Book Description
This remarkable first novel from award-winning short fiction writer Ken Scholes will take readers away to a new world—an Earth so far in the distant future that our time is not even a memory; a world where magick is commonplace and great areas of the planet are impassable wastes. But human nature hasn't changed through the ages: War and faith and love still move princes and nations. In Lamentation, the first entry in the Psalm of Isaak series, an ancient weapon has completely destroyed the city of Windwir. From many miles away, Rudolfo, Lord of the Nine Forest Houses, sees the horrifying column of smoke rising. He knows that war is coming to the Named Lands. Nearer to the Devastation, a young apprentice is the only survivor of the city—he sat waiting for his father outside the walls, and was transformed as he watched everyone he knew die in an instant. Soon all the Kingdoms of the Named Lands will be at each others' throats, as alliances are challenged and hidden plots are uncovered.

Book Description
"This study will draw insights from cross-cultural comparisons of ancient love poetry and from research on oral poetic performative art still practiced by traditional cultures today. Composed as love poetry, the Song of Songs is rooted in popular culture; it did not arise in a formal religious setting and was not originally performed in the temple. Essential in this study of the Song is close attention to translation of the Hebrew, the dynamics of Hebrew biblical poetry, including a feature of ancient "gendered" composing, and other rhetorical techniques. All of this contributes to seeing and hearing the extraordinary artistic beauty and sophistication of the lyrics in the Song and their timeless quality.These lament Psalms (as is true for Lamentations) also contain appeals to God for help, which is the other genre of lament-lament as prayerful plea or petition. The qînôt, as communal laments for destruction, are also found in Mesopotamia and other cultures worldwide"--

Book Description
Irene Nowell's lively and thoughtful exploration of these poetic and powerful books promises to ignite appreciation and understanding in the hearts and minds of readers. The five books abound with vivid stories of faith. The Song of Songs, dedicated to Solomon, celebrates the wonder of human love. The book of Ruth, a masterpiece of storytelling, tells of two valiant women who move from emptiness to fullness, desolation to redemption. Lamentations, telling of the destruction of Jerusalem, recognizes that the Lord has struck and that only the Lord can heal. Ecclesiastes teaches the futility of vanity and storing up riches. The book of Esther tells the story of a Jewish woman and her uncle who, by their courage and wit, deliver the Jews from threatened genocide. Gathered together and artfully explored, this volume offers readers a wealth of information to inspire deeper understanding of the human journey and God's presence in the lives of those who trust in him.

Each section of the commentary includes: Pericope Bibliography—a helpful resource containing the most important works that pertain to each particular pericope.

Comment—verse-by-verse interpretation of the text and dialogue with other interpreters, engaging with current opinion and scholarly research.
