A tool that allows stdents of biblical Greek to read the writings of early church fathers

The apostolic fathers (late first century to mid second century) are early and important links to apostolic Christianity, although there is vigorous debate regarding their connection with the normative teachings of the primitive church. This new reference work, designed to be used alongside Michael Holmes's third edition of the Apostolic Fathers (Baker, 2007) makes these vital writings more accessible by providing students with contextually sensitive glosses of words that occur fewer than thirty times in the New Testament These definitions are presented in the order in which they occur in the texts, along with the frequency of the word in the book, to facilitate a seamless reading process. Thus, students of New Testament Greek will be able to more comfortably expand their studies to read the works of Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, the Shepherd of Hermas, Polycarp of Smyrna, Papias, and others. This work will spur many students of the New Testament to explore the writings of the apostolic fathers and wrestle with their content, theology, praxis, use of the New Testament, and devotion to the risen Lord.

Abnormal Psychology: The Science and Treatment of Psychological Disorders, 15th Edition DSM-5-TR Update

Thoroughly updated to reflect the publication of the DSM-5-TR in March 2022, Abnormal Psychology, 15th Edition, carefully balances research and clinical application while engaging learners in the complex challenges faced by clinicians and scientists every day.

With each new edition, the authors update and optimize the book to enhance its scholarly and pedagogical features and provide a critical understanding of key concepts in a style that is accessible, stimulating, and inclusive of clinical and theoretical concerns. The fifteenth edition features a new integrated approach that shines a light on the root causes and most effective treatments of psychopathologies from multiple, complementary perspectives.

Introductory chapters give students all the background they need to understand the theories, methods, and principles used in later chapters. The importance of stigma and mental illness is discussed throughout Abnormal Psychology, and never is this more important than now, when many social ills are too easily blamed on mental illness.
