The Stoning of Sally Kern
Recounts the Oklahoma State Representative's speech sharing some revelations about a homosexual political strategy and the aftermath of hate mail and media coverage.
As Resident Aliens
"As the crucifixes drenched with Jewish blood drop from our hands, we stand impotent and wordless before this tragedy of Israel and Palestine...In the name of the crucified Messiah, we must struggle against the conditions which make history a trail of crucifixions. Only then, in solidarity with Jews and Palestinians, can we dream of Messianic times, of a shalom without victims." With these words, theologian Rosemary Radford Reuther laid out the pitfalls for Christians entering the arena of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Nevertheless, in 1995, a small cohort of pacifist Christians decided to paddle against the currents of history, against the crusades, pogroms, and colonial enterprises of ...
A Reasonable Christian Faith
In A Reasonable Christian Faith, Daniel Kern makes a case that it is possible to be a reasonable person and hold Christian faith. Drawing on classic philosophical sources, Kern establishes the reasonability of belief in a God. Then, drawing on the life and words of Jesus, he outlines what a Christian faith consists of. While numbers of people who claim to be Christians act in unchristian manners, and numbers of people hold that all religious belief is unreasonable, Kern claims that both excesses are incorrect and that there is a way to tread a line between them.
Modernism After the Death of God
Modernism After the Death of God explores the work of seven influential modernists. Friedrich Nietzsche, James Joyce, D. H. Lawrence, André Gide, and Martin Heidegger criticized the destructive impact that they believed Christian sexual morality had had or threatened to have on their love life. Although not a Christian, Freud criticized the negative effect that Christian sexual morality had on his clinical subjects and on Western civilization, while Virginia Woolf condemned how her society was sanctioned by a patriarchal Christian authority. All seven worked to replace the loss or absence of Christian unity with non-Christian unifying projects in their respective fields of philosophy, psychiatry, or literature. The basic structure of their main contributions to modernist culture was a dynamic interaction of radical fragmentation necessitating radical unification that was always in process and never complete.
Extreme Nonlinear Optics with Spatially Controlled Light Fields
As in all nonlinear optics, control over the spatial phase of the fundamental light fields allows extensive influence on the well-established effect of High-Har monic Generation (HHG). This results in the realisation of coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) light with unique properties. Christian Kern shows and discusses in his thesis two schemes where phase shaping of ultrashort laser pulses is appli ed on scales below their fundamental wavelength. He shows the limitations of how nanoplasmonic objects can be administered for strong field physics. Furthermore, a novel approach of producing XUV light carrying orbital angular momentum via HHG is demonstrated and experimentally verified.
In Harm's Way
In 1984 Evangelicals for Social Action founder Ron Sider posed the questions, What would happen if we in the Christian church developed a new nonviolent peacekeeping force ready to move into violent conflicts and stand peacefully between warring parties? . . . Everyone assumes that for the sake of peace it is moral and just for soldiers to get killed by the hundreds of thousands, even millions. Do we not have as much courage and faith as soldiers? Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) has been trying to answer those questions since 1986. CPT has responded to invitations from grassroots organizers on five continents who are using nonviolent strategies to confront systemic oppression. This book provides a glimpse into the mistakes and successes, the triumphs and tragedies, that teams have shared in with local co-workers in various nations. It also continues to pose the question, What would happen if CPT's efforts were multiplied by millions of Christians with a radical commitment to Jesus's nonviolent gospel?
Christian Kern
Wie er tickt, was er will, wie er regiert Als Christian Kern zum Bundeskanzler aufstieg, ging ein Ruck durch das Land: Nicht wenige hatten einen technokratischen Manager erwartet, doch Kern versprach: "Wir wollen die Fenster aufmachen und frische Luft hereinlassen." Wer ist der neue Kanzler und SPÖ-Vorsitzende? Wie tickt er, woher kommt er, wofür brennt er? Kann er es schaffen, die müde Traditionspartei der Sozialdemokratie zu entstauben? Der Autor Robert Misik hat seit den ersten Tagen von Kerns Kanzlerschaft einzigartige Einblicke hinter die Kulissen und führt für dieses politische Porträt viele Gespräche mit dem Kanzler, seinem Team, seinen Weggefährten. Ein Porträt aus der Nähe, in dem Kerns Pläne für eine radikale politische Erneuerung deutlich werden.
Jacob’s Story as Christian Scripture
Jacob is all too often underappreciated in works on biblical theology. He nevertheless stands squarely in the line of promise and is the man who becomes Israel. His blessings come not because he is virtuous but because God remains faithful. In this, his story contributes to the themes of Genesis and of the Pentateuch as a whole, and extends into the life of the church. Jacob's Story as Christian Scripture begins with a reading of Genesis 25 to 35, and then moves beyond the boundaries of Genesis to track the words he pronounces over his twelve sons. Jacob's blessings give shape to Balaam's oracles and ultimately to subsequent prophecies concerning the lion of the tribe of Judah. Prophetic appropriation of Jacob's story, presented here via a fresh investigation of OT passages from Jeremiah, Obadiah, Micah, and others, includes troubling elements of Jacob's character to indict the nation--in the hope that God's people, like the patriarch, will stop being Jacob and become Israel.
Space Tessellations
Tackling a topic that has particular appeal in the age of digital design, this well-founded introduction to the subject of parquet deformation fills a gap. These subtle, intricate geometric transformations, best known through the "Metamorphosis" series by M. C. Escher, were introduced to design curricula by American professor William S. Huff in the 1960s. The book brings together scholarly articles by the most important authors in the field and material collected in the archives of the Ulm School of Design in Germany, juxtaposed with extensive illustrations of two- and three-dimensional works created at the Vienna University of Technology. Written for anyone interested in the fields of design and geometry, this book aims to inform and inspire.
