When discussing peace in the Middle East, the same familiar litany of questions are heard: “Is it safe to travel over there?” “Do you think there will ever be peace over there?” “Why can’t they all just ‘get along’ over there?” “They’ve been fighting for thousands of years over there.”People often assert, with an air of deep self-assurance, that “there will never be peace in the Middle East,” or “the Arabs will never allow the Jews to live in peace,” or, with more than a tinge of theological naiveté, “only Christ can bring peace to the holy land.”Such familiar refrains are as misguided as they are common. In this volume, a panel of distinguished scholars, analysts and activists speak as Jews, Christians and Humanists to name and explore the chief barriers to peace and stability in the holy lands. These barriers are: nationalism, colonialism and Zionism. Readers of this volume will hear voices which are often neglected, muted or otherwise suppressed in popular discourse.

This volume, the inaugural volume in Claremont's series on the New Testament and Christian Origins, celebrates the distinguished career of Dr. Dennis R. MacDonald. As students and scholars of the NewTestament will know, MacDonald almost single-handedly established the discipline of Mimesis Criticism. However, MacDonald's scholarly achievements far exceed his role in establishing that emerging discipline within New Testament studies. MacDonald's scholarship and interests range widely over the entire discipline of Christian origins. His work has striven above all to situate the New Testament within the historical, social and literary contexts of the Greco-Roman world.The scholars —both junior and senior—in this volume participate in MacDonald's quest to locate the New Testament texts within their proper historical framework. The essays in this volume range from the Hebrew origins of the New Testament to Platonic influence on the New Testament, from Homeric imitation to the semantic domain of James, and from fresh readings of Mark to revisionist histories of Paul. There is something here for everyone. The essays are original, the arguments fresh and the language crisp. Every student of the New Testament will want to spend time with this wide-ranging celebration of MacDonald's intellectual prowess and academic career.

This book honors Dr. Joe Grana for his work in Christian Higher Education as a scholar and teacher of Scripture. And while his work in that arena is stellar, it is his character and life that, to me, are most admirable.
