Averbeck here proposes a fruitful way of reading the whole of the Old Testament's law as being significant for Christians. Developing three key theses, he reads the law through the Bible's emerging covenant relationship with God to show that all of it is relevant for Christians. The question that emerges for readers of this work is not whether one part of the law might be significant, but how it is. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Trentmann (pp. 427) cites Becker for "the extension of economic theory to marriage, divorce and childrearing" at a time when "the treatment of households as units of production and consumption" was one part of a broader shift towards treating consumers as "miniature businessmen" (p. 427). Trentmann is strikingly fond of pointing out that Marx himself was addicted to consumption.

His essay addresses that puzzle through an analysis of the routes of migration and their links to trade in specific products, arguing that each merchant network is articulated in specific ways within the economy. Imperial policies were only one part of the explanation of how Indian merchants were able to build their businesses within the far-flung British empire. [Extracted from the article]

This review essay discusses the historical Zeitdiagnosen in recent scholarly literature, focusing in particular on Jérôme Baschet's Défaire la tyrannie du présent: Temporalités émergentes et futurs inédits (2018). Baschet's book constitutes an original contribution to ongoing debates about our temporal condition in at least three aspects. First, although relying partly on earlier theoretical literature (principally the works of François Hartog), it more significantly draws on the author's long‐term engagement with the Zapatista movement. Second, it does not confine itself merely to diagnosing our temporal situation (presentism) but proposes strategies for exiting it. And finally, Baschet's theory of temporality is one part of his far more extensive enterprise of "exiting capitalism," a project aimed at reconceptualizing the existing foundations of Western civilization. Although previous authors have defined our contemporary regime of temporality by focusing on the present and the disappearance of the future, Baschet claims that it is more accurate to speak about a burgeoning of futures—of completely new modalities of the future that differ significantly from modernist notions of it.

Stronger than Steel: Forging a Rust Belt Renaissance: Stronger than Steel: Forging a Rust Belt Renaissance, by Jeffrey A. Parks. In the early 1980s, Jeffrey Parks, a local attorney and civic booster, was recruited by Bethlehem's Chamber of Commerce to organize a summertime event that would attract tourists by showcasing the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century history of the area. Parks describes the public-private partnerships, zoning, and tax financing strategies used to redevelop what was one of the largest brownfield sites in the U.S. One part was for Artsquest to finance and create a performing arts center, Steelstacks, which opened in 2011 in the immediate shadow of the blast furnaces.

This article discusses the budgetary problems and subsequent library closing of Saugus Public Library in Massachusetts. The library will remain shuttered unless officials pass a trash fee that will ultimately halve the library's budget in 2008.

The article discusses two films, "Holy Smoke!" and "The Edge of the World." To make the film "The Edge of the World," its director Michael Powell sailed to Scotland's outer islands. The film was shot in 1936 on Foula, using a dozen actors and all local residents. The film dramatizes the end of a traditional farming, fishing and herding community. Like filmmakers Robert Flaherty and F.W. Murnau's film "Tabu," the film titled "The Edge of the World" is one part ethnography to two parts romance. Unseen for many years in the U.S., the film is now being re-released by Milestone Film and Video in a restored print.
