About this book/synopsis: This volume brings together essays by an international group of biblical scholars on the Old Testament topics, employing social-scientific methods: anthropology, macro-sociology, and social psychology. Their innovative work brings alive Israelite society, religion and its sacred writings.
In the first part, the application of social-scientific models to general issues in Old Testament is explored. Issues such as tribalism, polygamy, rituals - particularly sacrifice, the practice of exchange -specifically covenantal exchange, the acquisition of wealth in the biblical world - using three models of patron and client, limited wealth, and honour and shame. The second part of the book looks at applying social-scientific models to particular texts ranging from the sacrifice of Jephthah's daughter to David's sacking of Rabbah. The third part of the book focuses on hermeneutical issues, looking first at pscyhological interpretations, then identify theory and political interpretations and finally at the role of social sciences as a whole in biblical interpretation.
Key Points About This Book:
-it is an engaging collection of social-scientific approaches to Old Testament Studies
-contributors and editor are the leading authoritative thinkers in the field of social-scientific theory and biblical studies
-Content matches the need of level two-three biblical studies undergraduates, as well as suiting seminary courses examining specific biblical texts

Creighton on Luther: An Inaugural Lecture [top]
Delivered and written by Owen Chadwick
First published in 1959
in Great Britain by Cambridge University Press, in paperback, sewn binding.
Original UK retail price: 3s. 6d. net (3 shillings & sixpence)
Contents: The content of the book is that of a lecture delivered to the University of Cambridge on 3 November 1958 on one of the big names of English historical writing, Mandell Creighton, who was the first man employed in the newly founded role of Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Emmanuelle College in 1885, although this branch of study was not founded at Cambridge by Creighton. Creighton was acknowledged as an ecclesiastical history authority on the back of his work to produce 4 text-books of history for students and then he produced the first two volumes of 'The Popes of the Reformation', books which established Mandell Creighton himself and also that he had mastery of the field. The book is a critical approach to Creighton's historical work, and discusses his style, preferences (e.g. it is said he liked his characters 'ordinary', moral stature, courage and attitudes to theology, and much more.

Other relevant works: W. Hotzelt's Kirchengeschichte Palastinas im Zeitalter der Kreuzzuge, 1099-1291 (Cologne, 1940). This deals only with the Kingdom of Jerusalem and concentrates chiefly on the activities of the Latin Patriarchs.
About this book/synopsis: This is the first major work on the history of the secular church in the Frankish states of Syria and the Holy Land - a subject which has not hitherto attracted the interest of ecclesiastical historians. The present book has been written to fill this important gap in crusader studies. It deals with the period stretching from the establishment of a Latin hierarchy after the First Crusade to the final conquest by the Mamluks in 1291. The book does not deal with the military orders except so far as they exercised patronage in the secular church; nor does the book write about the monastic establishment of Latin Syria because adequate treatment of that topic would require a separate volume in itself.
Dr. Hamilton examines the development of the Church in the Patriarchates of Jerusalem and Antioch and its organisation from the parish level upwards. Two chapters are devoted to a study of its sources of income and the financial problems that arose after the Battle of Hattin through the thirteenth century. Particular attention is paid to the relations between the Latin and the Eastern Churches. The author documents the unequal treatment given to the Orthodox and to the separated Churches, and traces the course of the various attempts at church union. In his conclusion, he makes an overall assessment of the spiritual achievements of the Church during this period and the extent to which is justified the first crusaders' ideals

The New Humanity[top]
Written by Bruce Kenrick
First published in 1958
in Great Britain by Collins, in hardback, size: Demy octavo (8 3/4" * 5 5/8"), 191pp, with dustjacket. No ISBN
Introduction by the Reverend Professor James S. Stewart
Jacket design by Harvey
Original UK retail price: 12s. 6d. net (12 shillings and sixpence)
About the Book: Based mostly on work that the author was able to undertake whilst engaged in post-graduate study at Princeton Theological Seminary, 'The New Humanity' is a book with a most urgent and compelling message for to-day, as Professor Stewart stresses in his introduction.
It talks about the essence of what the church is, introducing concepts such as "frontiersmen"-members of the Church living on the frontiers of the Church's life and thinking in terms of Jesus Christ and His Church and posing questions such as "What is the Church?", whilst the majority of the Church's members or brethren are thinking of evangelistic strategy and social action. Professor Stewart in his introduction argues that no matter how dangerous it might seem, thinking about the Church's essence and seeking truth are necessary for the Church to embrace the very life that it seeks to preserve and necessary to avoid dictating to God the limits of her own being. For the Christian, his or her greatest need is not to know what he is supposed to do, but who he is.
When we hear charges of irrelevance and unreality brought against Christianity today, a cogent reason for this is that faith has become separate from life, and religion from material and mundane affairs. The writer insists that the vocation of the Christian involves a threefold identification-with Christ, with the Church, with the world. The argument is presented in a way that makes a deep and lasting impression on the reader's mind

