Paperback. Condición: Good. Gather ?round, dear reader, for you?re about to embark on an odyssey through the tangled branches of family trees that stretch from the moors of Scotland to the lofty heights of whatever mountains the authors decided fit. ?Scots Kith and Kin? is the kind of tome that could either elevate your understanding of Scottish heritage or leave you questioning the very fabric of your existence, depending on how much whisky you?ve consumed while reading it. Authored by the illustrious CJ Cousland and Sons?who may or may not be actual kin themselves?this book promises to unravel the threads of familial connection with all the finesse of a cat playing with a ball of yarn. Spoiler: it ends up in a mess. Spiral bound, includes large decorative map of Scotland. Slithly warped due to age and damp, but otherwise remarkable condition considering its spiral bound and cheap paper. Binding still book. First page has lost about 2 inches of the spiral binding, but all other pages are attached, so quite readable, although I would imagine delicate. Published in the mysterious void of an unknown year, it seems the Cousland clan was far too busy counting their tartans to bother with things like ISBNs. And who can blame them? A family of authors dedicated to the art of chronicling kith and kin surely has more pressing matters at hand, such as debating the best way to prepare haggis or engaging in heated discussions about the superiority of bagpipes over fiddles. In this book, you?ll discover that heritage is not merely a matter of bloodlines but a raucous celebration of all things Scottish, from the battle cries of ancient clans to the modern-day struggles of finding the perfect raincoat. Expect a cavalcade of eccentric anecdotes, historical footnotes that could put even the most mundane family gatherings to shame, and perhaps a few recipes that will leave you scratching your head and reaching for the nearest takeout menu. The authors, with their flair for the dramatic, have taken it upon themselves to catalogue not just ancestors but also the many ways to serve a proper cuppa?because what?s the point of family if you can?t also bond over a biscuit dunking competition? The book is divided into charmingly incoherent sections that may or may not have been edited, depending on how much tea was consumed prior to printing. Readers can expect an abundance of delightful digressions, where extended family members are introduced with the enthusiasm usually reserved for a royal announcement. Siblings will be celebrated, cousins will be critiqued, and great-aunts will be lovingly remembered?assuming the authors could remember anything about them at all! In true Scottish fashion, some sections will make you laugh, some will make you cry, and a few might even make you question your own lineage. Did we really descend from noble warriors, or was that just a tale spun by a particularly persuasive grandparent over a few too many drams? With ?Scots Kith and Kin,? prepare for everything from tales of valiant battles (or the lack thereof) to discussions about the appropriate number of sheep one must have to consider oneself a proper Scot. It?s like ?Who Do You Think You Are?? but with a lot more sheep and a questionable amount of whisky. Condition: Good. It appears this volume has been well-loved, which is code for ?it has seen more than its fair share of tea stains and perhaps a solid tumble down a flight of stairs.? The spine may exhibit signs of character, and the cover boasts a patina that only time could bestow. Ideal for those who appreciate a book that has lived through various family gatherings and perhaps a wedding or two. It even has a few delightful notes in the margins, giving voice to a previous reader who may have also been pondering the mysteries of life and kin. In a world saturated with polished prose and overly curated family histories, ?Scots Kith and Kin? boldly stands as a testament to the chaotic and delightful nature of familial relationships. If you?re looking for a book that captures the essence of Scottish culture while also feeling like a family reunion where the uncle has had just a bit too much to drink, then this is a must-have addition to your collection. And remember, this delightful oddity can be found at Crappy Old Books, where treasures like this await you?just don?t forget to pack your sense of humour (and perhaps some biscuits). THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING.

Paperback. Condición: New. The Infancy Gospel of Thomas (or Paidika) is one of the most unusual gospels in the Christian tradition. Instead of revealing the compassionate Jesus so familiar to us from the biblical Gospels, it confronts its readers with a very different Jesus - a child who sometimes acts like a holy terror, killing and harming others for trifling faults. So why is Jesus portrayed as acting in such an 'unchristian' fashion? To address this question, Cousland focuses on three interconnected representations of Jesus in the Paidika: Jesus as holy terror, as child, and as miracle-working saviour. Cousland endeavours to show that, despite the differing character of these three roles, they present a unified picture. Jesus' unusual behaviour arises from his 'growing pains' as a developing child, who is at the same time both human and divine. Cousland's volume is the first detailed examination of the Christology of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas and provides a fresh and engaging approach to a topic not often discussed in representations of Jesus.…

Paperback. Condición: New. The role of human sacrifice in the ancient Mediterranean world and its implications continue to be topics that fire the popular imagination and engender scholarly discussion and controversy. This volume provides balanced and judicious treatments of the various facets of these topics from a cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural perspective. It provides nuanced examinations of ancient ritual, exploring the various meanings that human sacrifice held for antiquity, and examines its varied repercussions up into the modern world. The book explores evidence to shed new light on the origins of the rite, to whom these sacrifices were offered, and by whom they were performed. It presents fresh insights into the social and religious meanings of this practice in its varied biblical landscape and ancient contexts, and demonstrates how human sacrifice has captured the imagination of later writers who have employed it in diverse cultural and theological discourses to convey their own views and ideologies. It provides valuable perspectives for understanding key cultural, theological and ideological dimensions, such as the sacrifice of Christ, scapegoating,self-sacrifice and martyrdom in post-biblical and modern times.…

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. First Edition. 2001. xiii, 361pp. "This volume identifies the crowds (ochloi) in the Gospel of Matthew and explains their character and function. It argues that a proper appreciation of the crowds is essential to an understanding of salvation history in the gospel. The book identifies the crowds as Jewish, and establishes that both the positive and negative characterizations of the crowds correspond to portrayals of Israel drawn from the Hebrew Scriptures. It concludes that the crowds are also meant to be figurative for the Jewish people of Matthew's own day. New Testament scholars, particularly specialists in Matthew and the Synoptic Gospels will find the volume useful, and it will also appeal to those interested in early Jewish-Christian relations and the "parting of the ways" between the two faiths." Excellent condition. All contents are tight and clean. There are no inscriptions. …
