Concordance grecque des pseudépigraphes d’Ancien Testament: concordance, Corpus des textes, indices /par Albert-Marie Denis ; avec la collaboration d’Yvonne Janssens et le concours du CETEDOC. This monumental book is more than a Concordance: it is a statistical analysis, a concordance and a text-edition in one volume. This sophisticated and beautifully-produced work will prove useful to anyone working with the various pseudepigrapha preserved in Greek and be an indispensable tool for all students of ancient Judaism. Recommended for every research institution’s library.

 Fight direction for stage and screen /William Hobbs ; forewords by Laurence Olivier and Roman Polanski. Hobbs has now revised his classic Techniques of the Stage Fight to incorporate his extensive experience and increased expertise in this field. He offers guidelines for the preparation of fight scenes in all forms of media, with special focus given to the stage and with screen combat discussed separately. The author shows how to make a fight scene an integral part of the play: by creating and selecting moves which relate to the character, by sharpening the performer’s skill and by forwarding the story. There are chapters on: analysis and construction, movement and shapes, fight orchestration, safety, basic movements, battles, the author’s own fight notation system and much more.

 Gabriel Marcel the dramatist /[by] Hilda Lazaron. Marcel, who died in 1973, was essentially a philosophical dramatist; his plays deal with ideological conflicts, with man’s relation to the universe and its laws, and his reaction to two world wars and the worlds they created.

Our elders speak: tribute to native elders /Karie Garnier. This photographic essay on the Indian elders of Canada includes brief biographies and traditional knowledge and folklore.

 Putting together the puzzle of the New Testament /Bill Jones. Imagine that the New Testament was a 1,000 piece puzzle. It’s easier to figure out what you’re putting together if you have the picture on the box to go by and the corners and straight edges as guides. The chapters in this book provide the puzzle’s box cover, corners and straight-edged pieces, demystifying the whole picture of what you are assembling. Armed with these advantages, when you read or study New Testament passages, you will easily understand how the puzzle fits together.

Putting together the puzzle of the Old Testament /Bill Jones. This book is ideal for those who have little or no familiarity with the Old Testament or for pastors and lay leaders to help teach a better understanding of the Old Testament.
