This parallel political biography of two U.S. senators -- Paul Sarbanes of Maryland (a liberal democrat) and Richard Lugar of Indiana (a conservative Republican) -- offers a narrative of American politics during the last quarter century. By displaying the opposing political stances of two mainstream senators who are alike in age, education, career changes, and other attributes, Professor Lamb shows how "reasonable disagreement" can lead to unreasonable consequences: how a Congress pursuing its Constitutional duties can produce policy stalemate and voter alienation.

What would you do if your daughter, off to Mesopotamia on an archaeological dig for an unspecified period of time, made you guardian of a tousled, obstinate, intractable dog? Such was the dilemma of George Preble Watson, a man struggling with the death of his beloved wife and failing grades in dog deportment. Hoping somehow that sympathy for his grave-site grieving would make the animal more tractable, George took the dog on regular visits to the cemetery. At times as he recounted to the silence all that he and his wife had shared, he'd be overcome with sobbing while the dog lay impassive nearby. In more tranquil moments George was quick to reward the dog's infrequent obedience, but as soon as one prank was neutralized another was introduced. The resolution of this standoff is thrown into crisis as both discover that love, even for man and dog, is a work in progress.

Text, Context and the Johannine Community adopts a new approach to the social context of the Johannine writings by drawing on modern sociolinguistic theory. Sociolinguistics emphasizes language as a social phenomenon, which can be analysed with reference not only to its broad context of culture, but also, through the use of register analysis, to its narrower context of situation. The Johannine writings have increasingly been seen as the product of a distinct Johannine Community, depicted by some scholars as a sectarian group, opposed both to wider Jewish society and to other Christian groups. This model has largely been constructed on historical-critical grounds, yet given our lack of reliable external information about the origin of the Johannine writings, a more fruitful approach may be to examine their lexico-grammatical and discourse features to determine what these imply about interpersonal relationships. This study compares selected 'narrative asides' from the Gospel of John with a passage section from 1 John and with the two shorter Johannine Epistles. It concludes that register analysis of these texts does not support the idea of a close-knit sectarian group.

On a dreary day in the late nineteenth century, seventeen year old Moses Morganstern left home in Poland for America. Within hours of disembarking at the land of the free, he witnessed shocking acts of greed and swindling, exploiting the defenseless. Hoping the episodes were transient blemishes in the American character, he surveyed a broader cross section of the people to justify his vision of the land's goodness. Sadly he found cheating and persecution even among groups of the same nationality and occupation. Searching for a job with a mercantile business company he was pronounced unemployable by the German/Jewish owners because he spoke with a Yiddish dialect. Undeterred, he quickly identified an unserved market and began selling sewing notions door-to-door. Success followed success, but none hushed the inner voice demanding he find his true purpose. The persistence of his call to start on his journey never accompanied by any hint of departure nor direction, nor distance nor destination stalked him like his shadow and he realized there would never be anything definitive except he must go.

WHO IS A PROPHET, AND WHAT IS HIS MISSION? "The prophet is God's policeman on duty to reprove, rebuke, and exhort in the name of God and righteousness. The prophet is not famous, and his voice is the one crying in the wilderness of life. He is sold out to God, and the word 'compromise' is not known to him. He is one-way traffic on the highway of God." This intriguing and fascinating publication brings to light the scriptural sketch of who a genuine prophet of God should be. It describes his characteristics. It discloses vital lessons from his walk with God and also examines his mode of operation. When the Israelites (the church) wandered away from God and gave themselves to idolatry and false religion, God sent His prophets to confront the situation. It's a late hour on God's watch, and He is sending His prophets today "to make ready a people prepared for the Lord" (Luke 1:17). ELIJAH ANUOLUWAPO LAMB was born in England but grew up in Nigeria, where he was exposed to the church life from a young age by his mother. He made a conscious decision in August 1998 to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour. Yet, he didn't fully commit his life to the Lord until he had a major encounter with the Holy Spirit on August 23, 2007. He found himself laughing uncontrollably during morning prayers with a family he met upon his return to England. Since then, Elijah has had a full-blown passion for God and service to His church. He and his wife, Yvonne, continue the ministry of Christ in England with their daughter, Hannah.
