Download or read book The Spatial, the Legal and the Pragmatics of World-Making written by David Delaney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical legal geography is practised by an increasing number of scholars in various disciplines, but it has not had the benefit of an overarching theoretical framework that might overcome its currently rather ad hoc character. The Spatial, the Legal and the Pragmatics of World-Making remedies this situation. Presenting a balanced convergence of contemporary socio-legal and critical geographic scholarship, David Delaney offers a ground-breaking contribution to the fast growing field of legal geography. Drawing on strands of critical social studies that inform both of these areas, this book has three primary components. First, it introduces a framework of interpretation and analysis centred on the productive neologisms ‘nomosphere’ and ‘nomoscapes’. Nomosphere refers to the cultural-material environs that are constituted by the reciprocal materialization of ‘the legal’ and the legal signification of the ‘socio-spatial'. Nomoscapes are the spatio-legal expression and the socio-material realization of ideologies, values, pervasive power orders and social projects. They are extensive ensembles of legal spaces within and through which lives are lived and, here, these neologisms are related to the more familiar notions of governmentality and performativity. Second, these neologisms are explored and applied through a series of illustrations and extensive case studies. Demonstrating their utility for scholars and students in relevant disciplines, these ‘empirical’ studies concern: the public and the private; property and land tenure; governance; the domestic and the international; and legal-spatial confinements and containments. Third, these studies contribute to an ongoing theorization of the experiential, situated pragmatics of ‘world-making'. The role of nomospheric projects and counter-projects, techniques and operations is therefore emphasized. Much of what is experientially significant about how the world is as it is and what it’s like to be in the world directly implicates the dynamic interplay of space, law, meaning and power. The Spatial, the Legal and the Pragmatics of World-Making provides the interpretive resources necessary for discerning and understanding the practices and projects involved in this interplay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fortress Commentary on the Bible: Old Testament and Apocrypha presents a balanced synthesis of current scholarship, enabling readers to interpret Scripture for a complex and pluralistic world. The contributors bring a rich diversity of perspectives to the task of connecting solid historical critical analysis of the Scripture with sensitivity to theological, cultural, and interpretive issues arising in our encounter with the text. The contributors represent a broad array of theological commitmentProtestants, Catholics, Jews, and others. The introductory articles and section introductions in the volume discuss the dramatic challenges that have shaped contemporary interpretation of the Old Testament and Apocrypha. Individual book articles provide an introduction and commentary on key sense units that are explored through the lenses of three critical questions: The text in its ancient context. What did the text probably mean in its original historical and cultural context? The text in the interpretive tradition. How have centuries of reading and interpreting shaped our understanding of the text? The text in contemporary discussion. What are the unique challenges and interpretive questions that arise for readers and hearers of the text today? The result is a commentary that is comprehensive and useful for preaching, teaching, and research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is one of the most important works on ancient Athens in the last fifty years. The focus is on the early city, from the end of the Bronze Age--ca. 1200 BCE--to the Archaic period, when Athens became the largest city of the Classical period, only to be destroyed by the Persians in 480/479 BCE. From a systematic study of all the excavation reports and surveys in central Athens, the author has synthesized a detailed diachronic overview of the city from the Submycenaean period through the Archaic. It is a treasure trove of information for archaeologists who work in this period. Of great value as well are the detailed maps included, which present features of ancient settlements and cemeteries, the repositories of the human physical record. Over eighty additional large-scale, interactive maps are available online to complement the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While previous research has illuminated the origins and development of the Zion tradition, this book is the first to make a thorough study of Zion as a theological symbol within the larger Jerusalem cult tradition. Drawing primarily on the Psalms and Isaiah of Jerusalem, Ollenburger shows that Zion serves pre-eminently to symbolize the kingship of Yahweh on Zion as creator and defender of world order. As such, Zion serves also to symbolize security and refuge, particularly for the poor. This study constitutes a powerful argument against the tendency of Old Testament theologians to devalue the cosmic Zion symbolism in favour of the historical theology of the exodus, especially when assessing the contemporary import of Old Testament theology. Zion symbolism is anything but an ideological tool legitimating a self-sufficient and self-serving monarchy. Instead it serves as the basis for a radical critique of the projects and pretensions of Judah's royal court.

