Beschreibung

Euphrates River History explores the profound influence of the Euphrates River on the development of Mesopotamian civilization, biblical narratives, and religious thought in the Ancient Near East. The book argues that the river was not just a geographical feature but a vital artery for agriculture, trade, and societal structures, deeply shaping early civilizations and religious beliefs.

 
The Euphrates' significance is highlighted by its mention as one of the four rivers of Eden in Genesis and its prominent role in Mesopotamian mythology, where it was both a life-giving source and a destructive force.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with the river's geography and ecology, then examining its role in agriculture, urban growth, and trade networks. It explores the river's presence in the Old Testament and its symbolic meanings, before delving into its place in Mesopotamian mythology and religious rituals.

 
Drawing on archaeological evidence, ancient texts like the Epic of Gilgamesh, and comparative studies, Euphrates River History offers a holistic view, integrating biblical narratives with historical and archaeological findings to contextualize the river's religious significance within its environmental and cultural context.

Honor Patronage Kinship & Purity...

David A. deSilva

For contemporary Western readers, it can be easy to miss or misread cultural nuances in the New Testament. To hear the text correctly we must be attuned to its original context. As David deSilva demonstrates, keys to interpretation are found in paying attention to four essential cultural themes: honor and shame, patronage and reciprocity, kinship and family, and purity and pollution.
Through our understanding of honor and shame in the Mediterranean world, we gain new appreciation for how early Christians sustained commitment to a distinctive Christian identity and practice. By examining the protocols of patronage and reciprocity, we grasp more firmly the connections between God's grace and our response. In exploring kinship and household relations, we grasp more fully the ethos of the early Christian communities as a new family brought together by God. And by investigating the notions of purity and pollution along with their associated practices, we realize how the ancient map of society and the world was revised by the power of the gospel.
This new edition is thoroughly revised and expanded with up-to-date scholarship. A milestone work in the study of New Testament cultural backgrounds, Honor, Patronage, Kinship, and Purity offers a deeper appreciation of the New Testament, the gospel, and Christian discipleship.

J.C. Ryle

How much religion among many members of churches consists of nothing but church rituals! They belong to their church. They are baptized, married, buried in at the church, and preached to on Sundays by her ministers, but the great doctrines of truth have no place in their hearts and only a little influence on their lives. Is the religion of these people real Christianity? No, it is Churchianity – and nothing more!If your religion is real and has been given by the Holy Spirit, it must be in your heart. It must sway the affections. It must lead the will. It must direct the tastes. It must influence the choices and decisions. It must fill the deepest, lowest, inmost seat in your soul. Is this your Christianity?Real Christianity will cause a person to glory in Christ as the Redeemer, the Deliverer, the Priest, and the Friend – without whom he would have no hope at all. It will produce confidence in Him, love toward Him, delight in Him, and comfort in Him as the Mediator, the Food, the Light, the Life, and the Peace of the soul. This Christianity will produce in the person who has it repentance, faith, hope, love, humility, spirituality, kindness, self-denial, unselfishness, forgiveness, temperance, truthfulness, brotherly kindness, patience, and forbearance. Is this your religion?
