The value and significance of the targums—translations of the Hebrew Bible into Aramaic, the language of Palestinian Jews for centuries following the Babylonian Exile—lie in their approach to translation: within a typically literal rendering of a text, they incorporate extensive exegetical material, additions, and paraphrases that 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, language, and place in the history of Christianity and Judaism; and their theologies and methods of interpretation. “With clear presentation of current research and the issues involved, including the Targums and the New Testament, and a rich bibliography, this is the most complete—and up-to-date—introduction to the Targums. An outstanding, highly recommended achievement.” Martin McNamara, Emeritus Professor of Scripture, Milltown Institute, Dublin, Ireland

Desde mi conversión al cristianismo, hace ya más de 30 años, he sido testigo de la confusión que existe entre los miembros de las iglesias pentecostales que, a pesar de compartir una misma denominación, siguen presentando marcadas diferencias en lo que predican y en la forma en que guían a sus miembros. Al ser muchas de ellas organizaciones religiosas independientes, es decir, que no tienen afiliación a una organización global que los dirija, regule y/o supervise; cada líder religioso maneja su iglesia a su manera, aparentemente, sin una guía de ética cristiana que permita asesorar a sus congregados en base al pensamiento de Dios.

The psalms--the prayers of the chosen people, the prayers of the people of God--have a spontaneity and timeless pertinence which is unique. They are an integral part of Christian liturgies; yet they pose difficulties for many who sense that they have sprung from a cultural milieu which is totally alien to our own. This problem can only be solved by a careful study of their origins, their literary structures, their content, and their intent. A vast literature has grown up around the psalter. But modern biblical discoveries, research, and scholarship have opened the way to a greater understanding and finer appreciation of the inspired prayers. The author, one of the leading exegetes of our time, has produced a monumental and comprehensive work which reflects his vast research and erudite judgment. The scholar and the biblical student will find this thorough treatment invaluable. And educated men of all religions, who share a common invaluable scriptural tradition, should also find it essentially helpful and enlightening. This many-faceted work clearly illustrates that biblical scholarship knows no denominational boundaries. The psalter is a bridge of prayer in this ecumenical age, and readers will find the author's insights and analyses most helpful in making the psalms more vital in their lives and a more unifying bond in man's search for God in our time.

WALKING IN THE LIGHT First John One; Five these are the good news that we have heard from him, and we announce it to him; God is light and there is no darkness in him. John One; Nine because he is the true light that came into the world, which illuminates all men. John Eight; Twelve again Jesus spoke to them and said: I am the light of the world, whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will find for himself the light of life. John Nine; Five while I am in the world, I am the light of the world. First John One; Six and if we say that we are in communion with him and we walk in darkness, we are liars, and we do not walk in the truth. First John One; Seven, but if we walk in the light, just as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of his son Jesus cleanses us from all our sins. Titus Two; Fourteen who offered himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity, and to purify for himself a new people jealous of his new works. Hebrews Nine; Fourteen how much more the blood of Christ, who through the eternal spirit offered himself without blemish to God, will purify our conscience from dead works so that we may serve the living God. First John One; Eight and if we say that there is no sin in us, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. First John One; Nine, but if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all our iniquity. Psalms Thirty Two; Five I declare my sins to you and do not hide my transgressions from you, I said; I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave all my sins. Proverbs Twenty-eight; Thirteen do not stop the discipline of the boy, because if you spank him, he will not die. First John One; Ten and if we say we do not sin, we make him a liar and we do not have his word in us.
