The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach about Jesus's Final Days in Jerusalem
By John Dominic Crossan, Marcus J. Borg. 2006
König, Weiser, Liebhaber und Skeptiker: Rezeptionen Salomos (Studien zu Literatur und Religion / Studies on Literature and Religion #4)
By Susanne Gillmayr-Bucher, Elena Deinhammer, Antonia Krainer, Imelda Rohrbacher. 2022
Kaum eine andere biblische Figur wird so enthusiastisch geschildert wie König Salomo. Er ist unvergleichlich weise, erbaut den Tempel in…
Jerusalem, und er verhilft auch seinem Volk zu einem Leben in Frieden und Wohlstand. Dennoch scheitert Salomo und erfüllt die in ihn gesetzten Erwartungen letztendlich nicht. Dadurch entsteht ein ambivalentes Bild, das innerhalb des biblischen Kanons und in der späteren Rezeptionsgeschichte vielfältig ausgestaltet wird. Wie facettenreich die Figur Salomos vom 16. bis 21. Jahrhundert in Literatur und Musik entfaltet wird, zeigt dieser Band auf. Die Beiträge im ersten Teil bieten überblicksartige Querschnitten, die Salomo als König, Weisen, Skeptiker und Liebenden in den künstlerischen Bearbeitungen präsentieren. Die Studien im zweiten Teil zeigen am Beispiel ausgewählter Werke, welche Diskurse der jeweiligen Zeit in der Figur König Salomos gespiegelt werden.And God Spoke to Abraham: Preaching from the Old Testament
By Fleming Rutledge. 2011
Sixty superlative sermons on familiar Old Testament texts. Many Christian preachers today largely neglect the Old Testament in their sermons,…
focusing instead on the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ teachings and activities. As Fleming Rutledge points out, however, when the New Testament is disconnected from the context of the Old Testament, it is like a house with no foundation, a plant with no roots, or a pump with no well. In this powerful collection of sixty sermons on the Old Testament, Rutledge expounds on a number of familiar Old Testament passages featuring Abraham, Samuel, David, Elijah, Job, Jonah, and many other larger-than-life figures. Applying these texts to contemporary life and Christian theology, she highlights the ways in which their multivocal messages can be heard in all their diversity while still proclaiming univocally, “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.”No más dieta: Por qué las dietas «milagrosas» no funcionan o cómo aprender a comer saludableme

para perder peso Dietas para esculpir el cuerpo Dietas para recuperar la juventud ¿Hay dietas para comer bien? En el mundo actual, la creciente preocupación por el comer sano choca de frente con un estilo de vida que se caracteriza por la acuciante falta de tiempo. Esto ha abonado el terreno para la aparición de infinidad de dietas «milagrosas» que, en la mayoría de los casos, no pasan de ser un simple fraude. El prestigioso dietista-nutricionista Julio Basulto, con la colaboración de María José Mateo, desmonta los mitos de las dietas rápidas con una sólida base científica, y nos propone unas pautas para una alimentación sensata, acompañadas de una serie de recomendaciones sobre cómo perder peso de forma saludable.More than 125 detoxifying and hormone-healing recipes to reduce the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, from the bestselling author of…
The Hormone Fix and Keto-Green 16 &“Dr. Cabeca shows us how to take charge of our health in midlife, using the power of food to start feeling better—and find optimal weight, improved mood and more energy along the way!&”—Izabella Wentz, PharmD, New York Times bestselling author of Hashimoto&’s Protocol A major hormonal shift in every woman&’s life, menopause heralds a time of new freedoms, potential, and empowerment. But this necessary shift often also brings with it uncomfortable symptoms like brain fog, reduced libido, joint pain, constipation, and hot flashes. And even while eating and exercising as usual, most menopausal women also experience frustrating weight gain—in and of itself a symptom that can make the other symptoms worse. We seldom make the connection between what we eat and how it affects our hormones. But food is a direct hormone regulator, so when hormones shift, we must shift as well. Choosing ingredients wisely is the best way to reduce all your symptoms, including that frustrating weight gain. Drawing inspiration from the cuisines of countries where women experience fewer menopausal symptoms, Dr. Anna Cabeca offers five unique, six-day eating plans that put a &“pause&” on the use of symptom-exacerbating ingredients. Depending on your health goals and the symptoms you&’re experiencing, choose from these five plans: • The Keto-Green Extreme Plan pauses inflammatory foods but includes stomach-soothing alkaline ingredients for an overall reduction in menopause symptoms. • Keto-Green Plant-Based Detox pauses animal proteins to stoke your fat-burning metabolism, ease hot flashes, and reduce brain fog. • The Carbohydrate Pause puts a temporary pause on all carbohydrates and sugar to help you break through a weight loss plateau, sleep better, and combat bloating. • The Keto-Green Cleanse briefly pauses solids to gently restore and energize you at the cellular level, leading to greater energy, less joint pain, and less constipation. • The Carbohydrate Modification Plan is the perfect feasting plan, allowing for the reintroduction of healthy but gluten-free carbohydrates to reduce restriction fatigue and maintain metabolic flexibility. With more than 125 delicious recipes—many of which fit more than just one eating plan—MenuPause is your guide to a more comfortable menopausal transition, and ensures you won&’t go hungry in the process!Restoring the Kinship Worldview: Indigenous Voices Introduce 28 Precepts for Rebalancing Life on Planet Earth
By Darcia Narvaez, Wahinkpe Topa. 2022
Selected speeches from Indigenous leaders around the world--necessary wisdom for our times, nourishment for our collective, and a path away…
from extinction toward a sustainable, interconnected future.Indigenous worldviews, and the knowledge they confer, are critical for human survival and the wellbeing of future generations. Editors Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows) and Darcia Narvaez present 28 powerful excerpted passages from Indigenous leaders, including Mourning Dove, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Winona LaDuke, and Xiuhtezcatl Martinez. Accompanied by the editors&’ own analyses, each chapter reflects the wisdom of Indigenous worldview precepts like: • Egalitarian rule versus hierarchical governance • A fearless trust in the universe, instead of a fear-based culture • The life-sustaining role of ceremony • Emphasizing generosity and the greater good instead of pursuing selfish goals and for personal gain • The laws of nature as the highest rules for living The editors emphasize our deep need to move away from the dominant Western paradigm--one that dictates we live without strong social purpose, fails to honor the earth as sacred, leads with the head while ignoring the heart, and places individual &“rights&” over collective responsibility. Restoring the Kinship Worldview is rooted in an Indigenous vision and strong social purpose that sees all life forms as sacred and sentient--that honors the wisdom of the heart, and grants equal standing to rights and responsibilities. Inviting readers into a world-sense that expands beyond perceiving and conceiving to experiencing and being, Restoring the Kinship Worldview is a salve for our times, a nourishment for our collective, and a holistic orientation that will lead us away from extinction toward an integrated, sustainable future.Exodus: Stop Walking in Circles (InScribed Collection)

