Righteous Jehu and His Evil Heirs: The Deuteronomist's Negative Perspective on Dynastic Succession
ISBN: 9780199231478 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. David T. Lamb examines not only the dynasty of Jehu within the narrative of 2 Kings, but also the broader context of the dynasties of Israel and Judah in the books of Kings and Samuel. Lamb discusses religious aspects of kingship (such as anointing, divine election, and prayer) in both the Old Testament and in the literature of the ancient Near East. He concludes that the Deuteronomistic editor, because of a deep concern that leaders be divinely chosen and obedient to Yahweh, sought to subvert the monarchical status quo by shaping the Jehuite narrative to emphasize that dynastic succession...

Civilian Immunity in War C
ISBN: 9780199290741 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The protection of noncombatants from deadly violence is the centerpiece of any account of ethical and legal constraints on war. It was a major achievement of moral progress from early modern times to World War I. Yet it has been under constant attrition since -- perhaps never more so than in our time, with its "new wars," the specter of weapons of mass destruction, and the global terrorism alert.
Civilian Immunity in War, written in collaboration by eleven authors, provides the first comprehensive analysis of all main aspects of this highly topical subject. It considers the...

Renaissance England's Chief Rabbi: John Selden
ISBN: 9780199234301 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the midst of an age of prejudice, John Selden's immense, neglected rabbinical works contain magnificent Hebrew scholarship that respects, to an extent remarkable for the times, the self-understanding of Judaism. Scholars celebrated for their own broad and deep learning gladly conceded Selden's superiority and conferred on him titles such as "the glory of the English nation" (Hugo Grotius), "Monarch in letters" (Ben Jonson), "the chief of learned men reputed in this land" (John Milton). Although scholars have examined Selden (1584-1654) as a political theorist, legal and constitutional...

Divided Kingdom: Ireland 1630-1800
ISBN: 9780199543472 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For Ireland the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were an era marked by war, economic transformation, and the making and remaking of identities. By the 1630s the era of wars of conquest seemed firmly in the past. But the British civil wars of the mid-seventeenth century fractured both Protestant and Catholic Ireland along lines defined by different combinations of religious and political allegiance. Later, after 1688, Ireland became the battlefield for what was otherwise Britain's bloodless (and so Glorious) Revolution. The eighteenth century, by contrast, was a period of peace, permitting...

A Muslim in Victorian America
ISBN: 9780195187281 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Conflicts and controversies at home and abroad have led Americans to focus on Islam more than ever before. In addition, more and more of their neighbors, colleagues, and friends are Muslims. While much has been written about contemporary American Islam and pioneering studies have appeared on Muslim slaves in the antebellum period, comparatively little is known about Islam in Victorian America. This biography of Alexander Russell Webb, one of the earliest American Muslims to achieve public renown, seeks to fill this gap. Webb was a central figure of American Islam during the late...

Transformation of the Self in the Thought of Schleiermacher
ISBN: 9780199206377 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The work of German theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher (17681834) has played a key role in the development of Protestant thought. Despite the importance of Schleiermacher's ethical theory, it has received little attention in the English-speaking world. Jacqueline Marina's book offers a corrective to this neglect, inviting philosophers and theologians to reassess his work and influence and the relevance of his thought to contemporary debates concerning the relation of religion and morality.
Marina begins by acknowledging Schleiermacher's early struggle to come to terms with Kant's... The work of German theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher (17681834) has played a key role in the development of Protestant thought. Despite the importan...

ISBN: 9780199213221 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Organizing Words presents a series of essays on some 220 widely used--and much debated--terms in the social sciences, and organization studies. Each essay explores the meanings and uses of the word; and also the controversies they have sparked.

Revolutionaries of the Cosmos: The Astro-Physicists
ISBN: 9780198570998 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Galileo, Newton, Herschel, Huggins, Hale, Eddington, Shapley and Hubble: these astronomers applied ideas drawn from physics to astronomy and made dramatic changes to the world-pictures that they inherited. They showed that celestial objects are composed of the same materials as the earth and that they behave in the same way. They displaced successively the earth, the sun and finally the milky way galaxy from being the centre of the universe.
This book contains their biographies and outlines their greatest discoveries. Hard work, physical insight, desire for fame and a strong belief in the...

