It is a fictional story of the life of Fey Cameron set against an historical background of the United States and New York society in the mid 19th century.
The book focuses on Fey Cameron, from her humble childhood in New Mexico, through to her high society life in New York, and her eventual return to her roots.
Plot summaryEdit
Born in 1850 of a Spanish mother and a Scotsman in New Mexico, and orphaned at a young age in the town for whom she was named, Santa Fe (Fey) Cameron is taken in and raised by dutiful but apathetic neighbors. As a teenager, hot-blooded Fey takes the opportunity to leave town with Terry Dillon, a shifty traveling salesman. As they slowly make their way up the Santa Fe Trail, Fey convinces herself they are in love. Not disagreeable (for the time being), Terry enlists Richens Lacey Wootton to marry them at Raton Pass. Continuing east selling Terry's questionable medicine and utilizing several of Fey's talents to earn extra money, upon reaching Leavenworth, Kansas, they are able to raise train fares to New York.
Fey and Terry arrive in New York City without any prospects and are soon forced to use up their small savings for food and board. Terry soon abandons Fey for greener pastures. Discovering she is pregnant, resourceful Fey seeks assistance at a local infirmary for women and makes arrangements to live there in exchange for helping out with the work. After her daughter Lucita is born, bewitching Fey sets her eyes on New York tycoon Simeon Tower as a means of securing her financial future and wins her way into his heart.
After securing a discreet divorce for Fey, she and Simeon marry and achieve happiness. They endeavor to increase not only their fortune but their social standing over the years, but the year 1877 would be their downfall. Simeon not only finds himself close to losing nearly everything financially, but Terry Dillon reemerges to disrupt their lives. Terry's attempts to woo Fey and blackmail Simeon result in tragedy. Bankrupt and a social pariah, Fey eventually brings an ailing Simeon back to the simple life in New Mexico to live out their days.

Is there anyway I can negotiate a lower monthy payment with either agency and how?
Negotiating Payments On Student Loans
Without seeing your student loan documents it is impossible to give you an accurate answer. It would appear that you recently stopped being a student and that your student line of credit is not a government guaranteed loan; you are paying the bank directly. You may be able to talk to them and negotiate lower payments, although that is never easy with a bank. A credit counsellor may be able to help you negotiate on your behalf either directly or through a Debt Management Plan.
As to your government student loan, you can apply for an interest free period, but it is also difficult to make a deal with them. However, it doesn't hurt to ask, so talking to them directly is a good starting point.
If you have stopped being a student for more than 7 years, you do have other options to settle student loan debt. If this is the case for you, contact a licensed trustee in bankruptcy to talk about how to deal with your student loan debt.

