"In this moving exegesis of the gospel of Mark, Mexican theologian and biblical scholar José Cárdenas Pallares explores the disquieting message of Jesus Christ, effectively demonstrating how Jesus' identification with poor and outcast persons--lepers, women, cripples, tax collectors--was seen as subversive by political and religious authorities. The author unravels the liberative dimension of Jesus' words and miracles, and traces the response of Jesus' detractors from mere indignation to spirited agitation for his death. Engagingly written and cogently argued, this study is a valuable tool for students and scholars interested in Jesus' emancipatory proclamation for the poor of both the first and twentieth centuries."--Back cover

Hesiod describes himself as a Boeotian shepherd who heard the Muses call upon him to sing about the gods. His exact dates are unknown, but he has often been considered a younger contemporary of Homer. This volume of the new Loeb Classical Library edition offers a general introduction, a fluid translation facing an improved Greek text of Hesiod's two extant poems, and a generous selection of testimonia from a wide variety of ancient sources regarding Hesiod's life, works, and reception. In Theogony Hesiod charts the history of the divine world, narrating the origin of the universe and the rise of the gods, from first beginnings to the triumph of Zeus, and reporting on the progeny of Zeus and of goddesses in union with mortal men. In Works and Days Hesiod shifts his attention to the world of men, delivering moral precepts and practical advice regarding agriculture, navigation, and many other matters; along the way he gives us the myths of Pandora and of the Golden, Silver, and other Races of Men.
