My story starts out with me immigrating to America at the young age of four. This is a unique story of true events that I endured in life. I will talk about my depression from the young age of five and all the heartache compounded with my depression. From the young age of five is when I came to realize that my life was full of so much pain and misfortune. From abuse to abandonment at the hands of my parents, I struggled to survive on my own. Oftentimes wanting to give up, I would find a way to go on. Along the way there were so many kind souls that helped me to find my way and do so much. Through all the suffering and pain as a child, I overcame so much. Surprisingly not the way one would assume.

Lydia as a Rhetorical Construct in Acts

By: Alexandra Gruca-Macaulay

A new sociorhetorical study of Acts In Lydia as a Rhetorical Construct in Acts, Gruca-Macaulay explores the sociorhetorical function of the story of Lydia, a named Lydian woman ancient interpreters would have associated with cultural stereotypes of Lydians. As a rhetorical figure, Lydia both influenced and was influenced by the ideology of the surrounding text in Acts 16, as well as the approach Luke–Acts as a whole takes to people who are somehow like Lydia. Features: Displays the rhetorical-cultural portrayal of women in Luke-Acts from the perspective of a first-century Mediterranean audience as compared with the history of scholarship, specifically through a sociorhetorical interpretation of the role of Lydia in Acts Investigates the rhetorical function of Mediterranean social-cultural topoi in qualitative argumentation, with a focus on Greco-Roman physiognomy generally, and Lydian ethnography especially Introduces the rhetorical use of conceptual blending, particularly its application for gaining insight into the function of military discourse in developing the rhetorical force of the Lydia episode in Acts

Lost Books and Printing in London, 1557-1640

An Analysis of the Stationers' Company Register

By: Alexandra Hill

Lost Books and Printing in London, 1557-1640 is the first attempt to analyse systematically the entries relating to lost books in the Stationers’ Company Register. Books played a fundamental role in early modern society and are key sources for our comprehension of the political, religious, economic and cultural aspects of the age. Over time, the loss of these books has presented a significant barrier to our understanding of the past. The monopoly of the Stationers’ Company centralised book production in England to London with printing jobs carried out by members documented in a Register. Using modern digital approaches to bibliography, Alexandra Hill uses the Register to reclaim knowledge of the English book trade and print culture that would otherwise be lost.
