Of Scribes and Sages focuses primarily on early interpretation of Scripture, including the emergence of Scripture as Scripture in its various versions and contexts. It examines recent research into the relationship of the Old Testament to the New and how sacred Scripture was interpreted during New Testament times. It also provides stimulating examples to students, scholars, and clergy in how the task of interpretation is to be done.

To See and Not Perceive

To See and Not Perceive

Craig A. Evans

Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd.
2009
nidottu
In his famous vision of the enthroned and exalted Lord, Isaiah is told to harden the hearts of his people, 'lest they repent' (Isa. 6.9-10). According to Mark's Gospel, which cites this text, Jesus speaks in parables for the same reason. Interpreters of all generations have, not unnaturally, found the text difficult and disturbing. This study is concerned with the fascinating variety of early Jewish and Christian interpretations and modifications that have attempted to cope with the difficulty. At different stages in Judaism and Christianity the Isaianic vision of God is more clearly perceived than at other times. Isa. 6.9-10 is itself indeed shocking and disturbing, but this is not inappropriate in the context of the prophetic message.

Ghosts of those drowned and never recovered are swarming from the depths of Lake Superior. But the ghosts have not come to haunt the living. They are fleeing something far more sinister.Lake Superior is a vast, surreal inland sea. Its clear depths are scattered with broken ships and pallid bodies preserved in frigid water. Along its shore lie ghost towns, the crumbling opulence of lumber barons and mining tycoons, and garish Native casinos.Adam Knowles, a young psychologist working in Indiana, left Sault Sainte Marie years before after his Ojibwe wife was lost to Superior's hungry waters. Was her drowning an accident? Unable to find answers, Adam had fled town, but promised his coworker Ron he would come back if ever needed. Now Ron calls Adam back, at first not revealing the extent of his needs caused by the ghostly sightings.By returning, Adam is forced to face his grief again. He sets up a temporary home in a sprawling B&B operated by Maggie, an elderly Scottish innkeeper. Maggie has an innate spiritual influence upon people, but she is opposed by the loathsome Native healer, James Graves, who seems to have come to town to stir up trouble--and maybe Lake Superior itself. As Maggie, Ron, and Adam come to realize Graves is attempting to master the forces of ancient lore and causing the lake's strange disturbances, they are joined by Gracie Bird, an enigmatic young Native woman, who knows too well Graves' nefarious intentions.In Dead of November, readers will find themselves embroiled in a suspenseful tale of a power-hungry medicine man, ancient Native legends, and the healing that comes with forgiveness.

Jesus and His World

Craig A Evans

WESTMINSTER/JOHN KNOX PRESS,U.S.
2013
pokkari
In this provocative work, world-renowned scholar Craig A. Evans presents the most important archaeological discoveries that shed light on the world of Jesus of Nazareth. Evans challenges many sensational claims that have been proposed in recent books and peddled in the media by using archaeological findings to uncover the truth about several key pieces of Jesus' world. For example, what was the village of Nazareth actually like in the time of Jesus? Did synagogues really exist, as the Gospels say? What does archaeology tell us about the ruling priests who condemned Jesus to death? Has the tomb of Jesus really been found? Evans's engaging prose enables readers to understand and critique the latest theories--both the sober and the sensational--about who Jesus was and what he lived and died for.This new paperback edition includes an additional appendix with questions for discussion and reflection, making it ideal for both group and individual study.

From Jesus to the Church

From Jesus to the Church

Craig A. Evans

WESTMINSTER/JOHN KNOX PRESS,U.S.
2025
pokkari
Did Jesus intend to start a new religion-or was Christianity simply born from conflict?Did Jesus intend to found a church separate from Judaism? Who were the very first followers of Jesus? And how did a clash between two families-the family of Jesus on one hand and the family of high priest Annas and their aristocratic allies on the other-eventually lead to the formation of Christianity?Best-selling author Craig A. Evans looks at how a tumultuous chain of events from 30-70 CE-beginning with Jesus's entry into Jerusalem and subsequent crucifixion and ending with the destruction of the temple-led to the separation between the followers of Jesus and other Jews.Topics include the following: whether Jesus actually intended to found the Christian Churchthe ways in which Jesus's proclamation of the "Kingdom of God" relate to the Christian Churchthe role of James, brother of Jesus, in the new movement in Jerusalemthe tension between James and Paul in the matter of law and worksthe conflict between the families and followers of Jesus and those of the high priest Annas before the destruction of the templethe aftermath of the Jewish rebellion, whereby the Church moved away from its Jewish roots.A power struggle between Jesus's family and the ruling priestly elite set the stage for one of history's most pivotal religious shifts. Best-selling author Craig A. Evans unpacks the dramatic events between 30-70 CE-from Jesus's crucifixion to the temple's destruction-that led to the split between his followers and Judaism. With fresh insights on key figures like James, Paul, and the high priest Annas, this fascinating study explores the early Church's origins and the forces that shaped its future. A must-read for anyone interested in the historical Jesus and the roots of Christianity.

