One of the twelve Minor Prophets, Micah unwaveringly spoke God's message to Israel - a message filled with judgment but also laced with the promise of redemption. Micah combined poetic complexity and literary sophistication to compel his audience to respond. And now, through an exacting linguistic and literary analysis of the biblical text, coauthors Francis I. Andersen and David Noel Freedman explain what Micah meant to his contemporaries, as well as what his message means to readers today.What sets "Micah" apart is the attention it pays to the details of the prophet's original text. The commentary is descriptive rather than speculative, philological rather than theological. With unusual care, the authors - two of the world's leading Bible scholars - examine the features of "Micah's" biblical Hebrew and prophetic discourse. They discover the use of a special kind of language, which, in its poetic composition, differs significantly from the language of classical Hebrew prose.

My Father's Business is about the Galilean ministry. It looks exclusively at St Luke's record of Jesus living & working in the context of the customs, religion & prejudices of the day. We see Jesus the boy growing up in Nazareth, then Jesus the man about thirty years old. Baptised by John the Baptist, he begins his work, & immediately meets the antagonism that will dog him all the way to Calvary. The book wonders about Jesus' brothers & sisters, & suggests that he wasn't the 'carpenter' that tradition makes him. It tries to reflect the sensitive interest of Luke the physician in Jesus' healing ministry. Mt Father's Business looks briefly at the leading personalities: John the Baptist - his huge popularity, & his execution at the opportunistic whim of Herodias; Herod Antipas - his incestuous adultery, & his running war with the Arab king, Areta; the Twelve Apostles - chosen & launched into their training within sight & sound of Jesus' preaching & work, with hands-on experience.

Apollos is an enigmatic character whose name appears in only three New Testament writings. Through a social-scientific approach, this study pays attention to four main aspects relative to Apollos: his collectivistic nature as a person of the first-century Mediterranean; his relationship to Corinth and its emerging conflicts; his roots in the city of Alexandria and its contributions to his personality and identity; and, finally, his relationship to Paul and his social network. By gaining insights into a world and culture different from their own, readers will gain a deepened understanding of an important and highly educated member of Paul's social network. The person of Apollos and the entire New Testament will be seen through new lenses and will open readers to new cultural experiences from which they will emerge fuller people.

Tannehill, Robert
Bibles, Scripture & Study > Biblical Commentary & Interpre
The Abingdon New Testament Commentaries series provides compact, critical commentaries on the writings of the New Testament. These writings exemplify the tasks and procdures of careful, critical exergesis. In this volume, Robert C. Tannehill focuses on the significance of the Gospel of Luke in its final form for its original audiance. Tannehill suggests that certain features of Luke's Gospel only take on a deeper significance when matched with an appropriate historical and cultural context in the first century. This book is academic (for the sophisticated nonspecialist student of the Bible), has 378 pages, and is published by Abington Press.

Cantalamessa, Raniero
Bibles, Scripture & Study > Biblical Commentary & Interpre
These meditations present the mystery of Pentecost, from Luke in Acts, John in his Gospel, and Paul in his Letters. By placing these diverse but complementary points of view together, Cantalamessa provides priests, students, and interested lay people with a "three-dimensional" image of the coming of the Spirit, particularly suited to promote catechesis and devotion. Fr. Cantalamessa originally presented these meditations in his capacity as preacher to the papal household.
Chapters are "And They Began to Speak in Different Tongues: The Lukan Pentecost and the Spirit of Unity," "You Will Receive Power When the Holy Spirit Comes Upon You: The Lukan Pentecost and the Spirit of Prophecy," "He Breathed on Them and Said, 'Receive the Holy Spirit': The Johannine Pentecost and the Spirit of Truth," "But One and the Same Spirit Produces All of These: The Pauline Pentecost and the 'Person' of the Holy Spirit."
