Ritual, Women, and Philippi

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“An important contribution to feminist scholarship, this work offers ritual studies as a way of finding the women of Philippi who have been hidden away by androcentric texts and writers. There is a model here that ought to be replicated in other locations.”

The Parables of Jesus the Galilean

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this collection of essays, the van Eck project--a social scientifically informed 'realistic reading' of the parables--is on full display. It represents a worthy and timely contribution to the long-standing and sometimes stagnant history of parable research.”

The Quest for the Fictional Jesus

Arts & Literature

“A book-length study of representations of Jesus in fiction is long overdue, and this one serves as an erudite and creative benchmark.”
