Christianity in Egypt : A History of the Coptic Orthodox And Evangelical Presbyterian Churches /
:
Drawing on primary sources as well as imminent scholars in the field, Parker has written a history of Christianity in Egypt that is scholarly and accessible. It challenges the common assumption that Egyptian Christianity is backward and irrelevant. Rather, as Parker writes in the preface, "the history of Egyptian Christianity presented in the pages to follow is of a people who enjoyed a brilliant golden age, suffered a long era of heartbreaking debilitation, and have now entered a period potentially breathtaking revival." It is a story worthy in its own right but also inspiring and instructive for the global church.

Theologising with the Sacred 'Prostitutes' of South India : Towards an Indecent Dalit Theology /
:
"In Theologising with the Sacred 'Prostitutes' of South India, Eve Rebecca Parker theologises with the Dalit women who from childhood have been dedicated to village goddesses and used as 'sacred' sex workers. Parker uses ethnographic, anthropological, theological, hermeneutical and historical research and analysis in order to critically engage with the lived religiosity and daily struggles of the dedicated women, known as devadāsīs. In doing so, she works towards an Indecent Dalit Liberation Theology that challenges systems of oppression and cultures of impunity, including casteism, sexism, classism and a history of socio-political and religious marginalisation. The result is a profound theologising of struggle and resistance with the sexual narratives of the oppressed"--

Codex Bezae : studies from the Lunel colloquium, June 1994 /
:
A group of biblical and patristic scholars and palaeographers met in Lunel, Herault, in June 1995 to discuss the many questions posed by Codex Bezae to our understanding of the use of the Gospels and Acts in early Christianity, and of the text of the New Testament. This collection makes the papers and debates of the colloquium available for a wider discussion. The papers cover two broad areas. The first addresses palaeographical questions. The second covers textual matters, subdivided between the Gospels and Acts. The 24 contributors include J.N. Birdsall, J. Irigoin, L. Holtz, B.D. Ehrman, M.W. Holmes, J.K. Elliott, J.M. Auwers and M.-É. Boismard. There is an introduction by the editors, who also provide analyses of each main section. The range of interests represented by the participants and by the papers has already stimulated fresh developments.

26 Years a Slave : Juan Miranda and Other "Spanish Negroes" in Colonial New York /
:
26 Years a Slave represents the inaugural book-length study of the little-known "Spanish Negroes," or non-white Spanish-speaking sailors enslaved in colonial North America. Bringing to light their history of slavery and resistance, the book tells the incredible story of the free-born Juan Miranda. Enslaved in New York, Miranda fights an arduous legal battle to win his freedom. His attorney, William Kempe, makes a strong case for his rights and against slavery based on skin color. This well-illustrated account touches on legal history, the War of Jenkins' Ear, and the so-called "Slave Plot" of 1741. 26 Years a Slave is not just a translation of the critically acclaimed publication 26 años de esclavitud but a revised enriched version, containing a selection of additional study cases. The original Spanish edition of this book received the following awards: Willi Paul Adams Award , Organization of American Historians , Bloomington, Indiana, USA (2023) Best Academic Themed Book , The 24th International Latino Book Awards , Gold medal, Los Angeles, USA (2022) The Victor Villaseñor Best Latino Focused Nonfiction Book Award - Spanish or Bilingua, The 24th International Latino Book Awards , Silver medal, Los Angeles, USA (2022) Best Biography - Spanish or Bilingual , The 24th International Latino Book Awards , Silver medal, Los Angeles, USA (2022)

Stilling the Storm : Contemporary Responses to Mark 4.35-5.1 /
:
Most books about Jesus and the Gospels deal with texts, background, culture and authorial intentions. A new approach to the Gospels called Practice Interpretation puts the emphasis on the actual happenings behind the Gospel stories - on what first hearers might have made of them, and on what contemporary disciples today make of them. The concern of the studies in this series is with the "use" of a Gospel story by disciples today, and of its "influence" on them. In this ground-breaking collection, the first in the Practice Interpretation series, people from many different situations describe what the story of Jesus Stilling the Storm actually "sparked off" in their lives.

John Lach's practical philosophy /
:
John Lachs (1934-) has been one of the most interesting American philosophers for nearly sixty years. His philosophical, educational, and public activity has been an attempt to show the relevance of philosophy to life. This is the first book dedicated to his thought. International scholars have proposed different themes in Lachs' philosophy, so as to present its enormous potential. Lachs' responses to his critics shows that dialogue with his critics is an inspirational activity for both sides. Lachs' way of philosophizing can be seen as exemplary for those who want to unify and present a clear and understandable articulation of moral and philosophical messages to everyone.
