The Representation of Speech Events in Chariton’s Callirhoe and the Acts of the Apostles

By: Adrian T. Smith

In The Representation of Speech Events in Chariton's Callirhoe and the Acts of the Apostles, Adrian T. Smith summarizes cross-linguistic research on how and why narrators vary the formulae that introduce direct speech. This research is applied to Chariton and to Acts. The findings demonstrate that narrators vary quotation formulae for numerous pragmatic purposes, including the tracking of conversational dynamics via a set of 'marked' and 'unmarked' quotation devices.

Knowing God as an Evangelical

Knowing God as an Evangelical

Towards a Canonical-Epistemological Model

By: Dan-Adrian Petre

In the present polyphony of evangelical theological epistemology, there are several authoritative approaches. Yet, the evangelical emphasis on sola scriptura demands that theological epistemology be subjected to the biblical canon. In this book, Dan-Adrian Petre argues for a canonically-derived theological epistemological framework that may foster a fuller understanding of theological knowledge formation within evangelicalism. Specifically, he explores some representative evangelical voices to identify the reasons for the contemporary epistemological variance. Petre then uses a canonical-epistemological methodology to outline a biblically-based framework. In exploring how the Scripture conceptualizes the formation of theological knowledge, the book uses cognitive linguistics to grasp the conceptual meaning of the theological knowledge formation in the Bible using prototypical case studies. The resulting epistemological implications outline a minimal epistemological model derived from the biblical canon. Using this vantage point, the author assesses the contemporary evangelical epistemological dissonance as a means of indicating a way forward for a canonical-epistemological attunement.

The President's Kitchen Cabinet

The Story of the African Americans Who Have Fed Our First Families, from the Washingtons to the Obamas

By: Adrian Miller

An NAACP Image Award Finalist for Outstanding Literary Work—Non Fiction James Beard award–winning author Adrian Miller vividly tells the stories of the African Americans who worked in the presidential food service as chefs, personal cooks, butlers, stewards, and servers for every First Family since George and Martha Washington. Miller brings together the names and words of more than 150 black men and women who played remarkable roles in unforgettable events in the nation's history. Daisy McAfee Bonner, for example, FDR's cook at his Warm Springs retreat, described the president's final day on earth in 1945, when he was struck down just as his lunchtime cheese souffle emerged from the oven. Sorrowfully, but with a cook's pride, she recalled, "He never ate that souffle, but it never fell until the minute he died." A treasury of information about cooking techniques and equipment, the book includes twenty recipes for which black chefs were celebrated. From Samuel Fraunces's "onions done in the Brazilian way" for George Washington to Zephyr Wright's popovers, beloved by LBJ's family, Miller highlights African Americans' contributions to our shared American foodways. Surveying the labor of enslaved people during the antebellum period and the gradual opening of employment after Emancipation, Miller highlights how food-related work slowly became professionalized and the important part African Americans played in that process. His chronicle of the daily table in the White House proclaims a fascinating new American story.

Searching for the Self

Classic Stories, Christian Scripture, and the Quest for Personal Identity

By: Adrian T. Smith

Who am I?"" If you are unsure of your personal identity, you are not alone. Our postmodern culture multiplies identity-crisis. Identity comes from story--the better our story, the healthier our identity and our behavior. Searching for the Self helps you discover your own story, and discern how cultural narratives shape your behavior.

""We all want to live a meaningful life, but it is hard to make sense out of our lives particularly since our culture wants to rob us of the grand narrative that imbues our life with significance. Adrian Smith masterfully guides us as he helps us understand the story of our lives in the light of the greatest story of all. He importantly and insightfully introduces us to the life-transforming power of story. Searching for the Self is an intelligent book that gets us thinking deeply about our lives in a way that draws us closer to God. No one will read this book and not be changed for the better."" --Tremper Longman III, Distinguished Scholar of Biblical Studies, Westmont College ""Making sense of life is hard. This deeply informed but highly accessible book will help. Here is a gateway to a narrative journey, the quest for wisdom, the discovery of meaning through story, showing us patterns and pathways to begin to understand our own stories in the light of God's story."" --Dan G. McCartney, Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Redeemer Seminary Adrian T. Smith has taught biblical studies for twenty years at numerous seminaries, including Westminster (Philadelphia and Dallas), Erskine (Due West, South Carolina), and Redeemer (Dallas). He is Visiting Professor of New Testament at Missional Training Center (Phoenix). Adrian is ordained as a Minister of the Gospel (Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church). He is the author of The Representation of Speech Events (2014). Adrian is married with two children and lives in Texas where he teaches humanities at Covenant Academy in Cypress.
