Solidly grounded in contemporary biblical scholarship, this fascinating volume analyzes each of the major New Testament writers -- Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul -- and places their accounts of Jesus' resurrection in the broader context of their entire output. Shepherd carefully studies the literary, historical, theological, anthropological, and sociological dimensions that color each writer's unique view of the resurrection, and examines how these passages may be read in various interpretive communities. Each section also includes sample sermons that illustrate how a preacher might treat these texts for an actual congregation. This is an excellent resource for pastors, and an informative, easy-to-read manual for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the New Testament.

At age thirty-nine, Suzanne Spector found herself looking at what conventional 1950s thinking had brought her. Yes, she was a wife, mother of three, and successful school director. But she was also neglected in a sexless marriage, and feeling and as if the passion and juice of life had passed her by. She began with two questions: Who am I, really? and Is it too late ? After divorcing her husband, Suzanne set out to discover who she was as an independent woman with curiosity, questions, and lust for life. Tracing more than four decades of self-discovery and intellectual, spiritual, and creative exploration, Naked at The Helm is Spector’s story of becoming the captain of her own ship in midlife. Her adventurous journey led her from a nude beach on Ibiza at forty-one to a Siberian banya at fifty-five to a hot love affair at eighty. Her intellectual quest, meanwhile, led to a second career as director of a world-renowned psychology center, while deep friendships with women, including her daughters, sustained and nourished her through decades of global travel. These probably would not be the tales your mother or grandmother would tell about her life, but this eighty-six-year old’s ebullient memoir of the second half of her life will move you to weave some rich new yarns into the tapestry of your own story. And no, it’s not too late.
