Binding: Paperback
Author: David C. Steinmetz
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
Dewey Decimal Number: 230.42092
Publication Date: 1995-10-05
Reading Level: 256
 
Description: This book, a sequel to the author's well-received Luther in Context (1986, Indiana), illuminates Calvin's thought by placing it in the context of the theological and exegetical traditions--ancient, medieval, and contemporary-- that formed it and contributed to its particular texture. Steinmetz addresses a range of issues almost as wide as the Reformation itself, including the knowledge of God, the problem of iconoclasm, the doctrines of justification and predestination, and the role of the state and the civil magistrate. Along the way, Steinmetz also clarifies the substance of Calvin's quarrels with Lutherans, Catholics, Anabaptists, and assorted radicals from Ochino to Sozzini.

An accessible yet authoritative general introduction to Calvin's thought, Calvin in Context engages a much wider range of primary sources than the standard introductions. It provides a context for understanding Calvin not from secondary literature about the later middle ages and Renaissance, but from the writings of Calvin's own contemporaries and the rich sources from which they drew.

Author: Renita J. Weems
Publisher: Publishing/Editing Network
Dewey Decimal Number: 220.92088042
Publication Date: 1988-05
Reading Level: 160
 
Description: Writing with African American women in mind, Renita Weems probes beneath the surface to find out how the women of Scripture felt about themselves-by looking at how they treated other women. Believing that a common thread of sacred female experiences continues to bind centuries of women, Weems offers the hope that "we are just a sister away from our healing."

In nine chapters, Weems examines the relationships of Hagar and Sarah, Naomi and Ruth, Martha and Mary, Jephthah's Daughter and the mourning women, Miriam and her sister-in-law, the women who followed Jesus, Vashti and Esther, Elizabeth and Mary, and Lot's Wife and her daughters. Each chapter includes study questions for group discussion.

"A milestone in women's literature . . . that connects women today across class, culture, race, and time. Renita Weems is one of the most important thinkers of our time."-Susan Taylor, Editor-in-Chief, Essence Magazine
