Faith, Obedience, and Perseverance : Aspects of Paul's Letter to the Romans (9783161462696)



This book explores the interlocking themes of faith, obedience, and perseverance in the letter to the Romans. Garlington argues that Paul's phrase "the obedience of faith" is designed to say two things at the same time: that is, an obedience which consists in faith and which is the outgrowth of faith's commitment to Jesus Christ. "The obedience of faith" thus articulates in the perserverance of the believer.
The author reflects on Rom 2:22's allegation of disobedience ("sacrilege") on the part of Israel; he also examines Rom 2:13: only "the doers of the law" will be justified in eschatological judgement. An exegesis of Rom 7:14-25 approaches "the obedience of faith" from the angle of the Christian's experience of the onslaught of the powers of this "present evil age". The ideals of the "age to come" are seen to be tempered by the realism of this period of overlapping aeons.

Religion and the Decline of Magic : Studies in Popular Beliefs in Sixteenth and Seventeenth-Century England (9780140137446)

Image
Witchcraft, astrology, divination and every kind of popular magic flourished in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, from the belief that a blessed amulet could prevent the assaults of the Devil to the use of the same charms to recover stolen goods. At the same time the Protestant Reformation attempted to take the magic out of religion, and scientists were developing new explanations of the universe. Keith Thomas's classic analysis of beliefs held on every level of English society begins with the collapse of the medieval Church and ends with the changing intellectual atmosphere around 1700, when science and rationalism began to challenge the older systems of belief.

The Archaeology of Food : Identity, Politics, and Ideology in the Prehistoric and Historic Past (9781108464062)

Image
The Archaeology of Food explains how archaeologists reconstruct what people ate, and how such reconstructions reveal ancient political struggles, religious practices, ethnic identities, gender norms, and more. Balancing deep research with accessible writing, Katheryn Twiss familiarizes readers with archaeological data, methods, and intellectual approaches as they explore topics ranging from urban commerce to military provisioning to ritual feasting. Along the way, Twiss examines a range of primary evidence, including Roman bars, Aztec statues, Philistine pig remains, Nubian cooking pots, Mississippian squash seeds, and the bones of a medieval king. Her book introduces both archaeologists and non-archaeologists to the study of prehistoric and historic foodways, and illuminates how those foodways shaped and were shaped by past cultures.
