Prophecy and Politics in South African Pentecostalism
This book is an interdisciplinary study of the relationship between prophecy and politics in South African Pentecostalism. The role and the power of prophecy in enhancing the presence of politicians in the church square are unpacked through historical examples, as well as case studies of contemporary prophets. Solomon Kgatle argues that the influence of prophecy in politics has the potential to weaken the prophetic voice of the church in general and the Pentecostal movement in particular. He proposes a Pentecostal political theology of prophecy. This theology is developed by taking into cognizance the theoretical and theological frameworks of prophetic imagination and pneumatological imagination. In addition, this theology seeks a balance between prophecy and power and prophecy and sovereignty.

Frihed, lighed og privat velfærd
Antallet af private velfærdsløsninger vokser. De seneste 20 år har markant flere danskere valgt privat lønsikring, privatskole til børnene eller en privat sundhedsforsikring til hele familien. Frihed, lighed og privat velfærd stiller skarpt på den private velfærd: Hvor hurtigt vokser de private løsninger? Hvor og hvordan møder danskerne dem i hverdagen, og hvor meget fylder de faktisk? Kommer de rige og raske til at køre på første klasse, mens de fattige og svage efterlades på perronen? Eller kan de nye private tilbud sikre, at flere får bedre og mere velfærd? Bogen fortæller den samlede historie om privat velfærd. Med udgangspunkt i helt nye tal, konkrete eksempler og brugbare modeller diskuterer forfatterne drivkræfterne for privat velfærd på de områder, som står højest på danskernes velfærdsdagsorden: sundhed, arbejdsmarked, pensionistliv og uddannelsesområdet. Dermed er bogen et væsentligt bidrag til debatten om fremtidens velfærd.
