Book excerpt: How did the Jesus movement grow from a few dozen frightened followers to a worldwide phenomenon in just a few decades--with no detailed strategy, no buildings, no budget, and every obstacle imaginable? To seek the truth, René Schlaepfer set out to retrace the journeys of the original apostles through the Mediterranean world as told in the biblical Book of Acts. As he visits ancient sites in Israel, Turkey, Greece, Italy and several Aegean Sea islands, René meets with archaeological experts--and encounters modern thieves, rioting mobs, and nests of serpents. His adventures are enlightening, entertaining, and inspiring. In Acts Odyssey: On the Trail of the Apostles, René strips away 21 centuries of accumulated debris--myths and traditions and legends--for a fresh glimpse of the original Jesus movement that changed the world. Your faith will be challenged. Your hope will be strengthened. Your vision will be increased. And you'll be convinced it can happen again. With 7-week web-based video small group curriculum.

Papers have been selected for their clarity and accessibility, and each is informed by close attention to philological and textual detail. A full glossary and list of abbreviations have been included, and a specially written introduction puts the selections in a wider context by giving an overview of major strands in the interpretation of Homer in the second half of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: div In this provocative challenge to prevailing views of New Testament sources, Dennis R. MacDonald argues that the origins of passages in the book of Acts are to be found not in early Christian legends but in the epics of Homer. MacDonald focuses on four passages in the book of Acts, examines their potential parallels in the Iliad, and concludes that the author of Acts composed them using famous scenes in Homer’s work as a model. Tracing the influence of passages from the Iliad on subsequent ancient literature, MacDonald shows how the story generated a vibrant, mimetic literary tradition long before Luke composed the Acts. Luke could have expected educated readers to recognize his transformation of these tales and to see that the Christian God and heroes were superior to Homeric gods and heroes. Building upon and extending the analytic methods of his earlier book, The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark, MacDonald opens an original and promising appreciation not only of Acts but also of the composition of early Christian narrative in general. /DIV

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents a coherent interpretation of the Malta episode by arguing that Acts 28:1-10 narrates a theoxeny, that is, an account of unknowing hospitality to a god which results in the establishment of a fictive kinship relationship between the Maltese barbarians and Paul and his God. In light of the connection between hospitality and piety to the gods in the ancient Mediterranean, Luke ends his second volume in this manner to portray Gentile hospitality as the appropriate response to Paul’s message of God’s salvation -- a response that portrays them as hospitable exemplars within the Lukan narrative and contrasts them with the Roman Jews who reject Paul and his message.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Odyssey's larger plot is composed of a number of distinct genres of myth, all of which are extant in various Near Eastern cultures (Mesopotamian, West Semitic, and Egyptian). Unexpectedly, the Near Eastern culture with which the Odyssey has the most parallels is the Old Testament. Consideration of how much of the Odyssey focuses on non-heroic episodes - hosts receiving guests, a king disguised as a beggar, recognition scenes between long-separated family members - reaffirms the Odyssey's parallels with the Bible. In particular the book argues that the Odyssey is in a dialogic relationship with Genesis, which features the same three types of myth that comprise the majority of the Odyssey: theoxeny, romance (Joseph in Egypt), and Argonautic myth (Jacob winning Rachel from Laban). The Odyssey also offers intriguing parallels to the Book of Jonah, and Odysseus' treatment by the suitors offers close parallels to the Gospels' depiction of Christ in Jerusalem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2020 PROSE Awards, Classics section Homer’s Odyssey is the first great travel narrative in Western culture. A compelling tale about the consequences of war, and about redemption, transformation, and the search for home, the Odyssey continues to be studied in universities and schools, and to be read and referred to by ordinary readers. Reading Homer’s Odyssey offers a book-by-book commentary on the epic’s themes that informs the non-specialist and engages the seasoned reader in new perspectives. Among the themes discussed are hospitality, survival, wealth, reputation and immortality, the Olympian gods, self-reliance and community, civility, behavior, etiquette and technology, ease, inactivity and stagnation, Penelope’s relationship with Odysseus, Telemachus’ journey, Odysseus’ rejection of Calypso’s offer of immortality, Odysseus’ lies, Homer’s use of the House of Atreus and other myths, the cinematic qualities of the epic’s structure, women’s role in the epic, and the Odyssey’s true ending. Footnotes clarify and elaborate upon myths that Homer leaves unfinished, explain terms and phrases, and provide background information. The volume concludes with a general bibliography of work on the Odyssey, in addition to the bibliographies that accompany each book’s commentary. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

Book excerpt: "In Ancient Supplication, the first book-length treatment of the subject, F. S. Naiden establishes the centrality of supplication to our understanding of ancient society. He investigates the varied gestures made by the suppliants, the types of requests they tender, the arguments used in defense of requests, and the role of the supplicandus, who evaluates and decides whether to fulfill the requests. Naiden formulates an analysis of the practice in its sacred and social aspect, articulating literary, legal, and political dimensions. In constructing this analysis, he considered more than 800 acts of supplication from Greek, Hebrew, and Roman literature and varied visual sources. The variety and abundance of these sources allow him to establish a typology of supplication, inviting comparison between diverse societies. Numerous illustrations and a map of relevant locations accompany the text. Classicists will benefit from Naiden's treatment of familiar passages while historians and legal scholars will find that a deeper understanding of supplication lends a new context to their own fields of study."--BOOK JACKET.