Faith Finding Meaning: A Theology of Judaism
ISBN: 9780195336238 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Over four decades ago, the pre-eminent Jewish theologian, Abraham Joshua Heschel, warned of a "second Holocaust" - a spiritual genocide against Judaism that American Jews were perpetrating on themselves. By engaging in assimilation and secularization, he argued, Jews were losing their religious identity and, through it, their identity as a people. In Faith Finding Meaning, Byron L. Sherwin makes the case for a return to Jewish theology as a foundation for restoring Jewish authenticity and for reversing self-destructive assimilationist trends. Rather than focusing on the abstract...

British Cinema of the 1950s: The Decline of Deference
ISBN: 9780198159353 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this definitive and long-awaited history of 1950s British cinema, Sue Harper and Vincent Porter draw extensively on previously unknown archive material to chart the growing rejection of post-war deference by both film-makers and cinema audiences. Competition from television and successive changes in government policy all forced the production industry to become more market-sensitive. The films produced by Rank and Ealing, many of which harked back to wartime structures of feeling, were challenged by those backed by Anglo-Amalgamated and Hammer. The latter knew how to address the rebellious...

Hanuman's Tale: The Messages of a Divine Monkey
ISBN: 9780195309218 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Hanuman, the devoted monkey helper of Rama and Sita, has long been recognized as a popular character in India's ancient Ramayana epic. But more recently he has also become one of the most beloved and worshiped gods in the Hindu pantheon - enshrined in majestic new temples, but equally present in poster art, advertising, and mass media. Drawing on Sanskrit and vernacular texts, classical iconography and modern TV serials, and extensive fieldwork and interviews, Philip Lutgendorf challenges the academic cliche of Hanuman as a "minor" or "folk" deity by exploring his complex and growing...

Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Image of God
ISBN: 9780195308990 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Scholars universally acknowledge the role that Christian belief played in the social movement engendered by Martin Luther King Jr. Yet few have actually delved into the complexity of King's theology itself. The centrality of one aspect of his theology in particular - imago Dei, the belief that human beings are made in God's image - has been surprisingly overlooked. In this book, Richard W. Wills Sr. offers a comprehensive analysis of King's appeal for civil rights by investigating his understanding of imago Dei. Wills begins by tracing the evolution of this idea through...

Barth, Origen, and Universal Salvation: Restoring Particularity
ISBN: 9780199560486 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Barth, Origen, and Universal Salvation offers a bold new presentation of universal salvation. Building constructively from the third- century theologian, Origen, and the twentieth-century Swiss theologian, Karl Barth, Tom Greggs offers a defence of universalism as rooted in Christian theology, showing this belief does not have to be at the expense of human particularity, freedom, and Christian faith.
Examining Barth's doctrine of election and Origen's understanding of apokatastasis, Greggs proposes that a proper understanding of the eternal salvific plan of God in the person of Jesus...

The Religious Condition of Ireland 1770-1850
ISBN: 9780199242382 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is a major assessment of the religious state of Ireland between 1770 and 1850. This book challenges the assumption that religious division in Ireland is inevitable, and suggests that much of the religious intolerance of the last 200 years has been the result of political and religious mistakes made during that earlier period, even though this was an era of reform and reconstruction within all the main religious groupings in Ireland.

In an impressive feat of organization and administration, the first mela of the new millennium was managed to the overwhelming satisfaction of most, with an impressive health and safety record.

Horace: Satires and Epistles
ISBN: 9780199203536 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The articles included in this volume represent some of the finest writing on Horace's satires (Sermones) and epistles (Epistulae) over the past fifty years. Several have previously only been accessible in specialist journals, while five appear here for the first time in English translation. All are remarkable for the way in which they do their work at multiple levels, moving from the basics of grammar, vocabulary, and syntax to issues of genre, socio-politics, and beyond. Collectively, these articles underscore and exemplify the value of close reading, and of paying strict attention to...

Children of Jesus and Mary: The Order of Christ Sophia
ISBN: 9780195378443 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Order of Christ Sophia (OCS) is a small New Religion which, in the short span of eight years, has evoked intense controversy. An unusual synthesis of traditional Catholicism, esoteric cosmology, and psychology, the OCS already has centers in a dozen major cities in the United States. Thus far, however, it has eluded the attention of scholars of alternative religions. An offshoot of an earlier group, the Holy Order of MANS, the OCS developed a distinctive set of beliefs and practices that set it apart from the mother faith. It has cultivated some curious and provocative features for a...
