Terry Furst, "Early Professional Baseball and the Sporting Press: Shaping the Image of the Game" English | 2014 | ISBN: 0786469854 | EPUB | pages: 184 | 1.9 mb The book analyzes the process by which the collective image of professional baseball was formed. It traces both the negation and the affirmation of ideas in the sports press that would impede or promote the growth of baseball from a recreational pastime to a team sport spectacle in the mid-19th century. The American collective image grew as a result of sports reportage, conversations about baseball in social and work groupings, game attendance (and changing values toward work and play), and reports of gambling. ![]() Free Download R.

The manuscript evidence for the Samaritan Pentateuch in Greek attests two distinct, textually unrelated groups of readings: a σαμ-type (i.e., the Samareitikon) and a μονον-type. Only the latter, the subject of the present study, is hexaplarically derived and predates, considerably, any evidence for the former. The extant hexaplaric colophons and scholia found in the books of Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy reveal that at some point the Caesarean library acquired a copy of the Samaritan Hebrew Pentateuch. This copy was then collated, quantitatively, against the hexaplaric Septuagint. Since the Samaritan text is often longer than the Septuagint due to a number of "expansions", taken from various pre-existing passages of the Pentateuch, the Caesarean critics "translated" these expansions into Greek with the aid of the Septuagint. No evidence was found that the so-called Samareitikon (i.e., Samaritans' own Greek translation) was either known to or used by the Caesarean critic. These "translations" bear no trace of Samaritan exegesis. It is hypothesized here, that the collation and "translation" was made possible through the use of the multi-columned Hexapla as a kind of analytical lexicon. Taking the results of this effort, the responsible party added these data to the margins of the Caesarean Septuagint edition. These passages were later translated into Syriac and were even adopted by some later Christian scribes as legitimate biblical readings. It is posited that Eusebius―not Origen, as has been commonly supposed―was the one responsible for this work. The study explores these data diachronically from inception to integration. The findings and analysis are relevant for the fields of biblical studies, Samaritan studies, and the study of Bible production and the praxis of textual research in early Christianity. ![]() Free Download Bryan M. Litfin, "Early Christian Martyr Stories: An Evangelical Introduction with New Translations" English | 2014 | ISBN: 080104958X | EPUB | pages: 188 | 5.7 mb Personal narratives are powerful instruments for teaching, both for conveying information and for forming character. The martyrdom accounts preserved in the literature of early Christianity are especially intense and dramatic. However, these narratives are not readily available and are often written in intimidating prose, making them largely inaccessible for the average reader. This introductory text brings together key early Christian martyrdom stories in a single volume, offering new, easy-to-read translations and expert commentary. An introduction and explanatory notes accompany each translation. The book not only provides a vivid window into the world of early Christianity but also offers spiritual encouragement and inspiration for Christian life today. ![]() Free Download "ELITE HACKER - ETHICAL HACKER" ~ A.F.: Thought, live experience and opinion notes from AHMAD FAIZUN by R Dewangga, Mayang Kurnia, Ahmad Faizun English | February 25, 2024 | ASIN: B0CTHR3YQD | 170 pages | PNG (.rar) | 26 Mb ![]() Free Download Alvaro Retana, Don Slice, "EIGRP for IP: Basic Operation and Configuration" English | 2000 | pages: 144 | ISBN: 0201657732 | EPUB | 0,9 mb (Pearson Education) A practical guide to understanding and working with EIGRP.
