What role does God play in relation to the deceptions that pervade the Jacob cycle? What has not been investigated is the way God may factor into this deceptive activity. The book of Genesis contains a latent tension: Jacob is both a brazen trickster who deceives members of his own family and YHWH's chosen, from whom the entire people of Israel derive and for whom they are named. How is one to reconcile this tension? This dissertation investigates the phenomenon of divine deception in the Jacob cycle (Gen 25-35). The primary thesis is that YHWH both uses and engages in deception for the perpetuation of the ancestral promise (Gen 12:1-3), giving rise to what Anderson has dubbed a theology of deception. Through a literary hermeneutic, emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between both how the text means and what the text means, with theological aims, this study examines the various manifestations of YHWH as Trickster in the Jacob cycle. Attention is given to how the multiple deceptions evoke, advance, and at times fulfill the ancestral promise. In Gen 25-28 YHWH engages in deception to insure Jacob receives the ancestral promise. Here Jacob is seen cutting his deceptive teeth by extorting the right of the firstborn from Esau and the paternal blessing from Isaac. YHWH, however, also plays the role of Trickster through an utterly ambiguous oracle to Rebekah in Gen 25:23, which drives the human deceptions. At Bethel (Gen 28:10-22) Jacob receives the ancestral promise from YHWH, in effect corroborating the earlier deceptions. In Gen 29-31 YHWH uses the many deceptions perpetrated between Jacob and Laban to advance the ancestral promise in the areas of progeny, blessing to the nations, and land. Lastly, in Gen 32-35 YHWH participates in Jacob's final deception of Esau (Gen 33:1-17) through two encounters Jacob has, first with the "messengers of God" and second with God. Jacob's tricking of Esau during their reconciliation results in Jacob's return to the promised land. Can anyone out-trick the Divine Trickster? Anderson thus rightly gives due attention to the Old Testament's image of God as dynamic, subversive, and unsettling, appreciating the complex and intricate ways that YHWH interacts with his people. This witness to YHWH's engagement in deception stands alongside and informs the biblical portrait of YHWH as trustworthy and a God who does not lie.

In this treatise (according to its incipit called "I Am Amazed"), Shenoute of Atripe, the famous Coptic archimandrite who died after 451, defends the orthodox doctrine against numerous "heretical" doctrines ranging from Origen and his followers to Arius, gnostic teachers and to Nestorius, his contemporary. Based on the studies of T. Orlandi and St. Emmel, Cristea provides the first edition of all the relevant manuscripts with a German translation of this work which is significant for the history of the church and its doctrine in fifth-century Egypt. The introduction, explanatory notes and extensive indexes will aid the philological and linguistic analysis of the text. In his work, Shenoute incorporated the 16th festal letter of Theophilus of Alexandria, preserved in its entirety in Jerome's translation. A comparison of this Latin version with the Coptic (and the few existing Greek) fragments raises interesting questions concerning both the original and the reception of Theophilus' letter. Schenute von Atripe (gest. nach 451), der berühmte Archimandrit und bedeutendste Autor der koptischen Originalliteratur, verteidigt in diesem Traktat die orthodoxe Lehre gegen eine Vielzahl abweichender Strömungen, die von Origenes über Arius und verschiedene gnostische Lehren bis zu seinem Zeitgenossen Nestorius reichen und nach wie vor die monastische Disziplin und Frömmigkeit bedrohen. Nach der Erstedition durch T. Orlandi und der Zuordnung weiterer Textzeugen (sowie der Ermittlung des Incipit: "I Am Amazed") durch St. Emmel legt Hans-Joachim Cristea hier erstmals eine urkundengetreue Edition aller Handschriften mit deutscher Übersetzung vor. In der Einleitung liegt ein Schwerpunkt auf dem Nachweis der Quellen; die Anmerkungen und die Indizes dienen vor allem der philologischen und linguistischen Erschließung des koptischen Textes. Ein Teil des Werks ist der 16. Osterfestbrief des Theophilus von Alexandria, dessen lateinische Fassung des Hieronymus hier mit der koptischen Version verglichen wird.

Fathers in the fifties tend to be portrayed as wise and genial pipe-smokers or distant, emotionless patriarchs. This common but limited stereotype obscures the remarkable diversity of their experiences and those of their children. To uncover the real story of fatherhood during this transformative era, Ralph LaRossa takes the long view-from the attack on Pearl Harbor up to the election of John F. Kennedy-revealing the myriad ways that World War II and its aftermath shaped men. Offering compelling accounts of people both ordinary and extraordinary, Of War and Men digs deep into the terrain of fatherhood. LaRossa explores the nature and aftereffects of combat, the culture of fear during the Cold War, the ways that fear altered the lives of racial and sexual minorities, and how the civil rights movement affected families both black and white. Overturning some calcified myths, LaRossa also analyzes the impact of suburbanization on fathers and their kids, discovering that living in the suburbs often strengthened their bond. And finally, looking beyond the idealized dad enshrined in TV sitcoms, Of War and Men explores the brutal side of family life in the postwar years. LaRossa's richly researched book dismantles stereotypes while offering up a fascinating and incisive chronicle of fatherhood in all its complexity.
