Francis Watson, Dilip Hiro

Thames & Hudson, 2002

Indeed a concise history!
A scholarly concise history of India would best describe this book. It is well illustrated with numerous black and white photographs. An ideal book if you want a quick read on India and its history right from its origins. Though I have a 1979 edition published in 1991, ...

Paul, Judaism, and the Gentiles: A Sociological Approach (Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series)

Francis Watson

Cambridge University Press, 1989

A good critique of a Lutheran Paul, a poor reconstruction of a sociological Paul
It has often been debated what exactly Paul is arguing against in Romans and Galatians. What is the "faith" vs. "works of law" controversy? The traditional approach to this question, perhaps even the "orthodox" approach after the reformation is that "Paul is attacking ...

Text and Truth: Redefining Biblical Theology
Francis Watson

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1997

Francis Watson advocates an approach in which biblical interpretation seeks to contribute directly to the work of Christian theological construction, thus restoring the status of the Bible as the holy scripture of the Christian community.

Professional ASP.NET 1.1: Updated and Tested for Final Release of ASP.NET v1.1 (Programmer to Programmer)

Alex Homer, Dave Sussman, ...

Wiley Publishing, Inc., 2004

Thorough, good examples, screenshot heavy
This is one of those great all-in-one tome books. Some of which are great, like this one. While others are little more than doorstops. The text is well written, though, like most Wrox books it relies heavily on code to do most of the exposition. Almost every topic you ...

Wallenstein; Soldier Under Saturn
Francis Watson

Scholar's Bookshelf, 2006

Still in many ways the most important biographical study in English of the great general of the Thirty Years War, tracing his life from indigent nobleman through glory and prestige, to his tragic assassination. The book provides an exhaustive account of the Thirty Years War, its background, the roles of such figures as Duke Maximilian, ...

Paul, Judaism, and the Gentiles: Beyond the New Perspective

Francis Watson

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2007

Good-bye, New Perspective
Imagine a fiercely anti-Lutheran book on Paul, revised years after its author came to believe the New Perspective was equally misguided, yet ending up essentially unaltered, its thesis intact. Is that even possible? Amazingly, yes. This is the book -- now subtitled ...

Paul And The Hermeneutics Of Faith

Francis Watson

T. & T. Clark Publishers, 2004

A must-read for students of the Bible
Professor Watson is one of the most consistently overlooked, but truly great, Pauline scholars working today. In the generation after Dunn, Sanders and Wright, I don't know of anyone else who is as good an interpreter of the New Testament who has as strong a grasp of ...

Wrox, 2002

You'd think it would be more help
I got this when it was basically the only book out there. Since then, whenever I have an ASP.NET problem I open this book, search vainly through the 1300 pages for coherent help, then give up and go to google groups. With all that writing you'd think that I would ...