At the beginning of the month, a news story appeared that went viral for about 72 hours regarding the state of Kentucky, a rare occurrence in the national media outside of college basketball season. The story concerned the governor of Kentucky, Steve Beshear, granting about $25 million in tax credits to a religious ministry constructing a Biblically-based theme park in Grant County, Ky. that will include a replica of Noah's Ark. The ministry behind the project, Answers in Genesis, is led by Ken Ham and is also responsible for the notable Creation Museum that also resides in Northern Kentucky, drawing almost half a million visitors according to its website. The current project known as 'Ark Encounter' will not only feature a Noah's Ark replica but also a Tower of Babel and assorted Biblically-themed attractions (The website states that the project will open in 2014 and even allows patrons to purchase a "plank" or a "peg" of the Ark in prices ranging from $100 to $5000).
The story was widely circulated for arguably two reasons: first, it serves as a conversation piece regarding the separation of church and state in this country. While it seems as if the line between the two entities is blurred, Gov. Beshear defended the tax incentives, stating that the state is not endorsing a religious worldview but is interested in creating the purported 900 jobs the project will support. Second, the story confirmed some general assumptions about the role of Christianity, especially Protestant Christianity, in the American South. That the state government seemingly endorsed a conservative evangelical group that proselytizes a literal reading of the Bible under the guise of "Biblical science" in the least furthers the national reputation of the South as the "Bible belt," and at the most portrays Kentucky as the buckle of the "Bible belt."
Following several editorials, including one from the Lexington Herald-Leader on December 3 (the state's second-largest newspaper) decrying the governor's decision on the basis that it cheapens the state's image and embraces the hostility towards scientific inquiry that Ham's group espouses, the story faded from the news cycle. When the story broke, it provided a serendipitous moment for the Religion courses I teach to liberal arts undergraduates; a "teachable moment" so to speak concerning religious discourse in our country. However, this story represents a teachable moment for all of us and should not fade from our collective memory too hastily. The story's importance can be witnessed in statements such as those provided by the Answers in Genesis group defending employee hiring for their new project based upon religious background: "There will be positions that will require Bible knowledge because ... we have certain things in there that are requiring biblical knowledge. That doesn't mean, though, if you don't have that you can't work over in the restaurant or some other part of the facility."
Not only does this statement glaringly prefer one qualified applicant over another on the basis of religion, but exactly what counts as Biblical knowledge for the group? Many Westerners have some familiarity with the creation story or the story of Noah and the ark due to cultural influences (take the film Evan Almighty for example where Steve Carell can be mistaken for Noah). Inarguably, the group endorses a specific theological approach to scripture, and would require its Ark emcees to embody a literal interpretation of the flood narrative in Genesis, and promote the idea that the Biblical event was indeed historical (words taken from the website). In the view of Answers in Genesis, any thought that contradicts Scripture, especially evolution, is invalidated. Scripture is the divining rod for truth, and this follows Protestant maxims such as sola scriptura as the supreme voice of authority promoted in the Creation Museum itself. One wonders then how this approach would translate to the subsequent event in Genesis of the Drunkenness of Noah (Gen 20-28) that perhaps could translate to lucrative alcohol sales in the park as well as featuring patriarchal nudity and potential incest.
While scholars such as myself can snicker at such non sequiturs, this should be treated with due seriousness given the demographic of the Creation Museum and the proposed Ark park. By using features such as dinosaurs, (children can even ride a triceratops adjacent to the Garden of Eden exhibit at the Creation Museum) Ham and his ministry have cleverly attracted visitors of a younger age to their exhibitions. Dinosaurs will even be featured at the new park seemingly for a similar purpose of drawing visitors. With such shrewd evangelistic techniques, Ham can preach his hostility towards science and endorse "Biblical science" to a young and growing audience. Creationism under the label "intelligent design" or otherwise is nascent among young and old in our country today. Many of our elected representatives exhibit a similar hostility towards evolution that reflects their constituent base. A Gallup poll conducted on the general opinion towards creationist viewpoints in 1991 and 1997 suggests that creationism, even a watered-down version, is preferred by almost half those polled. While this poll is dated, if a referendum were held on which theory should be endorsed today, evolution would likely be bruised and battered.
The trend of Biblical literalism should be countered not with rival Jurassic Parks but with the realization that the Bible is not a science or history book. The Bible is merely a set of narratives and stories that reflect a relationship between humanity and the divine. The flood narrative in particular that will inspire the building of an Ark in Kentucky has a correlation in other near Eastern texts such as the Epic of Gilgamesh that contribute to a more localized "deluge theory" in Mesopotamia and exhibit the power of storytelling in ancient society. Such an approach does not denigrate the importance of the Bible for believers or non-believers. "Story" and "Myth" are not slanderous accusations when applied to the Bible, inferring that they are "untrue." The holiday season provides a most prescient example, as this is the time rife with the re-telling of the birth narrative of Jesus from the gospels of Matthew and Luke that are usually mashed together into one Christmas pageant filled with magi and shepherds. But even the magi that appear in Matthew prominently exhibit the power of storytelling and suggest that Ham's Answer in Genesis ministry misses the point. The author of Matthew never specifies how many magi there were, subsequently labeled the "three" magi due to the number of their gifts. The story became so popular in early Christianity that names were duly attached to the three magi: Melchior, Gaspar and Balthazar. And the popularity of the story manifested itself physically as the purported remains of the three magi lie in repose today at Cologne Cathedral in Germany. The magi jumped out of the story and into history, not due to its historical authenticity or its prophetic justification of the birth of a messiah, but due to the fact it was a good story. It was a story that hid the deeper relevance the magi embodied in the narrative as their three gifts (gold, frankincense and myrrh) foreshadow the life and death of Jesus. If the Bible serves as a mirror, and reveals more about us than of anything else, then the recent episode in Kentucky suggests we should be listening more intently to the stories from scripture, and not constructing Arks or ironic Towers of Babel around it. Perhaps then would the literalism movement dissipate, as readers realize the narrowing shackles such an approach places upon the Bible.

What else do I need to view dwg on Desktop app?

