Israel and the new covenant

The two great covenants that we call the Old and New Testaments, which are associated with the points in history known as Sinai and Calvary, are the two great mountain peaks of history, of revelation, and of the one true faith. These are the two focal points of this study—subject, of course, to the one supreme fact that the long-promised Messiah, as already come, stands at the center of all history, as well as of biblical revelation. The divinely ordained covenants of which we read in Holy Scripture must be seen as significant landmarks in the history of the human race; their true place and function in the whole panorama of spiritual redemption must be more clearly understood. The covenants must be seen as the basis of a framework of redemptive revelation into which every vital detail of Scripture will neatly fit. In these great covenants we are, in short, confronted with transactions and implications of tremendous importance for the church and for the world. This study, begun during another, earlier period of economic depression, concerns the more practical and historical aspects of the covenants and their bearing upon the closely related subject of Messianic prophecy and its fulfillment. The position taken is that a peaceful and prosperous future for this sin-cursed world cannot be realized until there is a clearer understanding of the covenants and a more consistent application of covenant truth in the everyday life of the Christian and the church.

Situated between myth and history, the Shang has been hailed both as China's first historical dynasty and as one of the world's primary civilizations. This book is an up-to-date synthesis of the archaeological, palaeographic and transmitted textual evidence for the Shang polity at Anyang (c.1250-1050 BCE). Roderick Campbell argues that violence was not the antithesis of civilization at Shang Anyang, but rather its foundation in war and sacrifice. He explores the social economy of practices and beliefs that produced the ancestral order of the Shang polity. From the authority of posthumously deified kings, to the animalization of human sacrificial victims, the ancestral ritual complex structured the Shang world through its key institutions of war, sacrifice, and burial. Mediated by hierarchical lineages, participation in these practices was basic to being Shang. This volume, which is based on the most up-to-date evidence, offers comprehensive and cutting-edge insight into the Chinese Bronze Age civilization.

This collection of essays begins with the premise that violence, in its relationship to order, is a central element of history. Taking a broad definition of violence, including structural and symbolic violence, the contributions move beyond the problematic of civilization’s mitigating or foundational role, instead seeing violence as inherently social, and, perhaps, socially inherent (if variable). The question then becomes what forms of harm are authorized or banned in which social orders and how they change over time. Beginning with a theoretical introduction, this interdisciplinary volume includes seven papers representing cultural anthropology, history, archaeology and international relations. The papers range from China to the Americas and from the 2nd millennium BCE to the 21st century CE. Some deal with long-term developments while others focus on a single time and place. Many treat the issue of the visibility/invisibility of violence, while all in one way or another deal with the role of violence in the re-production of community. Together, the volume aims to paint, with a few strokes, the outlines of a deep historical anthropology of social violence. The volume is based on the proceedings of a symposium hosted at Brown University. Table of Contents Contents: 1.
