"Looks at the political uses of the biblical kings and the Old Testament in the Renaissance ... the work explores the scriptural ambivalence to and suspicion of monarchy and constitutes a reception history of the biblical texts on kingship across the seventeenth century; the study also provides an account of the biblical idiom of politics in the era"--From author's University of York web page

This year marks the centenary of America's entrance into what was known as the Great War on the side of France and Great Britain. On April 6, 1917, having passed both the Senate and the House of Representatives, the United States of America declared war against Germany. Whereas the Imperial German Government has committed repeated acts of war against the people of the United States of America: Therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the state of war between the United States and the Imperial German Government, which has thus been thrust upon the United States, is hereby formally declared. It was Good Friday. ; The essays in this themed issue of the journal were originally given as papers at workshops of the Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded research network, The Book and the Sword: The Bible in the Experience and Legacy of the Great War held in St John's College, Cambridge. The editors express their gratitude to the AHRC for their funding.

From the early days of Christianity in Sub-Saharan Africa, a Eurocentric view of Christian teaching was a primary tool in the subjugation and domination of native populations. Since 1921 Kimbanguism, an African Initiated Church, has advocated a reconstruction of Blackness by appropriating the parameters of Christian identity. The prophet Simon Kimbangu, the founder of the movement, has inspired 17 million followers with Pan-African messages of political and spiritual liberation. The Spurned Race is the first comprehensive study of Kimbanguism since the pioneering books of the 1980s. The son of a Kimbanguist pastor, Gampiot uses his inside resources to offer new sociological and theological analyses of the church's interpretation of and signification on the Christian bible. The Spurned Race provides a unique and important look at the independent nature of early African Christian prophetic movements.

Der Aufsatz befasst sich mit der Frage ob Christliche Bildformationen in der alttestamentlichen Ikonographie auf jüdische Vorlagen zurückgehen. Diese Frage wurde jahrzehntelang in der Forschung debattiert. Der Aufsatz beleuchtet die Debatte kritisch und geht auf einige Fallstudien ein.

"Bible Nation tells the story of the Greens' rapid acquisition of an unparalleled collection of biblical antiquities; their creation of a closely controlled group of scholars to study and promote their collection; their efforts to place a Bible curriculum in public schools; and their construction of a $500 million Museum of the Bible near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Bible Nation reveals how these seemingly disparate initiatives promote a very particular set of beliefs about the Bible—and raise serious ethical questions about the trade in biblical antiquities, the integrity of academic research, and more. Bible Nation is an important and timely account of how a vast private fortune is being used to promote personal faith in the public sphere—and why it should matter to everyone." --Publisher description

Der Aufsatz behandelt die Kopie einer Holzschnitt-Bilderbibel aus Venedig (Anf. 16. Jh.), die von dem jüdischen Maler/Drucker Moses dal Castellazzo hergestellt wurde. Anhand einer Untersuchung des frühen hebräischen Buchdrucks wird gezeigt, wie Moses sein Projekt konzepierte, so dass es an ein breites Publikum verkauft werden konnte.