A New Workbook on Rural Evangelism [top]
Written by Charles Napier and Jimmy Hamilton-Brown
With foreword by The Bishop of Wakefield, Nigel McCulloch
First published in 1994 in Great Britain by 'Partners' Publications, 100pp, ISBN 1873529503
Contents/Synopsis:
This new workbook has grown from well-used and much appreciated predecessors (the first was produced in 1976 by the Archbishops' Council on Evanglism, followed by a second workbook produced by ACE's successors who called themselves Partners). Continual requests for the somewhat dated forerunners proved the need for this revised edition. This book attempts to bring evangelism (for some Christian the word 'evangelisation' may be more acceptable as it does not have the overtones of mass meetings, sudden conversions and high pressure salesmanship) into the ordinary rural life of rural Christians -not by introducing a lot of new things which put everyone off - but by helping congregations do the important things better. Good worship, for example, is fundamental to gaining and supporting new Christians-so how can we do it better? And what of the ministry as a whole church to the whole community we live in? For a 'workbook' to work, there must be an easy way in - and the questions at the end of each section are very manageable to help private pondering or group deliberation.

About the Book/Synopsis:
This volume of the Jigsaw series covers the Old Testament books from Joshua to Esther focusing on:
Joshua and the Conquest of Canaan
Samson, Samuel, and the Period of the Judges
Israel's Golden Age Under David and Solomon
Elijah and the Period of the Divided Israelite Kingdoms
Ezra, Nehemiah, and the Return From Exile
Earlier events are dealt with by the Jigsaw book on the Law (Genesis to Deuteronomy). Beginning with the entry of the people of Israel into the promised land of Canaan under Joshua's leadership, the book follows the "rise and fall" of Israel over the next eight centuries. And one of the first aims of the book is to show how the 800 year story fits together. The second aim is to answer readers' questions about why they should read and study about the life of King David or the exploits of Samson or Solomon.
The book explains that it is first looking for Israel because it is a constant presence in Christian faith and in international affairs. Further the book helps Christians look for themselves in the Old Testament History because God's first promise to Abraham of many descendants is a promise that is integral to Christian faith today. Lastly, the book helps the reader look for God to understand him more completely. By studying how he acted in the past, the reader can more fully discover how he can act today.
The most important features of this book are the eight steps for understanding and applying Old Testament History, which are introduced in the first four sessions and presented in brief concise form on the inside back flap, which also contains a brilliant and colourful chart of Israel's history and which period of it was covered by which books, with the main characters and events, the characters involved and notes on the surrounding nations.
Using these eight steps, you should be able to make sense of anything you read in Old Testament History. Unit 1 (sessions 1-4) introduces you to Old Testament history from Joshua to David. Unit 2 (sessions 5-8) surveys the history from Solomon to Nehemiah.
The step by step approach means the reader must tackle the sessions in the order they appear because each session assumes the reader is familiar with the earlier ones. The sessions can be done in an eight-week stretch or the two units can be run as four-week courses
Each session has three parts: Starter: Starter introduces the subject of the session and is aimed at breaking down barriers between group members as you share opinions, ideas and feelings Bible Study: Looks at the number of different passages and introduces the reader to the 8 steps for understanding Old Testament History On Your Own: is an activity to do between sessions (usually 1 hour long)
Is any prior knowledge assumed? No, either of the subject or the passages. Leaders' notes are included at the back. Everyone can participate
Chapters:
Unit 1 From Joshua to David
One. A Foothold in Palestine
Two. Three Unlikely Judges
Three. "See What I did to Shiloh!"
Four. "Give us a King!"
Unit 2 From Solomon to Nehemiah
Five. Prophets and Politicians
Six. The End of Samaria
Seven. Judah Goes into Exile
Eight. A New Start
Bibilography; Detailed Notes on Leading Each Session; Other Jigsaw Books; Summary of Steps for Understanding Old Testament History; History Chart
About the Jigsaw Series:
The studies were developed especially for students and "18-30" groups, but are suitable for much wider use.
The Jigsaw series tries to provide people with a simple method to help them understand the Bible and all its constituent parts such as letters, poems, biographies, proverbs, prayers, family trees and stories. All these different forms of communication can confuse readers and complicate their understanding of the Bible, which leads readers to concentrate on the popular books only. So the Jigsaw series seeks to open up the more unfamiliar books to the reader and to help them understand and apply what they find.
Why open up the unfamiliar books to people? Surely some parts are not relevant to readers? Well, all the Bible is relevant, some parts will not be applicable to the reader right now, but all passages were relevant to someone at some point in the past: the materials were brought together in the Bible that were relevant to different people at different times. Discovering what God was saying to the original hearers is one key for the reader to understanding what God, through the Holy Spirit is saying to the reader now.
The Jigsaw series aspires to help readers discover an original approach to reading law, history, poetry and prophets in the Old Testament; gospels and letters in the New Testament. The method will stay with readers in years to come and will act as something they can look refer to when they need it

