The events of 9/11 and subsequent acts of jihadist terrorism,
together with the failures of intelligence agencies over Iraq's
Weapons of Mass Destruction, have arguably heralded a new age of
intelligence. For some this takes the form of a crisis of
legitimacy. For others the threat of cataclysmic terrorism
involving chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear attack
gives added poignancy to the academic contention that intelligence
failure is inevitable. Many of the challenges facing intelligence
appear to be both new and deeply worrying. In response,
intelligence has clearly taken on new forms and new agendas. How
these various developments are viewed depends upon the historical,
normative and political frameworks in which they are analysed. This
book addresses fundamental questions arising in this new age. The
central aim of the collection is to identify key issues and
questions and subject them to interrogation from different
methodological perspectives using internationally acclaimed experts
in the field. A key focus in the collection is on British and North
American perspectives. Recent trends and debates about the
organisation and conduct of intelligence provide key themes for
exploration. Underpinning several contributions is the recognition
that intelligence faces a conflict of ideas as much as practices
and threats. This book was published as a special issue of
Intelligence and National Security.

The Shadow of Calvary is a classic of Christian literature in which
Hugh Martin leads us through the garden of Gethsemane to the arrest
and the trial of Jesus. Martin interprets these events in the light
of the fulfillment of the Scriptures. Chance is that you do not
entirely understand what Calvary meant to Jesus. Here Martin leads
us through the biblical account of Calvary taking you through every
step of the Shadow of Calvary. Most modern preaching and writing
simply scraps the surface of God's Word, Martin reaches the heart
of the sacrifice and love shown on the cross.
Introduction by Sinclair B. Ferguson. No ordinary book of memoirs
concludes with the promise, 'I am with you always, even to the end
of the world.' But the biography of Jesus is no mere commemoration
of the departed; his promise makes the Evangelists' account a
living history. "Take the Gospel record in your hands," says Hugh
Martin, "and you have the means of causing you to realize Christ's
presence." Whether you are burdened, anxious, failing, sorrowful,
or hardened, Jesus' promise means that his perfect words come with
power to people in every condition and that he is present with his
people in every situation.
