Abraham, the nations, and the Hagarite s Jewish, Christian, and Islamic perspectives on kinship with Abraham /
:
Jews, Christians and Muslims describe their origins with close reference to the narrative of Abraham, including the complex story of Abraham's relation to Hagar. This volume sketches the history of interpretation of some of the key passages in this narrative, not least the verses which state that in Abraham all the nations of the earth will be blessed. This passage, which features prominently in Christian historiography, is largely disregarded in ancient Judaism, prompting the question how the relation between Abraham and the nations was perceived in Jewish sources. This focus is supplemented with the question how Islamic historiography relates to the Abraham narrative, and in particular to the descent of the Arabs from Abraham through Ishmael and Hagar. In studying the traditional readings of these narratives, the volume offers a detailed yet wide-ranging analysis of important aspects of the accounts of their origins which emerged within the three Abrahamic religions.

Faith and Ethnicity : Volume 1 /
:
In writing 'In Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek', the apostle Paul touched on a topic that still is hotly debated among christians today: the relationship between faith and ethnicity. The Reformed Churches, usually organised along regional or national lines, are no exception and wrestle world-wide with the issue. This volume offers Asian and African perspectives, especially exploring the Indonesian and South African context. This and the next volume of Studies in Reformed Theology contain contributions to the fourth international conference of the International Reformed Theological Institute (IRTI), held in Princeton, N.J., U.S.A. (2001), on the theme of Faith and Ethnicity.

The Dead Sea scrolls : texts and context /
:
This volume presents the proceedings of an international conference of the same title held at the University of Birmingham in 2007. The contributors are drawn from the ranks of leading international specialists in the field writing alongside promising younger scholars. The volume includes studies on the contribution of the Scrolls to Second Temple Jewish history, the archaeological context, the role of the temple and its priesthood, as well as treatments on selected texts and issues. These proceedings offer a timely and up to date assessment of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the material remains unearthed at Qumran in their wider context and not infrequently challenge prevailing lines of interpretation. Helen Jacobus has won the Sean Dever Memorial Prize with her contribution to this volume. Commenting on the Dever prize, Professor Carol Meyers of Duke University, North Carolina, said: "The judges thought highly of Helen's meticulous scholarship and careful presentation of the data in her discussion of the zodiac and its role in Jewish calendars."

Jef Last : Liedjes op de maat van de Rottan /
:
Jef Last (1898-1972), rond 1930 voorman van de proletarisch-revolutionaire literatuur in Nederland, schreef van 1927 tot 1934 een dertigtal gedichten waarin hij op de scherpst mogelijke wijze van leer trok tegen het Nederlandse imperialisme in Nederlands-Indië. Hij werd daarbij vooral geïnspireerd door de vervolging van de Indonesische communisten na de opstanden van 1936-1927, die gepaard ging met executies en massa internering in de Boven-Digoel, diep in het onherbergzame Nieuw-Guinea. Ook poogde hij de Nederlandse arbeiders te mobiliseren en hekelde hij de opstelling van de grote sociaal-democratische SDAP. Zowel naar aard als inhoud is deze poëzie, die in obscure bundeltjes en verspreide linkse periodieken verscheen, opmerkelijk. In een inleiding worden de grillige politieke omzwervingen-van SDAP via Trotzkistische bewegingen nar de Communistische Partij-van Jef Last in deze jaren beschreven, zijn poëtisch genre geanalyseerd en zijn plaats in de 'Indische poëzie' bepaald. Zo wort een marginaal, maar boeiend stukje literaire, politieke en Indische historie aan de onverdiende vergetelheid ontrukt en vastgelegd. De historicus dr. Harry Poeze (1947), hoofd van de KITLV Uitgeverij, verzamelde deze poëzie en schreef de inleiding.