The Peculiar People [top]
Written by Mark Sorrell. Foreword by the Rev.d Gilbert Kirby
First published in 1979 in Great Britain by Paternoster Press in hardback, 168pp, ISBN 085364263x
. Original UK retail price: £6.00 net
Contents/Synopsis:
The Peculiar People is a fascinating story of a "grassroots" revivalist movement which flourished in 19th Century Essex. The Peculiar People were loved and respected by many who knew them. They were also notorious throughout the country. For they believed in divine healing and their refusal to accept vaccination even for the dreaded diptheria brought these law-abiding people into conflict with the authorities. Mark Sorrell has made use of contemporary records of all kinds. Newspaper excerpts, contemporary photographs, the laboriously written autobiographies of some of the working-class pioneers of the People, afford a unique vision of an age as fascinating as it is now remote. The Peculiar People, known today as the Union of Evangelical Churches, is now associated with the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches. An appendix lists the chapels which are still functioning. Members of the movement have co-operated to make this book the first official history of the People and one of their pastors has contributed a chapter discussing why the impetus of spiritual renewal slackened in the 20th century.

About this book/synopsis: The bible student without knowledge of the Greek language has in Professor Kenneth S. Wuest's popular Greek word studies a highly useful access to the original language of the New Testament. Like the other volumes in the series, Treasures from the Greek New Testament treats only those things which the student of the English Bible cannot obtain for him or herself and presents the material in a simple non-technical way so that it can be understood by everyone. The present volume discusses some strategic words and concepts used throughout the New Testament, such as "grace" and "love" and contains a very practical chapter on Pauline tactfulness and one called "Greek Grammar and the Deity of Christ".

William Temple. Some Lambeth Letters 1942-1944 [top]
Edited by F. S. Temple. Contains letters written by the Archbishop of Canterbury William Temple
First published in 1963
in Great Britain by Oxford University Press in hardback with dustjacket, 198pp
Includes 5 illustrations. Original UK retail price 30s. net
About this book/synopsis: This selection from William Temple's correspondence as Archbishop of Canterbury begins with his move from York to Canterbury in the spring of 1942 and ends with a letter written two days before his death on 26 October 1944. Between these dates cames one of the most notable archiepiscopates the Church of England has known. Under war conditions, living in makeshift quarters in the bombed Lambeth Palace, and despite the ill-health which led to his early death, Temple gave himself unsparingly to the normal leadership of the church plus all the additional cares of wartime. He had numerous correspondents, from Cabinet Ministers to individual lay people who wrote to him on personal problems ranging from the ethics of war to the inaudibility of the clergy, and he answered them all with the same intellectual thoroughness and sympathetic understanding, even of those with whom he profoundly disagreed.
Although some of the letters paint a vivid picture of wartime England, the permanent principles applied by the Archbishop to the problems of that time make most of them as relevant today as when they were first written. Taken together, the 150 letters present a vivid picture of the Archbishop's genius in action.
The Editor of the volume was the Archbishop's nephew with experience of Lambeth Palace; as such he has been able to draw on family and official resources. Mrs William Temple contributes some personal recollections in an introduction.
