Echoes of a Prophet: The Use of Ezekiel in the Gospel of John and in Literature of the Second Temple Period – Hardcover

By

Echoes of a Prophet examines intertextual connections to Ezekiel found in John and in Second Temple literature. The Dead Sea Scrolls contain many allusions to a number of Ezekiel’s oracles, while other Second Temple works refer to only a few of Ezekiel’s oracles, and those only rarely. In each case, Manning examines the evidence for the presence of the allusions, studies the implied interpretational methods, and comments on the function of the allusion in advancing the author’s ideas. He also analyzes John’s allusions to Ezekiel: the good shepherd, the vine, the opened heavens, imagery from the “dry bones” vision, and water symbolism.

Hippocratic Oath: A Illustrated Greek-English Reader’s Edition

By

The goal of this book is to provide readers with an enjoyable illustrated version of a story about the Hippocratic Oath. The Oath itself, which has been handed down for thousands of years in the medical community, is well-known. The Oath is included here, in both Greek and English, but Rosie’s creative backstory provides readers with more. Throughout the book, Greek text appears in speech bubbles and dialogue boxes. A corresponding translation is given at the foot of each page. We hope that readers of Koine Greek will find this work valuable and that it will boost their confidence to venture outside the New Testament.

All words appearing fifty times or fewer in the Greek New Testament have been footnoted and glossed at the bottom of each page making this book a suitable resource for intermediate students of Greek.
