Brill's companion to Camus : Camus among the philosophers /
:
"It has become customary that scholarly works devoted to the study of Camus's philosophical thought begin with an apology. It is as if any treatment of this philosophy was still haunted by the necessity to protect the writer from overly critical opinions, stemming from the conviction that Camus was un philosophe pour classes terminales".

Creating resistances: pastoral care in a postcolonial world /
:
Multiple forms of oppression, injustice, and violence today have roots in histories of colonialism. This connection to the past feels familiar for some and less relevant for others. Understanding and responding to these connections is more crucial than ever, yet some resist rather than face this task directly. Others resist oppressive postcolonial conditions. Using intercultural stories and pastoral care scholarship, this book charts pathways through five resistances (not me, not here, not now, not relevant, not possible) to awaken creative pastoral care in a postcolonial world. McGarrah Sharp recommends practices that everyone can do: believing in each other, revisiting how histories are taught, imagining more passable futures, heeding prophetic poets, and crossing borders with healthy boundaries.

Irony in the Bible : Between Subversion and Innovation /
:
It is generally agreed that there is significant irony in the Bible. However, to date no work has been published in biblical scholarship that on the one hand includes interpretations of both Hebrew Bible and New Testament writings under the perspective of irony, and on the other hand offers a panorama of the approaches to the different types and functions of irony in biblical texts. The following volume: (1) reevaluates scholarly definitions of irony and the use of the term in biblical research; (2) builds on existing methods of interpretation of ironic texts; (3) offers judicious analyses of methodological approaches to irony in the Bible; and (4) develops fresh insights into biblical passages.

The alabaster sarcophagus of Oimenepthah I., King of Egypt : now in Sir John Soane's museum, Lincoln's Inn Fields /
:
Oimenepthah I, better known to us as Seti I, was regarded
as a great pharaoh by his contemporaries, although his son
Ramesses II would claim greater renown. Seti's tomb was
discovered by Belzoni in 1817 and was the first to be
found to have extensive decorations throughout. The huge
alabaster coffin found in the tomb was sold to Sir John
Soane, who held a three-day party upon its arrival at his
London house, where it can still be seen. Written by the
noted Egyptologist Samuel Sharpe (1799-1881), this
illustrated description of the intricately decorated
sarcophagus was published in 1864. By the time of his
death, Sharpe was regarded in Britain as one of the most
important figures in helping to popularise all things
Egyptian. With the artist and sculptor Joseph Bonomi (1796
-1878), who provided the drawings here, he collaborated in
organising the Egyptian court at the Crystal Palace in
1854.
