For those of us tied to the academic calendar, summers and holidays give us what we need most – time. With that in mind, we offer students this booklet of recom- mended books for summer reading. Several of these titles have been suggested over the years by WRA students, faculty members and their families, and the WRA librarians. Other titles are recommended by the American Library Association for Young Adults. This list is updated and titles rotated annually by the John D. Ong Library staff and is intended to provide some variety: classic to recently published titles, rela- tively easy to challenging reading levels, fiction and non-fiction selections cover- ing diverse topics, and a list of recommended websites for further suggestions for award-winning books and titles in a specific genre. In general, books included in the WRA curriculum are not listed. A few titles have frank passages that mirror some aspects of life explicitly. Therefore, we urge parents to explore the titles your teenagers choose and discuss the book as well as the choice with them. This list is accessible on the WRA website on the John D. Ong Library home page at http://library.wra.net. Last year’s Summer Reading List is accessible as well. All the books on this list should be available in libraries and/or bookstores. Check the Ong Library home page for summer hours; students are welcome. We hope every student will find several books that peak his curiosity or expand his horizon. Enjoy your summer, your free time, and try to spend some of it reading. Enjoy! The John D.

This becomes clear with Luther’s interactions with female family members and Reformation women. With these personal encounters, he did not maintain his theological attitudes and often made exceptions to his own theology for such exceptional or influential women. Luther also did not enforce his strict theology throughout his pastoral care where he treated both men and women respectfully and equally.

  • Sarah of Genesis 17: the Place of Women in the Covenant According to the Genesis Narratives
    SARAH OF GENESIS 17: THE PLACE OF WOMEN IN THE COVENANT ACCORDING TO THE GENESIS NARRATIVES Jordan Stuart Murray Pickering Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Theology at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Hendrik L. Bosman March 2020 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signature: …………………………………………………………. Date: ………………………………….. Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Sarah’s covenantal status in Genesis is rendered ambiguous by God’s covenant-making speech in chapter 17: on the one hand, she is included by name in God’s plan for the first time, but on the other hand, God gives a sign of the covenant that is applied to men only. This has yielded various interpretations that attempt to reconcile this ambiguity, some of which consider her to be parallel to Ishmael—a covenant outsider. In the absence of new exegetical evidence, this study seeks evidence, particularly the dominant theme, from overarching structures and patterns in the book, in order to ascertain the meaning and purpose of the book as a work of literary communication. This provides the “grain” according to which the parts of the book can be read, and by which we can assess the place of Sarah in the book and her relationship to circumcision.

  • Fall 2005 an Interesting Acquisition
    THE BULLETIN OF Volume 10, Number 1 Fall 2005 An Interesting Acquisition The Center for Holocaust Studies recently joined with Special Collec- tions to purchase a pair of artists’ books by Tatana Kellner. Kellner, a photog- rapher, printmaker, and book artist based at the Women’s Studio Workshop in Rosendale, New York, is also the daughter of Holocaust survivors. The two volumes B-11226: Fifty years of silence, Eugene Kellner’s story and 71125: Fifty years of silence, Eva Kellner’s story give artistic expression to her parents’ memories of internment in several concentration and extermi- nation camps. The titles come from the parents’ de- cades-long refusal to talk about their experience, a silence not uncommon among survivors. What is unusual is what Kellner has done with their hand- written testimony. Artists’ books are handmade volumes, unified in content in such a way as to have a singular impact on the reader. Kellner’s two creations are striking examples of the genre, presented in simple wooden boxes marked solely by the number painted on each lid. When the cover is removed, a flesh-colored papier-mâché cast of the parent’s forearm is revealed, complete with tattooed number. The pages of the books, die-cut to fit around the cast, contain two sets of text. Images of the hand-written Czech accounts are printed on translucent pages, while the English translations are superimposed on contemporary and historical images. Family photographs add a personal context and provide specificity to the horrors of the Holocaust. continued on page

Dissertations (2009 -). Paper 45. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/45 THE ENOCHIC WATCHERS’ TEMPLATE AND THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW by Amy E. Richter, B.A., M.T.S., M.Div. A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2010 ABSTRACT THE ENOCHIC WATCHERS’ TEMPLATE AND THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW Amy E. Richter, B.A., M.T.S., M.Div. Marquette University, 2010 The writer of the Gospel according to Matthew was familiar with themes and traditions about the antediluvian patriarch Enoch, including the story of the fall of the watchers, and shows that Jesus brings about the eschatological repair of the consequences of the watchers’ fall. In Matthew’s Gospel, the foreshadowing of repair and then the repair itself are seen in the evangelist’s genealogy and infancy narrative, the focus of this dissertation.
