The Jerusalem Donkey Legend tells us that the donkey that carried Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday also followed him to Calvary, for the donkey loved the Lord. Appalled by the sight of Jesus on the cross, the donkey turned away but could not leave. The shadow of the cross fell upon his shoulders and back, forever marking him and all of his descendants. Amidst a horse farm in Tennessee and the equestrian sport of Three-Day Eventing, arise jealousy and hate, love and forgiveness and a little pink burro marked with the cross. Paige Winston and her teenage twins, Jacob and Jaden, thrive in the equestrian world. Paige is consumed with bitterness and rage, her Christian faith shattered when her husband, Robert, was shot and killed by a stranded motorist. On a whim, she adopts a wild burro--and her life is transformed forever. Hannah Butler was ten when her mother's car was run off a dark road in Derbyshire, England by two motorcyclists. Hannah survived the horrific accident; her mother was killed. Seven years later, living in Jackson, Tennessee, a beautiful 17-year-old Hannah, classmate and best friend to Jaden Winston, realizes that her feelings for Jaden's twin brother, Jacob, have grown beyond friendship. When spring turns into summer, Hannah's sacred, Biblical ancestry finds her--putting her and the Winston twins on a collision course with a man of Goliath evil who knows about the Achsah Legacy.

After an introduction to the concept of the narrative character as reader, this book offers a theoretical discussion based on the work of Bakhtin, Austin and Ricoeur. In-depth readings of the stories of Nathan's Parable and The Woman of Tegoa then show them to be oath-provocation stories. The tensions between father and son in the text are related to those between speaker and utterance and between reader and text. The book broadens the theoretical base for discussion of reader response to the Hebrew Bible and offers an original reading for some key texts in 2 Samuel.

THE BOOK OF GENESIS is the key to the Bible. In the New Testament it is quoted twenty-seven times literally and thirty-eight times substantially. It tells in a very few words how God first imaged man and the universe and then turned the development over to Jehovah, who has been in a process of manifestation for ages and aeons. The "Five Books of Moses," of which Genesis is the first, have always been credited to Moses, but that he was the author seems doubtful in the face of the many stories of creation found in the legends and hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt, Chaldea, and other nations that are almost identical with those of Genesis. It would thus seem that Moses edited the legends of the ages and compiled them into an allegorical history of creation. The truths in this book will be revealed to the reader through his own spiritual unfoldment. Spiritual things are spiritually discerned. The spiritual revelations that you seem to get from books and teachers already existed as submerged experiences in your own soul. The essential truths have been worked out in this or previous incarnations, and when you were reminded of the buried idea it blazed forth as a light from without. So all that you are or ever will be must come from your own spiritual achievements.

Working from the original Hebrew texts and by focusing on the literal meaning without applying personal interpretation or religious influence the author reveals a world far removed from religious dogma. Here we find evidence of beings from other planets, clear references to alien craft and devices built using technologies not known at the time. The author has not set out to destroy people's faith, and does not profess to be an atheist or a ufologist. But he has set out in this book to question many of our certainties backed up by centuries of doctrine, and to open our minds to a world that many will find both fascinating but also at times challenging.

African Origins of Monotheism recasts an African knowledge of God in a new and original way. It aims to recapture concepts of God as originally reflected upon by pristine African religious thinkers. Muzorewa is seeking after the traditional African understandings of the Divine, which trace their origins back before the rise of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Monotheism, he maintains, is the ancient view of God, ubiquitous across the continent of Africa; indeed, monotheism comes "out of Africa." The book challenges the way that the idea of God has been manipulated by Eurocentric agendas, by colonizers, enslavers, and empire builders, all of whom were using God-talk to achieve their own personal ends. In African thinking, the God concept is guided by a sense of the presence of the all-pervasive and omnipresent God, which has instilled in the people a sense of respect for life at all costs. Thus, respect is not based on a commandment or on fear but on a propensity for affinity.

A twentieth-anniversary reprint of the landmark book that launched the current explosion of social-scientific studies in the biblical field. It sets forth a cultural-material methodology for reconstructing the origins of ancient Israel and offers the hypothesis that Israel emerged as an indigenous social revolutionary peasant movement. In a new preface, written for this edition, Gottwald takes account of the 'sea change' in biblical studies since 1979 as he reviews the impact of his work on church and academy, assesses its merits and limitations, indicates his present thinking on the subject, and points toward future directions in the social-critical study of ancient Israel and the Hebrew Bible.
