Explore the Enscripturation of Christian Identity Across History Every time we read the Bible, it invites us to find ourselves within its pages. When we do so, we do more than interpret ScriptureScripture interprets us. And it interprets us by naming us as we stand before the crucified and risen Lord.In Clothed in the Word, David Ney combines historical analysis and biblical hermeneutics to explore the ways in which Christians throughout church history have found themselves embodied or "enscripturated" in the stories of the Bible.Through meticulous examination of pivotal biblical figures, this scholarly yet accessible work reveals how people of faith across centuries have applied scriptural names and identities to themselves and their communities. Extending beyond individual identification, this practice creates a participatory experience that encompasses entire faith communities and speaks to their standing before God and in Christ.As the text of Scripture and the reader interact with one another, many Christians throughout history have identified with the experiences of biblical figures, clothing themselves with their names and roles as a way of understanding and living out their faith.Clothed in the Word explores numerous examples like these from throughout Christian history: In the New Testament, John the Baptist is identified with Elijah the prophet. In ancient Christianity, believers often portrayed themselves as Paul the athlete who endured to the end, as they, too, persevered under trial. In the Middle Ages, Hildegard of Bingen saw herself as the Blessed Virgin Mary, not merely identifying with her but literally living out her life as a consecrated virgin. During the Reformation, several figures viewed themselves as Abel, appealing to God on behalf of their enemies, whom they identified as Cain. In recent years, Harriet Tubman famously understood herself to be a Moses figure commissioned by God to lead her people to a Promised Land. Perfect for church history courses, seminary education, and advanced undergraduate religious studies, this work offers professors, students, and interested lay readers perceptive insights on how Scripture continues to shape Christian identity across time and culture.Through this study of how the saints of history have enscripturated the saints of Scripture, Ney invites us to interpret our own lives in light of the stories of Scripture, thus clothing ourselves in the garments of the Word and discovering anew that the Bible is the Book of Life.

A Sacred Invitation to Dwell in the Transformative Mystery of the Cross Many faithful Christians find themselves wrestling with their understanding of the atonement, Christs work on the cross to reconcile us with God. Some struggle with inherited theologies that emphasize wrath, violence, and transaction; some have grown numb to the cross altogether.At Home with God offers a refreshing alternative: a spacious, imaginative pilgrimage that invites you into the mystery of the atonement and the many ways it reveals Gods love.In this contemplative and accessible book, pastor Jason G. Edwards presents a creative framework for understanding Christs work on the cross by taking you on a poetic journey through the many rooms of a house. With each chapter presenting a new room that uniquely explains how the cross transforms discipleship, At Home with God invites you to embrace the multidimensional beauty of Christs love.The journey begins at the front door, where you are welcomed into a dwelling shaped by grace. You pass through a library where broken stories are rewritten and enter a dining room set for liberation. As you move from room to room, you are immersed in the mystery and depth of salvation. It is the restoration of what was lost, the renewal of a creation long groaning for healing, and the quiet wonder of homecoming.What youll find in At Home with God: A comprehensive yet accessible exploration of redemption, with each room in this spiritual house offering a unique lens on Christs atonement Scriptural grounding complemented by insights from theological voices from throughout church history A prayer and poem to conclude each chapter, inviting you into deeper spiritual reflection A contemplative resource with an included discussion guide perfect for personal spiritual growth, small group study, or Lenten reading With At Home with God, discover how the atonement is far more than a theological puzzle to solve; its a path to walk and a mystery to inhabit. For those who carry questions, for those seeking healing, and for those longing to be rooted in something true, this book invites you into a sacred dwelling where justice and mercy meet, a space where sorrow is held, love is poured, and God makes room for us all.

An account of the poet authors love affair with Dutch art, and the consolations and ecstasies of the objects we gather on our way through life. We begin standing in the Met in front of a painting by Jan Davidsz de Heem: Still Life with Oysters and Lemon. Looking almost more closely than we can bear at this image from the 17th century, Doty attempts to tell us everything it holds, from pigments to forms, and above all, meaning.This confrontation with beauty is one of many that shapes his life, from the pinwheel peppermints that emerge from his grandmas purse in his Tennessee childhood to the cracked china platter that graces the mantelpiece in the home he shares with his dying husband. But it is Dutch still-life painting that seems to have the most to tell him. This book is his record of years spent looking closely at bunched asparagus, translucent wine glasses, curling lemon peel and the bloom on grapes.In a brief, lucid, powerfully concentrated narrative, which tells the story of a life of self-discovery and an avid gaze, Mark Doty writes with poetic specificity and painterly clarity. In his loving description of reality, we begin to see that simply looking can be the most tender reverence.

In 1933, Gertrude Stein published her groundbreaking memoir The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, which gained her instant celebrity. The following year she was invited to return to the United States for the first time since she left for France in 1903, to give a series of lectures on art and literature. Newly famous, Stein delivered her lectures, which double as a manifesto for her own, notoriously difficult work, to packed audiences at universities, galleries, members clubs and public spaces up and down the country. The lectures are vital and provocative works which articulate the legendary writers thoughts on the effect of modernism on literary form, the relationship between narrative and history, and between a writer, their work and its audience. In her trademark style she meditates on the creative possibilities of repetition, as well as her ambivalence toward her own literary fame and the destabilizing effect that notoriety had on her daily life. Listen to Me brings Steins sparklingly witty, illuminating lectures together in one volume for the first time, selected and introduced by her acclaimed biographer, Francesca Wade.

French poet, essayist, art critic and translator Charles Baudelaire inaugurated a new era in world literature - indeed, he coined the term modernity. This fresh translation of his best poetry, by eminent translator, poet, and novelist Philip Terry, lays bare the richness and the long afterlife of Baudelaires verse, and brings out all the originality of his ideas.Here, in lushly visual and sonorous verse, we find themes that still preoccupy us today. Baudelaire captured life in the city like no one else, drawing a portrait of Paris as the ultimate glittering seductress - and also as a fragmented landscape peopled by isolated individuals. As much as an urban eyewitness, he was an incisive personal poet, vividly evoking the ebb and flow of desire: the joy of fulfilling it, the agony of feeling, and even worse, not feeling it. Terrys bold, contemporary translation style makes clear why Baudelaire, a century and a half after his death, is still the painter of modern life.
