Renowned biblical scholar Richard Bauckham believes that the New Testament texts cannot be adequately understood without careful attention to their Judaic and Second Temple roots. This book contains twenty-four studies that shed essential light on the religious and biblical-interpretive matrix from which early Christianity emerged. Bauckham discusses the "parting of the ways" between early Judaism and early Christianity and the relevance of early Jewish literature for the study of the New Testament. He also explores specific aspects or texts of early Christianity by relating them to their early Jewish context. Originally published by Mohr Siebeck; this book is now available as an affordable North American paperback edition.

Brings the wisdom; spirituality and humor of Lincoln to everyday life.By Mike in Miami; FLA very insightful devotional with dozens of stories from Lincoln's life; quotes from or about him and insights into how to apply his wisdom and spirituality to life's problems. It is layed out in a 5 day week format; not daily; but I found that actually keeps Lincoln's homespun approach fresh; each work day I have something new to refresh me. If you like stories about Lincoln; his humility; sense of humor and spirituality you will probably treasure this book like I do.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. InspiringBy K. MarcinekThis was a gift to an avid Civil War and Abraham Lincoln enthusiast. I asked him his opinion; and he said the book is inspiring.Although Abraham Lincoln never chose a religious affiliation; his life was very much influenced by God and the Bible.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