Hi Kjell,
If the model is not in red, but in gray, then the problem is not with import plugins, at least not the same as in the other post I linked.
Could you invite me to that project? marko.myllymaa (at) trimble.com
Best regards,
Marko Myllymaa
I suppose it's the plugins then:

Hi Kjell,
Yes, it seems that you have issues in import plugin installations. I could open the models without problems.
Please open regedit.exe and check following path:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Tekla Corporation\Model Sharing Foundation\plugins
Check the plugins listed there. There should be each plugin listed only once. If there are multiple versions of the same plugin, then you have the issue and following the next steps will fix that.
- Uninstall Trimble Connect Desktop (And Tekla BIMsight if you have that)
- Uninstall all plugins, check "Programs and Features" or "Add or Remove Programs", and plugins start either "Trimble Solutions ImportSDK" or "Tekla Model Sharing Foundation" Uninstall all of them one by one.
- In Windows Explorer clear these folders:
C:\Program Files\Trimble Solutions\ImportSDK
C:\Program Files (x86)\Tekla\Model Sharing Foundation
-In regedit.exe, remove all remaining import plugins listed here:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Tekla Corporation\Model Sharing Foundation\plugins
Now you should have cleared you computer, now you can install Trimble Connect Desktop.
Note! If you need to use Tekla BIMsight also, that needs to be installed first.
Both software is using same import plugins. Trimble Connect Desktop has newer versions, so it should be installed last.
Hopefully this helps.
Best regards,
Marko Myllymaa
Hi Kjell,
Issue could in the installation of import plugins. Do you have or have had also Tekla BIMsight installed on your machine?
If so, please check my instructions on this post: Trimble Connect 1.6 ei näytä ifc malleja
(Ignore the fact that the post starts in Finnish.)
Best regards,

Applied theatre tells a story not for the purposes of entertainment but for social, economic, political or therapeutic reasons. Prof. Matthias Warstat, funded by the ERC, wants to know more about the growth and impact of this form of theatre across the world.
In the highlands of Asia, an area spanning the mountain regions between the Pamirs and the eastern Himalayas, livelihoods are shaped as much by remoteness as by connectivity. With ERC funding, Dr Martin Saxer intends to shed new light on these areas at the edge of nation-states yet in the centre of geopolitical concerns.
Could migration lead to more respect for ethnic and cultural diversity not only in receiving communities but also in sending countries? By observing the effects of Polish migration to the UK and Germany, as a result of the country's entry in the EU in 2004, Prof. Magdalena Nowicka explores possible answers to this question.
Global migration flows show a profound diversification of migrants' groups in recent years. Their patterns of nationality, ethnicity, language, age, gender and legal status are growing ever more complex and migrants with 'new diversity' traits live in cities alongside people from previous immigration waves. Prof. Steven Vertovec's comparative study helps understand how old and new waves of migrants meet, mix, interact and get integrated into a given society.
Thorsten Quandt is the Professor of Online Communication at the University of Münster, Germany. He is currently the Managing Director of the Department of Communication in Münster. From 2009-2012, he was the Chair of Online Communication and Interactive Media at the University of Hohenheim. He has a particular interest in digital games, interactive media and online journalism. His research project funded by the ERC shed light on the social foundations of online gaming.

Antibiotics are amongst the most crucial discoveries in modern medicine. However, the surge in microbial resistance to these, now common, drugs is a challenge that medical researchers work hard to tackle. Prof. Susanne Häußler from the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research believes early diagnostic tools could shift the paradigm of how we battle this problem.
Parents may threat at the idea of their children playing in fields and sheds, but research shows that those who grew up in farms, where this is common occurrence, are less likely to suffer from allergies and asthma. Prof. Erika von Mutius leads a team of researchers, that uses this knowledge to investigate how we could treat such conditions more effectively.
Thousands of new cases of head-and-neck cancer - which includes cancer of the larynx, throat, mouth, nose and salivary glands - are diagnosed every year in Europe. Despite improvements in diagnostic and therapeutic tools, these malignant tumours still show high resistance to current treatments. Dr Daniela Thorwarth is working on tailored therapies for individual patients.
Ethiopia has the most ancient tradition of written culture in sub-Saharan Africa. Until today old monasteries and churches, scattered all over the country, hold thousands of precious manuscripts. Yet, for most part, these cultural treasures are stored in precarious conditions. Prof. Denis Nosnitsin intends to preserve and study this rich heritage that soon could be lost forever.
Sponges seem an unlikely source for innovation, yet they may hold the key to new nanotechnologies, innovative optical devices and new ways of regrowing human bone and preventing bone disease. Difficult to believe? Not for Werner E.G. Müller. In the BIOSILICA project, he and his team are developing ways to adapt the complex processes that natural glassy sponges use to build their wondrous biosilica structures for use in biodegradable implants that would facilitate bone healing after surgery or fractures.

