A New Commentary on the Poems of W.B. Yeats
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 5.22 $THE NEW COMMENTARY ON THE POEMS OF W. B. YEATS is keyed to the COLLECTED POEMS and the POEMS OF W. B. YEATS: A NEW EDITION (1983) and is an invaluable reference guide to both. Founded upon the author's earlier Commentary, it adds to the material in that work and includes new commentaries on the one hundred and twenty-six poems which are collected for the first time in the POEMS OF W. BE. YEATS: A NEW EDITION. The author draws upon Yeats's manuscripts and diaries, his unpublished papers and letters as well as on his published work, particularly his autobiographical and critical writing, and the recollections of his widow, his sister Lily Yeats, and his friends and acquaintances. Books in the poet's library and in the library of the Dublin Theosophical Society have also provided evidence of the wide reading which so often informs Yeats's writing. The NEW COMMENTARY dates the composition of poems where this can be established and gives the place of their first publication. It draws attention to sources for the subjects of poems, offers explanations or interpretations of symbolism and imagery, gives details of the relevant social, historical and intellectual background and quotes apposite comment by other critics and scholars. The NEW COMMENTARY will find a ready market amongst all readers of Yeats's poetry. The author, Alexander Norman Jeffares (1920 - 2005) was an Irish literary scholar. He was Professor of English Studies at the University of Stirling and Vice-Chairman of the Scottish Arts Council. Educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Oriel College, Oxford, he taught at the Universities of Dublin, Groningen, Edinburgh, Adelaide and Leeds. He was Life-President of the International Association for the Study of Anglo-Irish Literature.

In that, my endeavor was to bring together the leading principles of that highly important branch of the science of Law in this, the principles there devel oped are connected with the forms of the proceedings, by which rights are vindicated, and wrongs are redressed, in Courts of Equity. The principles are thus seen in their actual practical ap plications; and many limitations of them, otherwise unobserved, will be easily perceived and constantly illustrated.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Commentary on Cicero, de Legibus
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 104.95 $Just as Plato drafted a vision of an ideal state in his Republic and followed that up with detailed provisions in his Laws, so Cicero -- after writing a Republic -- wanted to provide legislation for his ideal state and wrote de Legibus (the Laws) as a sequel. But while Cicero's Republic was set shortly before the death of its speaker, Scipio Africanus, in 129 b.c., his de Legibus was set in his own lifetime, thus enabling him to comment on current political events and trends. Written in the final years of the Roman Republic, de Legibus is as a work that gives Cicero's own diagnosis of the ills that had befallen the Roman state and what might be done to cure them. It is thus a document crucial to our understanding of one of the most turbulent periods of Roman history. Surprisingly, de Legibus has been one of Cicero's most neglected works. Andrew R. Dyck's commentary is the first to appear on the complete work in well over one hundred years. Dyck provides a detailed interpretation and sets the essay into the context of the politics and philosophical thought of its time. While previous commentaries focused primarily on grammar and textual criticism, this one also seeks to relate Cicero's text to the political, philosophical, and religious trends of his day. The author identifies the influences on Cicero's thinking and analyzes the relation of this theoretical treatise to his other works. This commentary is based on a new text, worked out in consultations between the author and Jonathan Powell of Royal Holloway, London. Andrew Dyck is Professor of Classics, University of California at Los Angeles.

A Commentary on Judges and Ruth (Hardback or Cased Book)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 28.34 $This definitive commentary sheds exegetical and theological light on the books of Judges and Ruth for contemporary preachers and students of Scripture. Listening closely to the text while interacting with the best of scholarship, Chisholm shows what the text mean for ancient Israel and what it means for us today. In addition to its perceptive comments on the biblical text, it examines a host of themes such as covenants and the sovereignty of God in Judges and providence, redemption, loving-kindness, and Christological typology in Ruth. Chisholm offers astute guidance to preachers and teachers wanting to do a series on Judges or Ruth by providing "homiletical trajectories" after each exegetical unit. These show how historical narrative can be presented in the pulpit and classroom, for rich, responsible sermons and lessons.

