[183]-190) and indexes.Preliminary material -- An Overview of the Themes of this Book -- The Date of the Translation of the Pentateuch into Greek -- Demetrius of Phalerum Was a Trusted Employee of Ptolemy II -- Demetrius of Phalerum, Librarian in the Library of Ptolemy I -- Who wanted a Translation of the Pentateuch in Greek? -- Bibliography -- Appendix -- Index of Modern Authors.Ancient evidence reveals that the earliest, written translation of the Bible in Greek was completed in Alexandria in 281 BCE, probably by seventy-one scholars, invited especially from Judaea by Ptolemy II. The work was organised by Demetrius of Phalerum, the trusted librarian of Ptolemy II, and the translation was made despite Jewish opposition and the project's high cost. Ptolemy wanted the translation to increase his famous library, to attract scholars to Alexandria and to start his reign with an impressive event. The date of the translation, early in the reign of Ptolemy II, shows that the library was built by Ptolemy Lagus, and that Demetrius of Phalerum was first placed in charge.Supplements to Vetus Testamentum ;v. 82.221 s221.4/8Collins Nina L1497037MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783498303321The library in Alexandria and the Bible in Greek3722057UNINA05705oam 22010454a 450 991096017360332120240410034644.00-8147-9547-110.18574/9780814795477(CKB)3710000000343018(EBL)2081755(SSID)ssj0001457324(PQKBManifestationID)12620033(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001457324(PQKBWorkID)11440944(PQKB)10999125(MiAaPQ)EBC2081755(DE-B1597)548321(DE-B1597)9780814795477(OCoLC)913743550(MdBmJHUP)muse87070(EXLCZ)99371000000034301820131024d2009 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrWatch This!The Ethics and Aesthetics of Black Televangelism /Jonathan L.

They are on par with popular entertainers and athletes in the African American community as cultural icons even as they are criticized by others for taking advantage of the devout in order to subsidize their lavish lifestyles.For these reasons questions abound. Do televangelists proclaim the message of the gospel or a message of greed? Do they represent the "authentic" voice of the black church or the Christian Right in blackface? Does the phenomenon reflect orthodox "Christianity" or ethnocentric "Americaninity" wrapped in religious language?Watch This! seeks to move beyond such polarizing debates by critically delving into the dominant messages and aesthetic styles of African American televangelists and evaluating their ethical implications.Religion, race, and ethnicity.Television in religionfast(OCoLC)fst01146925Evangelistic workfast(OCoLC)fst00917035African AmericansReligionfast(OCoLC)fst00799689African AmericansReligionEvangelistic workUnited StatesHistory21st centuryEvangelistic workUnited StatesHistory20th centuryTelevision in religionUnited StatesUnited StatesfastUnited StatesChurch history21st centuryUnited StatesChurch history20th centuryHistoryChurch historyAfrican.American.aesthetic.beyond.critically.debates.delving.dominant.ethical.evaluating.implications.into.messages.move.polarizing.seeks.styles.such.televangelists.their.Television in religion.Evangelistic work.African AmericansReligion.African AmericansReligionEvangelistic workHistoryEvangelistic workHistoryTelevision in religion269/.2608996073Walton Jonathan L.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1027674Walton Jonathan L1027674MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910960173603321Watch This4450437UNINA