Book excerpt: How to Integrate the Many Names of God into Prayer Immerse yourself in the profound exploration of the divine identities in "Divine Dialogue: Integrating the Many Names of God into Prayer." This comprehensive study serves as a spiritual guide, offering an enriching journey that delves deep into the heart of Biblical text to discover and unravel the significance of the myriad names of God, emphasizing their application in personal prayer life. At the outset, the book invites you on a sacred pilgrimage, tracing the footsteps of the biblical patriarchs and understanding the significance of their encounters with God. We start with the supreme creator, God himself, recognized by various names - God, Jehovah, Elohim, and Most High. This section takes us back to the creation's roots, bringing to light the profound implications of these names that represent God's omnipotence and supreme authority. We then traverse the covenantal journey, reflecting on God's promises, captured in the names El Shaddai, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, and Jehovah Nissi, among others. These are more than just names; they serve as powerful reminders of God's enduring commitment and steadfast love toward humanity. From the God of covenants, we move towards God's attributes, reflecting His comforting, hopeful, loving, and peaceful nature. These names embody the many facets of God's character and His relational aspect, acting as a beacon of hope and solace in our everyday lives. Next, we delve into the awe-inspiring mystery of the Incarnation through the names of Jesus Christ. Immanuel, Christ, Son of Man, Son of God — these names emphasize the divine condescension and the bridge between the divine and human nature. The discussion enhances our understanding of Christ’s mission and His role as our mediator and savior. We also explore the majestic titles of Jesus that emphasize his universal reign and his peace-bringing role—King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Prince of Peace, and the Alpha and Omega. We then transition to understanding Christ's redemptive work through names such as the Lamb of God, the Way, the Truth, the Life, the Vine, and the Good Shepherd. Delving deeper, we study Christ's divine authority through names that underline His headship over the church and His preeminence over creation. These names emphasize the authority and sovereignty of Christ, reassuring us of His victorious reign. As we move into the realm of the Holy Spirit, the book unveils the multitude of names that represent His divine work and influence in our lives. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Truth, and many more—each name inviting us to experience the transformative and sanctifying power of the Spirit. The narrative continues to unpack the guiding and comforting roles of the Holy Spirit, reflected through names such as the Comforter, Counselor, Advocate, and Helper. These names encourage us to lean on the Spirit for guidance, strength, and comfort. We then venture into the vivifying aspect of the Spirit, exploring names that speak of life and glory. The Eternal Spirit, Power of the Highest, Spirit of Life, and Spirit of Glory — these names inspire us to live a Spirit-led life that reflects God's glory. The exploration of the Spirit culminates with an examination of the Sealing Spirit, represented by names like the Seal, Deposit/Guarantee, Spirit of Grace and Supplication, and Fire. These names underscore the Spirit's role in assuring, empowering, and sanctifying believers. The book concludes with an enriching study of the various names emphasizing God's special relationship with Israel, His righteous judgment, His peace and rest, His strength and refuge, His light and truth, and His deliverance and salvation.

Download or read book Family and Household Religion in Ancient Israel and the Levant written by Rainer Albertz and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past several decades, family and household religion has become a topic of Old Testament scholarship in its own right, fed by what were initially three distinct approaches: the religious-historical approach, the gender-oriented approach, and the archaeological approach. The first pursues answers to questions of the commonality and difference between varieties of family religion and describes the household and family religions of Mesopotamia, Syria/Ugarit, Israel, Philistia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Gender-oriented approaches also contribute uniquely important insights to family and household religion. Pioneers of this sort of investigation show that, although women in ancient Israelite societies were very restricted in their participation in the official cult, there were familial rituals performed in domestic environments in which women played prominent roles, especially as related to fertility, childbirth, and food preparation. Archaeologists have worked to illuminate many aspects of this family religion as enacted by and related to the nuclear family unit and have found evidence that domestic cults were more important in Israel than has previously been understood. One might even conceive of every family as having actively partaken in ritual activities within its domestic environment. Family and Household Religion in Ancient Israel and the Levant analyzes the appropriateness of the combined term family and household religion and identifies the types of family that existed in ancient Israel on the basis of both literary and archaeological evidence. Comparative evidence from Iron Age Philistia, Transjordan, Syria, and Phoenicia is presented. This monumental book presents a typology of cult places that extends from domestic cults to local sanctuaries and state temples. It details family religious beliefs as expressed in the almost 3,000 individual Hebrew personal names that have so far been recorded in epigraphic and biblical material. The Hebrew onomasticon is further compared with 1,400 Ammonite, Moabite, Aramean, and Phoenician names. These data encompass the vast majority of known Hebrew personal names and a substantial sample of the names from surrounding cultures. In this impressive compilation of evidence, the authors describe the variety of rites performed by families at home, at a neighborhood shrine, or at work. Burial rituals and the ritual care for the dead are examined. A comprehensive bibliography, extensive appendixes, and several helpful indexes round out the masterful textual material to form a one-volume compendium that no scholar of ancient Israelite religion and archaeology can afford not to own.

