Roman Sculpture in Context
This volume tackles a pressing issue in Roman art history: that many sculptures conventionally used in our scholarship and teaching lack adequate information about their find locations. Questions of context are complex, and any theoretical and methodological reframing of Roman sculpture demands academic transparency.This volume is dedicated to privileging content and context over traditions of style and aesthetics.Through case studies, the chapters illustrate multivariate ways to contextualize ancient objects.The authors encourage Roman art historians to look beyond conventional interpretations; to reclaim from the study of Greek sculpture the Roman originals that are too often relegated to discussions of "copies" and "models"; to consider the multiple, dynamic, and shifting contexts that one sculpture could experience over the centuries of its display; and to recognize that post-antique receptions can also offer insight into interpretations of ancient viewers. The collected topics were originally presented in three conference sessions: "Grounding Roman Sculpture" (Archaeological Institute of America, 2019); "Ancient Sculpture in Context" (College Art Association, 2017); and "Ancient Sculpture in Context II: Reception" (College Art Association, 2019).

Context
Album Review: EYE FLYS Context EYE FLYS' latest offering, Context, is a veritable whirlwind of noise and chaos that is as exhilarating as it is disorienting. The band, helmed by the enigmatic frontman Buzz Killington, have crafted a sonic landscape that feels like a punk rock fever dream, with distorted guitars and pounding drums colliding in a cacophony of sound that is equal parts thrilling and overwhelming. From the opening track, "Buzzsaw", it's clear that EYE FLYS are not here to play nice. The relentless energy of the music is matched only by Killington's ferocious vocals, which veer from guttural screams to anguished wails with reckless abandon. It's a sonic assault on the senses that demands your attention and refuses to let go. Tracks like "Gutter" and "Wasteland" see the band delving into darker, more atmospheric territory, with ominous, swirling guitars creating a sense of unease that is palpable. Killington's lyrics are cryptic and enigmatic, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the already chaotic soundscapes. But it's not all doom and gloom on Context. Tracks like "Sunshine" and "Rainbow" inject a much-needed dose of levity into the proceedings, with catchy hooks and infectious melodies that are impossible to resist. It's a welcome reprieve from the relentless intensity of the rest of the album, offering a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak musical landscape. Overall, Context is a wild ride from start to finish, a rollercoaster of sound and emotion that will leave you breathless and craving more. EYE FLYS have once again proven themselves to be masters of their craft, pushing boundaries and defying expectations at every turn. Take a listen, if you dare.

Jesus in Context : Making Sense of the Historical Figure
Jesus changed our world forever. But who was he and what do we know about him? David Wenham's accessible volume is a concise and wide-ranging engagement with that enduring and elusive subject.Exploring the sources for Jesus and his scholarly reception, he surveys information from Roman, Jewish, and Christian texts, and also examines the origins of the gospels, as well as the evidence of Paul, who had access to the earliest oral traditions about Jesus.Wenham demonstrates that the Jesus of the New Testament makes sense within the first century CE context in which he lived and preached.He offers a contextualized portrait of Jesus and his teaching; his relationship with John the Baptist and the Qumran community (and the Dead Sea Scrolls); his ethics and the Sermon on the Mount, his successes and disappointments.Wenham also brings insights into Jesus' vision of the future and his understanding of his own death and calling.
