Perhaps the most spectacular of all Greek vases the Sarpedon krater depicts the body of Sarpedon a hero of the Trojan War being carried away to his homeland for burial It was decorated some 2500 years ago by Athenian artist Euphronios and its subsequent history involves tomb raiding intrigue duplicity litigation international outrage and possibly even homicide How this came about is told by Nigel Spivey in a concise stylish book that braids together the creation and adventures of this extraordinary object with an exploration of its abiding influence nbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbsp Spivey takes the reader on a dramatic journey beginning with the kraters looting from an Etruscan tomb in 1971 and its acquisition by the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York followed by a highprofile lawsuit over its status and its eventual return to Italy He explains where how and why the vase was produced retrieving what we know about the life and legend of Sarpedon Spivey also pursues the figural motif of the slain Sarpedon portrayed on the vase and traces how this motif became a standard way of representing the dead and dying in Western art especially during the Renaissance Fascinating and informative The Sarpedon Krater is a multifaceted introduction to the enduring influence of Greek art on the world nbsp

A significant event in Derrida scholarship this book marks the first publication of his longlost philosophical text known only as Geschlecht III The third and arguably the most significant piece in his fourpart Geschlecht series it fills a gap that has perplexed Derrida scholars The series centers on Martin Heidegger and the enigmatic German word Geschlecht which has several meanings pointing to race sex and lineage Throughout the series Derrida engages with Heideggers controversial oeuvre to tease out topics of sexual difference nationalism race and humanity In Geschlecht III he calls attention to Heideggers problematic nationalism his works political and sexual themes and his promise of salvation through the coming of the One Geschlecht a sentiment that Derrida found concerningly close to the racial ideology of the Nazi party Amid new revelations about Heideggers antiSemitism and the contemporary context of nationalist resurgence this third piece of the Geschlecht series is timelier and more necessary than ever Meticulously edited and expertly translated this volume brings Derridas mysterious and much awaited text to light nbsp

How and when did Jesus and the Spirit come to be regarded as fully God The Birth of the Trinity offers a new historical approach by exploring the way in which first and secondcentury Christians read the Old Testament in order to differentiate the one God as multiple persons The earliest Christians felt they could metaphorically overhear divine conversations between Father Son and Spirit when reading the Old Testament When these snatches of dialogue are connected and joined they form a narrative about the unfolding interior divine life as understood by the nascent church What emerges is not a static portrait of the triune God but a developing story of divine persons enacting mutual esteem voiced praise collaborative strategy and selfsacrificial love The presence of divine dialogue in the New Testament and early Christian literature shows that contrary to the claims of James Dunn and Bart Ehrman among others the earliest Christology was the highest Christology as Jesus was identified as a divine person through Old Testament interpretation
