It asks, who is an insider and who an outsider? Are boundaries permeable? Are there different ideas expressed within individual books? What about constructions of the (partial) 'Other' from inside, e.g., women, people whose body did not fit social constructions of normalness? It includes chapters dealing with theoretical issues and case studies, and addresses similar issues from the perspective of groups in the late Second Temple period so as to shed light on processes of continuity and discontinuity on these matters. Preliminary forms of five of the contributions were presented in Thessaloniki in 2011 in the research program, 'Production and Reception of Authoritative Books in the Persian and Hellenistic Period,' at the Annual Meeting of European Association of Biblical Studies (EABS).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-interactable-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-label-expand\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" expander-index=\"0\"\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"readInteractable\" name=\"read-less\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-icon collapse\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zvi, Ehud Ben ; Edelman, Diana Vikander","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43064115036336,"sku":"9780567248725","price":333.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/6821\/9056\/files\/414psFm-P8L._SY445_SX342.jpg?v=1704409517"},{"product_id":"our-common-manners-and-customs-as-hebrew-peoples-ancient-israelites-and-the-eboe","title":"Our Common Manners and Customs as Hebrew Peoples: Ancient Israelites and the Eboe","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-collapse\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-content\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1543490468\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"ana36v-lq1un-qbrkss-k3cr86\" data-cel-widget=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDr. Ola Udah (literal meaning: Judahs offering or Judahs ornament) Equiano (possibly ekwe alu a) was right when he identified his Eboe people as presenting same manners and customs as the Israelites of the old times as illustrated in the book of Leviticus. This study attempts to be an evidence to this assertion. It is a product of a research that began since 1983 and is barely concluded in 2018. The reader would readily realize that the research on this topic has only begun. Changes, modifications, and even eliminations of manners and customs of people through the generations make continuation of this study inevitable. This would be especially expected when examining ancient cultural issues today. Although the study did not strictly begin as another attempt to prove the identity of the Ibos as the Jews enunciated in the Old Testament designation of the children of Jacob, it has however added a relevant credence to that fact. Some of the manners and customs examined include similarities in the use of words and meanings, ritual practices, beliefs, personal attributes, and aspirations that are common to the Eboe (Heeboe, Ibu, Ibo, Igbo) peoples and the ancient Israelites. The book is basically a call for individual and collective reinvention of Eboes (and indeed worldwide Jews) for collective survival in a hostile world. The book interprets a true present-day Hebrew as the true worshipper of the I am that I amthe G-d of our fathers who singled out Abraham and Jacob, our common ancestral fathers, and chose them for a mission to the world. The book finally suggests a version of Christianity centered on YeshuaJesus the Christand his message in the New Testament, a version of Christianity that would include relevant aspects of our omenala (law) among other recommendations. This is a book no one should ignore as it should be an eye-opener to the facts relevant to finding the solution to a long-standing identity crisis of the Eboe people.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-interactable-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-label-expand\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" expander-index=\"0\"\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"readInteractable\" name=\"read-less\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-icon collapse\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nkem Emeghara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43065332039856,"sku":"9781543490466","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/6821\/9056\/files\/51li9nKEeSL._SY445_SX342.jpg?v=1704475973"},{"product_id":"100-amazing-facts-about-the-negro","title":"100 Amazing Facts About the Negro","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescription\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescription\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescription\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescription\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0307908712\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"ucxp7x-gfhz5p-3vo3i1-ithey1\" data-cel-widget=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescription\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pInfoTabsContainer\" class=\"a-tab-container pInfoTabsContainer\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"productDescription_feature_div\" data-feature-name=\"productDescription\" data-template-name=\"productDescription\" class=\"a-section feature\" data-cel-widget=\"productDescription_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-a-name=\"tab0\" class=\"a-box a-box-tab a-tab-content productInfoTabContent\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-box-inner\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"productInfoTabExpander0\" name=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" class=\"pInfoTabCExpander\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-collapse\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-content\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0307908712\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"qe5dki-kq1ua8-qb77va-mret8u\" data-cel-widget=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe first edition of Joel Augustus Rogers’s now legendary \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e100 Amazing Facts About the Negro with Complete Proof,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epublished in 1934, was billed as “A Negro ‘Believe It or Not.’” Rogers’s little book was priceless because he was delivering enlightenment and pride, steeped in historical research, to a people too long starved on the lie that they were worth nothing.
