"Jesus Christ entered into the history of our world. Christianity, therefore, has historical basis. The backbone of history is chronology. Whereas history is a systematic account of events in relation to a nation, institution, science, or art; chronology is a science of time. It seeks to establish and arrange the dates of past events in their proper sequence. Thus chronology serves as a necessary framework upon which the events of history must be fitted. In this book (the author) attempts to establish certain fixed dates in our Lord's life." - Dr. Harold W. Hoehner. Dr. Hoehner has gathered a vast amount of data, both from Scripture and extrabiblical sources, to support his conclusions concerning key dates in the life of our Lord, among them: - The Date of Christ's Birth - The Commencement of Christ's Ministry - The Duration of Christ's Ministry - The Year of Christ's Crucifixion He carefully documents his position and compares the date available--including a study of Greek words, Roman law, and Jewish customs and prophecy.

The worldwide spread, diversification, and globalization of the English language in the course of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries has significant implications for English Language Teaching and teacher education. We are currently witnessing a paradigm shift towards Teaching English as an International Language (TEIL) that aims to promote multilingualism and awareness of the diversity of Englishes, increase exposure to this diversity, embrace multiculturalism, and foster cross-cultural awareness. Numerous initiatives that embrace TEIL can be observed around the world, but ELT and teacher education in Germany (and other European countries) appear to be largely unaffected by this development, with standard British and American English and the monolingual native speaker (including the corresponding cultural norms) still being very much at the center of attention. The present volume addresses this gap and is the first of its kind to showcase recent initiatives that aim at introducing TEIL into ELT and teacher education in Germany, but which have applicability and impact for other countries with comparable education systems and ‘traditional’ ELT practices in the Expanding Circle. The chapters in this book provide a balanced mix of conceptual, empirical, and practical studies and offer the perspectives of the many stakeholders involved in various settings of English language education whose voices have not often been heard, i.e., students, university lecturers, trainee teachers, teacher educators, and in-service teachers. It therefore adds significantly to the limited amount of previous work on TEIL in Germany and bridges the gap between theory and practice that will not only be relevant for researchers, educators, and practitioners in English language education in Germany but other educational settings that are still unaffected by the shift towards TEIL.

This book maps out the pedagogical implications of the global spread and diversification of pluricentric languages for language education and showcases new approaches that can take account of linguistic diversity. Moving the discussion of contemporary norms, aims, and approaches to pluricentric languages in language education beyond English, this book provides a multilingual, comparative perspective through case study examples of Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch, and Vietnamese. The chapters document, compare, and evaluate existing practices in the teaching of pluricentric languages, and highlights different pedagogical approaches that embrace their variability and diversity. Presenting approaches to overcome barriers to innovation in language education, the book will be of great interest to academics, researchers, doctoral students in the field of language education, as well as socio- and applied linguists. Practitioners interested in linguistic diversity more broadly will also find this book engaging.

There are several theories of programming. The first usable theory, often called "Hoare's Logic," is still probably the most widely known. In it, a specification is a pair of predicates: a precondition and postcondition (these and all technical terms will be defined in due course). Another popular and closely related theory by Dijkstra uses the weakest precondition predicate transformer, which is a function from programs and postconditions to preconditions. lones's Vienna Development Method has been used to advantage in some industries; in it, a specification is a pair of predicates (as in Hoare's Logic), but the second predicate is a relation. Temporal Logic is yet another formalism that introduces some special operators and quantifiers to describe some aspects of computation. The theory in this book is simpler than any of those just mentioned. In it, a specification is just a boolean expression. Refinement is just ordinary implication. This theory is also more general than those just mentioned, applying to both terminating and nonterminating computation, to both sequential and parallel computation, to both stand-alone and interactive computation. And it includes time bounds, both for algorithm classification and for tightly constrained real-time applications.

Understanding programming and programming languages requires knowledge of the underlying theoretical model. This book explores aspects of programming that are amenable to mathematical proof. The author describes a programming theory which is much simpler and more comprehensive than the current theories to date. In the theoretical model, a specification is just a boolean expression and refinement is just an ordinary implication. The author develops a practical and broad method for writing precise specifications and designing programs whose executions probably satisfy the specifications. Beginning with preparatory material in logic, numbers, sets, lists, functions and relations, the book advances further into program theory, the heart of the book. Subsequent chapters may be selected or omitted according to course emphasis. The text will be useful to students in courses on programming methodology or verification at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level, as well as for software engineers in the field. All technical terms are explained and then demonstrated in the book wherever possible. No advanced mathematical knowledge or programming language is assumed.The book contains numerous exercises and worked-out solutions for specific exercises. Transparency masters and solutions for the remaining exercises are available from the author.

Originally published by Cambridge University Press in the Monograph Series of the Society for New Testament Studies, Dr. Hoehner s work has been widely acclaimed for its scholarly reconstruction of Herod Antipas political career."

