This first volume of the three-volume Cambridge History of Russia deals with the period before the reign of Peter the Great. The concept of the 'prePetrine' period has a profound resonance in Russian intellectual and cultural history. Although...

This book has been written over a long stretch of time. When I finished Judaism: Practice and Belief in 1991 (published 1992), I had published a book a year for four years: Studying the Synoptic Gospels (with Margaret Davies) in 1989; Jewish L...

In recent years I have often been asked, "How do we find out more about the first-century Jewish world?"   This question often comes after I have given a lecture or seminar paper, whether to a general audience or to scholars from o...

I he unusual circumstances under which this book has been brought to publication obligate me to offer the reader a few words of explanation. And the extraordinary help I have received in completing the manuscript also calls for much more than...

Most of the chapters in the current volume were first presented as papers at a panel entitled “Biblical Apocrypha in South-Eastern Europe. Variation and Transmission from Antiquity to Modem Times” (convenors Anissava Miltenova and Emanuela Tim...

This commentary has been prepared especially for pastors, students, and laypeople who want a careful exposition of Paul’s letter to the Romans that stresses its theological content and considers its spiritual and pastoral implications for toda...

It is easy to suppose that the books that make up the Bible are set apart from all other books and that they relate only to each other. The biblical writings are typically contained within the confines of a single volume, identified as “Holy Bible...

Жизнь царя Иехонии напоминает жизнь Слуги Исайи, так часто именуемого царем. Он вырос как наследный принц в Иерусалиме, «пред Яхве, как нежное растение».   Не он нарушил вассальный договор: «он не сделал никакого насилия, и не было...

В этом иллюстрированном путешествии, которое лишь отчасти путешествие, а отчасти теологическое исследование, автор бестселлеров и известный библеист Джон Доминик Кроссан и его жена Сара, исследуя древние восточные церкви, документируют, с помо...

The Passion Narrative (henceforth PN), as it proceeds from arrest through trial to condemnation, execution, and burial (thus from Gethsemane to the grave), constitutes in each Gospel the longest consecutive action recounted of Jesus. Aesthetic...

With the book of Deuteronomy, the entire biblical project becomes lucid and reaches its culmination. Deuteronomy is the last act of the Jewish people’s drama before becoming a nation in its own land, and it forms the context of all that follow...

November 1989. The Berlin Wall falls. The Cold War comes to an end. The Soviet Union begins to implode. A young American political scientist, Francis Fukuyama, captures widespread attention with an essay entitled “The End of History.”1 In it h...

Of all the Mosaic books, Vayikra, Leviticus, is the one most out of step with contemporary culture. Many find it difficult to relate to its concerns. It opens with an account of sacrifices, something we have not experienced for close to two mi...

The book of Exodus is the West’s meta-narrative of hope. It tells an astonishing story of how a group of slaves were liberated from the mightiest empire of the ancient world. Theologically, its message is even more revolutionary: the supreme p...

"We must live with the times,” the Rebbe said.   The disciples, sitting around the table, eagerly awaiting the master’s words, were perplexed. “Live with the times? Isn’t that what the enemies of faith are always saying - The...

The ten days that begin on Rosh HaShana and culminate in Yom Kippur are the holy of holies of Jewish time. The atmosphere in the synagogue is intense. You can almost touch the Divine Presence. Isaiah said: “Seek God where He is to be found, ca...

Over three hundred years after Peter the Great’s campaign to reinvent Russia as a modern European nation, the opposition between ‘Russia’ and ‘the West’ remains a potent cultural meme that plays out in manifold ways—not least in the dangerous...

There is no doubt about the importance of the word ekklesia as we seek to understand the identity of early Christ-followers. This was the term that Paul chose to designate these early and formative communities on an on-going basis. It was a te...

This book will be welcomed gladly by readers interested in the Bible’s sense of our economic life and our ecological responsibilities. Reading it is a pleasure and a help. Ellen Davis’s premise is that “the message of the earliest prophetic wr...

Authors of books on Jesus’ resurrection often set for themselves one of two tasks. Either they seek to establish, with some assurance, or even beyond a reasonable doubt, that God raised Jesus from the dead, or they seek to establish, with some...

Christian Doctrine and Modern Culture is the fifth and final volume of my history of the development of Christian doctrine, and it has in many ways turned out to be the “Sorgenkind,” as my friends (including Albert C. Outlet and the late Willi...

The term Classical Hebrew refers to the Standard Biblical Hebrew found in the prose sections of Genesis through 2 Kings. To be sure, this grammar prepares students to read the Hebrew of the entire biblical text, but the earlier material is con...
