- Parish Clergy AwardIt's an exciting time to be reading the Bible. As we increasingly encounter readers with perspectives, experiences, and cultures different from our own, we can incorporate new ideas and approaches to interpreting Scripture. When diverse interpretations from various social locations are gathered together, we gain new vistas and a fuller image of the text.In Reading the Bible Around the World, a crosscultural team of scholars describes and workshops global readings in biblical interpretation, focusing on passages in both the Old and New Testaments. By presenting a range of readings from different regions and people groups, with particular attention to marginalized groups, the authors demonstrate the importance of contextually sensitive approaches. They help us build up key values for reading Scripture in the twenty-first century: self-awareness, other-awareness, and true dialogue.Who we are shapes how we read. Guided by these expert teachers, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the influence of their own social location and how to keep growing in biblical wisdom by reading alongside the global Christian community.
- Kurztext
- Some sins are unforgiveable...Every time the planets align Lucifer has a chance to break open the Gates of Hell. The only thing that stands in his way is the fallen angel warrior Kyriel. Banished to Earth, Kyriel must atone for his sins of pride, envy and lust. His entry back to heaven is dependent on him finding the Ring of Melchior - which is currently in possession of gorgeous Head Curator Dr Jillian Whitmore...Jillian has always considered herself immune to the charms of even the most irresistible of men. Afraid of her own desires she had hidden in her family's museum poring over ancient relics. Until she met the inscrutable Mr Smith. She feels an invisible pull to this mysterious man, but he is on a quest to uncover a missing artifact, one she had in her possession until it was stolen.Jillian and Kyriel must find the ring before the next planetary alignment or risk losing the world they call their own - as well as an illicit love they are just starting to discover....
