| 978-1-60724-412-7 | Stephens, W. R. W., and Clinton Bennett. Christianity and Islam
Based on lectures delivered in Chichester Cathedral, this book mirrors typical nineteenth century English attitudes toward the non-European space. This needed Christianity and European political oversight, or its people would remain backward and spiritually lost. The book shows how someone whose inclinations were liberal could look at Islam and dislike what he saw. On the other hand, the book also shows that a non-specialist scholar in the second half of the nineteenth century could write seriously if not impartially about Islam using material available in European languages. This suggests that Islam was a subject of increasing interest in Victorian England. More... | $104.00 | Add to Cart | |

| 978-1-60724-028-0 | Modine, Mitchel. The Dialogues of Jeremiah
This volume reads the diverse contents of Jeremiah as a kind of dialogue between competing perceptions of the exile. The author argues that coherence is to be found precisely in the incoherence, as it reflects the communal trauma of exile. More... | $118.04 | Add to Cart | | 
| 978-1-60724-057-0 | Mitchell, Matthew. Abortion and the Apostolate
This book examines Paul’s descriptions of his conversion experience in Galatians and 1 Corinthians, and argues that the mission to the Gentiles is best viewed as Paul’s response to the rejection of his claim to be an apostle. More... | $111.56 | Add to Cart | |

| 978-1-59333-964-7 | de Lagarde, Paul. Hieronymi Quaestiones Hebraicae in Libro Geneseos
Written in the scholarly Latin of his day, Lagarde considers in this brief study the questions Jerome raises on the Hebrew of the book of Genesis. In an abridged commentary form, Lagarde follows the questions in the order in which the book of Genesis presents the material. Beginning with the creation, Lagarde skips along to the phrases of Jerome’s text that raise questions and provides his insights about them. Presuming that the reader of the Vulgate will understand the Latin of the original, the comments on the material are likewise written in Latin. More... | $37.70 | Add to Cart | | 
| 978-1-59333-962-3 | de Lagarde, Paul. Materialien zur Kritik und Geschichte des Pentateuchs
Originally published in two volumes, this edition of the Arabic translation of the Pentateuch stands as one of Lagarde’s lasting contributions to biblical scholarship. Critical editions make frequent reference to this work. Included are two translations of Genesis into Arabic, along with a single version of the remaining pentateuchal books, also in Arabic. The first translation of Genesis represents the tradition of the Paris Polyglot, translated directly from the Hebrew, while the second is a cantena text from the Syriac tradition, representing two-thirds of Genesis. Lagarde’s study provides a valuable text-critical tool and easy access to the Arabic versions of the material. More... | $133.00 | Add to Cart | | 
| 978-1-59333-953-1 | Purinton, Carl. The Re-Interpretation of Jesus in the New Testament
Believing that a firm basis for understanding Jesus could be found in the sources of the Bible, Purinton undertook to justify such sources as Paul’s letters and the gospels as authentic source material for the life of Jesus. He examined all the books of the New Testament, but with the realization that not all of the Epistles add to our knowledge of who Jesus was. Purinton wished to make Jesus accessible by means of a scholarly study of his life, in this venture his book has few equals even today. More... | $107.36 | Add to Cart | |

Considering both the Assyrian and biblical sources for the description of Sennacherib’s devastating invasion on Palestine, Honor tests the records to see if he can develop an historical account. He makes use of the Annals of Sennacherib and the biblical books of 2 Kings, 2 Chronicle, and Isaiah. More... | $45.00 | Add to Cart | | 
| 978-1-59333-848-0 | Smith, Henry. Old Testament History
This classic study by a biblical scholar at the turn of the twentieth century is a period piece as well as a stepping stone into the discussions as they continue today. Smith covers each period of the history of the Hebrew Scriptures, beginning with the sources and origins, and taking the study up through the Greek and heroic ages until the time of the reigning High Priests. A standard of biblical study for many years, Smith is still read and enjoyed by those who want to be reminded of how the Bible was viewed before the Fundamentalist debates somewhat later in the century.

The perennial source in English on the work of Wilhelm Gesenius, Miller’s monograph was one of the first to attempt such a study. In the years since its publication, Miller’s book has yet to be superseded. He also provides information on the editors of Gesenius’s material, Franz Dietrich, F. Muehlau, W. Volck, and Frants Buhl.

| 978-1-60724-059-4 | Stewart, Columba. Yours, Mine, or Theirs? Historical Observations on the Use, Collection and Sharing of Manuscripts in Western Europe and the Christian Orient
In the west centuries ago manuscripts were replaced by printed books, and relegated to mostly secular libraries as a result of religious and political upheavals. In the Christian Orient such changes were slower and remain less advanced. Manuscripts have not entirely vanished from regular use, and Christian communities retain ownership of significant collections of their historic manuscripts. The vital connection between manuscripts and religious culture endures, even if attenuated by persecution, diaspora, technology, and other aspects of modernity. This essay provides an historical survey of these issues in both Europe and the Christian Orient (limited here to the Middle East, the Caucasus, and Ethiopia/Eritrea).

