Gain Insights on Mark's Christology from Today's Leading Scholars
The Gospel of Mark, widely assumed to be the earliest narrative of
Jesus's life and the least explicit in terms of Christology, has
long served as a worktable for the discovery of Christian origins
and developing theologies. The past ten years of scholarship have
seen an unprecedented shift toward an early, high Christology, the
notion that very early in the history of the Jesus movement his
followers worshipped him as God. Other studies have challenged this
view, arguing that Mark's story is incomplete, intentionally
ambiguous, or presents Jesus in entirely human terms. Christology
in Mark's Gospel: Four Views brings together key voices in
conversation in order to offer a clear entry point into early
Christians' understanding of Jesus's identity: Sandra Huebenthal
(Suspended Christology), Larry W. Hurtado (Mark's Presentation of
Jesus; with rejoinder by Chris Keith), J. R. Daniel Kirk (Narrative
Christology of a Suffering King), and Adam Winn (Jesus as the YHWH
of Israel in the Gospel of Mark). Each author offers a robust
presentation of their position, followed by lively interaction with
the other contributors and one "last-word" rejoinder. The
significance of this discussion is contextualized by the general
editor Anthony Le Donne's introduction and summarized in the
conclusion. The CriticalPoints Series offers rigorous and nuanced
engagement between today's best scholars for advancing the
scholarship of tomorrow. Like its older sibling, the CounterPoints
Series, it provides a forum for comparison and critique of
different positions, focusing on critical issues in today's
Christian scholarship: in biblical studies, in theology, and in
philosophy.

When Sam the library mouse and his friend Sarah wake to find the
library being packed up to prepare for a major renovation, they
realize they won't have a home during the construction. So off they
go in search of a new place to live. Sam knows research is key, so
he finds books about architectural styles to get ideas for building
a temporary home from objects found around the library. They build
and live in a variety of houses: a castle, an igloo, a yurt, a
modern house, and even a geodesic dome. But none feels like home to
Sam. Finally, though, the renovation of the library is complete,
and they can move back to their true home, the library! The book
includes photos of the real house styles discussed in the text and
a relevant glossary of architectural terms. Praise for Library
Mouse: Home Sweet Home "Kirk's familiar gouache illustrations
maintain a mouse perspective filled with library details. This
clever presentation of world housing types has three pages of
backmatter that describes each style and its location. Not only is
the story amusing, but the information will be useful in
classrooms." --Kirkus Reviews "Newcomers and fans of the previous
titles will welcome this tale, and librarians will put it to good
use in their research lessons." --School Library Journal "This is a
fine use of light fantasy to teach a little lesson about building
structures, and it will be especially useful to those preparing
children for the disruptions that come with home renovations."
--Booklist
A father and child get up early for a trip to watch the sunrise on
the mountaintop. Along the way they meet many friendly faces, some
headed the same direction and others in their own vehicles - big
rigs, bulldozers and trains - with their own places to go and
things to do. Nothing beats the start of a brand new day,
especially when there are many vehicles to spot along the way. With
a simple, playful text and boldly coloured, toy-like illustrations,
Daniel Kirk captures the fun of a special drive.
The alphabet comes to zooming, vrooming life with vehicles for
every letter, A to Z! A big, boxy bus drives up for letter B, a
kayak floats by for letter K, and a rocket blasts off for letter R.
A fun and thrilling range of planes, trains, automobiles, and more
take readers on a ride through this charming early-learning book.
Beloved picture book author Rhonda Gowler Greene and illustrator
Daniel Kirk join forces for another classic rhyming story for every
fan of things that go!
