A reverent look at Christian ethics rooted in prayer, worship, and service. 
What does it mean to live morally today? How do the Ten Commandments inform everyday life? This encouraging new book introduces Christian ethics by showing readers that faithful moral living is achieved through the daily "practice of piety." Timothy Sedgwick explores the foundations of Christian ethics, as seen by both Catholics and Protestants, and develops a constructive view of morality as a way of life. Taking into account the central themes of Christian ethics, Sedgwick shows how effective piety is built on spiritual disciplines that deepen our experience of God: prayer, worship, self-examination, simplicity, and acts of hospitality.

Rabbi Paul: An Intellectual Biography, Library Edition

Rabbi Paul is at once a compelling, highly readable biography and a window on how Jesus message was transformed from a loosely organized, grassroots peasant movement into a structured religion embraced by millions around the world. Drawing on Paul s own writings as well as historical and scholarly documents about his life and times, Chilton portrays an all-too-human saint who helped to create both the most beautiful and the most troublesome aspects of the Church. He shows that Paul sought to specify the correct approach to such central concerns as sexuality, obedience, faith, conscience, and spirit, to define religion as an institution, and to clarify the nature of the religious personality issues that Christians still struggle with today.

The value and significance of the targumstranslations of the Hebrew Bible into Aramaic, the language of Palestinian Jews for centuries following the Babylonian Exilelie in their approach to translation: within a typically literal rendering of a text, they incorporate extensive exegetical material, additions, and paraphrases. These alterations reveal important information about Second Temple Judaism, its interpretation of its bible, and its beliefs. This remarkable survey introduces critical knowledge and insights that have emerged over the past forty years, including targum manuscripts discovered this century and targums known in Aramaic but only recently translated into English. Prolific scholars Flesher and Chilton guide readers in understanding the development of the targums, their relationship to the Hebrew Bible, their dates, their language, their place in the history of Christianity and Judaism, and their theologies and methods of interpretation.
