Reading the Bible with the Dead: What You Can Learn from the History of Exegesis That You Can't Learn from Exegesis AloneMany Christians would describe themselves as serious and regular readers of the Bible. Yet, if we are honest, most of us have a tendency to stick with the parts of the Bible that we understand or are comforted by, leaving vast tracts of Scripture unexplored. Even when following a guide, we may never reach into the Bible's less traveled regions passages marked by violence, tragedy, offense, or obscurity. What our modern minds shy away from, however,
Many Christians would describe themselves as serious and regular readers of the Bible. Yet, if we are honest, most of us have a tendency to stick with the parts of the Bible that we understand or are comforted by, leaving vast tracts of Scripture unexplored. Even when following a guide, we may never reach into the Bible's less-traveled regions -- passages marked by violence, tragedy, offense, or obscurity. What our modern minds shy away from, however, ancient, medieval, and Reformation commentators dove into. In fact, their writings often display strikingly contemporary interests and sensitivities to the meaning and moral implications of the Bible's difficult narratives. John Thompson here presents nine case studies in the history of exegesis -- including the stories of Hagar and Jephthah's daughter, the imprecatory psalms, and texts that address domestic relations, particularly divorce -- in order to demonstrate the valuable insights into Scripture that we can gain not only from what individual commentators say but from fifteen centuries' cumulative witness to the meaning of Scripture in the life of the church. Visit Dr. Thompson's companion website at: http: //purl.oclc.org/net/jlt/exegesis so access further features such as a list of commentary literature in English through the year 1700 and sample sermons that model a homiletic use of the history of interpretation.Binding Type: Paperback

Actually does what it says!!!
Color: Mayday
Terns is AMAZING!! I wish I would have found it the day after my burn. I feel asleep on my hammock for 3 hrs and my face turn into a tomato 🍅. Next 3 days just tightness and sore. Then comes the peeling and it was like face dandruff. I search online did my research then found on Amazon and checked out the reviews and pulled the trigger. I have never been happier with a product and it actually does what it says it will and the reviews say. I washed my face first then put it on and it was like ahhhhh. The first 2 days I had to put it on twice a day but my face never once looked like I had put Elmers glue on just to peel off. Then everyday after, just 1 application needed but 2 if you want because my skin was glowing!! I think I might just make this my new face moisturizer. Do yourselves a favor and stop looking just go with this one!

Actually works!
Color: Mayday
The bottle is small but it does a big job with a small pea-sized amount! Takes the burn out and reduces redness and peeling quickly! Love this product!

Save your money
Color: Mayday
We bought this specifically for our trip to Florida and had high hopes based on all the positive reviews. Unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. I used it on all five members of our family exactly as directed, and it did absolutely nothing for any of us.
Not only was it ineffective, but it was also extremely overpriced for the results we got—which were none. We felt like we wasted our money on a product that simply doesn’t work as advertised. Looking back, I wish I hadn’t trusted the reviews and had saved my money instead.
I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel it’s important to share my experience so others can make a more informed decision. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this product.

Works
Color: Mayday
A little does go a long way. It’s on the pricy side but it was worth it. It’s not something to be using all the time. But definitely a back up for whenever you do get sunburn

Really effective!
Color: Mayday
I was totally blown away by how effective this was on my recent burn, I wish I had taken pictures. So much so that I did a deep dive into the ingredients and formula (I'm a nerd). My takeaway is that this is a bargain for the quality of ingredients and the care of the formula. The product absorbs quickly, is non-greasy, and relatively moisturizing and most of all, really effective. I personally appreciate the lack of any real scent or fragrance. I'm a big fan!
