Christian Faith in Our Time
ISBN: 9781498295864 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Jersild responds to a fundamental issue in the theology of the church: what is the nature of our language in addressing the mysteries of our faith, such as speaking of God, or of the incarnation? Advocating a ""modest"" theology in facing the mystery of God, and acknowledging the impact of postmodern sensibilities, he lifts up the metaphorical language of Jesus as the key to a responsible theology. Jersild makes his case for a ""faith-based imagination"" centering on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus as God's man who brings a divine, redemptive love to the human story. Theology does...

Orientalizm po rosyjsku. Górale Kaukazu...
ISBN: 9788381963459 / Polski / twarda / 2022 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Książka Austina Jersilda, profesora Wydziału Historii w Old Dominion University, jest bodaj pierwszą monografią o XIX-wiecznym podboju Kaukazu Północnego przez Rosję. Stanowi przy tym skuteczną odtrutkę na kłamliwą propagandę historyczną, posługującą się twierdzeniami, że ciągła ekspansja Rosji na południe wynikała z konieczności obrony, ale także ze zwykłego pragmatyzmu. Dokumentując proces narodzin i zmierzchu orientalistycznej narracji Imperium Rosyjskiego na Kaukazie, autor wykonał gigantyczną pracę archiwalną i - jak pisze dr Jerzy Rohoziński - przynosi...

Spirit Ethics
ISBN: 9780800632328 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How can Christians responsibly derive moral guidance from the Bible on pressing issues of personal and social morality today? Jersild's book sets the context for a study of Scripture and the moral life in a postmodern, pluralist society with its impact on biblical studies. The ethical contents and authority of Scripture are addressed, and a "Spirit ethics" is proposed as a way of developing a biblically based Christian ethics. Christians cannot simply adopt a once-and-for-all set of rules nor simply cite Bible verses against the latest sins. "Absolutely essential," says Jersild, "is the...

The Sino-Soviet Alliance: An International History
ISBN: 9781469629834 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 1950 the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China signed a Treaty of Friendship, Alliance, and Mutual Assistance to foster cultural and technological cooperation between the Soviet bloc and the PRC. While this treaty was intended as a break with the colonial past, Austin Jersild argues that the alliance ultimately failed because the enduring problem of Russian imperialism led to Chinese frustration with the Soviets.
