This study argues that the book of Hosea ought to be understood and read as a text that was composed in Persian-period Yehud rather than in eight-century Israel. The author challenges the traditional scholarship and emphasizes that there is the evidence to suggest that the book should be viewed as a Judahite text - a book that was composed in the late sixth or early fifth century B.C.E.Bos provides an overview of the state of prophetic research, as well as a discussion of genre and the generation of prophetic books, linguistic dating and provenance; and a survey of Hosea research. Bos discusses various aspects of the book of Hosea that aim to prove his argument the book was composed in Persian-period Yehud - the anti-monarchical ideology of the book, the dual theme of ‘Exile' and ‘Return' which is consistent with the discourse found in other Judahite books dating to the sixth century; and the historiographical traditions.

James M. Neumann proposes that there is far more at work in Mark’s portrayal of Jesus as Son of God, and what it means for Mark to depict him as such, than past scholarship has recognized. He argues that Mark presents Jesus’s life from beginning to end as the actualization of Psalm 2: a coronation hymn describing the Davidic king as God’s “son,” which was interpreted messianically in early Judaism and christologically in early Christianity. Rather than a simple title, the designation of Jesus as God’s “Son” in Mark contains and encapsulates an entire story of its own. Beginning with an analysis of why this most important identity of Jesus in the Gospel has been under-studied, Neumann retraces the interpretive traditions surrounding Psalm 2 in early Judaism and Christianity alike. Pointing to Mark's first introduction of Jesus as God's Son into the narrative via an allusion to Ps 2:7 and portraying his baptism as a royal anointing, he demonstrates how Jesus begins to realize the implications of his anointment through his disestablishment of Satan’s kingdom. Focusing on the repetition of the allusion to Ps 2:7 at Jesus’s transfiguration and exploring how the Parable of the Vineyard uniquely encapsulates the Gospel as a whole, Neumann traces the use of the psalm throughout the Markan passion narrative, contending that, in Mark’s vision, the hope envisaged by the psalm has been realized: the Son begins to inherit (the worship of) the nations. He concludes that Mark paradoxically portrays the accomplishment of the Messiah’s victory through Jesus’s crucifixion.

Retired Astrophysicist and U.S. Black Ops program scientist Dr. Horace Mitchel has been placed on an international government hit list. He's on the list because he's in possession of highly classified information, information that would literally change the world's entire traditionally accepted religious and historical views and destroy the system. He possesses above top-secret information that reveals how we've always had "Visitations" from the negroid looking, black aliens who created us. In his old leather journal is secret information about how these interdimensional entities have assisted by giving us new technology and on occasion intervening in the affairs of men. Dr. Mitchel has detailed evidence that proves that the 1947 Roswell New Mexico so-called alien crashes were faked, to give birth to the lie of "little green men" and flying saucers. His journal holds the proof that exposes how the governments of the world, led by the United States of America, have conspired to never allow the masses to know the truth. The truth is we are not alone and never have been. Dr. Mitchel and the twelve people who eventually join him, go on an amazing journey to where mankind's history really begins. A distant place called Adimowa, which we call Heaven.
Not every story has a happy ending. The near future. Justice is corrupt, logic gives way to senseless passion, fear is propagated by the government. Respect, dignity, and integrity are replaced by blood, lust, and torture. They are hunting you. While you suffer, others are having fun. This world, where citizens are more interested in recording a deadly event rather than saving a life, is were evil lies. A small band of people must battle the terror of a supreme company to survive. Being forced into an underground bunker, Tommy faces an unbelievable challenge; reality. But it's not so easy to survive when he discovers the dark tunnels lined with blood. Even worse, Tommy's girlfriend, Dahria, seems to be in the crosshairs of this crazed person. Together with a small group of people, they struggle against an unknown killer who seems to greatly enjoy the deeds. And is hungry to play more games.
This book, The Agape Spectrum, has something for every reader. It's a fast read that quickly drew me in. I was touched because the special sand made me realize that I don't take the time to try to see others through Jesus' eyes. The happy, thought-provoking end was also fulfilling. Becky Hade, Dietary/Service Manager, Mt. View Services This murder mystery with a strong evangelical message has a number of twists and turns that captivate the reader. It's a "who-done-it" that leaves the reader surprised at who actually committed the crime, all the while sprinkled with the saving message of Jesus Christ. The Agape Spectrum is a very interesting read Jen Janecek, Treasurer, Inland Empire Branch, National League of American Pen Women The Agape Spectrum is an engaging and entertaining page-turner from author James Ruether, featuring a fine balance of romance, suspense, and fabulism.

Erroll Garner (1921-1977) was an inimitable jazz pianist and composer who enjoyed international recognition performing for audiences in concert halls and clubs throughout the world. He released many of his own compositions as well as popular songs on more than forty record labels throughout his career. In Erroll: The Essential LPs, author Jim Doran surveys well over a hundred 10- and 12-inch LPs produced over Garner's thirty years of recorded output. Each LP has its own page, in color, that lists the song titles and discographical information, including personnel, dates, and locations of the recording sessions. Doran celebrates those individuals behind the scenes who produced the visual art of the album covers-the art directors, graphic designers, photographers, artists, and illustrators. He also takes note of the record labels, including Atlantic, Blue Note, Columbia, Mercury, MGM, Philips, and Savoy. Also included is a well-crafted biography that takes us from Garner and his twin brother's birth in the East Liberty section of Pittsburgh all the way through his magnificent career starting with the Kan-D-Kids on radio station KQV. This book is a visual extravaganza and a remarkable achievement that dignifies the life and recorded output of Erroll Garner. This volume is certainly an important addition to the literature of jazz that will serve scholars, researchers, and Garner collectors for many years to come.
