Glenn Davies - Böcker

An inquiry-based approach to the study of History, updated for the new syllabus. Senior Ancient History for Queensland Second Edition provides up-to-date syllabus content and assessment preparation to ensure students are fully prepared for success in QCE Senior History. New content covers the Persian Wars and Cleopatra (digital only) and in Unit 2 Perikles is now included in the print textbook. Each chapter is now structured around the contextual, depth and concluding studies, activity questions now include subheadings advising of the objective or skill being addressed and a dedicated digital assessment chapter supports students in formulating the answers to achieve their best results. The interactive textbook features additional chapters, videos, note-taking and bookmarking.

This study is a fresh approach to Paul's Epistle to the Romans. Taking Paul's Jewish background seriously, it challenges the prevailing consensus that Paul's object in the first three chapters is to conclude that everyone is under the power of sin. Davies shows that in Paul's thinking there has always been a category of the righteous, those who live by faith and express their faith in obedience. Paul's indictment of Jews and Gentiles, therefore, is an indictment of only the wicked among Jews and Gentiles, not of the righteous.
