Biblical scholars across the theological and political spectrum generally conclude that the answer is yes. And in the same passages the Bible seems to affirm male dominance in marriage, if not in society at large. This book meticulously places these passages, the Bible's household codes, in their historical and literary context, focusing on 1 Peter's extensive code. A careful side-by-side reading with Rome's cultural equivalent (Aristotle's household code) reveals both the brilliance of the biblical author and the depth of 1 Peter's antipathy toward slavery and misogyny. Kurt C. Schaefer is Professor of Economics at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he teaches a senior seminar on the history of economic thought. He is executive editor of Faith and Economics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50719986811153,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50719988875537,"sku":"CIN1532640641G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52138273472785,"sku":"NLS9781532640643","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53381429854481,"sku":"NIN9781532640643","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1532640641.jpg?v=1750718727"},{"product_id":"husband-wife-father-child-master-slave-book-kurt-c-schaefer-9781532640636","title":"Husband, Wife, Father, Child, Master, Slave","description":"When the New Testament speaks of slaves and masters, is it affirming an institution that we find reprehensible?

The Lord's Prayer is a psalm, and reading the prayer as a psalm opens up its meaning. To read the Lord's Prayer as a psalm, you have to be able to read a psalm as a psalm. So this book is first of all an adventure in reading the Bible's poetry--the psalms, of course, but also much of the prophets' testimony. The Old Testament's poetry is rich in themes important to the Lord's Prayer: heaven and earth, kingship and covenant, prophetic teaching and repentance, priesthood and redemption. Jesus brilliantly brings these strands together in the prayer through which he taught his disciples to pray. Much richer than a laundry list of petitions, the prayer beautifully affirms the counter-cultural kingdom of the only true God. It commits us to merciful behavior and full dependence upon--and contentment with--God's provision. The prayer is a plea that the rift between God's authority and this earth would be healed . . . all organized around images of Israel's experiences in the Exodus. Professor Schaefer has produced a fine study of the Lord's Prayer. He wears his great learning lightly and writes from it with real understanding of our needs and hopes. His account of the prayer is both penetrating and graceful. --Cornelius Plantinga, Jr., Senior Research Fellow, Calvin Institute of Christian Worship Kurt C.