Book excerpt: Bringing together a wide variety of material in many different languages that exists from the substantial body of work left by this large empire, The Persian Empire presents annotated translations, together with introductions to the problems of using it in order to gain an understanding of the history and working os this remarkable political entity. The Achaemenid empire developed in the region of modern Fars (Islam) and expanded to unite territories stretching from the Segean and Egypt in the west to Central Asia and north-west India, which it ruled for over 200 years until its conquest by Alexander of Macedon. Although all these regions had long since been in contact with each other, they had never been linked under a single regime. The Persian empire represents an important phase of transformation for its subjects, such as the Jews, as well as those living on its edges, such as the European Greeks.

Book excerpt: This landmark dictionary proves that English words can be traced back to the universal, original language, Biblical Hebrew. Genesis II supports a 'Mother Tongue' thesis, and the Bible also claims that Adam named the animals. This may seem difficult to accept, but then why do the translations of the following animals' names: Skunk, Gopher, Giraffe and Horse actually have corresponding meanings in Biblical Hebrew, such as: Stinker, Digger, Neck and Plower? The book features overwhelming data suggesting that the roots of all human words are universal, and that words have related synonyms and antonyms that must have been intelligently designed (perhaps by the designer of life himself!) The current hypothesis that language evolved from grunting ape-men may seem like the flat earth theory after reading this book. The 22,000 English-Hebrew links provide surprising evidence, and open new worlds of understanding, once we consider that all of these similar words could not be coincidences.

It equips us with discernment to recognize healthy boundaries, navigate conflicts with grace and cultivate meaningful connections with others. Our Lord is the Creator and sustainer of the universe, the owner of all things seen and unseen. His riches in glory are beyond measure, he delights in sharing them with us. As heirs of God's kingdom, we can approach him with confidence, knowing that he has more than enough to meet our need. As believers, we are invited to experience this divine peace by surrendering our anxieties, fears, and worries to the loving care of our heavenly Father. When we entrust our cares to him through prayer and supplication, his peace descends upon us like a garment, enveloping us of joy. The peace of God serves as a guardian for our hearts and minds, protecting us from the barrage of doubt, fear, and despair. His compassion knows no bounds, reaching out to the broken, the weary and the downtrodden. He is the Good Shepherd who seeks out the lost sheep, the Healer who binds up the wounds of the broken-hearted and the Redeemer who offers forgiveness and restoration to the repentant sinner.

In times of trouble, his light shines brightly in the darkness and guide us through the storms of life. This is the type of person we need to walk with in life. We look save and at peace all the time. Central to Jesus mission as a shepherd is to lay down his life for his sheep. This sacrificial gesture is unparalleled, showing Christ's love and the length to which he was willing to go to ensure the safety and well-being of his people. His death on the cross becomes the ultimate expression of his devotion, as he willingly offers himself as a ransom for our sins. He is there interceding for us in our weaknesses, our trials, and our moments of doubt. He understands our struggles and pains. He offers us comfort, strength, and grace to sustain us through every season of life. His intercession serves as a source of hope and assurance, reminding us that we are never alone, and that nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. With trust in the Lord, we shall walk with him unhindered, harvesting miracles all along in the following areas: 1.
