another trusted preaching resource, this time on the most prominent
and preached upon most preached upon books in the Bible: the four
Gospels. With contributions from a diverse and respected group of
scholars and pastors, Feasting on the Gospels includes completely
new material that covers every single passage in the Gospels,
making it suitable for both pastors who preach from the lectionary
and pastors who do not. Moreover, these volumes incorporate the
unique format of Feasting on the Word, giving preachers four
perspectives to choose from for each Gospel passage: theological,
pastoral, exegetical, and homiletical. Feasting on the Gospels
offers a unique resource for all who preach, either continuously or
occasionally, on the Gospels.

Elizabeth Johnson's Resistance and Empowerment in Black Women's
Hair Styling develops the argument that one way Black women define
themselves and each other, is by the way they style/groom their
hair via endorsement by the media through advertisement, idealized
identification of Black female celebrities, and encouragement by
professional celebrity hair stylists who serve as change agents. As
a result, hair becomes a physical manifestation of their
self-identity, revealing a private and personal mindset. Her
research answers the following questions: What is the relationship
between Black females' choice of hairstyles/grooming and
transmitted messages of aesthetics by the dominant culture through
culturally specific magazines?; What role do the natural hair
blogs/vlogs play as a change agent in encouraging or discouraging
consumers grooming their hair in its natural state?; What impact
does a globalized consumer market of Black hair care products have
on Hispanic/Latinas and Bi-Racial women?; Are Black female
Generation Y members more likely to receive backlash for failure to
conform their hair to dominant standards in their hair adornment in
the workplace? Johnson thus demonstrates that the major concern
from messages sent to Black women about their hair is its impact on
Black identity. Thus, the goal of Black women should be to break
with hegemonic modes of seeing, thinking, and being for full
liberation. This critical and deep consciousness will debunk the
messages told to Black women that their kinky, frizzy, thick hair
is undesirable, bad, unmanageable, and shackling.

