This volume gathers the perspectives of teachers in higher education from all over the world on the topic of New Testament scholarship. The goal is to understand and describe the contexts and conditions under which New Testament research is carried out throughout the world. This endeavor should serve as a catalyst for new initiatives and the development of questions that determine the future directions of New Testament scholarship. At the same time, it is intended to raise awareness of the global dimensions of New Testament scholarship, especially in relation to its impact on socio-political debates. The occasion for these reflections are not least the present questions that have been posed with the corona pandemic and have received a focus on the "system relevance" of churches, which is openly questioned by the media. The church and theology must face this challenge. Towards that end, it is important to gather impulses and suggestions for the discipline from a variety of contexts in which different dimensions of context-related New Testament research come to the fore.

Teaching Reading in the EFL Context is a course book written for pre-service and in-service English teachers, especially those working in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) environments such as Indonesia. The book offers a comprehensive overview of how reading can be effectively taught to EFL learners by blending theory with practical classroom applications. Each chapter is designed to build the reader’s knowledge and skills step by step, beginning with basic concepts and moving toward more advanced strategies and curriculum design. The book aims to equip future teachers with a solid understanding of reading instruction, as well as hands-on tools to support their students’ reading development. The book opens with Chapter 1, which introduces the concept of reading and its purposes, such as reading for pleasure and reading for learning. It explores how reading in a second or foreign language differs from reading in one's first language and discusses the role of reading in overall language acquisition. Teachers are encouraged to reflect on their personal reading experiences and examine reading habits through surveys and journals. Chapter 2 presents key models of the reading process: bottom-up, top-down, and interactive models. It also introduces cognitive and sociocultural perspectives on reading. Teachers learn how to identify these models in real lesson plans and are challenged to design a mini-lesson using one of the models. In Chapter 3, the focus shifts to reading fluency, covering components like accuracy, rate, and prosody. It contrasts extensive and intensive reading and discusses both silent reading and reading aloud. Teachers learn to design an extensive reading program and receive peer feedback on their fluency-building activities. Vocabulary and its strong connection to reading comprehension are the main focus of Chapter 4. This chapter explains the importance of vocabulary depth and breadth and explores different ways of teaching vocabulary, including pre-teaching and encouraging incidental learning. Teachers are introduced to high-frequency word lists, such as the New General Service List (NGSL), and are tasked with creating vocabulary-focused pre-reading activities. Chapter 5 discusses a range of reading comprehension strategies such as skimming, scanning, predicting, inferring, summarizing, and questioning. It introduces strategy instruction models and highlights the importance of teaching students how to use these strategies effectively. One key approach explored is Reciprocal Teaching. Teachers then apply their knowledge by designing a reading lesson centered on specific comprehension strategies. In Chapter 6, the book addresses the digital shift in reading behaviors. It explores how students read online, the skills required for digital literacy, and ways to integrate technology into the classroom through blogs, e-books, and reading apps. Teachers practice creating digital reading materials and activities suitable for EFL students. Chapter 7 focuses on content-based reading and critical literacy, encouraging teachers to use authentic texts and thematic units. It also highlights the importance of encouraging critical thinking through reading. Teachers learn to design interdisciplinary reading activities that connect reading with other subject areas. Chapter 8 explores how reading can be assessed in the EFL classroom. It covers principles of good assessment, including the use of formal and informal methods such as comprehension questions, rubrics, portfolios, and reading journals. Teachers are guided through the process of creating varied and effective reading comprehension tests. In Chapter 9, the book focuses on supporting diverse learners and addressing reading difficulties. It helps teachers understand how to diagnose challenges, differentiate instruction, and scaffold reading tasks to help students with limited literacy backgrounds. Teachers apply their knowledge by developing remedial reading plans tailored to specific learner needs. The final chapter, Chapter 10, brings together all the knowledge from previous chapters to guide teachers in designing a complete reading curriculum. It discusses how to conduct a needs analysis, set objectives, select appropriate materials, and sequence instruction. Teachers learn how to integrate reading into broader language curricula and develop a semester-long reading syllabus using materials from various sources. Each chapter includes a mix of theory, practical applications, and assessment tasks to help learners apply what they’ve studied. By the end of the book, readers will have not only a deeper understanding of reading instruction but also a set of practical tools they can use in their own classrooms. Teaching Reading in the EFL Context is both a teaching guide and a professional development resource that prepares English teachers to help their students become confident, strategic, and lifelong readers.

