Critical spatial approaches particularly those informed by the scholarship of Lefebvre, Foucault, and Soja have significantly impacted biblical scholarship over the last twenty years. However, these spatial approaches have been limited due to the methodological challenges inherent in transposing the social-scientific approaches of the aforementioned scholars to the task of biblical interpretation. This volume adapts conceptual metaphor theory as a methodological bridge to address such constraints. The first half of the volume begins by surveying the field of critical spatiality in biblical studies, arguing for the need for fresh methodological development. Thereafter, the volume delineates a particular critical spatial approach, inspired by Lefebvre and Foucault, for which conceptual metaphor theory is proposed as a methodological bridge. The second half of the volume begins by proposing the Psalms of Ascents as a case study upon which the method could be applied. It is then argued that the proposed method if efficacious should provide insight on corpus"Zion theology" and its so-called pilgrimage character. Using the proposed method in conjunction with conventional historical-grammatical tools of poetic analysis, each psalm is analysed with regard to its metaphor and spatiality. The volume concludes that the case study demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed methods by allowing a rich reading of each psalm, especially by explicating the spatial narratives and/or spatial metaphorical conceptualisations that underlie each text, and providing fresh insight on the collection as a whole.This volume has been awarded the 2024 Rev. Dr Lien-Hwa Chow Memorial Foundations Outstanding Theological Research Book Award. This award is "to recognize and promote outstanding theological research and publications by Chinese scholars".

Helen sempre soube que seu relacionamento com o pai, Tonho, era turbulento e marcado por cicatrizes emocionais. Anos se passaram desde que ela optou por manter distancia dele, optando por uma vida longe das lembranças dolorosas do passado que a atormentam diariamente. Decidida a confrontar seu odio interno e cansada de noites mal dormidas e remedios excessivos para ansiedade, Helen convida o pai para um passeio de barco em alto mar para conversarem sobre o passado. Mas o que deveria ser uma jornada de reconciliaço se transforma em uma luta pela sobrevivencia quando ambos acordam no barco em meio a uma tempestade sem lembrar de como embarcaram ou onde esto, tornando-os prisioneiros. Enquanto lutam contra as ondas revoltas, segredos enterrados vem a tona. Helen descobre que ha mais misterios a bordo do que apenas a furia da natureza ou sua amnesia repentina. O radio do barco começa a receber mensagens de vozes familiares, enquanto o timo se recusa a movimentar-se, indo apenas em uma direço. Alem disso, garrafas de vidro chegam ate eles, contendo versos biblicos enigmaticos que parecem ter sido enviados por alguem com uma misso divina. Alternando entre o presente desesperador e o passado doloroso, a narrativa desvenda os abusos psicologicos que Helen sofreu nas mos de seu pai e sua jornada para encontrar amor e redenço ao lado de Jonas, seu marido, e em sua fe em Jesus Cristo. Confrontada com o passado e os desafios do presente, Helen precisa encontrar uma maneira de navegar pelas aguas revoltas de seu passado e presente para alcançar a paz interior e ultrapassar a barreira do odio para que alcance o perdo.

