Madison N Pierce, Andrew J Byers, Simon Gathercole
Gospel Reading and Reception in Early Christian Literature
Cambridge University Press 2022. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Madison N. Pierce Andrew J. Byers Simon Gathercole</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Cambridge University Press</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781316514467</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2022</p><p><strong>Languages:</strong> English</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 275</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> Before the early Christian evangelists were Gospel writers they were Gospel readers. Their composition process was more complex than simply compiling existing traditions about Jesus then ordering them into a narrative frame. Rather these writers were engaged in a creative and dynamic act of theological reception. 'Gospel reading' refers to this innovative and often artistic use of source materials -- from Israel's Scriptures to pre-existing narratives of Jesus-- to produce updated expanded or even alternative renditions. This volume explores that process. The common thread running through each chapter is the conviction that the early Christian practice of writing 'gospel' and the 'Gospels' was one of the most hermeneutically creative exercises in ancient literary culture one that was prompted by the perceived theological significance of Jesus. The contributors seek to demonstrate the intricate dynamics of this controversial figure's theological and textual reception through foundational essays on specific texts and themes. Editorial Reviews Book Description Gospel writing always follows Gospel reading a complex literary act of reception that interprets the theological significance of Jesus. About the Author Madison N. Pierce is Assistant Professor of New Testament Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. She is the author of Divine Discourse in the Epistle to the Hebrews Cambridge 2020 and co-editor of Muted Voices of the New Testament Bloomsbury 2017.<br><br>Andrew J.

Untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia cause infertility in a proportion of women and men. Unlike the much-feared venereal disease of syphilis--""the pox""--gonorrhea and chlamydia are often symptomless leaving victims unaware of the threat to their fertility. Science did not unmask the causal microorganisms until thelate nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Their effects on fertility in human history remain mysterious. This is the first volume to address the subject across more than two thousand years of human history. Following asynoptic editorial introduction part 1 explores the enigmas of evidence from ancient and early modern medical sources. Part 2 addresses fundamental questions about when exactly these diseases first became human afflictions withnew contributions from bioarcheology genomics and the history of medicine producing surprising new insights. Part 3 presents studies of infertility and its sociocultural consequences in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Africa Oceania and Australia. Part 4 examines the quite different ways the infertility threat from STIs was perceived--by scientists the public and government--in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Germany France and Britain concluding with a pioneering empirical estimate of the infertility impact in Britain.

Simon Cox
The Subtle Body: A Genealogy Oxford Studies in Western Esotericism
Oxford University Press 2021. New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Simon Cox</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Oxford University Press</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9780197581032</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2021</p><p><strong>Languages:</strong> English</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Kindle</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 244</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> How does the soul relate to the body Through the ages innumerable religious and intellectual movements have proposed answers to this question. Many have gravitated to the notion of the ""subtle body"" positing some sort of subtle entity that is neither soul nor body but some mixture of the two. Simon Cox traces the history of this idea from the late Roman Empire to the present day touching on how philosophers wizards scholars occultists psychologists and mystics have engaged with the idea over the past two thousand years.This study is an intellectual history of the subtle body concept from its origins in late antiquity through the Renaissance into the Euro-American counterculture of the 1960's and 70's. It begins with a prehistory of the idea rooted as it is in third-century Neoplatonism. It then proceeds to the signifier ""subtle body"" in its earliest English uses amongst the Cambridge Platonists. After that it looks forward to those Orientalist fathers of Indology who in their earliest translations of Sanskrit philosophy relied heavily on the Cambridge Platonist lexicon and thereby brought Indian philosophy into what had hitherto been a distinctly platonic discourse. At this point the story takes a little reflexive stroll into the source of the author's own interest in this strange concept looking at Helena Blavatsky and the Theosophical import expression and popularization of the concept. Cox then zeroes in on Aleister Crowley focusing on the subtle body in fin de siècle occultism. Finally he turns to Carl Jung his colleague Frederic Spiegelberg and the popularization of the idea of the subtle body in the Euro-American counterculture. This book is for anyone interested in yogic somatic or energetic practices and will be very useful to scholars and area specialists who rely on this term in dealing with Hindu Daoist and Buddhist texts.</p> Oxford University Press unknown

