Book Description
The nuclear family is under siege as never before. With the dramatic increase in divorce, illegitimacy and single parenthood, we are witnessing the voluntary breakup of the minimal family unit on a massive scale. Meanwhile many people question whether marriage should be defined as a relationship between a man and a woman, and some are trying to sever the idea of marriage and procreation completely. Bestselling author William Bennett believes that we are engaging in a reckless and radical social experiment that, unless it is firmly resisted, will have calamitous consequences. In this strong and vigorous, but sophisticated and informed defense of the traditional nuclear family, Bennett argues that we urgently need to reestablish the idea of marriage as an arrangement between a man and a woman, monogamous and freely chosen, a place of sexual and emotional intimacy, affection and friendship. Marriage should be the institution through which children are conceived and born, loved and disciplined, nurtured and raised. And marital permanence must once again become normative, a high ideal, something to which people commit and strive to maintain. Bennett argues that we are willfully and frivolously casting aside one of our greatest historical achievements under the illusion that we can cheerfully deconstruct the traditional family and then one day decide to pull back from the brink. Having blithely tossed these precious things aside, we will find that we cannot so easily summon them back. Yet Bennett's book is not a jeremiad or a gloom-and-doom scenario but a positive affirmation of family life and an argument for why a certain traditional understanding of the family leads to greater humanflourishing and happiness.

Social Scientific Models for Interpreting the Bible
Author: John Pilch
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004496971
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
Fourteen members of The Context Group honor Bruce J. Malina and his scholarship in this volume by following his consistent example of developing or using explicit social scientific models to interpret documents from the ancient Mediterranean world. Ordinary features of that cultural world such as gossip, reciprocity, a pervasive military presence, the power of women, and becoming a follower of Jesus stand out with greater clarity in the Bible when a reader understands the cultural matrix in which such social dynamics function. These essays reflect The Context Group’s more than twenty years of collaborative experience in researching the cultural context of the Bible. New insights are built on the solidly established foundations of their earlier cross-cultural studies. Readers will find the individual essays enlightening and challenging. Taken as a whole they form a valuable resource and a stimulating and helpful aid to further study.

Bible in China
Author: JostOliver Zetzsche
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351573977
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
The Union Version, China's preeminent and most widely used translation of the Bible, had achieved the status of a sacred Chinese classic within the Chinese Church not long after its publication in 1919. Jost Zetzsche's monograph on this remarkable translation traces the historical and linguistic background that led to the decision to translate the Union Version, with detailed analyses of the translation efforts that preceeded it. Special attention is given to the cooperation and confrontation among Protestant denominations as well as the rising prominence of the Chinese translators as these groups attempted to form a cohesive translation of the Bible. This is set against the background of the development of the Chinese language during the 30-year translation process, both in the perception of the translators and in the country at large.

The Oxford Handbook of the Bible and the Reformation
Author: Jennifer Powell McNutt
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191067458
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 785
Book Description
During the Reformation of the sixteenth century, the role of the Bible in both Protestant and Roman Catholic branches of western Christianity was vital and complex. Drawing on new technologies such as movable type, this period saw extraordinary energy and enterprise put into the translation, interpretation, and publication of Christianity's sacred text. As a result, an increasingly broad section of the population, from scholars and clergy to laity and children, came to be involved in the reception of the Bible and its position in early modern religious expression. The Oxford Handbook of the Bible and the Reformation provides readers with a deeper understanding of the expansive history of the Bible as it was shaped, shared, and received across Christian traditions. Chapters explore the biblical canon, translation and print, the development of Reformation hermeneutics, the history of Bible commentators, and exegesis relating to key texts and theological themes of Reformation writing and discourse. Engaging the subject broadly, intricately, and robustly, the expertise of over fifty leading experts illuminates the early modern Bible's composition and position as scripture and, from the Renaissance era on, as a printed book. By including the contributions of radical reformers, Catholics, and women scholars, the Handbook presents a deep and wide-ranging account of the importance of the Bible's reach and authority among all western Christians.