Chinese Asianism, 1894–1945

Chinese Asianism, 1894–1945

Craig A. Smith

Harvard University, Asia Center
2021
sidottu
Chinese Asianism examines Chinese intellectual discussions of East Asian solidarity, analyzing them in connection with Chinese nationalism and Sino–Japanese relations. Beginning with texts written after the first Sino–Japanese War of 1894 and concluding with Wang Jingwei’s failed government in World War II, Craig Smith engages with a period in which the Chinese empire had crumbled and intellectuals were struggling to adapt to imperialism, new and hegemonic forms of government, and radically different epistemes. He considers a wide range of writings that show the depth of the pre-war discourse on Asianism and the influence it had on the rise of nationalism in China.Asianism was a “call” for Asian unity, Smith finds, but advocates of a united and connected Asia based on racial or civilizational commonalities also utilized the packaging of Asia for their own agendas, to the extent that efforts towards international regionalism spurred the construction of Chinese nationalism. Asianism shaped Chinese ideas of nation and region, often by translating and interpreting Japanese perspectives, and leaving behind a legacy in the concepts and terms that persist in the twenty-first century. As China plays a central role in regional East Asian development, Asianism is once again of great importance today.

Sport Skill Instruction for Coaches is designed to help current and aspiring coaches teach the skills athletes need in order to perform at their best. Written from a real-world perspective primarily for high school coaches, this practical, user-friendly text addresses the who, what, and how questions facing every coach: Who are the athletes I'm coaching? What are the skills I need to teach? How do I teach the skills effectively?Coaches will address these questions by thoroughly examining such concepts as individual differences exhibited by athletes; technical, tactical, and mental skills athletes need to learn; content and structure of skill practice; the art of providing feedback; and the preparation of athletes for competition. This exploration prepares coaches to work with athletes competently and confidently.The easy-to-follow format of the text includes learning objectives that introduce each chapter, sidebars illustrating sport-specific applications of key concepts and principles, chapter summaries organized by content and sequence, key terms, chapter review questions, activities that challenge readers to apply concepts to real-world situations, and a comprehensive glossary.

The Legislative Legacy of Edward M. Kennedy

The Legislative Legacy of Edward M. Kennedy

Craig A. Horowitz

McFarland Co Inc
2014
pokkari
Sweeping biographies abound, authorized and nonauthorized, regarding Ted Kennedy. They tend either to applaud him for his ideals or criticize him for his personal flaws. The present work differs. Using historical tools and legal analysis, it closely examines ten major pieces of legislation Kennedy sponsored or strongly backed as well as the attempt at immigration reform he spearheaded with John McCain. This is a balanced and thoroughly researched book. By tracing the legislation from their introduction through passage, and analyzing the actual language of the legislation, the book sheds considerable light both on the unintended consequences through time of the legislation as well as consequences Kennedy intended in attempting to promote reform and combat discrimination.

Generating Abstraction Hierarchies

Generating Abstraction Hierarchies

Craig A. Knoblock

Springer
1993
sidottu
Generating Abstraction Hierarchies presents a completely automated approach to generating abstractions for problem solving. The abstractions are generated using a tractable, domain-independent algorithm whose only inputs are the definition of a problem space and the problem to be solved and whose output is an abstraction hierarchy that is tailored to the particular problem. The algorithm generates abstraction hierarchies that satisfy the `ordered monotonicity' property, which guarantees that the structure of an abstract solution is not changed in the process of refining it. An abstraction hierarchy with this property allows a problem to be decomposed such that the solution in an abstract space can be held invariant while the remaining parts of a problem are solved. The algorithm for generating abstractions is implemented in a system called ALPINE, which generates abstractions for a hierarchical version of the PRODIGY problem solver. Generating Abstraction Hierarchies formally defines this hierarchical problem solving method, shows that under certain assumptions this method can reduce the size of a search space from exponential to linear in the solution size, and describes the implementation of this method in PRODIGY. The abstractions generated by ALPINE are tested in multiple domains on large problem sets and are shown to produce shorter solutions with significantly less search than problem solving without using abstraction. Generating Abstraction Hierarchies will be of interest to researchers in machine learning, planning and problem reformation.

How did the Bible we have come to be? What do biblical scholars mean when they talk about canon, the Septuagint, the Apocrypha, or the Masoretic Text? All this biblical study is interesting, but does it really matter? Leading international scholars explain that it does. This thought-provoking and cutting-edge collection will help you go deeper in your understanding of the biblical writings, how those writings became canonical Scripture, and why canon matters. Beginning with an explanation of the different versions of the Hebrew Bible, scholars in different areas of expertise explore the complexities and issues related to the Old and New Testament canons, why different Jewish and Christian communities have different collections, and the importance of canon to theology.
