Tyler Roberts encourages scholars to abandon the conceptual opposition between "secular" and "religious" to better understand how human beings actively and thoughtfully engage with their worlds and make meaning. The artificial distinction between a self-conscious and critical "academic study of religion" and an ideological and authoritarian "religion," he argues, only obscures the phenomenon. Instead, Roberts calls on intellectuals to approach the field as a site of "encounter" and "response," illuminating the agency, creativity, and critical awareness of religious actors.
To respond to religion is to ask what religious behaviors and representations mean to us in our individual worlds, and scholars must confront questions of possibility and becoming that arise from testing their beliefs, imperatives, and practices. Roberts refers to the work of Hent de Vries, Eric Santner, and Stanley Cavell, each of whom exemplifies encounter and response in their writings as they traverse philosophy and religion to expose secular thinking to religious thought and practice. This approach highlights the resources religious discourse can offer to a fundamental reorientation of critical thought. In humanistic criticism after secularism, the lines separating the creative, the pious, and the critical themselves become the subject of question and experimentation.

The story of Samson and Delilah in Judges 16 has been studied and retold over the centuries by biblical interpreters, artists, musicians, filmmakers and writers. Within these scholarly and cultural retellings, Delilah is frequently fashioned as the quintessential femme fatale - the shamelessly seductive 'fatal woman' whose sexual treachery ultimately leads to Samson's downfall. Yet these ubiquitous portrayals of Delilah as femme fatale tend to eclipse the many other viable readings of her character that lie, underexplored, within the ambiguity-laden narrative of Judges 16 - interpretations that offer alternative and more sympathetic portrayals of her biblical persona.
In Reimagining Delilah's Afterlives as Femme Fatale, Caroline Blyth guides readers through an in-depth exploration of Delilah's afterlives as femme fatale in both biblical interpretation and popular culture, tracing the social and historical factors that may have inspired them. She then considers alternative afterlives for Delilah's character, using as inspiration both the Judges 16 narrative and a number of cultural texts which deconstruct traditional understandings of the femme fatale, thereby inviting readers to view this iconic biblical character in new and fascinating lights.

The Bible includes any number of "tyrannical texts" that have proved to be profoundly oppressive in the lives of many people. Among them are Pauline texts that have circumscribed the lives and ministries of women throughout Christian history. What are people who honor Scripture to do with such texts, and what does it mean to speak of biblical authority in their presence? In Encountering God in Tyrannical Texts, Frances Taylor Gench provides strategies for engaging such texts with integrity- that is, without dismissing them, whitewashing them, or acquiescing to them-and as potential sources of edification for the church. Gench also facilitates reflection on the nature and authority of Scripture.
Encountering God in Tyrannical Texts provides access to feminist scholarship that can inform preaching and teaching of problematic Pauline texts and encourages public engagement with them.

The question: 'Can you convince the reader Jesus is the
Son of God?' Neil Cullan McKinlay picks up the gauntlet thrown down by a friend seeking the definitive answer to a question which has tested theologians for centuries. One man claimed to be 'the way, the truth, and the life'. He was nailed to a cross and cried out in dying despair: 'My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?' Make no mistake: To understand precisely what happened here is to accept responsibility for your part in this. With this book, you will face a choice. Be careful what you wish for. The author - The answer: Neil Cullan McKinlay, is a Scots-Canadian who lives in Australia, where he is a chaplain in the Australian Defence Force. He is the author of 28 books, produced with his trademark touch of reducing elusive complexities to accessible simplicities. His path to Christ took him from his native Scotland to the harsh winters of Manitoba where he was given a book as a gift, the Bible. It was to be the gift of life. His ministry is characterised by the shipyard wit of his Scottish inheritance, and the robust thought conferred by the Reformation. Without ostentation and with Calvinist clarity, his work persists in turningeverything to the service of Christ; yet he claims no credit for it. 'Can you convince the reader Jesus is the Son of God?' he is asked. His answer is simple: 'Let me be up front. I don't believe that I am able to do so. Only God can do that. However, God uses means to convince people of things.'
This book is such an instrument.

Описание: What do Christian Churches say Islam is? What does the Church of England say Islam is? And, in the end, what space is there for genuine engagement with Islam? Richard Sudworth's unique study takes as its cue the question of political theology and brings this burgeoning area of debate into dialogue with Christian-Muslim relations and Anglican ecclesiology. The vexed subject of Christian-Muslim Relations provides the presenting arena to explore what political theologies enable the Church of England to engage with the diverse public square of the twenty-first century. Each chapter concludes with an Anecdotes from the Field (TM) section, setting themes from the chapter in the context of Richard Sudworth (TM)s own ministry within a Muslim majority parish.

Описание: Personal, experiential faith is seldom given a seat at the table of academic theology and biblical studies. David Crump, however, with the assistance of Soren Kierkegaard's religious philosophy, claims that "authentic understanding, and thus authentic Christian commitment, can only arise from the personal commitment that is faith." Examining the various biblical, historical, cultural, theological, and academic hurdles demanding a truly Kierkegaardian leap of faith before one can meet the resurrected Jesus, Crump's "Encountering Jesus, Encountering Scripture" provides a very insightful discussion of key New Testament texts and issues revealing how Truth is discovered only through the subjectivity of faith."
Do you wonder what it would be like to literally meet Jesus, face-to-face?
The women you'll meet inside this book came from all walks of life, with all kinds of problems, and all kinds of needs. They also had something else in common: They all met Jesus, and not in a figurative sense, but literally
Some already had deep faith, like Mary and Elizabeth. Their challenge was to live out their faith in a society of doubters. Some had physical problems like the hemorrhaging woman and the hunched over woman. They found in Jesus, health and a new life. Others were outcasts such as the woman at the well and the Canaanite woman. They found acceptance and a future with hope. The sinful woman had given up on God, but He hadn't given up on her
Do you see yourself in these women? Do you need more faith, or are you sick or feel like an outcast? When you read these poignant stories told in real-life color, you'll discover how Jesus offers you the same hope, purpose, and joy he offered 2,000 years ago. You'll feel like you've met Jesus for the first time

Описание: Our world is full of violence, with repeated acts of terrorism and generally rising rates of violent criminal acts as the most obvious forms of the phenomenon in the Western world. It even reached the peaceful shores of Norway in the summer of 2011. This was one of the reasons why the first international meeting of the Norwegian Summer Academy for Biblical Studies was devoted to the topic 'Violence as an Ethical Challenge in the Bible'. Eighteen biblical scholars from nine different countries (Joshua Berman, Lennart Bostr m, Friedmann Eissler, Torleif Elgvin, LarsOlov Eriksson, Karin Finsterbusch, Georg Fischer, Terence E. Fretheim, Hallvard Hagelia, Dana M. Harris, Robert L. Hubbard, Jr, rstein Justnes, Gordon McConville, Kirsten Nielsen, Tommy Wasserman, Karl William Weyde, Peter Wick and Markus Zehnder) met on the beautiful premises of Ansgar Theological Seminary to discuss some of the most fundamental aspects of the topic. The papers presented at the conference are collected in the present volume, dealing mostly with the Hebrew Bible, but covering also the New Testament, Jewish literature from the Second Temple period and the Qur'an. The contributions reflect a refreshing variety of scholarly and theological approaches. One of the fundamental questions addressed in several studies is how biblical texts justifying violence can be properly understood and used today. Other questions raised are how violent some of the often-criticized biblical passages really are and how violence can be overcome.
