The thought of Karl Barth (1886-1968) has undergone a remarkable
renewal of interest in the past twenty years. Joseph Mangina's Karl
Barth: Theologian of Christian Witness offers a concise, accessible
guide to this important Christian thinker. Uniquely among
introductions to Barth, it also highlights his significance for
Christian ecumenism. The first chapter describes Barth's
extraordinary life, from his youthful break with liberalism during
the First World War, to his mature theology in the Church
Dogmatics. Subsequent chapters offer a detailed reading of this
magisterial work, and place Barth in dialogue with five
contemporary thinkers: George Lindbeck on revelation, Michael
Wyschogrod on election, Stanley Hauerwas on creation, Robert Jenson
on reconciliation, and Henri de Lubac on the church. These
ecumenical conversations not only set Barth's thinking in greater
relief, but serve to demonstrate its continuing theological
fruitfulness. The book concludes by examining Barth's wider
significance for the church in our time.

This commentary, like each in the Brazos Theological Commentary on
the Bible, is designed to serve the church--providing a rich
resource for preachers, teachers, students, and study groups--and
demonstrate the continuing intellectual and practical viability of
theological interpretation of Scripture. In this addition to the
series, Joseph Mangina offers a constructive ecclesiology for the
role and mission of the church in the twenty-first century formed
by a close examination of Revelation.

We would like to welcome you to the proceedings of the workshops
held in conjunction with the 23rd International Conference on
Conceptual Modeling (ER 2004). The objective of the workshops
associated with ER 2004 was to give p- ticipants the opportunity to
present and discuss emerging hot topics related to conceptual
modeling, thereby adding new perspectives to conceptual mod- ing.
To meet the objective, we selected six workshops with topics on
conceptual modelingforWebinformationintegration, digitalgovernment,
GIS, changem- agement, e-business, and agent technology. Some of
these workshopswere brand new while others had been held in
conjunction with ER conferences as many as ?ve times. They are: 1.

respectively, with acceptance rates 34%, 37%, 27%, 38%, 41%, and

The thought of Karl Barth has undergone a remarkable renewal of
interest in recent decades. Joseph Mangina's "Karl Barth:
Theologian of Christian Witness" offers a concise, accessible guide
to this important Christian thinker. Unique among introductions to
Barth, it also highlights his significance for Christian ecumenism
and brings his views into conversation with other contemporary
theologians.
MIYAMOTO Tsuneichi (1907-1981) occupe une place a part dans le
paysage ethnologique et intellectuel japonais. Homme de terrain qui
passa une grande partie de sa vie a arpenter son pays, il fut aussi
un prolifique homme de plume. Encore mal connu dans son pays, son
apport a l'ethnologie fut pourtant loin d'etre negligeable.
Ethnographe, explorateur du folklore - dont il recueillait des pans
entiers, les sauvant de l'oubli - mais aussi conferencier et
formateur, il privilegia toujours la collecte d'informations a une
analyse theorique et abstraite. Ses compte-rendus de voyages en
terres rurales traduisent le tiraillement d'un homme entre
l'objectivite scientifique et un amour de la nature humaine, un
etre sensible qui n'avait pas peur de parler aussi de lui. Ses
travaux sur l'insularite, sur les fonctions de groupe dans les
villages, les fetes, les routes du sel ou l'archeologie des
cereales reservent de nombreuses informations et anecdotes au
lecteur. Malheureusement, son uvre reste a ce jour inedite en
francais. Ce travail, au moyen d'extraits traduits, entend
contribuer a combler cette lacune, tout en replacant cette uvre
dans son contexte."