Linda Sánchez Joins House Democrats to Introduce Social Security 2100 Act
Washington, DC – Representative Linda T. Sánchez (CA-38), Vice Chair of the House Democratic Caucus and a member of the Social Security Subcommittee, today joined House Democrats to introduce Social Security 2100 Act. The measure, led by Rep. John Larson (D-CT), stands to cut taxes for Social Security recipients, provide a benefit bump for current and future beneficiaries, and keep the system strong for generations to come.
"For generations, our nation has lived by a simple promise: Americans who have worked hard their entire lives have the right to retire with dignity and security," said Rep. Linda Sánchez. "To honor a lifetime of work and service, I am proud to join with my colleagues to introduce the Social Security 2100 act which will protect, strengthen, and expand this earned benefit for all hard-working Americans. This legislation will help keep the promise of Social Security for the decades to come."

Gucci's Quarterly Sales Rise 45%
Driving Kering's most profitable year on record.
After being named as the most-searched for brand on Lyst over 2017, the good news for Gucci has continued with strong fourth quarter results. The Italian label has posted a sales rise of 45% from the same period as last year, with the figures being the driving force behind parent company Kering recording its most profitable year on record.
The strong financial results for Kering are largely attributed to its success with young people, with brands including Gucci, Saint Laurent and Balenciaga all doing well with the under 35s. Speaking about this upturn in results, Kering's Chief Financial Officer, Jean-Marc Duplaix, explained that "We have a new generation of designers who have a more global vision." Gucci has long aimed for success in the younger end of the market, with the brand revealing its "shadow committee" of millennial advisors last year.
In related news, Gucci has recently unveiled its Pre-Fall 2018 collection.

Pictured are Robert Weible (NYS Historian and Chief Curator of the NYS Museum) and Matthew Urtz (Madison County Historian) discuss edits for a Central Region iconic Thruway sign proposed at Governor Cuomo's PATH through HISTORY conference Aug. 28 at the Empire State Plaza.
(Albany, NY – Aug. 2012) Governor Cuomo formally unveiled his "Path through History" initiative at a conference at the Empire State Plaza on Aug. 28.
Barbara Bartlett (Lorenzo State Historic Site, and the PATH through History Central Region Coordinator), Pat Hoffman (Oneida Community Mansion House), Shannon Mantaro (Hamilton PCD), Bruce Mosely (Colgate University), Matt Urtz (Madison County Historian) and Dot Willsey (National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum, and the Gerrit Smith Estate National Historic Landmark) attended.
The conference was well-executed by the governor's staff, the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, and the NYS Museum with warm hospitality, punctuality, and enthusiasm. The day started with hardhat tours behind the Capitol restoration projects. Small groups went backstage in the Governor's offices. The entire group (200 approximately) met for Kenneth T. Jackson's America Begins in New York: The Role of the Empire State In the National Narrative. Well known Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer delivered the luncheon keynote Lincoln in New York.
Facilitated Regional Break Outs were held for each of the ten state regions. Madison County is in the Central Region with Cayuga, Cortland, Onondaga, and Oswego counties. The total conference group met for the regional vision presentations to the governor in a room lined with one iconic sign from each of the ten districts. Bruce Moseley was the presenter for the Central Region. The Governor took notes as the ten reps spoke. Cuomo spoke to the conference with a powerful focus on highlighting the rich history that exists in New York State by showcasing more than two hundred of our most significant sites and historic milestones. His words and delivery were inspirational and motivational about NYS history. Shuttle buses then transported the conference to a reception at the Executive Mansion. Governor Cuomo shook hands and spoke about his new effort to highlight New York's rich heritage, his aim to showcase New York State's history and cultural significance, and his objective to promote tourism and economic development in communities in every region of the state.
At the conference, the Governor announced that the state will allocate $1 million to jumpstart ten regional heritage tourism marketing plans. In addition, Governor Cuomo unveiled proposed new road signs to be installed on major state highways to promote sites from New York's history, and previewed a new website that will have additional information on the sites.
The Path through History will be marked by brand new signs that will be placed along the New York State Thruway and other major arteries to direct travelers to historic sites in the area. For more information: www.governor.ny.gov/assets/documents/PTHToursbyThemefinal.pdf

The mayor of Laredo, Texas, Pete Saenz, is now calling President Donald Trump's Executive Order to begin construction of a border wall "offensive".
In an interview with CBS News, Saenz said Trump's border wall plan is "divisive" because of its physical appearance and the "psychological impact" it will have on tourists visiting Laredo.
"It serves as a negative psychological impact on people that visit our city," Saenz told CBS. "Could you imagine having a city with a huge wall there? It's not very inviting. It's very divisive."
Saenz's town of Laredo sits right on the US-Mexico Border and is a high-traffic area for not only illegal aliens, but the Mexican drug trade as well.
As Breitbart Texas reported, Laredo is one of the main hubs for drug smuggling by the Los Zetas Cartel, sitting just north of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, often considered the "home base" of the criminal organization.
The CBS News piece also makes a point to portray border walls as not necessarily working, in terms of keeping illegal immigrants out of the country and preventing an in-flow of drugs, titling the piece "Critics on why building a Mexico border wall won't be effective."
Unlike local Democratic politicians like Saenz opposing the border wall, U.S. Border Patrol agents have praised Trump's immediate action at the border, as Breitbart Texas reported.
"We know we won't have a wall along the 2,000 miles of border," the President of the Local 2455 of the National Border Patrol Council Hector Garza said. "What we will have is a wall where it is needed. That barrier with proper manpower, resources, technology and other tools will be effective. But most important, for the first time we have a president that wants to secure the border."

