Meer oor PJ van der Merwe
"e;Saam met Berigte uit die Dorsland het die historikus se dogter, Margaretha Schaefer, ook Meer oor P.J. van der Merwe saamgestel. Dit vorm as't ware 'n tweeluik. Baie interessant is onder meer koerantberigte oor Van der Merwe se openbare optredes in 1940 terwyl die Tweede Wereldoorlog gewoed het. Hy was toe nog nie 30 jaar oud nie en het pas teruggekeer van Nederland waar hy sy doktorale studies afgehandel het ... In die bundel is verskeie resensies opgeneem wat Van der Merwe oor leidende historici se werk geskryf het. Dit sluit ook in evaluasies van ander historici van sy werk en van die dosente in die Geskiedenis-departement aan die U.S., waarvan hy van 1955 tot 1977 die effektiewe hoof was ... 'n Opstel deur F.A. van Jaarsveld, waarin hy Van der Merwe en sy werk ontleed, is een van die mees uitstaande bydraes van hierdie historikus. Dit is egter die essay getitel Trek, deur die Australiese historikus W.K. Hancock, wat in die tydskrif, The Economic History Review, gepubliseer is, wat beter as alle ander pogings slaag om die unieke bydrae van Van der Merwe tot die Suid-Afrikaanse historiografie te beskryf en te ontleed."e; - Hemann Giliomee
Christology and Discipleship in John 17
Jesus' prayer in John 17, known as "Jesus' High Priestly Prayer," is significant for its literary context, and it is rich in theological content. It brings Jesus' farewell speech to its climax and anticipates his glorification in his death on the cross. Although historical approaches often consider this passage to be a later addition, its content is truly Johannine. It presents Jesus as the Son who is sent into the world to reveal the Father to the world. It also illumines John's understanding of authentic discipleship. Consequently, John 17 is rich in its teaching on discipleship as well as in its teaching on Christology. The theme of discipleship in John has received significant attention ...
Togetherness in South Africa
Race and inequality have always been sensitive topics in South African society due to its colonial past, diverse social composition and apartheid legacy of legal discrimination against people on the basis of their skin colour. Racial tensions seem to be escalating in South African society and disturbing racialised rhetoric and slogans are re-entering the political and social landscape. Another disturbing phenomenon has been violent incidents of xenophobia against African immigrants. The question probed by this book is: What perspectives can theology offer in addressing the roots of racism, inequality and xenophobia in South Africa and how can it and the church contribute to reconciliation an...
Riana's Gift
In November 2005, author Dirk van der Merwe received the call every parent dreads above all others. His daughter, Riana, was dead at thirty-seven. In the shocked silence that followed, both Dirk and his late wife, Elsie, underwent an unusual experience. Some would call it paranormala phenomena that is physical but cant be proven scientifically. It was a sensation so overwhelming thatnotwithstanding the intense shock, pain, and confusionit filled them with an indescribable peace and acceptance. This reaction was the exact opposite to their experience thirty-five years prior when their second baby was stillborn. The fact that Elsie experienced the same unaccountable at peace and complete accep...
Bar, Bench & Bullshifters
This humorous collection of stories from life at the Bar and on the Bench in the Cape takes a look back at four decades, starting at the end of World War Two and finishing with the arrival of democracy in South Africa. These tales and recollections, mostly from Bar members now in their 80s, show what an extraordinary time it was for lawyers. Also, remarkably, how much is of relevance to lawyers practising today.
Biblical Theological Investigations into the Righteousness of God
Scripture reveals that God has various attributes. One of the attributes that Scripture frequently refers to is God’s righteousness. The attribute of God’s righteousness enjoys a lot of scholarly attention in systematic theologies. Fewer studies, however, are devoted to investigating God’s righteousness from a Biblical Theological perspective. This is exactly what this publication does: it provides a number of Biblical Theological investigations into the attribute of God’s righteousness by investigating specific verses, chapters, and corpora from Scripture, and indicates how these portray God’s righteousness as part of the developing, unfolding, and progressive storyline of the text. This includes research on topics that have not been adequately explored in the past. The chapters contained in this volume are written by Old and New Testament scholars, and the target audience is fellow Old and New Testament scholars and scholars interested in God’s attributes.
Archaeology and the Modern World
Archaeology and the Modern World advances a new controversial theory of historical archaeology. Using new case studies, Martin Hall evaluates the major theoretical traditions in historical archaeology while contributing significantly to the debate. In this study the author places an emphasis on material culture and the recent past to bring to light a picture of an unstable and violent early colonial world in which material culture played a crucial mediating role.

Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Geotechnical Practice
There are other books on unsaturated soil mechanics, but this book is different. Unsaturated soil mechanics is only one aspect of a continuous range of soil mechanics studies that extends from the rheology of high water content soil slurries to the mechanics of soft soils, to stiff saturated soils, to unsaturated soils, and, at the far end of the r
