Based on a revised Oxford University doctoral dissertation, this work examines the evidence from Josephus for prophetic figures in Jewish Palestine in the late Second Temple period, approximately 150 BCE to 70CE. Recent years have seen renewed interest in the question of how Jesus of Nazareth should be classified in terms of religious or social "type." Was he a teacher, prophet, miracle-worker, magician, charismatic or militant revolutionary? Although there is no real consensus among New Testament scholars on this question, "prophet" is probably the leading contender. If this designation is to be meaningful, however, a clearer picture of first-century Jewish prophecy in general is essential. The present work is intended as a contribution towards a better understanding of Jewish prophecy around the time of Jesus. Josephus is without question our most important source of information about events in Palestine in this period. Although Josephus is often cited in works on early Jewish prophecy, however, there has until now been no separate study of this material. Gray here not only offers the first comprehensive examination of Josephus' writings on specific prophetic figures, but also analyses in detail his general views on prohecy and the prohetic claim he makes for himself.

"This cookbook is a reflection of me, here and now, not just me when I was thirty-something and wrote the first edition, but me as a sixty year old-and now a long-time fisherman. If a cookbook is good, has that character, it has gone beyond the primary purpose of instruction and moved on to entertain and inspire. This is accomplished by revealing bias, passion, inspiration, humor, and probably even frailty, those human traits that combine to create an identity, and which are much more robust now that I'm sixty. And yes and hurrah, this is done all in a milieu of cooking and eating wild." So writes Rebecca Gray in the Preface of The New Gray's Fish Cookbook. Revised and updated from its classic predecessor, this beautiful and very useful book treats fish cookery with style, affection and attention to detail. Complete with 67 menus and hundreds of recipes in enticing and imaginative combinations, The New Gray's Fish Cookbook sets a standard of thoughtfulness and quality against which other cookbooks in the field, past and future, should be measured. No important game species is left out. Plan now for culinary evenings built around: Inshore Saltwater Fish; Offshore Saltwater Fish; Fish From the Tropics; Saltwater Bottom Fish; Shellfish; Stream Freshwater Fish; Walleye and Pike; Shad, Catfish, and Smelt; Bass and Panfish Each is a separate chapter in which you'll find complete menus of recipes designed to match the flavor, nature and timing of the main course at hand. Finally, in a chapter called "Basics," Rebecca provides exactly that, and more. Novices and experts alike will find everything they need in The New Gray's Fish Cookbook.

"Game is ultimately the most American ingredient, the only possible food capable of establishing itself as a defining element in a true American cuisine." So writes Rebecca Gray in the Preface of The New Gray's Wild Game Cookbook, and for the next 61 menus and 180 individual recipes she gives us what amounts to a celebration of wild game as the ultimate gourmet food. Here, in abundance, is the joy and exhilaration of preparing exquisitely matched accompaniments to beautifully prepared main dishes of venison, wild fowl, upland birds and other choice meats brought to the table by the North American hunter. Laid to rest, through anecdote, personal experience and technical exposition, is any vestige of the intimidation a cook might feel when faced with a just-bagged bird. Extensively revised and updated from the original, The New Gray's Wild Game Cookbook, in addition to separate, menu-filled chapters on Venison, Water Fowl, Upland Birds and Mixed Bag (a collection of menus for such diverse prizes as wild sheep, mountain goat, bear, wild boar and rabbit), contains detailed and stylishly-written chapters on Game Care (not the usual field-dressing and cutting instructions, but a carefully-researched and wittily-presented discussion of what matters most to the cook) and A Few Suggestions (advice and opinion that respects the reader's own experience while passing along nearly thirty years of absorbed interest in fine preparation of tasteful wild game meals). The New Gray's Wild Game Cookbook treats wild game in its truest and broadest context. Wild game is that rarest of culinary ingredients: something that, quite literally, money cannot buy. Rebecca Gray knows this, and every recipe here celebrates it. So will anyone lucky enough to be served its menus.
