1 Samuel
(Eerdmans, 2003) Campbell, Antony F.; Knierim, Rolf P.; Sweeney, Marvin A.
This form-critical analysis of 1 Samuel highlights the literary development of the text itself and its various meanings for its audiences. The tensions and contradictions in the text reflect the massive socio-poplitical upheavals within the life of ancient Israel.

A Friendly Guide to the Prophets
(Garratt Publishing, 2015) Boyle, Brian
This “Friendly Guide” introduces the reader to the fascinating prophetic movement in ancient Israel. It looks at prophecy as a charismatic phenomenon often in conflict with monarchy and established religion. The prophets were the messengers of the Lord, commissioned to take a word of judgement, often enough, to their communities but always with an eye to hope. “A Friendly Guide to the Prophets” explores in detail some of the key questions surrounding the prophetic movement: who were the prophets? Why did prophecy emerge in ancient Israel at this particular time and why did it have such an enduring impact on Judeo-Christian faith? What did the prophets preach about? The “Friendly Guide” looks at the teaching and preaching of some of the great prophets as a way of exploring these questions: Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel. One of the reasons why prophecy has such an enduring appeal is because there is a disturbing similarity between the world of the prophets and our own. The “Friendly Guide” finally asks the question: are there prophets among us today?
A Journey into the Centre of the Psalter
(ATF Press, 2005) Reaburn, Mary; O'Brien, Mark; Kelly, Michael
Rather than dealing with the shape of the Psalter as a whole, Reaburn focuses on Psalms 73-83 as the centre, and she identifies the theme of hope as the heart of the message of the Psalms. In a detailed vocabulary study, she shows the significance of the word “flock”, and its related words pasturing/ feeding/ shepherding and shepherd. From this study Reaburn explores the image of God as Shepherd of Israel and its expression of future hope based in the memory of Israel as being God’s flock in the past. The image of shepherd and flock encourages hope by connecting with the prophetic traditions of Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Zechariah. Reaburn’s entry is a careful exegetical piece which offers a convincing and satisfying theology that will be useful to all students of this section of the psalms.
A Multidimensional Approach in Feminist Ecological Biblical Studies
(Oxford University Press, 2020-12) Elvey, Anne; Scholz, Susanne
In the context of anthropogenic climate change, loss of biodiversity, and the extinction of species, ecological hermeneutics has developed in two major strands: The Earth Bible Project based in Adelaide, South Australia, and The Uses of the Bible in Environmental Ethics Project, based in Exeter, UK. Neither project specifically takes up a feminist perspective, but both are, to varying degrees, in debt to feminist biblical studies. One significant area of tension is the question of the priority of the ecological over the feminist in a situation of critical ecological concern. This essay situates ecological hermeneutics in relation to feminist hermeneutics. It focuses on Genesis 1–3 and 6–9, and refers to prophetic and wisdom literature. Violence against women and Earth is the prompt for ecological feminist hermeneutics. In response to such violence, ecological feminist interpreters affirm material agency, reimagine human identity, are open to Earth’s agency in the reading process, and practice biblical interpretation as a form of partnership with Earth. Ecological feminist approaches not only engage with the multiplicity of Earth as partner in their readings but also integrate feminist, postcolonial, and other contextual approaches into a multidimensional reading praxis.

The Abraham Narratives in Genesis 12–25
(Sage, 2019) Sonek, Kris
This article attempts to trace the development of exegesis of Genesis 12–25 in scholarly works published since 2000. Five types of studies are introduced and briefly evaluated: (1) commentaries on the biblical pericopes in question; (2) works discussing the historical formation of the Abraham narratives; (3) synchronic and theological studies; (4) reception studies; and (5) other detailed studies of Genesis 12–25. The article presents a wide range of methodological approaches, and aims to delineate current trends in the study of Genesis 12–25.

"Awareness of God in the Dynamic of Religion"
(Stirling Theological College, 2018) Susanto, Hery
With reference to First Testament sources, this article is a theological study of an awareness of God that is fundamental to continual enrichment and development of human life. Exhibited by relational engagement expressed through specific actions, awareness of God here articulated is formed within human life socially, culturally and religiously. Awareness of God is therefore composite, personal and social, as dynamic, with the potential for continual and increasingly enriched disclosure.
Banding Yosia, Banting Jokowi: Alkitab Membangkir Reformasi dari Atas.
(Seminari Tinggi St. Paulus Ledalero, 2015) Prior, John
This essay analyses the brief reform of King Josiah in 2 Kings 22-23/2 Chronicles 34, concluding that it failed because it was a centralising reform from above, without the necessary support of national and religious structures, nor with a supportive mass social movement from below. This failure is then compared with the first year of Joko Widodo's term as the President of Indonesia, a reform president in the model of Josiah, without the support of the rest of the Indonesia government, nor with mass pressure for reform from social networks. Lasting reform must come from below, like that of the prophet Joshua of Nazareth.
'Beautiful in Its Time': An Optomist Reads Qoheleth
(ATF Press, 2005) Blair, Merryl; O'Brien, Mark; Kelly, Michael
The Title of Merryl Blair’s entry, “Beautiful in its Time: An Optimist Reads Qoheleth” speaks for itself. Blair refers to the divisions amongst biblical scholars on whether Qoheleth’s approach to life is one of pessimism or joy, and comes out on the side of joy. Blair takes her hermeneutical cue from Campion Murray’s insight that the key to understanding Qoheleth is 3:11, where Qoheleth claims that God has made everything beautiful in its time, and that wisdom lies in discerning the beauty of the time.
