South Africa in the 1970s was a divided and increasingly traumatised country, seemingly permanently in the toils of apartheid, and with little space available for open discussion of apartheid policies or awareness of just what those policies were meaning in the lives of people. It was in this context that David Philip, a South African already involved for several years in publishing, became convinced there must be more opportunity for books with informed discussion and debate to be written and published within the country.
He persuaded his wife Marie, also with publishing experience, that they could together set up their own independent publishing company, to publish 'Books that matter for Southern Africa'- in social history, politics, literature, or whatever, good of their kind and ready to challenge mainstream apartheid thinking.
This is an anecdotal account - a memoir - of the lows and highs of a small, cheerful, underfunded but vibrant 'oppositional' publishing company, David Philip Publishers, from the year 1971 through to the birth of the new South Africa.
Gary Cooper, Helen Hayes and Adolphe Menjou star in this classic
romantic drama based on Ernest Hemingway's novel and directed by
Frank Borzage. Frederick Henry (Cooper) is an American serving as
an ambulance driver in World War I. When his friend Captain Rinaldi
(Menjou) introduces him to the beautiful English nurse Catherine
Barkley (Hayes), Frederick immediately falls for her. The pair
share a brief idyllic interlude together, but the jealous Rinaldi
does his best to come between them...
The title of this book plays upon the central place a theology of
the cross holds in Lutheran theologies, especially potent in
Luther's Heidelberg Disputation (1518). The 500th anniversary of
this document coincided with the 70th anniversary of the
Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations wherein the
preamble points to a global aspiration of a common good shaped by
freedom, justice and peace. This book is located at the
intersection of these two themes, asserting that the cross has
material content in being the means by which Christ in suffering
solidarity with individuals, communities, and the cosmos advances
freedom, justice, and peace. Employing a variety of methods, and
exploring a broad range of geographic locales, the contributors
illumine the misuse of Reformation themes and offer a corrective in
service of a common good that is publicly accountable and
theologically sound. The book thereby explores how contemporary
Lutheran theology has utility both for analyzing injustice and for
advancing justice in local as well as global contexts.
Specifically written for the new believer, anyone who knows a new
believer, and anyone who expects to know a new believer, this book
can be the first steps in getting started on the road of Christian
life. Taking that first step of faith and receiving Jesus as Lord
and Savior is the most amazingly wonderful experience for any new
Christian. However, taking those next steps to becoming the best
Christian YOU can be, living the best Christian life YOU can live,
and getting the most out of this decision YOU have made can be very
daunting, especially since most don't even know how or where to
begin. But life is a journey, and for Christians who want the most
out of being a follower of Jesus, the journey is spectacular. Like
any journey, though, you have to start somewhere. In this little
book, the directions to help you begin the initial leg of your
journey are mapped out for you. It's just a beginning, a
jump-start, your first tank of gas even, to get you going and on
your way along the unique road God has planned out for your life.
So dig in to this book, step on the gas and get going.