I reformated my hard drive and reinstalled office 97 .The spell checker is not working in outlook express.I had this trouble many years ago and I remember it had something to do with the link with the word spell checker.Could anyone help me again and this time I will print the solution.
Regards Ancient
Why are using Outlook Express when Office has it's own email client (Outlook) which is much better than the free Express version?
Set up your email account in Outlook, transfer your data from Outlook Express, then see if the spellcheck works in Outlook.
I have done as you suggested . Now could you tell me how to set up my mail accounts.I have been trying for over an hour without any success as it seems to be completely different to express.Also how to inport or export my address book.
Regards Ancient
Setting up Outlook accounts:
Importing or sharing contacts:
Post back if you are having specific problems
"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us..." Pink Floyd
Neither of these solutions helped me much. I removed Office 97 and installed
Office 2000 and there was no trouble transfering files from express and installing the accounts.
Thanks anyway for your help .
ps.I still think outlook express is the better program.
Regards Ancient.
Well most people who previously used OE but now use Office Outlook would probably disagree.
For one thing, backing up all your messages & contacts with Office Outlook is far easier than it is with OE, as all you need to backup is one file.
The only drawback with Outlook 2007 is that Microsoft forgot to include an import function for existing email account settings, so you have to do it manually just as though you were setting up an account for the first time. That was a blunder by Microsoft which has thankfully been fixed in Outlook 2010.

A story of opportunity for North Korea-update
2018-06-25 16:27
President Trump showed North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a video resembling a movie trailer in preparation for their meeting. He played the video for the press after the historic meeting in Singapore, where President Trump agreed to stop joint military drills with South Korea and Kim Jong-un agreed to denuclearize. The video was played for reporters first in Korean, then in English, Time reported. The video appears to be giving Kim Jong Un a choice on whether to continue the status quo between North Korea's closed off existence and distant relations with other countries or to join the wave of prosperity the world outside of North Korea is experiencing. "A new world can begin today, one of friendship, respect, and goodwill. Be part of that world, where the doors of opportunity are ready to be opened. Investment from around the world, where you can have medical breakthroughs, an abundance of resources, innovative technology, and new discoveries," says a narrator in the video. The video shows footage of Trump, Kim, North Koreans, Americans, and shows Kim crossing into South Korea for his historic meeting with President Moon Jae-in. The video seems to be encouraging Kim to stay that path and capitalize on the gains in openness he has already achieved.

Some of the religious-minded saw a political message from God in the earthquake, hurricane and flood that hit Washington in quick succession this summer. Recent FEC filings, however, reveal it wasn't the Almighty behind the string of meteorological disasters, but a force perhaps even stronger: a super PAC—specifically, the Get Our Dominance (GOD) Super PAC. (Thanks to recent Supreme Court rulings, and much to the consternation of campaign reformers, Super PAC's can raise and spend unlimited amounts of political money with little or no oversight or disclosure.)
We sat down with the director of GOD Super PAC to find out more about the organization's goals.
US: What does GOD Super PAC hope to accomplish?
GODSP: We want the American public to know how angry God is with the mess in Washington.
US: He told you so?
GODSP: No, that's the one thing we can't do as a Super PAC: coordinate with the candidate. But we have faith that we're accurately representing His views.
US: Wait a minute: "candidate"? Is God running for something?
GODSP: Most observers agree there's still plenty of room in a largely unsettled GOP presidential field. If there's time for Chris Christy to get in the race, there's time for God. Remember, He'd be starting with excellent name recognition and very high favorables.
US: How do the earthquake, hurricane and flood come in?
GODSP: We're softening up the political class and media for the ultimate campaign launch. Of course, they're mostly atheists, so we had to go all Old Testament to get their attention.
US: But how did GOD Super PAC cause all these natural disasters?
GODSP: I'm afraid that's proprietary information we're not required to disclose.
US: How much does an earthquake cost, anyway?
GODSP: I don't have to tell you. But believe me, it ain't cheap.
US: So where'd you get the money?
GODSP: Wouldn't you like to know? But check the wording on the door you just came through: "Super PAC," my friend. Don't have to say.
US: Many might think it's impossible for a PAC—even a Super PAC—to cause catastrophes on that scale with no Heavenly assistance.
GODSP: I didn't say there was no assistance, I said there was no coordination. If we just happened to come up with the same idea as God and pursue it along parallel lines towards a common goal—well, that's not against the rules, that's just good luck.
US: But are you sure God's running for president?
GODSP: God knows. But that's what we're praying for.

