The essays in this volume are united by a concern to show how scholarly
opinions concerning Paul’s use of Scripture have been influenced by the
application of divergent methods and conflicting presuppositions
regarding Paul, his audiences, and the role of biblical references in
his letters. Together these essays show what can be accomplished when
scholars take the time to discuss their differences and try out new
approaches to old problems.

The essays in this volume address three less-studied areas of the role
of purity in early Judaism: the connection, if any, between purity and
the synagogue; Jesus’ observance of purity laws; and women’s
relationships with purity in the first century.
Carl P. Cosaert
This volume fills a void in patristic textual analysis by applying the
latest methodological advances to the Gospel text of Clement, the
earliest of the Alexandrian fathers. Cosaert concludes that Clement’s
text reveals primarily an Alexandrian influence in John and Matthew and
a stronger Western influence in Luke and his citations of Mark 10.

This work examines the translation and interpretation of a set of
biblical texts from the perspectives of cultural anthropology and the
social sciences. As a whole, this work shows the importance of making
use of the insights of cultural anthropology in an age of
ever-increasing manipulation of the biblical text.
 Lamentations in Ancient and Contemporary Cultural Contexts
Nancy C. Lee and Carleen Mandolfo, editors
This volume gathers an international collection of essays on
biblical lament and Lamentations, illuminating their genres, artistry,
purposes, and significant place in the history and theologies of
ancient Israel. It also explores lament across cultures, both those
influenced by biblical traditions and those not, as the practices of
composition, performance, and interpretation of life’s suffering
continue to shed light on our knowledge of biblical lament.
 John Rufus: The Lives of Peter the Iberian, Theodosius of Jerusalem, and the Monk Romanus
Translated with an Introduction and Notes by Cornelia B. Horn and Robert R. Phenix Jr.
This book makes available for the first time in English important
works by the anti-Chalcedonian historian and biographer John Rufus on
Peter the Iberian, Theodosius of Jerusalem, and Abba Romanus, three key
figures of the Christian history of Palestine in the fifth and early
sixth centuries C.E.
James T. Sparks
This study shows that the genealogical section of the Chronicler’s
work is an ordered, well-structured, unified whole. The Chronicler
presents his genealogies chiastically, with the aim of the chiasm to
uphold the cult and cultic officials as the center of the nation’s
life. The genealogies indicate that society is sent into exile because
of the unfaithfulness of the people and their leaders. Only through the
proper attention to the cult and its elements can atonement be made and
the people possess their land.

In these groundbreaking essays, sixteen scholars seek ways to identify with Earth as they read and retrieve the role or voice of Earth within the biblical text and its interpretation.