Meu objetivo com este livro sobre "O tempo significativo de Deus para nós", e como subtítulo "Buscar o tempo oportuno de Deus através dos exercícios Inacianos", mostrando que na Sagrada Escritura, revelaço do Deus transcendente, se abre e se fecha com noçes temporais: "No principio Deus criou o ceu e a terra" (Gn 1,1). "Sim, Eu venho em breve" (Ap 22,20 ). A manifestaço de Deus na Biblia no e tomada abstratamente, mas nas suas intervençes na terra que fazem da historia do mundo uma historia sagrada. E por isso que a revelaço biblica pode responder as questes religiosas que a consciencia humana, marcada pelo devir, se pe a respeito do tempo, ja que ela mesma e de estrutura historica . A pergunta dos apostolos tinha todo um significado cosmico, historico e teologico, pois, a concepço biblica e denominada pela ideia de que o tempo e ordenado por uma sucesso de acontecimentos esperados no devido tempo, identificados com o acontecimento associado a ele. Portanto, e necessario fazer uma hermeneutica biblica para compreender a relaço entre o acontecimento Jesus Cristo e o tempo humano. Partindo desta premissa, vejamos o que o sentido de tempo, dentro desta leitura, pode nos oferecer, pois o tempo, obra de Deus, serve de quadro para uma historia que nos diz respeito, abrindo uma gama de interpretaçes que apresentam o misterio da aço de Deus no mundo. Assim, a Sagrada Escritura demonstra todo este "metodo de Deus" de se fazer presente no mundo: cosmico, historico e espiritual. Pois Deus se revelou na historia do homem para se fazer presença na historia do homem. No seu devido tempo . E os Atos dos Apostolos ja apresentam indicios desse tempo pleno de revelaço de Deus. A novidade do Evangelho se fundamenta na mensagem de Jesus: "cumpriu-se o tempo e chegou o reino de Deus; convertei-vos e crede no evangelho". Esta e a afirmaço-chave, que consta de duas frases paralelas duplas, cada uma com duas partes, unidas por um "e". Como e usual em Marcos, a segunda serve para precisar o sentido da primeira: cumpriu-se o tempo "e" chega o reino (o reino define e da sentido ao tempo); convertei-vos "e" crede no evangelho (a fe da sentido a converso). Procuramos utilizar como metodologia a espiritualidade Inaciana, contemplativa na aço, segundo o livro dos Exercicios Espirituais de Santo Inacio de Loyola PARA REALIZAR A EXPERIENCIA DE ENCONTRO PESSOAL COM JESUS, NO EXERCICIO ESPIRITUAL DO DIA-A-DIA O autor saluar antonio magni e leigo da Igreja Catolica, formado em administraço, economia e possui curso superior de religio pela Arquidiocese de Aparecida. Atualmente e oficial reformado da Aeronautica. Alem de do ministerio da Palavra e coordenador Arquidiocesano da Liturgia da Arquidiocese de Aparecida e orientador e acompanhante dos exercicios espirituais de santo Inacio de Loyola.

For the New Testament writers, the Old Testament scriptures and the teachings of Jesus were key sources of authority and influence. When these influences are considered alongside each other, each can illuminate the other, deepening the New Testament writers presentation of Jesus and our understanding of their interpretations. In Jesus and Scripture, Tom Parker examines the way in which Hebrews, James, and 1 and 2 Peter deal with these two different sources of authority, how they relate to each other, and what shifts have occurred historically and theologically within the writing of these texts. Treating the four epistles methodologically, Parker examines the particular ways in which each writer draws on the Hebrew scriptures. Ultimately, he argues convincingly that the nascent Jesus tradition, particularly via oral routes, influenced the way the Old Testament was processed by these various New Testament writers.

Being responsive to God is at the heart of prophecy. But readers of ancient prophecies and apocalyptic literatureincluding those in the Old Testamentcan come away thoroughly perplexed. Are the prophets speaking about their own times, about our present, or about some still-unrealized future?Its common to study prophecy with a focus on the sole question of prediction and fulfillment, either for the sake of apologetics or for understanding the end times, but such an approach can fail to track with the original intent of the authors. We need to shake loose both from a paradigm of reading prophecy as an offer of mysterious divination as well as from the habit of constructing eschatological timelines of any sort. How do these books work as meaningful Scripture for Christians today?John Walton applies his signature method to help us recover the lost world of the prophets. To read these biblical books well, we must understand: the role of the prophet the nature of prophetic literature the theological significance of prophecy how apocalyptic differs from prophecy A fresh reading of the Old Testament text in light of the ancient Near Eastern context can open new avenues of awareness. Walton provides a clear, helpful guide to the nature of biblical prophecy and apocalyptic literature that will help readers avoid potential misuse and reclaim the message of the prophets for their lives.The books in the Lost World Series follow the pattern set by Bible scholar John H. Walton, bringing a fresh, close reading of the Hebrew text and knowledge of ancient Near Eastern literature to an accessible discussion of the biblical topic at hand using a series of logic-based propositions.
