T.J. Denton's The Big Payback is a unique chronicle of the success achieved by an honest man who faithfully served his country during wartime, saving lives in the process. Thomas Dugnal, a former Marine, is a father of four with lovely wife, Beverly, whom he adores. Through hard work and diligence over the years, Thomas and Beverly have built several successful businesses, including T&B Fitness Center. Finally, after all their years of living right and working hard, they were just about to take their fitness business national, but one night - one mistake - and, in the blink of an eye, it all changed. They lost everything...their whole world was turned upside down and their family in danger. Thomas masterminds a plan to take back what is his and, with the support of his trusted company of former Marines, goes on an intense, complicated mission. This is when the adrenaline flows as they place this dangerous plot into action. You won't believe how this all plays out...
This book proposes that the "Gospel of Thomas" depends on the second-century Syriac "Diatessaron," rules out Thomas as a meaningful source for Historical Jesus research, and suggests links between Thomas and other literature of the ancient near east. Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org).
"Since its discovery the Gospel of Thomas has been the subject of intense study for those with interests in the developments of earliest Christianity. Three questions remain unanswered in contemporary scholarship: (1) When was Thomas composed?; (2) What is the relationship between Thomas and the canonical Gospels?; (3) What theological outlook is presented in the Gospel of Thomas? This volume provides a comprehensive overview of recent scholarly opinions on these three questions" -- Amazon.com.
Der Band verdeutlicht die großen ökonomische Chancen assistiver Technologien, analysiert bisherige Erfahrungen mit der Nutzereinbindung in der Technikentwicklung, und diskutiert auf dieser Grundlage Empfehlungen für die Entwicklung assistiver Technik. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Entwicklung neuer Technologien im Kontext des demographischen Wandels wie auch deren erfolgreiche Vermarktung nur gelingen kann, wenn auch sozialwissenschaftliche Befunde und Perspektiven Berücksichtigung finden: Die Technik muss Probleme des Alltags – der älteren Menschen selbst oder des Versorgungsalltags – aufgreifen, diesen Alltag in seinem Vollzug berücksichtigen und letztlich erleichtern oder verbessern.
Roukema sets out to investigate and assess the various views of Jesus in early Christianity, basing his approach on a distinction between historical and theological statements about Jesus.
The aim of this comparative study is theory building. Propositions, indicators and research questions are derived from a typology of explanatory variables. The research design is applied to eight conflict resolution processes in Southern Africa. An analysis of bivariate covariation, variable interaction and causal patterns in the cases is used to transform the typology into a preliminary theory.
