Much of the contemporary discussion of the Jesus tradition has focused on aspects of oral performance, storytelling, and social memory, on the premise that the practice of communal reading of written texts was a phenomenon documented no earlier than the second century CE. Brian J. Wright overturns the premise that communal reading of written texts was a phenomenon documented no earlier than the second century CE by examining evidence for its practice in the first century.

No book was more accessible or familiar to the American founders than the Bible, and no book was more frequently alluded to or quoted from in the political discourse of the age. How and for what purposes did the founding generation use the Bible? How did the Bible influence their political culture? Shedding new light on some of the most familiar rhetoric of the founding era, Daniel Dreisbach analyzes the founders' diverse use of scripture, ranging from the literary to the theological. He shows that they looked to the Bible for insights on human nature, civic virtue, political authority, and the rights and duties of citizens, as well as for political and legal models to emulate. They quoted scripture to authorize civil resistance, to invoke divine blessings for righteous nations, and to provide the language of liberty that would be appropriated by patriotic Americans. Reading the Bible with the Founding Fathers broaches the perennial question of whether the American founding was, to some extent, informed by religious--specifically Christian--ideas. In the sense that the founding generation were members of a biblically literate society that placed the Bible at the center of culture and discourse, the answer to that question is clearly "yes." Ignoring the Bible's influence on the founders, Dreisbach warns, produces a distorted image of the American political experiment, and of the concept of self-government on which America is built.

Joseph A. Marchal leads a group of scholars who are also experienced teachers in courses on Paul. More than a series of "how-to" essays in interpretation, each chapter in this volume shows how differences in starting point and interpretive decisions shape different ways of understanding Paul. Each teacher-scholar focuses on what a particular method brings to interpretation and applies that method to a text in Paul's letters, aiming not just at the beginning student but at the "tough choices" every teacher must make in balancing information with critical reflection.

Effective sermons and Bible talks require both knowledge of the Scriptures and the skill to communicate the message clearly. Seasoned with Salt teaches how to develop this communication skill by utilizing the three building blocks of public speaking: content, organization, and delivery. Topics addressed in this book include the character of the speaker, the selection of a topic, the process of persuasion, organizational patterns, introductions, verbal delivery and language, nonverbal delivery, and PowerPoint etiquette. This book is for both beginning speakers who want to learn the basics of presentational speaking and experienced speakers who would like to season their skills. The authors draw from their experiences as gospel preachers, collegiate speech teachers, and speech competitors to explain the principles and the practice of seasoned speech. Dr. Warner brings 50 years of classroom instruction and speech coaching to this book while Dr. Cummings infuses timeless Biblical principles with the latest communication theory.
