The Genre, Composition, and Hermeneutics of the Epistle of James

By: Luke Leuk Cheung

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Genre, Composition, and Hermeneutics of the Epistle of James

By: Luke Leuk Cheung

James reflects both features of Hellenistic paraenesis and wisdom instruction, but its contents owe more to the latter. The work can be seen as a countercultural wisdom instruction containing various aphorisms, aiming to challenge the hearers' worldview and to reorient them to the values acceptable to God. The concern of perfection comes at the prologue and the epilogue, which forms the framework from which James is to be understood. The units 2:8-13, 3:13-18, and 4:11-12, which link the seemingly unrelated adjacent sections together, reflect similar arguments. The perfect law of liberty and the wisdom from above, and ultimately God the Lawgiver and the Judge, are the yardsticks by which one's speech and actions have to be measured and judged (1:19-25). The preeminent concern of our author is the importance of the perfect law with its fulfillment bringing about perfection, freeing one from the power of evil desire.

Isabelle the Navigator

By: Luke Davies

Isabelle Airly’s father is dead by his own hand, after a term in prison for insurance fraud. Her boyfriend of four years has lost his life in a motorcycle accident. And inside, Isabelle is lost at sea, struggling to stay afloat, and wondering how a woman who has lost so much can begin to find herself again. As Isabelle tries to pick up the pieces after the loss of the two men she loved most, she begins to uncover the truth about her father, his arrest, and his descent into madness—as well as the secrets her mother and uncle have kept hidden. Poet and novelist Luke Davies, author of the award-winning international bestseller Candy, charts Isabelle’s course with flowing, lyrical prose and profound emotional honesty. He takes us a journey not only across countries and continents, but through an interior life tempest-tossed by grief, as Isabelle attempts to understand the power of love, the pain of its loss, and the tragedies of her family’s past.

Doing “the Good” in Paul’s Ethical Vision

By: T. Luke Post

In this carefully argued book, T. Luke Post shows that "good works" occupy a central, though often overlooked, place in Pauline ethics. Surveying a wide terrain of exegetical territory, Post makes a compelling case that believers "doing good" is a primary aim of Paul’s theological, social, and ethical agenda.

Natural Therapy

A Manual of Physiotherapeutics and Climatology

By: Thomas D. Luke,Norman Hay Forbes

Natural Therapy: A Manual of Physiotherapeutics and Climatology discusses natural ways of healing and treating certain diseases and disorders. The authors discuss the use of water in bath-treatments as used by John Smedley, Winternitz, or through methods known as "Kaltwasser Kuranstalten," or "Kneipp cure." The book explains the general principles of hydrotherapy or the systematic application of water at different temperatures in varying ways to the body surface. Water can have a therapeutic effect due to its temperature, volume, mechanical means, and chemical forms. The authors also discuss taking baths including general precautions (after physical exertion), techniques (arm, foot bath), use of drip sheet, and douches. Water in Nauheim baths are either naturally or artificial charged, in varying degrees, with carbonic acid gas, and mixed with small amounts of chloride and sulphate of soda. The bath is good for the circulatory system. The authors discuss other natural methods of treatment such as steam bath, massages, hydro-electric baths, and special diet cures. This book can be helpful for care givers, health workers, physical therapists, practioners of alternative or holistic medicine, and general readers who have an interest in natural treatment and healing.

James

A Pastoral and Contextual Commentary

By: Luke L. Cheung,Andrew B. Spurgeon

Criminals in Hong Kong and China are often superstitiously religious. Ironically, both they and police officers worship the same folk god, Guan Gong, who represents righteousness! But their religiosity has no moral consequences – what both groups are seeking is protection from their opponents. Unfortunately, some Asian Christians have a similar model of religiosity. They want God’s protection and blessings, but they do not want God to affect how they live. James will have none of this. He is convinced that our devotion to God must be reflected in the way we live, and so he writes a letter that is full of sound, practical advice. He exhorts us to control our tongues, he speaks against greed, envy, and wrong desires, and he gives wise advice about enduring suffering, praying for ailing believers, and restoring believers who are tempted to depart from the truth. Using Asian applications, this commentary of James highlights the relevance the triune God has in all contexts of life. The Asia Bible Commentary Series empowers Christian believers in Asia to read the Bible from within their respective contexts. Holistic in its approach to the text, each exposition of the biblical books combines exegesis and application. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the Body of Christ in Asia by providing pastoral and contextual exposition of every book of the Bible.

Design and Make Curtains and Drapes

By: Heather Luke

DECORATING To the growing list of how-to books on curtains and blinds (e.g., Yvonne Rees's Quick and Easy Curtains and Blinds, LJ 1/96, and Carol Parks's Complete Book of Window Treatments and Curtains, Lark, 1994), Luke brings her expertise as head of a soft furnishings school. She begins each book with clear, well-illustrated instructions on basics such as sewing techniques, measuring, equipment, and set-up. She then proceeds with directions for the simplest treatments unlined curtains and roller blinds continues with more complicated designs such as interlined drapes and Austrian blinds and concludes with embellishments and decorations. A glossary and care instructions are also included. Missing are illustrations of the various hardware used for curtain and shade hangings that is included in Parks's book, which prevents these books from being truly comprehensive. Still, these are solid additions where more window treatment instruction books are needed.-

The Sipster's Pocket Guide to 50 Must-Try BC Wines: Volume 2

By: Luke Whittall

The eagerly awaited second installment in the offbeat BC wine guide the Vancouver Sun calls “the perfect go-to.” Following on the popularity of Volume 1, which the Vancouver Sun called “the perfect go-to guide,” the second installment of The Sipster’s Pocket Guide brings the same offbeat, lateral thinking and experiential focus to a whole new batch of BC wines. Wine expert and educator Luke Whittall shares his love of and sense of humour about the industry as he presents his top 50 wines under $50 (including many under $30). With food and activity pairings that range from romantic to radical (berry-laced desserts and long-distance relationships, poached salmon and puns, hot dogs and off-grid living), and an index of attitudes that let you choose a wine based on your mood (be it drill sergeant or rancher, pastoral or paisley), the Sipster’s guides are anything but stuffy. Divided into chapters on sparkling, white, rosé, red, and dessert wines, the book finishes up with a beginner’s guide to grape varieties in BC and a primer on the grand cru designation and how it pertains to our province. Sipster’s Volume 2 is the perfect companion for that on-the-fly wine purchase and for those who want to dig a little deeper. Learn about classics like Pinot Grigio, how Chardonnay in BC almost went the way of Merlot post-Sideways, and how to not only find but also pronounce a great Siegerrebe.

Big Ten Co-eds, Preppy Girls, and the Lost Cheerleaders

By: Luke Batten,Julie Rodrigues Widholm,Jonathan Sadler

Using a methodology that both parallels and gently ridicules the concept of stock photo agencies, New Catalogue (artists Luke Batten and Jonathan Sadler) has created a series of original editions that tap into popular culture while expanding on traditional photographic genres. This book, their first, examines elements of American iconography that are at once hilarious and vaguely unsettling: 'Big Ten Co-Eds with Ski Masks, ' 'Preppy Girls with BB Guns, ' and 'The Lost Cheerleaders'-- each of which hints at a subconscious desire for danger in a sterile suburban setting. With a degree of ambiguity, this work allows the images to be molded, contextualized, and ascribed narratives in hundreds of ways to suit the end-user or client (if one is to maintain the corporate analogy) who could be a journalist, advertiser or contemporary art collector"--Publisher's description.
