merely offer signposts along the way. It
charts a pioneering path toward a model of interpretation that is
at once intellectually robust and unmistakably inspired.
Early Jewish Literature: An Anthology offers more than seventy
selections from Second Temple-era Jewish literature, each
introduced and translated by a leading scholar in the field.
Organized by genre, this two-volume anthology presents both
complete works and substantial excerpts of longer works, giving
readers a solid introduction to the major works of the era-the Dead
Sea Scrolls, the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, the writings of
Josephus and Philo of Alexandria, and the Septuagint (Apocrypha).
The substantive introduction to each selection includes these
elements: narrative description; author/provenance; date/occasion;
text, language, sources, and transmission; theology; and reception
during the Second Temple period. Additional student aids include a
list of further readings on each selection, a section of maps, a
glossary of biographical names, and a glossary of terms. With
contributors and translators including such noted scholars as James
Charlesworth, Sidnie White Crawford, James D. G. Dunn, Peter W.
Flint, and James VanderKam, this anthology will be an essential
resource for all students of early Jewish literature and emerging
Christian traditions.
This book considers the academic treatment of biblical
interpretation in the renewal movement, the fastest growing
tradition in Christendom today.
The initial chapter surveys the history of biblical
interpretation in the renewal tradition and provides a conceptual
basis for the book. In Part II, six renewal scholars outline a
proposal for the future of biblical hermeneutics in the tradition.
These authors address certain key questions. What is the role of
the Holy Spirit in biblical interpretation? What are the
distinctive presuppositions, methods and goals of renewal biblical
hermeneutics? Three prominent biblical scholars ( Craig G.
Bartholomew, James D.G. Dunn, R. Walter L. Moberly ) respond to the
proposals outlined above. These critical responses deepen the
examination of renewal biblical hermeneutics as well as increase
its appeal to biblical and theological scholars in general.
The final chapteroffers asynthesis and evaluation ofthe
accomplishments of the discussion, as well as anassessment ofthe
state of the discipline with an eye toward the future.