By Eugene H. Peterson. 2007
Following his "Eat This Book" as the third of a five-volume series on spiritual theology, Eugene Peterson continues his theological…
conversation with the church in "The Jesus Way." Here he considers all the ways that Jesus is the Way compared to the distorted ways the modern American church has chosen to follow. Arguing that the way Jesus leads and the way that we follow are symbiotic, Peterson begins with an extensive study of how the ways of those who came before Christ -- Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, Isaiah of Jerusalem, and Isaiah of the Exile -- revealed and prepared the "way of the Lord" that became complete in Jesus. He then challenges the ways of the contemporary American church, showing in stark relief how what we have chosen to focus on -- consumerism, celebrity, charisma, and so on -- obliterates what is unique in the Jesus way. A stunning analysis of the gap between the personal Jesus and the impersonal modern church, "The Jesus Way: A Conversation on the Ways That Jesus Is the Way" is sure to engender debate and to inspire a movement back to the true way of Christ.The Whole Food Pregnancy Plan: Eat Clean & Feel Good with Complete Nutrition
By Aimee Aristotelous. 2022
Get both mama and baby on track for a healthy, happy, and delicious life! We all know that "you are…
what you eat." And once you conceive, your baby is what you eat as well—prenatal health and nutrition during pregnancy is so imperative! The US is one of only eight countries in the world where the rate of mortality for pregnant women is on the rise, and obesity is one of the primary causes of this phenomenon—half of all pregnant women are considered overweight. Widely accepted, doctor- and dietitian-prescribed nutrition guidelines actually may be contributing to the growing obesity and gestational diabetes epidemics. Newly expectant mothers receive a packet of health information from their doctors, including a nutrition pamphlet, which proscribes a daily food regimen with 100 grams of sugar per day—the amount of sugar in 10 glazed donuts! Aimee has developed a comprehensive nutrition guide that helps expecting and postpartum women achieve ideal health and weight during pregnancy and beyond. Implementing philosophies of current, highly-effective gluten-free nutrition trends that have not been fully introduced to the prenatal and postpartum populations, The Whole Pregnancy offers a detailed dietary regimen that is based on whole and unprocessed foods, low-glycemic carbohydrates, quality proteins, and essential fats. Developed by a certified nutritionist, the meal-planning system presents a variety of simple, delicious recipes to benefit mother and baby. It also provides special instruction for each stage of pregnancy, including the first, second, and third trimesters, as well as the &“fourth trimester&” of postpartum weight loss and nursing.What Every Woman Needs to Know About Her Gut: The FLAT GUT Diet Plan

By Susan Ackerman. 2022
A synthetic reconstruction of women&’s religious engagement and experiences in preexilic Israel &“This monumental book examines a wealth of data…
from the Bible, archaeology, and ancient Near Eastern texts and iconography to provide a clear, comprehensive, and compelling analysis of women&’s religious lives in preexilic times.&”—Carol Meyers, Duke University Throughout the biblical narrative, ancient Israelite religious life is dominated by male actors. When women appear, they are often seen only on the periphery: as tangential, accidental, or passive participants. However, despite their absence from the written record, they were often deeply involved in religious practice and ritual observance. In this new volume, Susan Ackerman presents a comprehensive account of ancient Israelite women&’s religious lives and experiences. She examines the various sites of their practice, including household shrines, regional sanctuaries, and national temples; the calendar of religious rituals that women observed on a weekly, monthly, and yearly basis; and their special roles in religious settings. Drawing on texts, archaeology, and material culture, and documenting the distinctions between Israelite women&’s experiences and those of their male counterparts, Ackerman reconstructs an essential picture of women&’s lived religion in ancient Israelite culture.40 Questions About Arminianism (40 Questions series)

By C. Hassell Bullock. 2018
According to author Hassell Bullock, "No collection of poems has ever exercised as much influence on the Western world as…
the Book of Psalms." The attraction for Jews, Christians, as well as nonbelievers is surely the personal element that pervades these poems, which describe the human situation in all its complexity. Though the Psalms are perhaps the most familiar portion of the Hebrew Bible, they are also among the most difficult to interpret. As a result, Bullock has created this guide to introduce students to the study and interpretation of the Psalms.
