rW9
refWrite page 9 Books mostly rW9 -- many titles arranged according to blog-entires by topic or news developments. I keep including new blog entries on new topics and book lists proffered from others -- includes  some fiction, some poem books, lots of theology, needs more balance.  we will add basic titles for Talmud (Neusner), Mishna (Neusner), and Philo of Alexandria aka Philo Judaeus (circa 25 BC- 47 AD), the Jewish philosopher who inter-acted with Hellenistic Greek-based culture, before the time of Jesus and during Jesus' life before the Cruicifixion, Descent, Resurrection, and Ascension (see a virulent anti-Christian try to use Philo against Christians, just as some Christians tried to enlist the Alexandrian in support of our faith in Jesus Christ. Also, a book on the Great Library of Alexandria, and some tie-in titles with Hellenism and its hegemony culturally before the time of Jesus and his Apostle to Hellenists, Saul of Tarsus aka Paul.  On Paul, I especially recommend Sylvia Keesmaat's book, Paul and His Story: (Re)Interpreting the Exodus Tradition, but balance Paul's treatment of Abraham (the interpreters make it a key replacement-theology text) with Jon Levenson's 2011 Abraham between Torah and Gospel (new); look also for this guy's critique of Abrahamism in current streams of inter-faith dialogue.  Keesmaat's volume is reviewed here (2001) by Brad Eastman who isn't interested in the fact that Paul relies on the Septuagint, not directly on the Hebrew Bible in recalling powerfully the exodus story to his Roman readers (Greek and Latin speaking), Jews and Gentiles in the synogogues in Rome.  A new Economics topical page has been (barely) started.  And I still want to beef up a Hellenistics page with reference to Toynbe and more deeply Werner Jaeger's Paideia (I've read the entire three volumes, as Prof Evan Runner recommended we do).  (8-)
