Aristarchus of Samos, the Ancient Copernicus: A History of Greek Astronomy to Aristarchus, Together with Aristarchus's Treatise on the Sizes and Dista
ISBN: 9781108062336 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The Greek astronomer Aristarchus of Samos was active in the third century BCE, more than a thousand years before Copernicus presented his model of a heliocentric solar system. It was Aristarchus, however, who first suggested - in a work that is now lost - that the planets revolve around the sun. Edited by Sir Thomas Little Heath (1861 1940), this 1913 publication contains the ancient astronomer's only surviving treatise, which does not propound the heliocentric hypothesis. The Greek text is based principally on the tenth-century manuscript Vaticanus Graecus 204. Heath also provides a...

Poetry and Theology in the Book of Lamentations: The Aesthetics of an Open Text
ISBN: 9781907534751 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The book of Lamentations is a challenge to its readers. Its ambiguous theology, strident protestations against its deity, and haunting imagery confound interpreters. This monograph engages the enigma of Lamentations by assessing its theology. It does so, however, neither by tracing a single theological perspective through the book nor by reconstructing the history of the composition of the book. Rather, Heath Thomas assesses the poetry of Lamentations by offering a close analysis of each poem in the book. He reconsiders the acrostic as the foundational structure for the poetry, reads the book...

The Minor Prophets: A Theological Introduction
ISBN: 9781514001684 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The good news from the Minor Prophets is that, even in dire times, God speaks. While the Minor Prophets are among the most succinct books of the Old Testament, their theological richness has much to offer us today. And not only did they have something to say to their original audience, but God continues to speak through their words in ways that are of utmost importance for the continued flourishing of God's people. In this unique introduction to the Minor Prophets, biblical scholars Craig Bartholomew and Heath Thomas survey the twelve books and explore the theological themes of each. Filled...

Faith Amid the Ruins
ISBN: 9781577997177 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) If God asked you to live faithfully in the midst of upheaval, even if the cost was high, how would you respond? What if he made extraordinary and difficult demands? The prophet Habakkuk struggled with these very questions as he tried to follow God step-by-step during a time of unrest. "Living by faith" sounds great on the surface, but when we face hardship and opposition, it's easy to seek security and stability instead of God's will. In Faith Amid the Ruins, Heath Thomas walks us through the book of Habakkuk, revealing the heart of this story about living by faith in light of...

Holy War in the Bible: Christian Morality and an Old Testament Problem
ISBN: 9780830839957 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The challenge of a seemingly genocidal God who commands ruthless warfare has bewildered Bible readers for generations. The theme of divine war is not limited to the Old Testament historical books, however. It is also prevalent in the prophets and wisdom literature as well. Still it doesn't stop. The New Testament book of Revelation, too, is full of such imagery. Our questions multiply.

ISBN: 9781498260770 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Description: Lamentations is a book that has never had a place of honor at the table of Christian spirituality. This is an unfortunate state of affairs because its challenging poetry has much to offer. This volume explores the how the biblical book of Lamentations may be engaged afresh so that it can function as Holy Scripture for the ekklesia. Four main chapters consider issues in hermeneutics, exegesis, the use of Lamentations in worship, and pastoral reflections. These chapters have been supplemented by seventeen reception history studies written by an international team of Jewish and...

Diophantus of Alexandria: A Study in the History of Greek Algebra
ISBN: 9781578987542 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Reprint. Paperback. 387 pp. Diophantus of Alexandria, sometimes called the father of algebra, was an Alexandrian mathematician and the author of a series of books called Arithmetica. These texts deal with solving algebraic equations, many of which are now lost. In studying Arithmetica, Pierre de Fermat concluded that a certain equation considered by Diophantus had no solutions, and noted without elaboration that he had found a truly marvelous proof of this proposition, now referred to as Fermat's Last Theorem. This led to tremendous advances in number theory, and the study of diophantine...

ISBN: 9781508841845 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) If the ordinary person were asked to say off-hand what he knew of Archimedes, he would probably, at the most, be able to quote one or other of the well-known stories about him: how, after discovering the solution of some problem in the bath, he was so overjoyed that he ran naked to his house, shouting Greek: eureka, eureka] (or, as we might say, "I've got it, I've got it"); or how he said "Give me a place to stand on and I will move the earth"; or again how he was killed, at the capture of Syracuse in the Second Punic War, by a Roman soldier who resented being told to get away from a diagram...

ISBN: 9781108062800 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) From its beginnings in Babylonian and Egyptian theories, through its flowering into revolutionary ideas such as heliocentricity, astronomy proved a source of constant fascination for the philosophers of antiquity. In ancient Greece, the earliest written evidence of astronomical knowledge appeared in the poems of Homer and Hesiod. In the present work, first published in 1932, Sir Thomas Little Heath (1861 1940) collects some of the most notable essays and discussions of astronomical theory by Greek astronomers and mathematicians, presenting them in English translation for the modern reader....

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Originally published in 1920, this volume contains book one of Euclid's Elements in Greek, together with an introduction and notes section written in English. It was created to provide young students with a contextual understanding of geometry and the development of geometrical principles, one which was increasingly neglected in the standard school textbooks of the time. By returning to the Elements in their original form it was hoped that students would gain a fundamental understanding of the ideas put forward in the text, one which would increase their knowledge and enthusiasm. It was also...
