1. 1. The Politics Of The Past

   The Representation of the Past in the Public Realm

   

   This insightful work delves into the intricate relationship between archaeology and politics, exploring how interpretations of the past are often shaped by contemporary political agendas. It examines the ways in which historical narratives are constructed, manipulated, and utilized by different groups to assert power, identity, and legitimacy. By analyzing case studies from various regions, the book highlights the ethical dilemmas faced by archaeologists and the impact of their work on modern societies. It calls for a more reflective and responsible approach to the study of history, emphasizing the need for inclusivity and sensitivity in representing diverse cultural heritages.

2. 2. The Preexistent Son

   Recovering the Christologies of Matthew, Mark, and Luke

   

   Argues that Matthew, Mark, and Luke portray Jesus as a preexistent, heavenly figure rather than merely a man exalted after his resurrection. Through analysis of the “I have come” sayings, sending motifs, Son of Man and Wisdom traditions, and key parables (such as the vineyard tenants), it contends these Gospels assume his divine origin and mission prior to birth. It situates this reading within Second Temple Jewish thought, concluding that belief in Christ’s preexistence is early and integral to Synoptic Christology.
