Engaging with Barth
This volume aims to engage with Karl Barth's questions and answers on a range of topics vital to Christian theology. Specifically, whether by going beyond, behind or against Barth, the chapters presented here attempt to provide a contemporary orientation to certain aspects of Barth's theology that can be deemed problematic from the standpoint of historic, confessional evangelicalism. Why engage with Barth? And why the particular approach of this book? The answer to the first question is that Barth's significance as arguably the greatest theologian of the twentieth century - increasingly being recognized in an ongoing renaissance of international Barth scholarship - means that Barth provides both opportunity and challenge for evangelicalism. There is renewed interest in the question of how evangelicals should or should not appropriate Barth. Given the sheer diversity within worldwide evangelicalism, a consensus is unlikely to be reached. Be that as it may, in a range of areas, evangelical theology stands to gain from careful and critical listening to what Barth has to say.

Commanding Grace
In this seminal volume, contemporary theologians revisit the theological ethics of Karl Barth as it bears on such topics as the moral significance of Jesus Christ, the Christian as ethical agent, the just war theory, the relationship between doctrines of the atonement and modern penal justice systems, the virtues and limits of democracy, and the difference between an economy of competition and possession and an economy of grace.

Whether he is telling us about driving a delivery truck in Louisville, Kentucky, for the Coca-Cola Bottling Company, or describing a Zen master sitting in the sun doing a crossword puzzle, Dan knows what it takes to remind us to seize the day."-From the Introduction by Hal Zina Bennett
Midnight on Main
Die Nacht hatte schon immer besonderen Einfluss auf diejenigen, die versuchen die Welt in einem anderen Licht zu betrachten. Wenn alles zur Ruhe gekommen ist, wenn das Licht ausgeschaltet, die Telefone auf stumm geschaltet und die Türen verriegelt werden, dann übernimmt eine Parallelwelt aus Dunkelheit und Stille. Diese Faszination, wie die Dinge nachts erscheinen, ist tief in Daniel Freemans Fotografie verankert und findet ihren Weg in Midnight on Main zusammen mit dem zweitgrößten Einfluss des Fotografen, der amerikanischen Populärkultur. Abseits der Hektik der schlaflosen Großstädte erkundet Daniel Freeman als nächtlicher Flaneur die ruhigere Seite der amerikanischen Nacht und por...
Communities and Conflict in Early Modern Colmar
From 1575 to 1730, the citizens of the Alsatian Imperial city of Colmar were divided between Protestant and Catholic communities, plagued by chronic warfare, and ultimately subjugated by the kingdom of France. Drawing on a rich collection of serial archival sources, Wallace reconstructs the collective biography of 6,700 civic officials, merchants, artisans, and agricultural workers in order to examine the local impact of confessionalization in a religiously mixed town, the effect of warfare on the economic interdependence of town and country, and the tensions between French absolutism and traditional civic political culture. Economic historians, scholars of the Reformation, and students of French and German history will find many valuable insights in this multifaceted analysis.
Our Bodies, Our Data
How the hidden trade in our sensitive medical information became a multibillion-dollar business, but has done little to improve our health-care outcomes Hidden to consumers, patient medical data has become a multibillion-dollar worldwide trade industry between our health-care providers, drug companies, and a complex web of middlemen. This great medical-data bazaar sells copies of the prescription you recently filled, your hospital records, insurance claims, blood-test results, and more, stripped of your name but possibly with identifiers such as year of birth, gender, and doctor. As computing grows ever more sophisticated, patient dossiers become increasingly vulnerable to reidentification a...
Through Isaac's Eyes
A young man reflects on hie relationship with his father in this moving memoir. He describes leaving the security of suburban America with his missionary parents and arriving in Saigon at the height of the war in 1967. He describes his coming of age in a conflict of cultures. And over all of his story is the heroic image of his father--and the man's complete dedication to God.
The Genetic Lottery
A provocative and timely case for how the science of genetics can help create a more just and equal society In recent years, scientists like Kathryn Paige Harden have shown that DNA makes us different, in our personalities and in our health—and in ways that matter for educational and economic success in our current society. In The Genetic Lottery, Harden introduces readers to the latest genetic science, dismantling dangerous ideas about racial superiority and challenging us to grapple with what equality really means in a world where people are born different. Weaving together personal stories with scientific evidence, Harden shows why our refusal to recognize the power of DNA perpetuates the myth of meritocracy, and argues that we must acknowledge the role of genetic luck if we are ever to create a fair society. Reclaiming genetic science from the legacy of eugenics, this groundbreaking book offers a bold new vision of society where everyone thrives, regardless of how one fares in the genetic lottery.