Originally written as a Fellowship Dissertation for King's College,
Cambridge, between 1906 and 1909, Keynes's Treatise represents his
earliest large-scale writing. Rewritten for publication during
1909-12 and 1920-1, it was the first systematic work in English on
the logical foundations of probability for 55 years. As it filled
an obvious gap in the existing theory of knowledge, it received an
enthusiastic reception from contemporaries on publication. Even
today amongst philosophers, the essence of Keynes's approach to
probability is established. This edition reprints, with Keynes's
own corrections, the first edition of the Treatise. An introduction
by Professor Richard Braithwaite, formerly Knightbridge Professor
of Moral Philosophy in Cambridge and a close friend of Keynes from
the time he was finishing this book, sets Keynes's ideas in
perspective.
Once the urgent problems of reparations, which had deeply troubled
Keynes at the Peace Conference at Versailles, were on their way
towards solution, Keynes turned to the equally grave problems of
the currencies of Europe and their adjustment to the post-war
world. These issues had been discussed in the series of
Reconstruction Supplements of the Manchester Guardian Commercial
that he had edited during 1922. In the Tract Keynes drew heavily on
his own contributions to that series. This edition makes available
the variations between the texts. The Tract remains of interest in
three respects. First, it shows the state of Keynes's thinking
about monetary problems and the causes of inflation in the early
1920s. Second, it provides one of the clearest expositions ever
written of the determination of forward exchange rates. Third, it
shows Keynes already favouring flexible exchange rates as a means
of allowing independence in national economic policy.
Between the outbreak of war in 1939 and his death in April 1946,
Keynes was closely involved in the management of Britain's war
economy and the planning of the post-war world. This volume, the
fifth of six dealing with this period, focuses on three aspects of
his activities in planning the post-war world: the final stages of
the discussions and negotiations that brought the International
Monetary Fund and World Bank to birth at Bretton Woods and
Savannah, the negotiations over commercial policy, and the
discussions on reparations and the post-war treatment of Germany.
On all of these subjects it contains Keynes's attempts to
influence, often with success, the course of events in both Britain
and America.
Keynes's first book, published in 1913, was Indian Currency and
Finance. He had served briefly from 1906 to 1908 in the India
Office in Whitehall; then as the administrative link between the
Government of India and the British parliament. He quickly became
involved in the problems of the Indian currency and the then
important and fascinating issues concerning the gold-exchange
standard. He continued to work on these problems, with the
encouragement and help of his former colleagues, after he had
returned to Cambridge. The book which resulted, and his known
mastery of the problems involved, led to Keynes's first major
incursion into public life as a member of the (Austen Chamberlain)
Royal Commission on Indian Finance and Currency. The important
contributions he made to its work are recorded in detail in Volume
15 of this series, which forms a complement to this volume.
Most of the essays in this book were first collected together in
October 1931, immediately after Britain had left the gold standard.
They reflected Keynes's attempts over the previous dozen years to
influence public opinion and policy over the Treaty of Versailles,
over which he had resigned from the Treasury in June 1919,
reparations and inter-allied war debts, stabilisation policy, the
gold standard and the shape of liberal politics in Britain. In 1972
the essays were reprinted with the full texts of the pamphlets -
Can Lloyd George Do It?, The Economic Consequences of Mr Churchill,
A Short View of Russia and The End of Laissez Faire. At that time,
the full texts of his two post-1931 pamphlets - The Means to
Prosperity and How to Pay for the War - were added. The book
contains examples of Keynes's finest writing on economic policy and
politics. This edition includes an introduction by Donald
Moggridge.
From 1915, when Keynes joined the Treasury, until he resigned in
1919 during the Versailles Conference, he carried a rapidly
increasing load of responsibility. This volume prints all the
principal papers and memoranda he wrote during those years and
throws new light on the crises of inter-allied financial relations
and the near exhaustion of British financial resources. It contains
also his contributions to the early thinking in the Treasury about
post-war reparations and inter-allied debts. It ends with his
correspondence, official and private, from Paris, as he saw his
hopes of a wise settlement vanishing. This is a necessary companion
to The Economic Consequences of the Peace (Volume 2 in this
series).
During the winter of 1975 6, the Keynes family unexpectedly
discovered another collection of Keynes's papers at Tilton, his
Sussex house. In this was a substantial amount of material relating
to the composition and defence of the General Theory, including
many more early drafts. This volume brings together these papers,
along with a few others that have come to light since the
publication of Volumes 13 and 14 of this series in 1973. It is a
necessary companion to these volumes and their chronicle of
intellectual development and achievement.
Between the outbreak of war in 1939 and his death in April 1946,
Keynes was closely involved in the management of Britain's war
economy and the planning of the post-war world. This volume, the
sixth dealing with this period, focuses on several aspects of
post-war planning: the discussions surrounding relief and
reconstruction, the attempts to produce a post-war scheme to
stabilise the prices of primary products, and the discussions
surrounding Britain's programme of reconstruction, most notably the
Beveridge programme for social insurance and the policy of full
employment. It contains Keynes's contributions to the discussion of
these issues, most notably his primary product scheme and his
longer papers on the tactics and problems of a full employment
policy.
This volume, the second of six concerned with the Second World War,
provides an account of Keynes's contributions to the solution of
Britain's wartime external financial problems between 1940 and
1943. It focuses particularly on his involvement in discussions,
both in Whitehall and in Washington, concerning the operation of
the Lend Lease Agreement and the terms of post-war economic
co-operation under Article VII of that agreement. However, it also
includes records of his discussions with American economists on the
finance of the American defence effort in 1941 and his growing
concern with Britain's increasing problem of overseas indebtedness
in the sterling area.
A Treatise on Money, completed in 1930, was the outcome of six
years of intensive work and argument with D. H. Robertson, R. G.
Hawtrey and others. As in the Tract on Monetary Reform, the central
concerns of the Treatise are the causes and consequences of changes
in the value of money and the means of controlling such changes to
increase well-being. The analysis is, however, considerably more
complex and the applied statistical work much more elaborate. The
Treatise has long been of interest amongst economists, as a
precursor of the General Theory, as an important discussion of the
mechanics of inflationary and deflationary processes and as an
important statement of the problems of national autonomy in the
international economy. This edition provides a new edition of the
original, corrected on the basis of Keynes's correspondence with
other economists and translators. It also provides the prefaces to
foreign editions.
This volume, with its companion, Volume 14, provides all the
surviving letters, drafts and articles arising from Keynes's work
as a monetary economist between 1924 and 1939. It contains wherever
possible both sides of all correspondence concerning his Treatise
on Money and General Theory, both before and after publication, as
well as complete texts of all surviving drafts of both works. In
addition it contains important correspondence concerning D. H.
Robertson's Banking Policy and the Price Level and such
post-General Theory contributions as R. F. Harrod's first work on
the theory of economic growth. As such, it provides a remarkable
chronicle of one man's intellectual development over the quarter of
a century that saw a revolution in economics.
Most of the essays in this book were first collected and published
in 1933, when Keynes had reached a turning point in a highly
successful career as an academic economist, as an official economic
advisor, opponent of the reparation imposed on Germany and critic
of the orthodox economic policies of British governments. Before
devoting himself fully to the final stages of his journey towards
The General Theory, Keynes put together these examples of one of
his favourite literary genres, the psychological portrait and
biographical sketch. With the additions made in 1951 and 1972, the
book contains almost all of Keynes's biographical writings: his
savage portraits of the architects of the Treaty of Versailles and
sketches of other politicians, including Asquith and Churchill;
some classic accounts of the lives of economists; a pair of
autobiographical memoirs; a short study of Newton; and many acute
and affectionate character sketches of friends.

Keynes published The Economic Consequences of the Peace in December
1919. Over the next two years events moved rapidly and by the late
autumn of 1921 a sequel was needed. While Keynes's views had not
changed, any critical observer required a review of the new facts
and materials. That is what A Revision of the Treaty provided. By
May 1921 a long series of meetings between the Allied Premiers had
led, through an even longer series of proposals, counterproposals,
attempted settlements and sanctions imposed on Germany, to the
London Settlement of Reparations of May 1921. This, as Keynes
rightly foresaw, was to be no more permanent that its predecessors.
This book shows Keynes at his best in the economic analysis and
interpretation of detail as well as main trends, and reveals the
validity of much of his earlier criticism of the peacemakers at
Versailles.
Between 1921 and 1923 Keynes was involved, with varying degrees of
success, in a variety of attempts at influencing British and
overseas opinion. This volume prints all the principal articles,
letters and memoranda surrounding the publication of The Economic
Consequences of the Peace, A Revision of the Treaty and the series
'Reconstruction in Europe', which he edited for the Manchester
Guardian Commercial. It also includes important memoranda, articles
and correspondence on Britain's post-war monetary policy and
international financial policy. As such, it is an important
companion to his published work of the period and an important
source for material on his development as a monetary economist.
This volume draws together Keynes's published and unpublished
writings on non-economic subjects. Included in full are both sides
of his correspondence as chairman of The New Statesman with
Kingsley Martin, the paper's editor, covering politics and foreign
affairs during the years 1931 to 1946. The reader will also find
manuscripts on ancient currencies, a subject that occupied much of
his time during the 1920s, his articles and reviews on the arts and
literature, and the preface written jointly with Piero Sraffia to
the 1938 facsimile edition of the Abstract of Hume's Treatise on
Human Nature.
