Samuel Leopard Shenck in the book "Schenk's Theory" shares his theory about how the sex of offspring was determined. The author, according to his theory, believed that the food consumed by the mother somehow influences the sex of the child. This book aligns with other works associated with food and health, in which she focuses more on the mother, with the belief that the extent to which she processes food determines the sex of a child.

The essays by Christopher Tuckett collected in this volume represent a number of studies, published over a period of 30 years, seeking to throw light on the way in which Jesus traditions were developed and used in early Christianity. Many of the essays are concerned in one way or another with the Sayings Source "Q", discussing its existence, its possible pre-history, and key features of the material it contains. Further essays look at Jesus traditions in Paul and in the Gospel of Thomas. In a final section the author focuses on the individual synoptic gospels, with a number of studies concerned with Christology, especially the use of the term "Son of Man". These essays show that early Christian traditions about Jesus can provide valuable information not only about Jesus but also about how early Christians used these traditions to relate to their own situations and contexts.