Commentary on Thomas Aquinas's Virtue Ethics
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 34.89 $Although St Thomas Aquinas famously claimed that his Summa Theologiae was written for 'beginners', contemporary readers find it unusually difficult. Now, amid a surge of interest in virtue ethics, J. Budziszewski clarifies and analyzes the text's challenging arguments about the moral, intellectual, and spiritual virtues, with a spotlight on the virtue of justice. In what might be the first contemporary commentary on Aquinas' virtue ethics, he juxtaposes the original text with paraphrase and detailed discussion, guiding us through its complex arguments and classical rhetorical figures. Keeping an eye on contemporary philosophical issues, he contextualizes one of the greatest virtue theorists in history and brings Aquinas into the interdisciplinary debates of today. His brisk and clear style illuminates the most crucial of Aquinas' writings on moral character and guides us through the labyrinth of this difficult but pivotal work.

Commentary on Saint John the Apostle and Evangelist: Homilies 1-47 (Fathers of the Church Patristic Series)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 50.34 $The Homilies on St. John's Gospel come from the period in which Chrysostom attained his greatest fame as pulpit orator, the years of his simple priesthood at Antioch (386-397). This was the peaceful period in Chrysostom's life that preceded his elevation to the episcopacy as patriarch of Constantinople (398), wherein adverse imperial and ecclesiastical reaction to his program of moral reform led to his deposition, banishment, and all by martyr's death (407). The 88 Homilies, which date from about 390, work systematically through the text of St. John's Gospel and thus form a commentary upon it. In his exposition Chrysostom reflects his youthful Antiochene training in the interpretation of Holy Scripture through his emphasis upon the literal or historical meaning of the sacred text. The exposition focuses sharply on practical morality and thus often supplies telling information about fourth-century life and times. The homilies show the flowering of Chrysostom's intensive study of rhetoric and are especially commendable for their command of imagery. The first 47 Homilies carry Chrysostom's commentary through Chap. 6.54-72; the remaining 41, extending the commentary through to the end of the Gospel, are contained in Vol. 41 of this series.

Commentary On the Gospel of John
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 49.36 $Theodore of Mopsuestia, born in Antioch (c. 350) and a disciple of Diodore of Tarsus, serves as one of the most important exemplars of Antiochene exegesis of his generation. Committed to literal, linguistic, grammatical and historical interpretation, he eschewed allegorical explanations that could not be supported from the text, though he was not averse to typological interpretations of Old Testament texts that were supported by the New. Regrettably, Theodore was dragged posthumously into the Nestorian controversy, and his works were condemned by the Three Chapters and the Council of Constantinople in 553. As a result many of his theological and exegetical works were lost or destroyed. The original Greek version of his Commentary on the Gospel of John remains only in fragments. This new English translation is based on an early complete Syriac translation dated A.D. 460-465, within forty years of Theodore?s death in 428. While charges of heterodoxy against Theodore may not be entirely justified, there remains an apparent dualism in his Christology that should be critically viewed in light of the later Chalcedonian formula. With this caution, there still remains much that is valuable for contemporary readers, whether preachers, students or lay people interested in the early church?s understanding of the Gospel of John. Here for the first time is a complete English translation of this valuable work, ably translated by Marco Conti and edited by Joel C. Elowsky. Ancient Christian Texts is a series of new translations, most of which are here presented in English for the first time. The series provides contemporary readers with the resources they need to study for themselves the key writings of the early church. The texts represented in the series are full-length commentaries or sermon series based on biblical books or extended scriptural passages.

Commentary on Ecclesiastes: With Other Treatises (Classic Reprint)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 22.43 $Excerpt from Commentary on Ecclesiastes: With Other TreatisesIt is of great importance accurately to determine the circumstances of the time at which this Book was written. In this way, not only will a sure foundation be laid for investigations respecting its authorship, but a point be secured from which we may start in endeavouring to unfold its meaning. For this latter purpose the inquiry is a specially pertinent one, inasmuch as the book evidently, in the first instance, took its occasion from passing events, was addressed to a particular generation of men, and intended for their admonition and comfort.The Author has studiously maintained a certain tone of reserve in respect of the circumstances of his time; and of design rather glanced at them, than entered into details. This explains why so many false views have been entertained of the situation of affairs, to the great prejudice of the interpretation and practical application of the book. He had two reasons for restricting himself to bare allusions to the events of his time. In the first place, he felt that though writing primarily for his own generation, his book was destined to form part of the Canonical Scriptures, and, consequently, to be of service to the Church of God in a ages. This consciousness he gives express utterance to in chap. xii. 11: "The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd." This being the case, the writer would naturally endeavour to give prominence to that which was general and eternal in its character, over that which was special and temporary, only lightly glancing at the latter, in order that his teachings might be easier of universal application. The Psalms were generally composed on the same principle.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com
