Upbeat drama in which a retired boxer turned school janitor helps a bullied child stand up to his tormentors. Dan Barnes (Steve Austin) is an ex-professional boxer who gave up the sport partly from fatigue and partly in search of a less violent way of life. When he begins working in the more sedate role of a high school janitor, he is surprised to find that his fighting gifts may come in handy. One of the children at the school, Matthew (Daniel Magder), is being cruelly bullied by some of his classmates. Taking on the role of mentor, Dan teaches Matthew to box. Though one of the boy's tormentors, Hector (Jaren Brandt Bartlett), is the current school boxing champion, under the expert guidance of his tutor Matthew just might spring a surprise on the bullies.

Twenty-two essays, written by top scholars in the fields of early Christianity and Judaism, focus on methodological issues, earliest Christianity in its Judaic setting, Gospel studies, and history and meaning in later Christianity. These essays honor Bruce Chilton, recognizing his seminal contribution to the study of earliest Christianity in its Judaic setting. Chilton's scholarship has established innovative approaches to reconstructing the life of Jesus, a Jew whose religious ideology developed and therefore must be understood within the Judaism of the first centuries. Following upon Chilton's approaches and insights, the essays collected here illustrate the centrality of the literatures of early Judaism to the critical exegesis of the New Testament and other writings of early Christianity.
