Vatican II's 1965 Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation (Dei verbum) is the most complete and authoritative statement on biblical interpretation ever issued by the Catholic Church, allowing Catholics to pursue biblical study in its fullness. Drawing on his fifty-year association with New Testament Abstracts, Harrington seeks to explain to a general audience the most important developments in the academic study of the New Testament since Dei verbum. He focuses on six major topics: the complexity involved in interpreting the New Testament, the impact of the Dead Sea scrolls, Jesus as the prophet of God's kingdom, the Evangelists as authors, new perspectives on Paul and Judaism, and the early church in the Roman empire.

The Way of Jesus Christ discusses the following topics: 1. The symbol of the way embodies the aspect of process and brings out christology's alignment towards its goal. This symbol can comprehend Christ's way from his birth in the Spirit and his baptism in the Spirit to his self-surrender on Golgotha. It also makes it possible to understand the path of Christ as the way leading from his resurrection to his parousia-the way he takes in the Spirit to Israel, to the nations, and into the breadth and depth of the cosmos. 2. The symbol of the way makes us aware that every human christology is historically conditioned and limited. Every human christology is a 'christology of the way, ' not yet a '...

From 1884 to 1953, the International League enjoyed a measure of stability that was the envy of many other minor leagues. With franchises located in cities along the East Coast and Canada--including Newark, Toronto, Baltimore, Montreal, and Providence--the circuit produced a brand of baseball that was only a bit below that of the majors. This is the complete, year-by-year, team-by-team statistical history of the first 70 years of the International League, from its beginnings with the Eastern League in 1854, to 1953 when longtime member Baltimore was forced to relocate its franchise to make way for a major league team. For each season, there is a brief essay that covers the league's highlights and its champion. Full rosters for each team are then provided, with complete statistics for all players.
The pre-1960 history of print culture and libraries, as they relate to the First Peoples of Canada, has gone largely untold. Paper Talk explores the relationship between the introduction of western print culture to Aboriginal peoples by missionaries, the development of libraries in the Indian schools in the nineteenth century, and the establishment of community-accessible collections in the twentieth century. While missionaries and the Department of Indian Affairs envisioned books and libraries as assimilative and "civilizing" tools, Edwards shows that some Aboriginal peoples articulated western ideas of print culture, literacy, books, and libraries as tools to assist their own cultural, social, and political aspirations. This text also serves to illustrate that the contemporary struggle of Aboriginal peoples in Canada to establish libraries in communities has a historical basis and that many of the obstacles faced today are remarkably similar to those encountered by earlier generations.
Liebe ist so vielschichtig, wie Menschen einzigartig sind. Liebe möchte alles wagen. Wir wünschen uns die wirkliche Liebe, die von Herzen kommt. Und doch fürchten sich auch manche vor dieser Liebe, denn Liebe bedeutet, sich zu öffnen. Liebe stärkt und befreit. Sie überwindet aufkommende Furcht und Ängste. Sie gibt uns Sicherheit und die Bereitschaft, hoffnungsvoll nach vorn zu sehen. Am Anfang aller Liebe steht die Erfahrung geliebt zu werden. Kinder, die mit dieser Liebe aufwachsen, sind anderen Kindern, die diese erfahrene Liebe nur wenig oder gar nicht kennen, in jeder Hinsicht weit voraus. Wenn die Bibel von Liebe spricht, dann meint sie damit die bedingungslose Liebe Gottes zu uns Menschen.
