The Complex is in ruins. The zombies are everywhere. Cali Anglin and the other survivors have one slim hope: sanctuary in Idaho, thousands of miles away. They must take to the Highway – Interstate 15, the only path to safety. Their trek across a devastated America is one horror stacked on another, constantly pursued by the hungry dead. They must ask themselves: How much would you pay to begin again?
David J. Rudolph raises new questions about Paul's view of the Torah and Jewish identity in this post-supersessionist interpretation of 1 Corinthians 9:19-23. Paul's principle of accommodation is considered in light of the diversity of Second Temple Judaism and Jesus' example and rule of accommodation.
David Rudolph's primary aim is to demonstrate that scholars overstate their case when they maintain that 1 Cor 9:19-23 is incompatible with a Torah-observant Paul. A secondary aim is to show how one might understand 1 Cor 9:19-23 as the discourse of a Jew who remained within the bounds of pluriform Second Temple Judaism. Part I addresses the intertextual, contextual and textual case for the traditional reading of 1 Cor 9:19-23. Weaknesses are pointed out and alternative approaches are considered. The exegetical case in Part II centres on interpreting 1 Cor 9:19-23 in light of Paul's recapitulation in 1 Cor 10:32-11:1, which concludes with the statement, Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. Given the food-related and hospitality context of 1 Cor 8-10, and Paul's reference to dominical sayings that point back to Jesus' example and rule of adaptation, it is argued that 1 Cor 9:19-23 reflects Paul's imitation of Jesus' accommodation-oriented table-fellowship with all. As Jesus became all things to all people through eating with ordinary Jews, Pharisees and sinners, Paul became all things to all people through eating with ordinary Jews, strict Jews (those under the law) and Gentile sinners. This Cambridge University dissertation won the 2007 Franz Delitzsch Prize from the Freie Theologische Akademie.
How do terrorists become politicians? This book embraces a series of comparative case studies in order to examine important issues regarding the relationship between terrorism and political processes. It identifies the characteristics necessary for the transition from a 'terrorist' organization to a political party and situates this within broader debates about substantive ethical concerns motivating the distinction between legitimate politics and illegitimate violence. The volume offers a presentation of how some terrorist groups see the world in which they live. It also provides an understanding of how established democracies such as the US react to the phenomenon of the terrorist-politician transition. This is a useful resource for students and scholars of international relations, political ethics and comparative politics.

A Montana town searches for strength amid the dangers following the zombie apocalypse in this sequel to The Long Road. Community—it’s the reason the survivors have made it through the carnage and mayhem of the apocalypse. It is the source of their strength . . . until a message from the stars divides them. With half of the group off to Ireland in search of greener pastures, the remaining survivors gamble on whether they will be strong enough to make Wilsall rise. The road so far has not been without its stumbles, and more than a few enemies have been made. Many of the group are left with festering wounds, and only time will tell whether they can heal. Will community be enough to keep these survivors on their feet? The future of Wilsall rests on their shoulders. Praise for The Complex “I really enjoyed The Complex. . . . It brings a new and missing dynamic to the genre. . . . Ms. Rudolph tells a good story that left me wanting more.” —David Forsyth, author of the Sovereign Spirit Saga “This is a fantastic read that I could not recommend more!” —Tony Baker, author of Survivors of the Dead

Together with the Justice Department's special prosecutor, the Feds were poised to bring down the Godfather and his dons and henchmen. But incredibly, the mob would dance their way out of the courtroom. Photos.
“If I Die Tonight” is a collection of stories and poems written in a cool Caribbean island setting. But the book - which takes its title from one of the poems - has as its common thread, a moving spirit that is both unsettled and unsettling in the characters and moods coursing through its pages. As such, elements keep shifting from mischievous to defi ant to revengeful to amusing to bizarre to pathetic to cynical to confident to vulgar to reckless to, perhaps, always tragic. In a simple style, the writer attempts to explore some complex aspects of human behavior in the small island environment as a window to man on the world stage.
