To help your group choose their books we have created this list: we have enough copies of these titles in stock to meet the needs of our average sized group. Some titles may be available in alternative formats (Large Print &/or Audio) - please enquire when placing orders. The list is based in part on the requests made by the 350+ Reading Groups supported by West Sussex Library Service, but inclusion on the list is not necessarily a recommendation of excellence. Ordering in advance increases the chances of supplying sufficient copies by your desired collection date, please use our online form or phone our hotline 03302 225588 (Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm) Please avoid requesting newly published titles, as these will still be in demand with our individual customers. If a title has a long waiting list we will need to satisfy paid requests from individuals before we accept reading group requests.

  • An Overview of the New Testament in Eight Weeks Arden C. Autry, Phd
    An Overview of the New Testament in Eight Weeks Arden C. Autry, PhD Introduction An eight-week overview cannot cover everything in the New Testament. Instead we will focus on some of the key events and some of the most important contributions by individual NT writers. With that as our aim we hope to gain a sense of the New Testament’s unity, diversity, and theological development. The approach of this series will be partly chronological, but only in a general way. Obviously the events of the Gospels precede the events of Acts, and the events in Acts partially overlap with the historical contexts for some of Paul’s Epistles. But the earliest Epistle of Paul was almost certainly written before the first Gospel was written, and the Book of James was probably written before Paul’s earliest. With a strict chronological order being out of the question for such a series, the approach taken will be somewhat canonical (taking the books in the order found in the Bible). So, for example, we will treat Matthew before Mark, even though most NT scholars (including the author of this series) believe Mark was written before Matthew. When we get to the Epistles of Paul in Lessons 5-6, the canonical approach will not serve as well. The canonical order of Paul’s Epistles goes generally from longest to shortest, not from earliest to latest (e.g., the Thessalonian letters were written years before Romans). To attempt a chronological approach, however, would involve too much repetition and historical arguments for the chosen order.

  • These Traditions Reveals the Ways Churubusco Relates to Other Communities and to the Nation Through Its Folklore
    10 MIDWESTERN FOLKLORE these traditions reveals the ways Churubusco relates to other communities and to the nation through its folklore. Further analysis suggests how participation in the broader American symbolic system both influences and inhibits local collective representations of identity and pride. Although the symbols introduced in this chapter recur in various guises in later turtle days traditions, they play minor roles since they convey neither the sense of community uniqueness nor the absolute national significance of the Beast of ’Busco, the focus of the emergent folklore. Chapter Two, “The Great Turtle Hunt,” relates the history of the 1949 events. Local newspaper sources, along with interviews with participating townsfolk, establish a chronology of the historic events. Folkloristic discussion focuses on local and national turtle lore, the American tall tale/traveler tale tradition, and the mythical animal quest theme. The events of 1949 are viewed as an enactment of American cultural themes. Chapter Three, “Town Folklore,” concerns the town’s elaboration of the cultural script enacted by the turtle hunters. This chapter examines the symbiosis of folklore and popular culture by detailing the extent to which elements of folklife and folklore along with commerce, industry, and media hoaxing produce a complex of celebratory protofestive behavior. The focus here is how the town placed itself on the map and acquired its source of local and national identity. Concluding discussion addresses the American provenance of protofestive behavior. Chapter Four, “Emergent Folklore,” is based on interviews and observations twenty-two years after the events of 1949. The reader is returned to Fulk Lake and to Churubusco to discover that personal-experience stories, conversations, tall tales, practical jokes, folk poetry, folk speculation, hoaxing, and legend related to the Beast of ’Busco theme continue to appear in a variety of contexts, both oral and printed.
