A Lemoncode Sceptic and Orange Answers

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Venter, Tertius Hj, PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, This book is based on the actual email communications between the writer and a sceptic who came across the author's website www.torquetalk.nl on the internet. He decided to write to the author to find out more about the author's convictions and motivation for his website and in particular whether the author had any hard evidence for what he believed to be true. He chose to stay anonymous throughout the communications that took place over a period of three to four weeks. Difficult, but very relevant questions were asked about the hard evidence for the existence of God. The text was kept as accurate and true to the original emails as possible. Changes that were made were mainly to make the text more readable. Where it was felt necessary, sentences, paragraphs or questions were changed to make them more understandable and clearer to the reader. The author has also expanded on some of the answers as he revised the text and felt that more complete explanations could be helpful. Due to the nature of the correspondence, the responses to some of questions or statements do not always follow immediately but a paragraph or two later. It was kept as such to stay as true to the original correspondence as possible.

Videotexts

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gale, Peggy, PUBLISHER: Wilfrid Laurier University Press, When the video camera first appeared on the market, artists hailed the newly available equipment as the new pencil, the better canvas, the best eye of all. The medium was exciting and revolutionary: low-cost and low-tech; "everybody" was curious as galleries and museums hastened to program new video works in festivals and exhibitions. However, little aesthetic or critical material was available on either artists or issues: it was generally assumed that artists' video was just some kind of wannabe television -- its concerns and achievements, and its relationship to the visual arts generally were too often undervalued. But video artists continued to explore and advance in the medium and works produced in the seventies are strikingly different from those of today. "Videotexts" is an invaluable collection of essays -- a comprehensive guide to Canadian video artists and their works. The essays focus on important individual tapes and artists and on the development of narrative forms: to construct meaning and confirm memory. Revised and updated, they offer a "present-tense" assessment of key works from the last twenty-five years, and of artists' ideas and processes as they were unfolding. Everyone interested in video and contemporary art and culture will want to read them.

The Church in the Age of Constantine: The Theological

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Roldanus, Johannes, PUBLISHER: Routledge, In the Age of Constantine Christians experienced for the first time official recognition and support. The Roman Empire used religion not only as cement to unite its different populations, but as a means to win divine favor as well. When this mechanism was threatened by doctrinal dissensions or regional rivalries, the Emperor would intervene contributing to the supremacy of one persuasion. In the 20th century European Christianity lost its dominant position. Critics, seeing dominance as foreign to the Gospel's nature, blame the Constantinian Age as a time of error and fall. However, African and Asian Christians are fascinated by its successful inculturation. Such discussions demand examination and Roldanus provides a refined theological screening of the doctrinal and ethical thinking during the fourth century. Roldanus uses the concept of "contextualization" to appreciate this process. He makes clear that, however much the winning positions were dependent on the interfering of the State, the theological reflection went nevertheless its proper way, conditioned as it was by various understandings of salvation-in-Christ. There was a natural concern to relate salvation to the most important elements of the existing culture. This study aims to help students and interested lay-people to focus on the essentials and to form and unprejudiced opinion on this crucial period of history.

Slavery and Colonial Rule in Africa

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Miers, Suzanne / Klein, Martin A., PUBLISHER: Routledge, Colonial rule started with an endless succession of small, but often brutal, wars of conquest, the moral justification for which was that the European conquerors were bringing 'civilization' to 'darkest Africa'. An intrinsic part of this so-called 'civilizing mission' was the eradication of slave raiding, slave trading and slavery, all of which were widespread on the continent. Some of the studies in this book are on areas where there has been little research, such as the German colonies and the Algerian Sahara. Others throw new light on questions already debated, such as emancipation on the Gold Coast. Some focus on the impact of abolition on particular groups of slaves. Among the themes considered is the role of slaves in their own emancipation, the short and long term results of abolition, the role of the League of Nations, and the vestiges of slavery in Africa today.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pufendorf, Samuel / Samuel, Pufendorf / Tully, James, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Samuel Pufendorf is one of the most important moral and political philosophers of the seventeenth century. His theory, which builds on Grotius and Hobbes, was immediately recognized as a classic and taken up by writers as diverse as Locke, Hume, Rousseau, and Smith. Over the past twenty years there has been a renaissance of Pufendorf scholarship. On the Duty of Man and Citizen is Pufendorf's own epitome of his monumental On the Law of Nature and of Nations, and it served as a basic text in European universities throughout the Enlightenment. This edition has a lucid and historically sensitive translation by Michael Silverthorne, the first since the early twentieth century. James Tully's introduction sets the text in its context, summarizes the main arguments, surveys recent literature on Pufendorf, and shows how Pufendorf transformed natural law theory into an independent discipline of juristic political philosophy that dominated reflection on politics until Kant.

The Penelopiad: The Myth of Penelope and Odysseus

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Atwood, Margaret, PUBLISHER: Canongate Books, The story of Penelope -- as told by herself. In The Odyssey, Penelope -- daughter of King Icarius of Sparta, and the cousin of the beautiful Helen of Troy -- is portrayed as the quintessential faithful wife. Atwood's dazzling retelling of the old myth is as haunting as it is wise and compassionate, as disturbing as it is entertaining. With incomparable wit and verve, she gives the story of Penelope new life and reality. "Homer's Odyssey is not the only version of the story. Mythic material was originally oral, and also local--a myth would be told one way in one place and quite differently in another. I have drawn on material other than The Odyssey, especially for the details of Penelope's parentage, her early life and marriage, and the scandalous rumours circulating about her. I've chosen to give the telling of the story to Penelope and to her twelve hanged maids. The Maids form a chanting and singing Chorus which focuses on two questions that must pose themselves after any close reading of The Odyssey: what led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to? The story as told in The Odyssey doesn't hold water: there are too many inconsistencies. I've always been haunted by the hanged maids; and, in The Penelopiad, so is Penelope herself. --from Margaret Atwood's Introduction to The Penelopiad "From the Hardcover edition.
