Reading Matthew as the Climactic Fulfillment of the Hebrew Story
Author: Martin Spadaro
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498200680
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
This book is a reading of Matthew's Gospel as though it were written to integrate with, advance, and conclude the existing body of Scriptures. Matthew is read as though John was the last prophet of God and Israel's last chance for repentance, and that Jesus was YHWH who had come to judge the Temple, priesthood, and covenant nation according to the terms of the covenant God made with Moses at Sinai. Through this lens, new interpretations are given to the infancy narrative, the Sermon on the Mount, the mission, the parables, and Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem along with the events that followed. By reading Matthew this way, a greater appreciation can be gained for its necessary place in the canon, and many of Matthew's well-known conundrums can be meaningfully addressed. As a Hebrew document, Matthew understood the necessity to record the crimes against YHWH/Jesus in Israel and Jerusalem as the ultimate cause for the termination of the ethnically and geographically bound covenant, which could then be replaced by the cross-cultural and international covenant that Christians now enjoy.

Pages : 416
Book Description
Christiana Morgan was an erotic muse who influenced twentieth-century psychology and inspired its male creators, including C. G. Jung, who saw in her the quintessential "anima woman." Here Claire Douglas offers the first biography of this remarkable woman, exploring how Morgan yearned to express her genius yet sublimated it to spark not only Jung but also her own lover Henry A. Murray, a psychologist who with her help invented the thematic apperception test (TAT). Douglas recounts Morgan's own contributions to the study of emotions and feelings at the Harvard Psychological Clinic and vividly describes the analyst's turbulent life: her girlhood in a prominent Boston family; her difficult marriage; her intellectual awakening in postwar New York; her impassioned analysis with Jung, including her "visions" of a woman's heroic quest, many of which furthered his work on archetypes; her love affairs and experiences with sexual experimentation; her alcoholism; and, finally, her tragic death.

Book Description
Detective Sebastian Kessler lives and works within the towering metropolis of Dis, a toxic urban sprawl where every day is a battle for light, a fight for better air and a struggle to live. Within this urban tomb, Kessler tries to escape the daily grind through a drink and drug habit that has spiralled out of control, an addiction that gets him into serious trouble with local crime boss ‘Little Chi’. With work hard to come by and credits running low, Kessler is on the brink of despair when he is hired by Bethany Turner to investigate her uncle’s mysterious death. Soon the Council, the tyrannical rulers of Dis, are after him, citizens are mysteriously disappearing and a new, powerful drug is doing the rounds, all of which are connected to the Turner case. With the bodies of addicts piling up in skin labs and strange creatures emerging from the depths of the city, Kessler tracks down Doc Galloway, an old acquaintance, and forces him to help. Together they embark on an epic journey into the heart of the city where the detective not only has to deal with his own personal demons, but those that lurk within the darkness of Dis… Set in a bleak, distant future, City of Darkness combines the flawed hero of the 1950s film noir detective with a broken society where the remnants of humanity struggle to survive. The book touches on issues such as class, addiction and escaping reality as readers are taken on a journey down into the depths of a troubled city, with the age old appeal of science fiction and a crime and mystery story never far away.