Abraham and Authenticity
Reuven Firestone
The Abrahamic religions recognize Abraham as the first to arrive at the truth of monotheism and live out the ideal relationship with God. He is the archetype of the stalwart religious individual willing to abandon everything in the journey to realize the truth of God. Yet while the Abrahamic religions all recognize his vital role, each understands his nature differently. In Judaism Abraham represents unfailing obedience to the divine command, while in Christianity he is the epitome of Christian faith. And in Islam Abraham was the first to submit fully and without reservation to the divine will. Because the religions that revere Abraham differ, so do their Abrahams. Thus, not only does Abraham serve as a symbol of common aspirations, he is also a source of disagreement and interreligious polemic, and a fulcrum for leveraging spiritual difference and claims to religious superiority.
Ancient Near Eastern Millennialism
Robert Gnuse
Although there existed no real millennial text prior to late Jewish and early Christian texts, there exists an overabundance of resources that heavily draw on millennial texts. This article deals with the "Apocrypha" or the Hebrew Bible, which is wrought with apocalyptic literature. Similar literature is also to be found in Mesopotamian scriptures, a string of texts known as the "Akkadian Prophecies". Ancient Zoroastrian texts, predating both Jewish and Christian counterparts, too seem to have substantial pre-millennial texts, similar in subjective elements such as an unhappy end of time with subsequent salvation, resurrection, personified angels etc. The common factors between these texts are: they commonly draw on general crisis contexts and most immediate and obvious hurdles in projecting the evils of the world; secondly, the geographical origins of these texts were unified by the common factor of their unequivocal resistance to Hellenic expansionism, something that figures prominently in the subjective interpretation of these texts.
Ancient Near Eastern Studies: Egypt
Kenneth Kitchen
This article looks at the impact of ancient Near Eastern studies on biblical scholarship. Before 1800, no accurate first-hand knowledge of Egypt's ancient remains was available to compare with biblical mentions of that land and its ancient civilization. During the nineteenth century, detailed pioneering exploration of Egypt and Nubia led to extensive recording and major publications of the visible monuments and inscriptions, while decipherment of ancient Egypt's hieroglyphic and other scripts, along with their language, finally opened the way towards recovering three millennia of history, literature, and social organization, including religious belief and practice.
Ancient Near Eastern Studies: Mesopotamia
W. G. Lambert
This article discusses the impact of ancient Near Eastern studies on biblical scholarship, focusing on written remains of all kinds. Ancient Mesopotamia has yielded tens of thousands of clay tablets with cuneiform inscriptions, apart from monumental stone inscriptions and inscriptions on other media. Palestine and Syria, by contrast, have yielded comparatively little inscriptional material, partly because much was written on papyrus and leather, which has not survived, partly because they were less rich than their Mesopotamian neighbours and so produced less written material.
Ancient Versions and Textual Transmission of the Old Testament
Gerard J. Norton
This article first gives a schematic outline of the history of the Hebrew text in four stages. It then presents the elements that readers will meet in modern editions of that text. These modern editions find a common focus in the great Tiberian manuscripts of about 1000
Apocalyptic Eschatology in the Ancient World
John J. Collins
The category of "apocalyptic literature" was invented by the German New Testament scholar Friedrich Lücke in 1832 in the context of an introduction to the Book of Revelation. Lücke identified a small number of Jewish apocalyptic writings (Daniel, 1 Enoch, 4 Ezra, and the Sibylline Oracles) and also discussed some Christian apocalypses such as the Ascension of Isaiah. With the resurgence of interest in biblical theology after World War I, interest in the non-canonical literature subsided. A new wave of interest in this material arose in the 1960s, stimulated in part by the publication of the Dead Sea Scrolls. As yet, there has been relatively little sociological study of ancient apocalypticism, arguably because the data are inadequate. Perhaps the most urgent desideratum, however, is that the progress made in this area be brought to bear on the study of eschatology in the Hebrew Bible and especially in early Christianity. This article discusses apocalyptic eschatology in the ancient world. It considers the origins of apocalypticism, Zoroastrianism and apocalypticism, apocalyptic writings as a development of biblical prophecy, and wisdom and apocalypticism.
Apocalypticism and Messianism
Michael A. Knibb
The beliefs of the movement that lies behind the scrolls were influenced by the eschatological ideas of the early Enochic writings and by the Book of Daniel, and although the movement does not seem to have produced many apocalypses, eschatology and messianism formed a significant part of its thought-world. But the movement was concerned above all with the proper observance of the Torah. It seems likely that the development of dualism and to some extent of eschatology was a way of coping with the fact that their interpretation of the Torah was not accepted by the leaders. The discussion also holds that the eschatological and messianic beliefs of the Dead Sea Scrolls represent a development of traditions already contained in the Hebrew Bible and form part of the spectrum of beliefs that were common to Jews of the period.