The scholarly study of the Old Testament is now marked by a rich diversity of approaches and concerns. In the last two decades, an interest in the text and the implications for its interpretation is no longer the preserve of a single scholarly community, while the reconstruction of the history of the people from whom it derived has been transformed by new methods. This new book published under the auspices of the Society for Old Testament Study reflects these new approaches and developments, and has a particular concentration on literary and historical study. Thus, it not only clearly recognizes the diversity now inherent in 'Old Testament study', but also welcomes the integration into its field of the wide range of approaches available in current literary and historical investigation. The study of the biblical text and how it is received and interpreted by its various readerships has a certain logical priority over the study of its historical background and authorship. Yet an ongoing investigation of issues relating to the latter cannot await definitive conclusions on the former. So, essays on the text and its reception discuss primary issues which arise in Old Testament study, while those on background and authorship reflect the continued vitality of, and the fresh perspective possible in, more traditional scholarly concerns.

The present volume comprises most of the papers delivered at RICAN 4 in 2007. The focus is placed on readers and writers in the ancient novel and broadly in ancient fiction, though without ignoring readers and writers of the ancient novel. The papers offer a wide and rich range of perspectives: the reading of novels in antiquity as a process of active engagement with the text (Konstan); the dialogic character, involving writer and reader, of Lucian's Verae Historiae (Futre Pinheiro); book divisions in Chariton's Callirhoe as prompts guiding the reader towards gradual mastery over the text (Whitmarsh); polypragmosyne (curiosity) in ancient fiction and how it affects the practice of reading novels (Hunter); the intriguing relationship between the writing and reading of inscriptions in ancient fiction (Slater); the tension between public and private in constructing and reading of texts inserted in the novelistic prose (Nimis); the intertextual pedigree of the poet Eumolpus (Smith); Seneca's Claudius and Petronius' Encolpius as readers of Homer and Virgil and writers of literary scenarios (Paschalis); the ways in which some Greek novels draw the reader's attention to their status as written texts (Bowie); the interfaces between tellers and receivers of stories in Antonius Diogenes (Morgan); the generic components and the putative author of the Alexander Romance (Stoneman); Diktys as a writer and ways of reading his Ephemeris (Dowden); the presence and character of Iliadic intertexts in Apuleius' Metamorphoses (Harrison); the contrasting roles of the narrator-translator in Apuleius' Metamorphoses and De deo Socratis (Fletcher); seriocomic strategies by Roman authors of narrative fiction and fable (Graverini & Keulen); reading as a function for recognizing 'allegorical moments' in the Metamorphoses of Apuleius (Zimmerman); active and passive reading as embedded in Philostratus' Life of Apollonius; and the importance of book reading in Augustine's 'novelistic' Confessions (Hunink).

Against the background of Socrates' insight that the unexamined life is not worth living, Reading Our Lives: The Poetics of Growing Old investigates the often overlooked inside dimensions of aging. Despite popular portrayals of mid- and later life as entailing inevitable decline, this book looks at aging as, potentially, a process of poiesis: a creative endeavor of fashioning meaning from the ever-accumulating texts - memories and reflections-that constitute our inner worlds. At its center is the conviction that although we are constantly reading our lives to some degree anyway, doing so in a mindful matter is critical to our development in the second half of life. Drawing on research in numerous disciplines affected by the so-called narrative turn - including cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and the psychology of aging - authors Randall and McKim articulate a vision of aging that promises to accommodate such time-honored concepts as wisdom and spirituality: one that understands aging as a matter not merely of getting old but of consciously growing old.

Literacy Beyond Text Comprehension aims to systematically investigate how readers interpret reading tasks within a situation, and how that interpretation influences reading behavior and comprehension. Presenting a new model of REading as problem SOLVing (RESOLV), the authors describe reading comprehension in terms of how a reader adopts goals within a particular situation that then guide what is read, when, and how. By applying the RESOLV model to a range of reading situations, this book provides evidence to suggest that there is no unitary understanding of a task, because individuals bring their own goals and characteristics to the situation; as such, it demonstrates the importance of understanding how a reader (e.g., student, test-taker, employee completing a work task) represents the context and the specific assignment. Written by internationally recognized learning sciences scholars, Literacy Beyond Text Comprehension advances the state of the art in reading research, but also seeks to inform a broader range of audiences, including those interested in the teaching and the assessment of reading.
