This study portrays Cyril of Alexandria as exegete and theologian through an examination of his Commentary on the Gospel John. It begins with an attempt to place Cyril and his commentary within their context. This work argues that Cyril wrote his Commentary on the Gospel of John early in his writing career, almost a decade before becoming bishop. Cyril’s commentary on the Johannine Gospel reveals his exegetical method and his strong Trinitarian theology. The commentary also focuses the nature and work of the Holy Spirit: the indwelling of the Spirit is the beginning of the newness of life. |
|  | Eros and Ritual in Ancient Literature by Evangelia Anagnostou-Laoutides
This book examines popular erotic myths with regard to their origins and literary treatment throughout antiquity. The relation of ritual to certain mythic patterns that reflect initiation rites is also considered. These myths reinforce the association between cult and mythology in literature. Initiation patterns were employed as literary metaphors for falling in love or even for holding a philosophical argument on human progress. The myths are chosen in order to form a narrative sequence, but also as an example of how mythic patterns can be variously manipulated in literature. |
|  | Exegesis in the Targum of Psalms: The Old, the New, and the Rewritten by Timothy Edwards
The Old, the New and the Rewritten illustrates how Targum Psalms creatively interprets selected psalms and how those interpretations relate to other Jewish and Christian traditions, including early translations of the psalms, rabbinic Midrashim, the New Testament and early Church Fathers. The study of these Psalms suggests viewing Targum Psalms as a creative partner in the world of biblical interpretation, as opposed to a compilation of already existing midrashic material. Edwards portrays the Targum as a link between the written and oral Torah that leads its readers on a path to tradition. |
|  | Teacher of Holiness: The Holy Spirit in Origen's Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans by Maureen Beyer Moser
This book explores the pneumatology of Origen's Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans illustrates the centrality of the Holy Spirit for his theological project. As both God's exitus into the world and humanity's reditus to God, the Spirit forms the crucial link between Origen's doctrine of God and his spiritual anthropology. Origen's images for the Holy Spirit, understood in the context of second century concepts of 'spirit,' convey the intersection of theology and anthropology in his thought. This book explores Origen's understanding of the multiplicity of spirits found in the Scriptures, with particular emphasis on the Holy Spirit as pivotal to God's outreach into the world. |
|  | Meccan Trade and the Rise of Islam by Patricia Crone
Patricia Crone reassesses one of the most widely accepted dogmas in contemporary accounts of the beginnings of Islam: the supposition that Mecca was a trading center. In addition, she seeks to elucidate sources on which we should reconstruct our picture of the birth of the new religion in Arabia. |

This monograph, in its second, hard-to-locate edition, is a touchstone in the history of ideas. Noticing similarities in the monumental architecture of European sites and the edifices of the Pyramid Age in Egypt, Smith proposed a viable connection between the two. This connection he had tied to ethnicity in a challenge to conventional anthropological models. Tying proto-Egyptians with the ancient peoples of Syria, Smith set up an organic link between the two cultures. He explores the political relations in the Middle East in antiquity and, specifically, how Egyptian culture spread. This second edition also includes a chapter on the famous tomb of King Tut.
Grafton Elliot Smith (1871-1937) possessed an unusual background for one so interested in the ancient Egyptians. An MD with a special interest in comparative neurology, he became fascinated with the Egyptians after taking on a position at Cambridge University and moving on to teach in Cairo. He was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society and appointed to teach at the University of Manchester. He eventually moved to the University College of London where he spent the remainder of his career.