John R. Bartlett
This article discusses archaeology's impact on biblical scholarship, especially over the last two centuries. It describes the Christian pilgrims, explorers, travellers, map makers, and military surveyors who paved the way for the archaeologists. It focuses on twentieth-century archaeology in Palestine/Israel, demonstrating archaeology's growing independence as a discipline, and its effect on modern understanding of the Bible's presentation of history.
John R. Bartlett
This article discusses the contributions of archaeology to biblical scholarship. Biblical scholarship needs the archaeologist as it needs the anthropologist, the epigraphist, the philologist, the Assyriologist, the classical scholar, the student of Qumran, the rabbinic scholar, and others for the interpretation of the biblical writings. Archaeology is not so much a method of biblical scholarship as an intellectual discipline and practice, incorporating many methods and subject to many methodologies, assisting the modern interpretation of the Bible.
Archaeology and the Pauline Letters
Cavan Concannon
Archaeological materials and research have long informed the study of the Pauline letters. These materials have typically been used to provide a 'background' to Paul's writings, to solve interpretive problems, or to 'prove' the veracity of a detail in Paul's biography, as recorded in canonical Pauline literary sources. This chapter looks at the history of how archaeological research has been used to interpret the Pauline letters and the methodological issues that such interdisciplinary conversations touch upon. It pays particular attention to the perils and the promise of bringing archaeological research into conversation with Pauline studies. It then turns to explore case studies of interdisciplinary research by scholars of early Christianity on four cities connected to the Pauline letters: Thessaloniki, Philippi, Ephesos, and Corinth. These projects point to promising avenues forward for how Pauline studies might engage archaeological work. (N.B. This article is a distilled, adapted, and updated version of Concannon 2013.)
Assessing the Text‐Critical Theories of the Hebrew Bible after Qumran
Ronald S. Hendel
The biblical texts from Qumran are the oldest manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible, dating from the mid-third century BCE through the first century CE. Prior to the discovery of the Qumran texts, evidence for the early history of the biblical text consisted of three major versions – the Masoretic text (MT), the Septuagint (LXX), and the Samaritan Pentateuch (SP) – each with an unbroken chain of transmission to the present day. This article assesses the major text-critical theories of the Hebrew Bible after Qumran. First, it surveys the textual situation at Qumran and the relationships among the Qumran texts and the major versions (MT, LXX, and SP), using, as a perspicuous example, the texts of Exodus. Then, the article addresses the adequacy of the text-critical theories, testing their strengths and weaknesses against this evidence. The major protagonists in the theoretical discussion are Frank M. Cross, Shemaryahu Talmon, Emanuel Tov, and Eugene Ulrich.
Augustine and Pelagius on the Epistle to the Romans
Mark Edwards
Perhaps no scriptural passage has divided the church so bitterly, or so often, as the ninth article of the Epistle to the Romans. Predestinarian readings take two forms, one of which maintains that God predestines us to salvation or reprobation in the light of faith or works foreseen, the other that this predestining is itself the unconditioned cause of the good that he foresees. Both can claim the authority of Augustine, the foremost theologian of the first millennium. His adversary Pelagius found a different stratagem — not unknown in modern times — which enabled him to deny that Paul endorsed any species of predestination. To explain how each arrived at his conclusions, we must first sketch the theology of salvation that each set out to reconcile with the difficult text of this epistle.
Authoritative Scriptures and the Dead Sea Scrolls
Timothy H. Lim
The approach advocated in this article is the understanding of canon as authoritative literature that is binding for the Qumran community. The distinctive features of this approach are: authority is related to a community; the pesherite is central to the understanding of authoritative literature; there is a vaguely bipartite canon where the 'Torah of Moses' referred to the Pentateuch; authoritative literature included the biblical lemmata cited and the pesherite interpretation; Jubilees, Enoch, and the Temple Scroll were not considered part of the Torah of Moses; the rules of the community were considered canonical and authoritative; and other books, such as the Psalms of Joshua and 'the book of meditation', may also have been considered authoritative.
The Classical Sources on the Essenes and the Scrolls Communities
Joan E. Taylor
The nature of groups named in classical sources as 'Essenes' was considered in scholarship of Second Temple Judaism long before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, but discussion of the Essenes has intensified greatly during the last sixty years. This article reviews the classical sources on the Essenes. It notes propositions on how the Essenes may relate to the scrolls communities and considers how variant opinions may be resolved, with particular reference to the Serekh.
