Remembering God
As baptized Christians, we believe that God accompanies us on our pilgrimage through life, but how often do we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or lost along the way? In Remembering God, Mary Katharine Deeley helps the contemporary Christian to pray with Scripture by reminding us to stop and rest as weary travelers on a long journey might have done in ancient days. However, in this case, we are resting our souls by remembering that God is as near as our next breath; we need only to stop and be. Our lives in God are not a puzzle to be solved, but rather a mystery to be lived. "Sometimes God gives us a path," says Mary Katharine Deeley, "instead of an answer." Though it is true that decisions, commitments, and struggles will most definitely arise, in this book the author reminds the reader that at every moment God is with us, inviting us to come, rest, and be. In the hustle and bustle of our daily routines, especially as our global connections continue to grow, and our borders continue to shrink; it can be difficult to stop and find our resting point in order to renew our spirits. May you find rest as you turn the pages of this book, and Remember God. View sample pages.

The Agency of the Apostle
In this interdisciplinary study Paul's enigmatic rhetoric in 2 Corinthians is analysed and explained using dramatism, a modern critical theory developed by Kenneth Burke. Three portions of 2 Corinthians are isolated and examined as fitting responses to dintinct stages in Paul's changing relationship to the Corinthian Christians. In the Letter of Initial Response (2.14-7.4), Paul responds to the beginning of the conflict with an argument defined by the opposition between 'agency' and 'agent' conceptions of ministry. In the Letter of Attack (chs. 10-13), Paul replies to the apex of the crisis by playing the role of the foolish agent in order to gain a hearing and drive the Corinthians out of their orientation. In the Letter of Reconciliation (1.3-2.13 + 7.5-16), Paul rehearses the symbolic purification which has occurred in this conflict.
Modeling Biblical Language
Modeling Biblical Language presents articles with some of the latest scholarship applying linguistic theory to the study of the Christian Bible. The contributors are all associated with the McMaster Divinity College Linguistic Circle, a collegial forum for presenting working papers in modern linguistics (especially Systemic Functional Linguistics) and biblical studies. The papers address a range of topics in linguistic theory and the Hebrew and Greek languages. Topics include linguistic model building, temporality and verbal aspect, Greek lexical semantics and Hebrew-Greek translation, appraisal and evaluation theory, metaphor theory, corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, and Greek clausal structure. These various areas of linguistic exploration contribute generally to the interpretation and analysis of the Old and New Testaments, as well as to linguistic theory proper.
