Описание: An examination of the relationship between the Davidic covenant and Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants reflected in the editorial shape and shaping of the Masoretic Psalter. Hensley proposes that the editors of the Psalter understood these covenants as a theological unity, whose common fulfilment centres on an anticipated royal successor to David. To test this hypothesis Hensley examines the Psalter's references and allusions to covenant(s) in light of editorial evidence.
The book is split into three parts. Part I reassesses different kinds of editorial evidence, their implications, and their utility for discerning editorial intent. It also re-evaluates the Qumran Psalms Hypothesis championed by Sanders, Wilson, and others. Part II engages in extensive survey work on references and allusions to covenant(s) in the Psalter, assessing the extent to which they gravitate around David. Hensley traces phraseological and intertextual allusions to covenant promises and obligations, providing the first survey of its kind on the subject of covenant in the Psalter. Part III then investigates a strong allusion to the Abrahamic covenantal promises in Ps 72:17 in the context of Book II of the Psalter, and the Psalter's fullest echoes of the "grace formula+? (Exod 34:6) in Psalm 86:15, 103:8, and 145:8 in the contexts of Books III, IV, and V respectively.
Hensley shows that rather than the Davidic covenantal promises being "democratized, +? the promises and obligations of the pre-monarchic covenants are consistently "royalized+? throughout the Psalter and its books, depicting the anticipated Davidic figure as a Moses-like intercessor and mediator of covenant renewal, and the leader of a "new song+? for a "new exodus.+?

Описание:
In both metaphorical and brutely chemical senses, the atmosphere we breathe today is the atmosphere of the British Empire. Fired by coal and bent on remaking the world in its own image, Victorian England was history's first industrial society and its most powerful global empire. Ecological Form coordinates those facts to show how one version of the Anthropocene first emerged into visibility in the nineteenth century.
These eleven new essays by leading voices in nineteenth century ecocriticism suture the lingering divide between postcolonial and ecocritical approaches to show how Victorian thinkers used aesthetic form to engage problems of system, interconnection, and dispossession that remain our own. Using what the editors describe as "ecological formalism," these sharply-written interventions open new dimensions to our understanding of the Age of Coal. They reconsider Victorian literary structures in light of environmental catastrophe; coordinate "natural" questions with sociopolitical ones; and underscore the category of form--as built structure, internal organizing logic, and generic code--as a means for generating environmental and therefore political knowledge.
Moving from the elegy and the industrial novel to the utopian romance, the scientific treatise, and beyond, the contributors renovate our understanding of the era's major forms and key writers, including Thomas Hardy, George Eliot, John Ruskin, and Joseph Conrad. But they also show how less celebrated figures such as Dinabandhu Mitra, Samuel Butler, and Joseph Dalton Hooker speak to the never more pressing question of how to imagine interconnection at world scale. Ecological Form shows how nineteenth century thinkers conceived of the circuits of extraction and violence linking Britain to its global network. But its most pressing argument is that this past thought can be a resource for reimagining the present.

Описание:
When Decklan wakes up with all of the symptoms of a classic hangover, he discovers his mind is completely hazy when he tries to recollect the previous night's events. Scowling in pain and angst, he figures some aspirin and a nap might be the prescription for a cure. It is only after a brief nap that he wakes up to discover Kyle, his best friend, apparently suffering from his own ailments, passed out in his car.
But Kyle isn't passed out. He's dead.
Completely shocked and grief-stricken, Decklan goes to the police, only to be pummeled down with questions, making it seem like he has become a suspect. After all, he was the last person to see Kyle alive.
How will he face anyone? Do the closest people in his life suspect him as well?
That's when the threats start.
A Deck of Fifty One reminds us that sometimes we can know someone... but not really know them.