| 978-1-60724-035-8 | Childers, J. Virtuous Reading: Aphrahat's Approach to Scripture
The epistemology of the mid-fourth-century Christian scholar in Persia, Aphrahat, presumes that the human mind and the task of biblical interpretation are caught up in a dynamic experience of Christian spiritual transformation. In short, for the Persian Sage, good Bible interpretation requires nothing less than the total person—inner and outer, in community and before God. In Aphrahat’s Demonstrations, we encounter a scholar who not only presents this remarkably integrated set of ideals but is also an impressive practitioner of them. More... | $29.00 | Add to Cart | |

Canaanite public religious practice during the Middle Bronze Age centered on the temple and its courtyards.

| 978-1-59333-698-1 | Niculescu, Mihai. The Spell of the Logos
Origen’s construal of the Bible as a textual incarnation of the Word encourages an assimilationist interpretation of the Hebrew Scriptures as a proto-Christian gospel. Although in partial agreement with this thesis, this study suggests a non-assimilationist reading of Origen’s biblical exegesis. More... | $99.00 | Add to Cart | | 
| 978-1-59333-965-4 | de Lagarde, Paul. The Coptic Pentateuch and Arabic Gospels
Written in the days when textual criticism was still relatively new, and the great mass of manuscripts commonly used by present-day biblical scholars had not yet been plumbed, Lagarde spent many years making these exotic manuscripts available to scholars who previously had no access to them. In this volume are combined two manuscripts: the Pentateuch translated into Coptic, and the Gospels translated into Arabic. Despite the relatively recent dates of the manuscript sources for both collections, the material contained in these translations dates back to earlier days. Each of these translations is introduced in German with some critical notes about the readings included. More... | $165.00 | Add to Cart | | 
| 978-1-60724-122-5 | Burkitt, F. The Rivals of the Canonical Gospels
Originally delivered as one of the Jowett Lectures for 1906, the contents of this booklet emerged during the first quest for the historical Jesus. Somewhat surprisingly, Burkitt discovered that historical criticism increased the historical credibility of the Synoptic Gospels in his estimation. This ninth lecture in the series concerns itself with the non-canonical, or apocryphal gospels. Written before the discovery of the Nag-Hammadi library, this study considers the Testamentum Domini, Pistis Sophia, the Gospel and Apocalypse of St. Peter, the Protevangelium of James, the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel According to the Hebrews, and the Oxyrhynchus Logia..

Originally delivered as one of the Jowett Lectures for 1906, the contents of this booklet emerged during the first quest for the historical Jesus. Somewhat surprisingly, Burkitt discovered that historical criticism increased the historical credibility of the Synoptic Gospels in his estimation. This eighth lecture in the series addresses Marcion. Burkitt focuses on how this early Christian thinker remained ahead of his time while also falling out of the mainstream of what was an emerging Christianity. More... | $29.00 | Add to Cart | | 
| 978-1-60724-120-1 | Burkitt, F. The Gospel Canon
Originally delivered as one of the Jowett Lectures for 1906, the contents of this booklet emerged during the first quest for the historical Jesus. Somewhat surprisingly, Burkitt discovered that historical criticism increased the historical credibility of the Synoptic Gospels in his estimation. This seventh lecture in the series traces the origin of the authoritative four-fold Gospels to about 150 of the Common Era when they are amply attested together. Positing a three-stage evolution to the canonical Gospels, Burkitt notes that other Gospels did not measure up to the same standard. More... | $29.00 | Add to Cart | |

Originally delivered as one of the Jowett Lectures for 1906, the contents of this booklet emerged during the first quest for the historical Jesus. Somewhat surprisingly, Burkitt discovered that historical criticism increased the historical credibility of the Synoptic Gospels in his estimation. This sixth lecture in the series turns to the Gospel of John. Burkitt addresses the enduring questions of authorship and historicity, comparing the Gospel of John to the Synoptics, Philo, the Gnostics, and the Stoics. More... | $29.00 | Add to Cart | |

Originally delivered as one of the Jowett Lectures for 1906, the contents of this booklet emerged during the first quest for the historical Jesus. Somewhat surprisingly, Burkitt discovered that historical criticism increased the historical credibility of the Synoptic Gospels in his estimation. This fifth lecture in the series examines the concept of gospel in Matthew and Luke. Burkitt notes the special emphases and concerns of these two Gospel writers, calling attention to how they differ from each other and also from Mark. More... | $29.00 | Add to Cart | | 
| 978-1-60724-117-1 | Burkitt, F. The Teaching of Jesus Christ
Originally delivered as one of the Jowett Lectures for 1906, the contents of this booklet emerged during the first quest for the historical Jesus. Somewhat surprisingly, Burkitt discovered that historical criticism increased the historical credibility of the Synoptic Gospels in his estimation. This fourth lecture in the series begins by noting that in early Christianity it was Jesus that was preached and not Jesus’ sayings. Burkitt thus suggests some criteria for finding Jesus’ original words and then applies them in order to reconstruct the teachings of Jesus. More... | $29.00 | Add to Cart | |
