The Old Testament in the New Testament: Essays in Honour of J.L. North (The Library of New Testament Studies #189)
by Steve MoyiseThis collection of papers from members of the 'Use of the Old Testament in the New Testament' seminar (held at St Deinid's, Hawarden, Wales) has been commissioned to honour its retiring chairperson, J.L. North. It includes contributions by Michael Goulder (Isaiah 61), Joel Marcus (Matthew), Maurice Casey (Christology), George Brooke (Parables), Judith Lieu (John), Peter Doble (Acts), Morna Hooker (Philippians), John O'Neill (Galatians), Ivor Jones (2 Thessalonians), Martin Menken (Matthew) and Steve Moyise (Intertextuality). BLURB AS REWRITTEN BY PRD 11 JANUARY 2000: It is well known, but not always appreciated that the 'Bible' of the earliest Christians was the Old Testament. How did the New Testament writers justify their faith in the risen Messiah from these Jewish scriptures? In this book, distinguished biblical scholars supply answers to these questions, both in general terms and from specific examples. Under review come individual New Testament writers (Matthew, Paul, John) and important themes (the Anointed One, monogamy and divorce), while crucial passages such as John 11, Isaiah 66 and Revelation 12 are put under the microscope. This collection demonstrates the ingenuity and vitality of early Christian scriptural exegesis, and offers the reader an up to date picture of the most recent research in one of the central issues of New Testament literary and theological study.

Tucker contains sections on the Torah, the Prophets, Writings, and the Context of the books of the Old Testament. The parts work in conjunction to give the reader a guide to the key issues in the history of interpretation of the Old Testament.
Old Testament Theology in Outline
by Walther ZimmerliDuring the period that the Old Testament came into being, Israel, from who whose world the documents contained in the Old Testament derive, underwent many changes, especially in its sociological structures. Such changes produce changes in liturgical life, resulting finally in the elimination of a multiplicity of sanctuaries and focusing on Jerusalem.Walther Zimmerli suggests that a presentation of Old Testament theology cannot close its eyes to all this movement and change. This classic study expertly outlines the essential religious structures and tensions of the Old Testament.
The Old Testament World
by Philip R. Davies John W. RogersonWritten by two leading Old Testament scholars with a wide range of expertise, this unique introduction describes the historical, social and cultural setting in which the Old Testament was written and a description of the major genres of literature that it contains. It seeks therefore to illuminate the literature of the Old Testament by showing how it was shaped by the events, social structures, and religions and intellectual ideas of the ancient civilizations and cultures in which it was produced.Unlike most Introductions, it does not build largely on the traditional formats. It also reflects the huge changes that our understanding of the Old Testament has undergone in the recent decadesRather than a conventional canonical-theological approach, the book offers an approach for those interested in the Old Testament as a monumental cultural achievement, ideal for students of ancient history and religion in general as well as theology, and requires a minimum of prior knowledge or expertise.
Older and Wiser: New Ideas For Youth Mentoring In The 21st Century
by Jean E. RhodesYouth mentoring programs must change in order to become truly effective. The world’s leading expert shows how.Youth mentoring is among the most popular forms of volunteering in the world. But does it work? Does mentoring actually help young people succeed? In Older and Wiser, mentoring expert Jean Rhodes draws on more than thirty years of empirical research to survey the state of the field. Her conclusion is sobering: there is little evidence that most programs—even renowned, trusted, and long-established ones—are effective. But there is also much reason for hope.Mentoring programs, Rhodes writes, do not focus on what young people need. Organizations typically prioritize building emotional bonds between mentors and mentees. But research makes clear that effective programs emphasize the development of specific social, emotional, and intellectual skills. Most mentoring programs are poorly suited to this effort because they rely overwhelmingly on volunteers, who rarely have the training necessary to teach these skills to young people. Moreover, the one-size-fits-all models of major mentoring organizations struggle to deal with the diverse backgrounds of mentees, the psychological effects of poverty on children, and increasingly hard limits to upward mobility in an unequal world.Rhodes doesn’t think we should give up on mentoring—far from it. She shows that evidence-based approaches can in fact create meaningful change in young people’s lives. She also recommends encouraging “organic” mentorship opportunities—in schools, youth sports leagues, and community organizations.

Oltre i materiali. La scienza tra le nostre dita: Quaranta storie di lavoro e formazione
by Liù Catena Ivan DavoliIl libro nasce dall’idea di fornire una testimonianza della condizione occupazionale dei laureati in Scienza dei Materiali attraverso le dichiarazioni di ex-studenti. Complessivamente sono stati intervistati una quarantina di laureati provenienti da differenti aree geografiche italiane, con titoli accademici diversi e soprattutto con percorsi formativi ed esperienze professionali variegati. Ne è uscito un affresco interessante riguardo il profilo, le tendenze e la possibilità di accesso al mondo del lavoro. Il ventaglio dei percorsi umani, formativi e professionali è assolutamente ampio, mai ripetitivo, diversificato e affascinante, tanto quanto il mondo dei materiali, delle sue tecnologie e metodologie di studio e di ricerca. Ogni singola storia narra in che modo questa scienza stia sempre più rapidamente cambiando il mondo delle cose attorno a noi e come maggiormente lo cambierà in futuro. Il volume sostiene altresì l’irrinunciabile necessità di sostenere due tipi di orientamento; un orientamento allo studio, rivolto agli studenti e alle loro famiglie, per rispondere all’esigenza di informazione sul corso di laurea in Scienze dei Materiali mettendo in evidenza la varietà e l’interesse dei possibili percorsi professionali ed un orientamento all’assunzione, rivolto alle aziende, per ribattere alla richiesta di competenze e risorse umane portando gli imprenditori a conoscenza delle caratteristiche dello scienziato dei materiali.