Harold Hoehner has taught biblical exegesis to thousands of students over the years. He now brings that experience to bear on this important work.
He begins with a helpful introduction to the letter of Ephesians in which he addresses issues of authorship, structure and genre, historical setting, purpose, and theology. At the end of the introduction, the author includes a detailed bibliography for further reading. Hoehner then delves into the text of Ephesians verse by verse, offering the Greek text, English translation, and detailed commentary. He interacts extensively with the latest scholarship and provides a fair and thorough discussion of every disputed point in the book.
Pastors, students, and scholars looking for a comprehensive treatment on Ephesians will be interested in this commentary. Hoehner's interaction with the latest scholarship combined with his detailed exegesis will make this new commentary the only resource they will need to consult.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensfuhrung, Management, Organisation, Note: 1.3, Technische Universitat Dortmund, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit unternimmt den Versuch, einen Uberblick uber die Moglichkeiten und Schwierigkeiten des grossen unternehmerischen Schrittes - des internationalen Markteintritts in die Volksrepublik China - zu geben und hierbei insbesondere die aussergewohnlichen kulturellen, geographischen und okonomischen Umstande zu berucksichtigen, die der chinesische Markt mit sich bringt. Der Anspruch dieser Arbeit ist es, nicht ausschliesslich dem kooperierenden Unternehmen, sondern prinzipiell allen deutschen KMU, eine Art Leitfaden an die Hand zu geben, der es ihnen ermoglichen soll, einige Probleme und potentielle Fehler von Anfang an zu vermeid

Die Internationalisierung ihrer Gesch ftsbereiche ist eine der wichtigsten Aufgaben, vor die sich Unternehmungen heutzutage gestellt sehen. Die bisweilen als bedrohlich wahrgenommene Globalisierung der Wirtschaft setzt die Unternehmungen zunehmend unter Zugzwang. Insbesondere Unternehmen, deren Kernm rkte mehr oder weniger saturiert sind, sehen sich gezwungen, neue Absatzm rkte zu erschlie en. Daraus resultierend ist in den vergangenen Jahren zu beobachten, dass der Welthandel konstant st rker w chst als die Weltproduktion. Die ausl ndischen Direktinvestitionen haben selbst dieses Wachstum noch bertroffen, sind weltweit in den vergangenen Jahren jedoch r ckl ufig. Einen der popul rsten Zielm rkte der Internationalisierung von Unternehmen stellt seit einigen Jahren China dar. Dauerhafte j hrliche Wachstumsraten von ber 9% und 1,3 Mrd. potenzielle Kunden sind ein schlagkr ftiges Argument, China nicht ausschlie lich als g nstigen Produktionsstandort zu sehen. Die vorliegende Studie unternimmt den Versuch, einen berblick ber die M glichkeiten und Schwierigkeiten des gro en unternehmerischen Schrittes - des internationalen Markteintritts in die Volksrepublik China - zu geben und hierbei insbesondere die au ergew hnlichen kulturellen, geographischen und konomischen Umst nde zu ber cksichtigen, die der chinesische Markt mit sich bringt.

Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Altere Deutsche Literatur, Mediavistik, Note: 1,7, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitat Bonn (Germanistik), 118 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ob Siegfried ein Freund wurziger Wurste ist, ob Herzog Ernst knuspriges Hahnchen liebt oder Parzival vielleicht sogar die vegetarische Kuche verehrt, das wissen allein die Erzahler. Doch sie verraten es nicht. Denn wenn sie zwischen Abenteuern und Kampfen, zwischen Minneerlebnissen, prachtigen Festen und hitzigen Turnieren auch von Mahlzeiten berichten, gewahren sie den Blick auf Handlungsschauplatze, die sie mit wortreichen Bildern des hofischen Lebens ausmalen. Was da in den Mundern der Speisenden verschwindet, ist nur von geringem Interesse. Von grosserer Bedeutung ist dagegen, wie gegessen wird. Und noch wichtiger ist, wie der Gastgeber das Mahl ausrichtet, wie er seine Bediensteten anleitet und wie diese den Tischdienst versehen und sich um das Wohl der Gaste an den Tafeln kummern. Ziel ist es, ein hofisches Mahl zu arrangieren. Von zuht ist daher oft die Rede, von Speisen in ubermassigen Mengen und dem vorbildlichen Verhalten derjenigen, die gerade essen. Dies ist das Ideal. Das vorliegende Werk bietet sowohl eine systematische Durchsicht als auch eine Auswertung von Speiseszenen aus insgesamt mehr als 50 Verserzahlungen aus der Zeit vom zwolften bis zum Beginn des 14. Jahrhunderts. Der Schwerpunkt der Analyse ruht dabei stets auf dem gemeinschaftlichen Mahl, dessen zentrale Komponenten im Kontext der hofischen Etikette, hofischer Kommunikationsformen und Rituale sowie schliesslich auch im Kontext der rhetorischen Darstellung betrachtet werden. Eine derartige Zusammenstellung hat es zuvor noch nicht gegeben. Zudem bietet das Werk einen umfangreichen Anha
