Bored of life in Vancouver, a sheltered, directionless young man
goes to South Korea for a change. He seeks to find out what it's
like to live and work in a different culture. There, he meets and
befriends a group of similar people - adventurers, dreamers and
misfits - who hope to get what they can out of their time in a
rapidly growing country with its own set of problems. Teaching in a
new suburb, in a largely conservative city, Dan Brown spends a year
away learning, educating and getting wasted.
Volume III of the highly respected Theological Dictionary of the
Old Testament expands the scope of this fundamental reference tool
for biblical studies. Ranging from gillulim (-idols-) to haras (-to
tear down-), these 57 articles include thorough etymological
analysis of the Hebrew roots and their derivatives within the
context of Semitic and cognate languages, diachronically
considered, as well as Septuagint, New Testament, and
extracanonical usages.
This multivolume work is still proving to be as fundamental to Old
Testament studies as its companion set, the Kittel-Friedrich
Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, has been to New
Testament studies. Beginning with 'abh ('ab), -father, - and
continuing through the alphabet, the TDOT volumes present in-depth
discussions of the key Hebrew and Aramaic words in the Old
Testament. Leading scholars of various religious traditions
(including Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican, Greek
Orthodox, and Jewish) and from many parts of the world (Denmark,
France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Israel, Italy, the
Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States)
have been carefully selected for each article by editors
Botterweck, Ringgren, and Fabry and their consultants, George W.
Anderson, Henri Cazelles, David Noel Freedman, Shemaryahu Talmon,
and Gerhard Wallis. The intention of the writers is to concentrate
on meaning, starting from the more general, everyday senses and
building to an understanding of theologically significant concepts.
To avoid artificially restricting the focus of the articles, TDOT
considers under each keyword the larger groups of words that are
related linguistically or semantically. The lexical work includes
detailed surveys of a word's occurrences, not only in biblical
material but also in other ancient Near Eastern writings. Sumerian,
Akkadian, Egyptian, Ethiopic, Ugaritic, and Northwest Semitic
sources are surveyed, among others, as well as the Qumran texts and
the Septuagint; and in cultures where no cognate word exists, the
authors often consider cognate ideas. TDOT's emphasis, though, is
on Hebrew terminology and on biblical usage. The contributors
employ philology as well as form-critical and traditio-historical
methods, with the aim of understanding the religious statements in
the Old Testament. Extensive bibliographical information adds to
the value of this reference work. This English edition attempts to
serve the needs of Old Testament students without the linguistic
background of more advanced scholars; it does so, however, without
sacrificing the needs of the latter. Ancient scripts (Hebrew,
Greek, etc.) are regularly transliterated in a readable way, and
meanings of foreign words are given in many cases where the
meanings might be obvious to advanced scholars. Where the Hebrew
text versification differs from that of English Bibles, the English
verse appears in parentheses. Such features will help all earnest
students of the Bible to avail themselves of the manifold
theological insights contained in this monumental work.

Gerardus van der Leeuw was one of the first to attempt a
rapprochement between theology and the arts, and his influence
continues to be felt in what is now a burgeoning field. Sacred and
Profane is the fullest expression of his pursuit of a theological
aesthetics, surveying religion's relationship to all the arts --
dance, drama, literature, painting, sculpture, architecture, and
music. This edition makes this seminal work, first published in
Dutch in 1932, newly available. A new foreword by Diane
Apostolos-Cappadona analyzes the continuing relevance of van der
Leeuw's thought.
Van der Leeuw's impassioned and brilliant investigation of the
relationship between the holy and the beautiful is founded upon the
conviction that for too long the religious have failed to seriously
contemplate the beautiful, associating it as they do with the
kingdom of sensuality and impermanence. Similarly it has been alien
to literati and aesthetes to reflect upon the holy, for they choose
to consider this physical world to be permanent, and therefore to
be glorified through beauty alone. In truth, as van der Leeuw
undertakes to show in Sacred and Profane Beauty, the holy has never
been absent from the arts, and the arts have never been
unresponsive to the holy. Whether one considers the Homeric epics,
the dancing Sivas and Vedic poems, the sacred wall paintings of
ancient Egypt, the primitive mask, or the range of sacred arts
developed out of Latin and Byzantine Christianity, primordial
creation in the arts was always directed toward the symbolization
and interpretation of the holy. The fact that in our day this
original connection is obscured and the artistic impulse is more
generally regarded as whollyindividualistic and autonomous does not
contradict van der Leeuw's thesis; indeed, the breakdown of the
unity of the holy and the arts is central to his thesis.
Van der Leeuw was the rare thinker who combined profundity of
insight, grace of style, and a willingness to take daring
intellectual chances. In Sacred and Profane, he describes each of
the arts in its original unity with the religious and then analyzes
its historical disjunction and alienation. After a penetrating
investigation of the structural elements within the arts which
illumines a crucial dimension of the religious experience, van der
Leeuw points toward the reemergence of an appropriate theological
aesthetics on which a reunification of the arts could be founded.
David Ezra Green (1910-83) was an American biochemist who made
important contributions to the field of enzymology. In this book,
which was originally published in 1940, Green provides a detailed
account of the 'mechanisms of cellular oxidation'. Notes and
illustrative figures are incorporated throughout. This book will be
of value to anyone with an interest in biochemistry, the study of
enzymes and the history of science.

This book does what no other introductory work does; it displays
clearly and simply the interplay of forces, people, and events that
were key to the birth and gradual expansion of early Christianity.
