Ardās of the Sikhs : A Distinctive Prayer /
:
This book, Ardās of the Sikhs , is an inclusive, yet discreet work on the subject. While acknowledging the universality of prayer and its efficacy, the author attends to this multisensate phenomenon in all its dimensions - historical, hermeneutical, psychological, philosophical etc. He does this with all deference to the various other extant spiritual disciplines. Ardās for the Sikhs is the way of life ordained by the Gurus. It is but another way of simran or Practising the Presence of God. It pithily condenses the cosmic glory, spiritual experiences and ethical values enshrined in the perennial holy Word of the Adi Granth. Profoundly expounding every phrase of the Ardās, the book has been considered a precious addition to the existing spiritual literature of the world. Its version in the Punjabi language had been described 'an all-time classic' by the Chief Editor of Encyclopaedia of Sikhism .

Interpreting quoted speech in prophetic literature : a study of Jeremiah 2.1-3.5 /
:
In Interpreting Quoted Speech , Samuel Hildebrandt analyzes the literary phenomenon of one speaker quoting the words of another speaker within prophetic discourse. Challenging approaches that categorize these speech quotations and use them as direct windows into Israel's past, Hildebrandt makes a compelling case for reading quoted speech in its literary context. He presents a substantial method for such an interpretive approach, demonstrates its value in a detailed analysis of Jeremiah 2.1-3.5, and highlights the significance of quoted phrases in Jeremiah and other prophetic texts. Interpreting Quoted Speech marks an important contribution to the exploration of Jeremiah's discourse and polyphony and, due to its accessible methodology and exegesis, offers a model for further research in prophetic literature.
