2021 Book Award Winner, The Gospel Coalition (Public Theology &
Current Events) Christians are often thought of as defending only
their own religious interests in the public square. They are viewed
as worrying exclusively about the erosion of their freedom to
assemble and to follow their convictions, while not seeming as
concerned about publicly defending the rights of Muslims, Hindus,
Jews, and atheists to do the same. Andrew T. Walker, an emerging
Southern Baptist public theologian, argues for a robust Christian
ethic of religious liberty that helps the church defend religious
freedom for everyone in a pluralistic society. Whether explicitly
religious or not, says Walker, every person is striving to make
sense of his or her life. The Christian foundations of religious
freedom provide a framework for how Christians can navigate deep
religious difference in a secular age. As we practice religious
liberty for our neighbors, we can find civility and commonality
amid disagreement, further the church's engagement in the public
square, and become the strongest defenders of religious liberty for
all. Foreword by noted Princeton scholar Robert P. George.

This book makes the Business Associations or Corporations course
accessible to students whether or not they already know anything
about business. In a conversational tone, the original text and
problems emphasize the legal issues that 99% of lawyers will
encounter in their professional career. The book is organized
around the life-cycle of a business. And while it includes landmark
cases, the focus is on the legal issues encountered when starting a
business, growing a business, and ending a business. This is the
only current casebook for an introductory course in business
associations that is co-authored by a business school professor.
The book thus consistently and clearly provides students with the
business context for understanding the legal issues explored.
Monte Carlo statistical methods, particularly those based on Markov
chains, are now an essential component of the standard set of
techniques used by statisticians. This new edition has been revised
towards a coherent and flowing coverage of these simulation
techniques, with incorporation of the most recent developments in
the field. In particular, the introductory coverage of random
variable generation has been totally revised, with many concepts
being unified through a fundamental theorem of simulation
There are five completely new chapters that cover Monte Carlo
control, reversible jump, slice sampling, sequential Monte Carlo,
and perfect sampling. There is a more in-depth coverage of Gibbs
sampling, which is now contained in three consecutive chapters. The
development of Gibbs sampling starts with slice sampling and its
connection with the fundamental theorem of simulation, and builds
up to two-stage Gibbs sampling and its theoretical properties. A
third chapter covers the multi-stage Gibbs sampler and its variety
of applications. Lastly, chapters from the previous edition have
been revised towards easier access, with the examples getting more
detailed coverage.
This textbook is intended for a second year graduate course, but
will also be useful to someone who either wants to apply simulation
techniques for the resolution of practical problems or wishes to
grasp the fundamental principles behind those methods. The authors
do not assume familiarity with Monte Carlo techniques (such as
random variable generation), with computer programming, or with any
Markov chain theory (the necessary concepts are developed in
Chapter 6). A solutions manual, which coversapproximately 40% of
the problems, is available for instructors who require the book for
a course.
