The purpose of this book is to help postmodern Westerners understand what the Bible has to say about wealth and possessions, basing itself on the presumption that (a) nobody can understand themselves apart from some recognition of their spiritual roots, and (b) that these roots sink deeper into the pages of the Bible than most Westerners realize. Focusing upon that part of the Bible most widely recognized to be its ideological core--that which is called Torah by some, Pentateuch by others--it…

B. B. Warfield devoted much of his scholarly career to defending Reformed theology against modernism and emotional revivalism, and one of the central arenas in which he carried out this task was in the field of biblical criticism. An Introduction to the Textual Criticism of the New Testament serves as a primer to textual criticism for both his students and for interested laypersons.

In this original work, joining the growing corpus of performance criticism of Hebrew Bible texts, Billingham offers a performance reading of some eleven scenes in the book of Jeremiah, analysing their scripts, actors/speakers, audiences, settings and improvisation of scripts. While kings, priests, prophets and people act in various ways in these performances, Jeremiah himself plays an important role both in reporting their actions and in delivering speeches proclaiming Yhwh’s oracles. Earth and members of the Earth community also raise their voices in distress at the absence of the exiled people. The people of the exile themselves can be assumed as the audience if no other is designated in a scene; it will be their role to process the experiences of the drama. Various socio-political and geographical contexts provide safe settings in which they may view the traumatic events that unfold. In a synchronic reading, Billingham argues that Jeremiah improvises several old Israelite…

Gerhard Lohfink, renowned Scripture scholar and Catholic Media Association’s 2023 Author of the Year, invites us to be renewed through the image of the springs of true life bursting forth in our own lives.The image of springs breaking forth from the earth moves us—not only because pure, fresh water is precious on our exploited planet, but also because springs are among the loveliest and most mysterious natural phenomena. By reflecting on the statement “All my springs are in you,” renowned Scripture scholar Gerhard Lohfink invites us to be renewed through the image of the springs of true life bursting forth in our own lives.In All My Springs Are in You—citing Psalm 87:7—Lohfink focuses on fundamental beliefs, feasts and liturgical seasons, as well as distinctions and contrasts to break down any narrow interpretations of biblical texts readers may experience. The final verse in the Old Testament offers readers a means to uncover how much hope and revolutionary power may be found in…

What if we viewed reading as not just a personal hobby or a pleasurable indulgence but a spiritual practice that deepens our faith?

The Bible conceives of young people as both developing and great in the Kingdom of God. In this course Dr Sean McGever draws from his years of experience working with youth and explores the ministry in the hermeneutics of reading the bible with young people. The voice of the young person is taken seriously and engaged with as an unique perspective. McGever will show us how we can utilize these dynamics as we read the Bible both with them, rather than at them or to them, when we do Bible study. He goes over the grammar of interpretation, what it means to be young and how that influences how we read the Bible with young people, and what Biblical texts are great to discuss with young people.

The Nag Hammadi Texts and the Bible places in synoptic form parallel texts from Nag Hammadi and from the Bible. This will enable scholars of Coptic Gnosticism, as well as scholars concerned with early Christian biblical interpretation, to make the comparisons necessary to determine relationships and what dependence, if any, there may be between these two bodies of material. This volume should facilitate the discussion concerning the origin, antiquity, and relationship of Gnosticism to Christianity.
