Philip has spent his whole school life feeling invisible. He's used to being the loner, the odd one out. When Philip's class is asked to keep diaries about any heroes and villains, tensions rise as battlelines are drawn. They discover heroes and villains who ruled nations or fought oppression, who were persecuted or persecuted others, and who struggled for justice and changed the world forever. But Philip and his class soon learn that there are heroes and villains much closer to home and that they come in many disguises. From award-winning author Elizabeth Fensham comes a book with heart for the hero in us all.

Apocalyptic Imagination in the Gospel of Mark

Apocalyptic Imagination in the Gospel of Mark

The Literary and Theological Role of Mark 3:22-30

By: Elizabeth E. Shively

This narrative study uses Mark 3:22–30 as an interpretive lens to show that the Gospel of Mark has a thoroughly apocalyptic outlook. That is, Mark 3:22–30 constructs a symbolic world that shapes the Gospel’s literary and theological logic. Mark utilizes apocalyptic discourse, portraying the Spirit-filled Jesus in a struggle against Satan to establish the kingdom of God by liberating people to form a community that does God’s will. This discourse develops throughout the narrative by means of repetition and variation, functioning rhetorically to persuade the reader that God manifests power out of suffering, rejection, and death. This book fits among literary studies that focus on Mark as a unified narrative and rhetorical composition, and uses narrative analysis as a key tool. While narrative approaches to Mark generally offer non-apocalyptic readings, this study clarifies the symbols, metaphors and themes of Mark 3:22–30 in light of the religious and social context in which the Gospel was produced in order to understand Mark’s persuasive aims towards the reader. Accordingly, a comparative analysis of Jewish apocalyptic literature informs the use of Mark 3:22–30 as a paradigm for the Gospel.

Judges 1

A Commentary on Judges 1:1 Ð 10:5

By: Mark S. Smith,Elizabeth M. Bloch-Smith

This groundbreaking volume presents a new translation of the text and detailed interpretation of almost every word or phrase in the book of Judges, drawing from archaeology and iconography, textual versions, biblical parallels, and extrabiblical texts, many never noted before. Archaeology also serves to show how a story of the Iron II period employed visible ruins to narrate supposedly early events from the so-called "period of the Judges." The synchronic analysis for each unit sketches its characters and main themes, as well as other literary dynamics. The diachronic, redactional analysis shows the shifting settings of units as well as their development, commonly due to their inner-textual reception and reinterpretation. The result is a remarkably fresh historical-critical treatment of 1:1-10:5.

Goodbye Jamie Boyd

By: Elizabeth Fensham

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Goodbye Jamie Boyd

By: Elizabeth Fensham

Schizophrenia. Helicopter Man first demonstrated this, and Goodbye Jamie Boyd continues to do so, and whether mental illness inspires Fensham in some way because of the inherent internal conflict to be found there, or whether her research for Helicopter Man has prompted her to explore the theme for older readers is beside the point. The fact is that she does it very well, particularly in the way she keeps the reader somewhat in the dark for the first third or more of the book, keeping Jamies identity something of a mystery. As I read, I wondered in turn whether Jamie was (in no particular order): real; or an imaginary friend; or a ghost; or a manifestation of mental illness. And with every exchange between Anna and Jamie during the first part of the book, each of these possibilities provides its own sinister implications (although the scene on the bus is a bit of a loose clue). But as far as I can tell, this uncertainty about what is reality and what isn't is a very real part of the struggle with schizophrenia."--Provided by publisher.

Judahite Burial Practices and Beliefs about the Dead

Judahite Burial Practices and Beliefs about the Dead

By: Elizabeth Bloch-Smith

The family tomb as a physical claim to the patrimony, the attributed powers of the dead and the prospect of post-mortem veneration made the cult of the dead an integral aspect of the Judahite and Israelite society. Over 850 burials from throughout the southern Levant are examined to illustrate the Judahite form of burial and its development. Vessels for foods and liquids were of paramount importance in the afterlife, followed by jewellery with its protective powers. The cult of the dead began to be an unacceptable feature of the Jerusalem Yahwistic cult in the late eighth to seventh century BCE. This change of attitude was precipitated by the fall of the northern kingdom of Israel and the consequent theological response.

Deuteronomy 28 and the Aramaic Curse Tradition

Deuteronomy 28 and the Aramaic Curse Tradition

By: Laura Elizabeth Quick

This study considers the relationship of Deuteronomy 28 to the curse traditions of the ancient Near East. It focuses on the linguistic and cultural means of the transmission of these traditions to the book of Deuteronomy. Laura Quick examines a broad range of materials, including Old Aramaic inscriptions, attempting to show the value of these Northwest Semitic texts as primary sources to reorient our view of an ancient world usually seen through a biblical or Mesopotamian lens. By studying these inscriptions alongside the biblical text, Deuteronomy 28 and the Aramaic Curse Tradition increases our knowledge of the early history and function of the curses in Deuteronomy 28. This has implications for our understanding of the date of the composition of the book of Deuteronomy, and the reasons behind its production. The ritual realm which stands behind the use of curses and the formation of covenants in the biblical world is also explored, arguing that the interplay between orality and literacy is essential to understanding the function and form of the curses in Deuteronomy. This book contributes to our understanding of the book of Deuteronomy and its place within the literary history of ancient Israel and Judah, with implications for the composition of the Pentateuch or Torah as a whole.

"Of Wood and Stone"

The Significance of Israelite Cultic Items in the Bible and its Early Interpreters

By: Elizabeth C. LaRocca-Pitts

The Hebrew Bible differs on which cultic items used in worship were appropriate for use within YHWHism. By analyzing passages mentioning "high places" (bamot), sacred trees (asherim), etc., this study finds many cultic practices were acceptable.
