The last three decades have seen an explosion of biblical
scholarship on the presence and consequences of the oral expression
of tradition among Jesus' followers, especially in the earliest
decades of the Common Era. There is a wealth of scholarship focused
on 'orality'. This scholarship is, however, abstract and technical
almost by definition, and to date no introductory discussion exists
that can introduce a new generation of biblical students to the
issues being discussed at higher levels of scholarship. Rafael
Rodriguez address this gap. Rodriguez adopts a fourfold structure
to cover the topic, beginning with basic essentials for further
discussion of oral-tradition research and definitions of key terms
(the 'what'). He then moves on to discuss the key players in this
area (the 'who') before examining the methods involved in
oral-tradition research among New Testament scholars (the 'how').
Finally Rodriguez provides examples of the ways in which
oral-tradition research can bring texts into clearer focus (the
'why'). The result is a comprehensive introduction to this key area
in New Testament studies.
This book puts great emphasis on the importance of Integrated Water
Resources Management IWRM as the way forward towards food, water,
and energy security. It offers better ways and means of managing
the limited water resources; using water more efficiently; adopting
new policies in order to cope with climate change and drought;
increase water supply through the use of non conventional water
resources, especially waste water; inducing stakeholders
participation and information exchange and raise public awareness
to the value of water. It is an important book for all those
involved in all aspects of water resources and contains valuable
information for scientists, researchers, farmers, extension
services and students.
Social memory research has complicated the relationship between
past and present because it is a relationship which finds
expression in memorial acts such as storytelling and
text-production. This relationship has emerged as a dialectic in
which "past" and "present" are mutually constitutive and
implicating. The resultant complication directly affects the
procedures and products of "historical Jesus" research, which
depends particularly on the assumption that we can cleanly separate
"authentic" from "inauthentic" traditions. In Structuring Early
Christian Memory Rafael Rodriguez analyzes the problems that arise
from this assumption and proposes a "historical Jesus" program that
is more sensitive to the entanglement of past and present.
This work collects the most important results presented at the
Congress on Differential Equations and Applications/Congress on
Applied Mathematics (CEDYA/CMA) in Cadiz (Spain) in 2015. It
supports further research in differential equations, numerical
analysis, mechanics, control and optimization. In particular, it
helps readers gain an overview of specific problems of interest in
the current mathematical research related to different branches of
applied mathematics. This includes the analysis of nonlinear
partial differential equations, exact solutions techniques for
ordinary differential equations, numerical analysis and numerical
simulation of some models arising in experimental sciences and
engineering, control and optimization, and also trending topics on
numerical linear Algebra, dynamical systems, and applied
mathematics for Industry. This volume is mainly addressed to any
researcher interested in the applications of mathematics,
especially in any subject mentioned above. It may be also useful to
PhD students in applied mathematics, engineering or experimental
sciences.
"If You Call Yourself a Jew' reads Paul's letter to the Romans as a
dialogue between Paul and a gentile proselyte to Judaism. This
fresh reading brings Romans into focus as Paul's exposition of the
revelation of God's righteousness - his faithfulness to his
covenant promises to Abraham, which is brought to climax in the
announcement that "in you all the tribes of the earth will be
blessed" (Genesis 12:3). Paul insists that the righteousness of God
is revealed, "for the Jew first as well as for the Greek," not
through Torah but through the faith(fullness) of Jesus. He concedes
that Torah and the prophets provide corroborating witness for God's
righteousness, but suggests that gentiles who bend their necks to
Torah's yoke miss the actual mechanism for finding peace with God.
Paul found in the story of Jesus the image of complete faith in and
faithfulness to God. In Jesus' resurrection, he found the image of
God's complete faithfulness, "for the Jew first as well as for the
Greek." Whereas Torah resulted in curse and death, it also
anticipated the unconditional faithfulness of God for both Jew and
gentile.For Paul, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the account of the
outworking of God's faithfulness: the end of Torah's curses and the
fulfi lment of its blessings.

Momentos es la primera novela del autor. La misma narra la trama de
una familia de inmigrantes que se ve envuelta en el proceso de
verse entrampado en el quehacer citadino del pais visitado
arropandolo en su existencia hasta hacerlo perecer de sus
propositos. Esta escrita en un lenguaje universal, donde la ficcion
juega su papel y la imaginacion recorre las historias y relatos en
forma audaz, de personajes magino-realistas, mediante el uso de
comparaciones y metaforas, como piedra angular narrativa.
Explores the impact of colonial domination and defends Puerto
Rican anti-imperialist struggles.