Their conduct may be unruly and salacious they may blaspheme and even kill--yet mysteriously those around them treat them with even more reverence. Such saints are called ""holy fools."" In this pioneering study Sergey A. Ivanov examines the phenomenon of holy foolery from a cultural standpoint. He identifies its prerequisites and its development in religious thought and traces the emergence of the first hagiographic texts describing these paradoxical saints. He describes the beginnings of holy foolery in Egyptian monasteries of the fifth century followed by its high point in the cities of Byzantium with an eventual decline in the twelfth to fourteenth centuries. He also compares the important Russian tradition of holy fools which in some form has survived to this day. About the Author Sergey A.

The Infinite Game
Penguin Audio 2019. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Simon Sinek Simon Sinek</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Penguin Audio</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781984828507</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2019</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> So many organizations and individuals are obsessed with winning. But how do you win a game that never really ends There is no such thing for example as "winning" business.Simon Sinek's Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last have helped millions of readers see the hidden rules that govern our behavior. Now The Infinite Game picks up where those books left off challenging us to rethink our perspective on how organizations really work. This time Sinek explores a deceptively simple question: How do you stay ahead in a game with no endGames like basketball and chess are finite with firm rules and clear endpoints. But business for example is infinite -- there's ultimately no such thing as "winning" because there's always a new set of challenges. Those who thrive in the long run are those who play by infinite rules. They do things that enable them to out-maneuver out-innovate and outlast their competitors.Trying to play an infinite game with a finite mindset can be catastrophic. During the Vietnam War for instance America won nearly every battle and killed many more enemy troops but still lost the war. The metrics by which they kept score ultimately didn't matter. The North Vietnamese were willing to endure any hardship for as long as it took to force the Americans to give up. The North Vietnamese played the Infinite Game.Through a wide range of examples Sinek explores how infinite players in any field can exhaust their competitors stay ahead for the long run and create strong organizations built to weather nearly any storm. Great leaders instinctively play the infinite game rather than chase short-term gains. Now the rest of us can understand how they do it.</p> Penguin Audio hardcover

It had retreated as a significant port after the Second World War and by 1979 it was already on the brink. What it needed was support but instead a Conservative Party with aggressive new ideas allowed it to slide. Thirty-years after the Toxteth Riots classified government papers revealed that the prime minister Margaret Thatcher was urged to abandon the city and embark on a programme of 'managed decline'. Why did Liverpool's fortunes change so dramatically Why did it fight back when other cities did not This is the untold story of what it was like for Liverpool's people and how the period defines who they are.</p> Decoubertin Books hardcover

Simon Sinek
Leaders Eat Last
Brilliance Audio 2015. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Simon Sinek</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Brilliance Audio</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781480542600</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2015</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> The New York Times bestseller by the acclaimed bestselling author of Start With Why and Together is Better. Now with an expanded chapter and appendix on leading millennials based on Simon Sinek's viral video "The Millennial Question" 150 million views.Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work feels trusted and valued during the day then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy idealized notion. Today in many successful organizations great leaders create environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things. In his work with organizations around the world Simon Sinek noticed that some teams trust each other so deeply that they would literally put their lives on the line for each other. Other teams no matter what incentives are offered are doomed to infighting fragmentation and failure. WhyThe answer became clear during a conversation with a Marine Corps general. "Officers eat last" he said. Sinek watched as the most junior Marines ate first while the most senior Marines took their place at the back of the line. What's symbolic in the chow hall is deadly serious on the battlefield: Great leaders sacrifice their own comfort--even their own survival--for the good of those in their care.Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism paranoia and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside.Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business from government to investment banking.</p> Brilliance Audio hardcover