This book introduces BlastSim - a physics-based simulation platform
to model and simulate suicide bombing events. The BlastSim software
is designed to test, analyze, and validate the results of different
explosive and injury model combinations under various conditions
with different sets of parameters, such as explosive and crowd
formation characteristics, blockage and human shielding effects,
fragmentation and shrapnel, and the bomber's position in 2- and
3-dimensional environments. The suicide bombing event can also be
re-created for forensic analysis. The number of fatalities and
injured after a suicide bombing event can be predicted using this
software with 91% accuracy. The assessment of an explosion's effect
on a crowd can lead to better management of disasters, triage of
patients, locating blast victims under the debris, development of
protective gear, and safe distance recommendations to reduce
casualties.
Readers of the Bible are often drawn to Jesus's message and
ministry, but they are not as positively inclined toward Paul. What
should people who love Jesus do with Paul? Here Pauline scholar J.
R. Daniel Kirk offers a fresh and timely engagement of the debated
relationship between Paul's writings and the portrait of Jesus
contained in the Gospels. He integrates the messages of Jesus and
Paul both with one another and with the Old Testament,
demonstrating the continuity that exists between these two
foundational figures. After laying out the narrative contours of
the Christian life, Kirk provides fresh perspective on challenging
issues facing today's world, from environmental concerns to social
justice to homosexuality.
If the God of Israel has acted to save his people through Christ,
but Israel is not participating in that salvation, how then can
this God be considered righteous? Unlocking Romans is directed in
large extent toward answering this question in order to illuminate
the righteousness of God as revealed in the book of Romans. The
answer here, J. R. Daniel Kirk claims, comes mainly in terms of
resurrection. Even if only the most obvious references in Romans
are considered -- and Kirk certainly delves more deeply than that
-- the theme of resurrection appears not only in every section of
the letter but also at climactic moments of Paul's argument. The
network of connections among Jesus' resurrection, Israel's
Scriptures, and redefining the people of God serves to affirm God's
fidelity to Israel. This, in turn, demonstrates Paul's gospel
message to be a witness to the revelation of the righteousness of
God.
Stimulated by the signal contributions that New Testament scholar
Richard B. Hays has made to Christology and Christian ethics, the
essays collected here carry forward conversations involving close
studies of particular passages in the Gospels and Epistles and
wider-ranging forays into big questions in those fields. Some
essays build on Hays's work, pushing forward in new directions on
questions of scriptural intertextuality, Christology, and
participation in Christ. Others challenge his work on questions of
method and substance alike. But all reflect appreciation for the
advances made by this giant of twentieth and twenty-first century
New Testament scholarship.
Global Issues in Education bridges the discourse on globalization
and education with international studies on race, class, gender,
ethnicity, culture, and multiculturalism. The contributors to this
volume address educational challenges of post-colonial Ghana, the
United Arab Emirates, the Caribbean, China, and Germany juxtaposed
against Western education in the United Kingdom and the United
States. They synthesize macrosociology with educational research,
which provides readers with the background, core knowledge, and
global focus that is needed to understand international issues, as
well as deal with diversity in the classroom. Global Issues in
Education also addresses the need for additional research that
makes the connections between the geopolitical economy and
education, and it does this with a focus on the link to culture,
ethnicity, and education.
Thought-provoking alternative perspective on the full humanity of
Jesus Christ In A Man Attested by God J. R. Daniel Kirk presents a
comprehensive defense of the thesis that the Synoptic Gospels
present Jesus not as divine but as an idealized human figure.
Counterbalancing the recent trend toward early high Christology in
such scholars as Richard Bauckham, Simon Gathercole, and Richard
Hays, Kirk here thoroughly unpacks the humanity of Jesus as
understood by Gospel writers whose language is rooted in the
religious and literary context of early Judaism. Without dismissing
divine Christologies out of hand, Kirk argues that idealized human
Christology is the best way to read the Synoptic Gospels, and he
explores Jesus as exorcist and miracle worker within the framework
of his humanity. With wide-ranging exegetical and theological
insight that sheds startling new light on familiar Gospel texts, A
Man Attested by God offers up-to-date, provocative scholarship that
will have to be reckoned with.
