Saint Paul and the Education Encounter: Lessons on Love, Event and Change

This book connects the Biblical Paul’s work as an educator with the revival of interest in Paul’s impact on contemporary social and cultural experience, sometimes referred to as ‘Paul’s new moment’. It presents Paul's letters as being the testament of an educator who brought a radical emancipatory approach to the communities with whom he lived and worked. The book draws on history, philosophy, New Testament studies, and social theory to present the case for Paul as the initiator of a pedagogy of the event. This book explores the concept of a pedagogy of the event, and provides a case study of success in its implementation.

Saint Paul in Britain

Saint Paul in Britain by R. W. Morgan presents a compelling and unconventional account of early Christianity, arguing that the Apostle Paul not only traveled to Britain but also played a key role in the Christianization of the British Isles. Written in the 19th century, Morgan’s work challenges traditional views of church history, offering a unique interpretation of Britain’s spiritual heritage.Drawing on ancient texts, folklore, and historical records, Morgan weaves together a narrative that suggests Christianity reached Britain much earlier than traditionally believed—before the mission of Augustine of Canterbury in 597 AD. He argues that Paul’s teachings had a lasting influence on the British Isles, shaping early Christian practices and beliefs long before the formal establishment of the Roman Catholic Church in Britain.Morgan explores connections between early Celtic Christianity and Pauline teachings, proposing that the faith practiced in Britain before Roman Catholic influence was distinct in character and closer to the simplicity of the apostolic church. He also discusses early British rulers who allegedly embraced Christianity, emphasizing the significance of these events in shaping the spiritual and cultural identity of Britain.Though Morgan’s theories remain controversial and are not widely accepted by mainstream historians, Saint Paul in Britain continues to intrigue readers interested in alternative histories and speculative religious scholarship. The book invites reflection on the origins of Christianity in Britain and encourages readers to reconsider the impact of lesser-known narratives within church history.For those drawn to the intersection of history, theology, and legend, Saint Paul in Britain offers a thought-provoking and imaginative exploration of the roots of British Christianity, challenging conventional assumptions about the spread of the faith and sparking curiosity about what may lie beyond the established historical record.

Salty Wives, Spirited Mothers, and Savvy Widows: Capable Women of Purpose and Persistence in Luke's Gospel

Engaging feminist hermeneutics and philosophy in addition to more traditional methods of biblical study, Salty Wives, Spirited Mothers, and Savvy Widows demonstrates and celebrates the remarkable capability and ingenuity of several women in the Gospel of Luke. While recent studies have exposed women's limited opportunities for ministry in Luke, Scott Spencer pulls the pendulum back from a negative feminist-critical pole toward a more constructive center. Granting that Luke sends somewhat "mixed messages" about women's work and status as Jesus' disciples, Spencer analyzes such women as Mary, Elizabeth, Joanna, Martha and Mary, and the infamous yet intriguing wife of Lot -- whom Jesus exhorts his followers to "remember" -- as well as the unrelentingly persistent women characters in Jesus' parables.

His famous icons, including the melting watches, double images, and everyday objects set in odd contexts, helped to define the way people view reality and encourage children to view the world in new ways. Dalí's controversial life is explored while children trace the roots of some familiar modern images. These wild and wonderful activities include making Man Ray-inspired solar prints, filming a Dali-esque dreamscape video, writing surrealist poetry, making collages, and assembling art with found objects.

Salvation to the Ends of the Earth: A Biblical Theology of Mission (New Studies in Biblical Theology #Volume 53)

Few biblical topics are as important as mission. Mission is linked inextricably to humanity's sinfulness and need for redemption and to God's provision of salvation in the person and work of Jesus Christ. This good news of salvation must be made known. The saving mission of Jesus constitutes the foundation for Christian mission, and the Christian gospel is its message. This second edition of New Studies in Biblical Theology volume Salvation to the Ends of the Earth emphasizes the way in which the Bible presents a continuing narrative of God's mission—ranging from the story of Israel to the story of Jesus and that of the early Christians. At the same time, it provides a robust historical and chronological backbone to the unfolding of the early Christian mission. The apostle Paul's writings and the General Epistles are incorporated with the Gospel with which they have the closest and most natural canonical and historical affinity. Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.