Constructing Ancient Judaism from the Scrolls
Martin Goodman
Most of the Dead Sea Scrolls can be classified as religious documents of one kind or another, and all the studies since 1947 that have been devoted to their significance can be characterized as attempts to construct some aspect of ancient Judaism from them. Where agreement has been harder to achieve is on the centrality of the role to be accorded to the evidence from the scrolls in constructing a picture of Judaism in the last centuries BCE and the first century CE. Although the scrolls provide reason to believe that some sectarians believed that much was wrong with the Temple in Jerusalem, no text actually states that sectarians should avoid the Temple altogether. The question for the historian is whether the evidence from such texts should be enough to encourage the view that sectarian Jews with such beliefs would cut themselves off from the Temple.
The Construction of Gender in the New Testament
Colleen M. Conway
This chapter begins with a brief overview of the theorists who have shaped gender analytical work on the New Testament, especially the application of gender theory in classical studies. It then concentrates on gender analyses on New Testament writings that demonstrate the differing approaches of masculinity studies, queer theory, and intersectional analysis. The primary focus is on gender construction in Paul's letters and the canonical gospels, with additional discussion of symbolic and metaphorical uses of gender in other writings of the New Testament. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of future directions for gender criticism.
The Continuity of Biblical Interpretation in the Qumran Scrolls and Rabbinic Literature
Bilhah Nitzan
Considering Qumranic hermeneutical systems with regard to form, this article distinguishes between 'internal interpretation' integrated within rewritten biblical books, such as the Temple Scroll, and 'external interpretation' which is separated from the biblical lemma. The latter forms appear in the pesharim and in the genre called halakhic midrash. With regard to content, the discussion distinguishes between two hermeneutical systems of ancient literature: interpretation that attempts mainly to explain the reality of the biblical period; and interpretation that attempts to adapt the content of the Bible to the reality of a later period. The first is found in the Qumran scrolls primarily within the 'Rewritten Scriptures', and the latter is represented in the pesharim and some types of halakhic midrash.
The Contribution of the Qumran Scrolls to the Study of Ancient Jewish Liturgy
Daniel K. Falk
Prayer as a service to God by the people is one of the most far reaching of religious practices, forming a central part of the religious practice of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; yet there is still much uncertainty about how this developed within Judaism and why. Scrolls from Qumran provide the most important corpus of evidence to shed light on the critical period during the days of the Second Temple. This article presents a case study for prayer in ancient Judaism. It is organized around the types of questions being asked: questions of definition and classification, textual questions, historical questions, questions concerning context, and questions of ideology and theology. There is a good deal of overlap between these categories, but they are be treated separately for heuristic purposes.
Critical Issues in the Investigation of the Scrolls and the New Testament
Jörg Frey
From the very earliest period after the first discoveries, the Qumran scrolls have been of major interest to New Testament (NT) scholars, and, in retrospect, the impact of the scrolls has considerably shifted the debate in central areas of NT scholarship. The debate touches the essence of history-of-religions research, the question of how to explain alleged parallels and how to prove 'influences' on the level of texts, authors, or religious groups. The issues discussed are most generally the Jewish, or more distinctly, the Palestinian, impact on the teaching of Jesus and the Apostles, the primitive community, or the religious language and theology of NT texts. The scrolls also provide a wealth of information that helps in the interpretation of the New Testament – on the Palestinian-Jewish 'context' of emerging 'Christianity', factions and groups, etc.
Early Christian Apocryphal Literature
Stephen J. Shoemaker
The apocryphal literature of early Christianity consists primarily of narrative traditions about the life and teaching of Jesus, his family, and his apostles, as well as letters, apocalyptic visions, and other-worldly journeys attributed to these individuals that fall outside the biblical canon. These writings, however, do not always correspond to the literary genres of the New Testament. The production of apocrypha in antiquity was of course not limited to early Christianity or to Christian themes. The various expressions of ancient Judaism also produced a wealth of extra-biblical writings about the many personages of the Hebrew scriptures. These apocrypha, perhaps more commonly known today as the 'pseudepigrapha', were also embraced by various early and medieval Christian groups, who made these writings their own, often redacting them according to Christian interests and concerns.
