Whispers of the Dead by Simon Beckett
From its very beginning, Christianity was an innovative movement which had to construct and maintain its identity, morality, and social as well as theological boundary markers as it developed from a religion of conversion into a religion of tradition. Early Christianity's sensitivity to outsiders evolved in various ways as circumstances and socio-cultural contexts changed. In this volume, scholars from around the world reflect on the dynamic relationship between mission and ethos in the New Testament and Early Christianity, focusing particularly on the sensitivity, or lack thereof, to outsiders, and thereby offering new insights into old questions. Most of the New Testament and several second century books are individually studied by specialists in the field making this book a valuable reference volume on the topic.The Chemistry of Death, Written in Bone, Whispers of the Dead, The Calling of the Grave, The Restless Dead, and The Smell of Death are the No. 1 international bestselling David Hunter novels by Simon Beckett. His books have been translated into 29 languages, have appeared in the top ten bestseller lists in the Sunday Times, and have sold over 10 million copies around the world. He has written for The Times, Daily Telegraph, Independent on Sunday, and Observer as a freelance journalist. After visiting the world-famous Body Farm in Tennessee and learning about the work of forensic anthropologists, David Hunter was inspired to write his first novel. He has also won the Raymond Chandler Society's Marlowe Award and been short-listed for the CWA Gold Dagger, CWA Dagger in the Library, and Theakston's Crime Novel of the Year awards.
