W.R. Ward was one of the most influential historians of modern
religion to be found at work in Britain during the twentieth
century. Across fifty years his writings provoked a major
reconsideration by historians of the significance of religion in
society and its importance in the contexts of political, cultural
and intellectual life. Ward was, above all, an international
scholar who did much to repudiate any settled understanding that
religious history existed in merely national categories. In
particular, he showed how much British and American religion owed
to the insights of Continental European thought and experience.
This book presents many of Ward's most important articles and gives
a picture of the character, and extraordinary breadth, of his work.
Embracing studies of John Wesley and the development of Methodism
at large, the ambitions of Evangelicals in an age of international
mission, the place of mysticism in evolution of Protestantism and
the relations of churches and secular powers in the twentieth
century, Andrew Chandler concludes that it was in such scholarship
that Ward 'quietly recast the picture that we have of the past and
drew our attention towards a far greater, more difficult and more
interesting, landscape.'

This book covers the history of the German resistance and explores
a number of the moral codes which inspired, justified and sustained
the resisting conscience in the Third Reich. It argues that the
position of the churches was characterised by 'fluctuations,
ambivalences, and contradictions'.

Board: AQA Level: KS3 Subject: Science This AQA Approved Student
Book welcomes Year 7 learners to the AQA 10 Big ideas: forces,
electromagnetism, energy, waves, matter, reactions, earth,
organisms, ecosystems and genes. This approved student book
introduces each idea, breaking it down into manageable chunks. Big
Questions help to frame the idea and get students to start thinking
about the topic. At the end of each topic, End-of-Big Idea
questions can be posed to check student understanding of the
content, identifying gaps and any misconceptions. As students
explore each topic, maths, literacy and working scientifically
skills are embedded at relevant points.
Archbishop Fisher's archiepiscopate reflected the central issues of
his time and place. It was Fisher who oversaw an immense programme
of reforms which effectively recast the institutions of the Church
of England for generations to come. It was Fisher who proved to be
the essential architect, politician and diplomat behind the
creation of a worldwide Anglican Communion. His determination to
promote the development of relations with other churches produced a
vital contribution to the cause of ecumenism, which culminated in
his momentous meeting with Pope John XXIII. Archbishop Fisher was a
vigorous participant in the questions which defined national and
international life. This book explores Fisher's influence on major
contemporary issues and events, including divorce-law reform and
capital punishment at home and the end of Empire and the most
dangerous years of the Cold War abroad. This new biography
establishes the continuing significance not only of the office of
Archbishop in the Church but also of the Church at large in the
tumultuous world of the later twentieth century. A final section of
original source material includes letters, sermons and other
writings bringing vividly to life the range and character of
Fisher's public and private role.

George Bell remains one of only a handful of twentieth-century
English bishops to possess a continuing international reputation
for his involvement in political affairs. His insistence that
Christian faith required active participation in public life, at
home and abroad, established an eminent, and often provocative,
contribution to Christian ethics at large. Bell's participation in
the tragic history of the German resistance against Hitler has
earned him an enduring place in the historiography of the Third
Reich; his February 1944 speech protesting against the obliteration
bombing of Germany, made in the House of Lords, is still often
considered one of the great prophetic speeches of the twentieth
century. Throughout his long career, Bell became a leading light in
the burgeoning ecumenical movement, a supporter of refugees from
dictatorships of all kinds, a committed internationalist and a
patron of the Arts. This book draws together the work of leading
international historians and theologians, including Rowan Williams,
and makes an important contribution to a range of ongoing
political, ecumenical and international debates.

Examines the ethical dilemma of whether, and how, archaeologists
and other experts should work with the military to protect cultural
property in times of conflict. The world reacted with horror to the
images of the looting of the National Museum in Iraq in 2003 -
closely followed by other museums and then, largely unchecked, or
archaeological sites across the country. This outcome had been
predicted by many archaeologists, with some offering to work
directly with the military to identify museums and sites to be
avoided and protected. However, this work has since been heavily
criticised by others working in the field,who claim that such
collaboration lended a legitimacy to the invasion. It has therefore
served to focus on the broader issue of whether archaeologists and
other cultural heritage experts should ever work with the
military,and, if so, under what guidelines and strictures. The
essays in this book, drawn from a series of international
conferences and seminars on the debate, provide an historical
background to the ethical issues facing cultural heritage experts,
and place them in a wider context. How do medical and religious
experts justify their close working relationships with the
military? Is all contact with those engaged in conflict wrong? Does
working with the military really constitute tacit agreement with
military and political goals, or can it be seen as contributing to
the winning of a peace rather than success in war? Are guidelines
required to help define roles and responsibilities? And can
conflict situations be seen as simply an extension of protecting
cultural property on military training bases? The book opens and
addresses these and other questions as matters of crucial debate.

Activate aims to spark a love of science from the start of Key
Stage 3 and build students up towards GCSE. Activate Student Book 1
is split into distinct Biology, Chemistry and Physics units.
Working scientifically activities are woven throughout as well as
having a full chapter to introduce skills like recording, analysing
and evaluating data. Each unit opens with a reminder of what has
been covered at Key Stage 2, so students can make links to what
they know already. Picture Puzzlers are a great way to grab
students' attention while maths and literacy skills activities are
clearly labelled.
Unique account of the affairs of the Church of England during a
period of colossal change and controversy. This is the first
comprehensive historical picture to be published of the life and
work of the Church of England in the second half of the twentieth
century. It traces the evolution of the Church in a period of
immense upheaval, giving not only a detailed portrait of the work
of its archbishops and bishops, but also exploring the Church's
relationship with the State, the changes within its central
institutions, and the response of the wider community to those
changes. Placing the Church of England in its social context,
Andrew Chandler examines the parochial reforms which arose in
response to the realities of domestic and international migration,
multi-culturalism and secularization. Other themes explored are the
administration of property (particularly bishops' houses and the
work of the cathedrals), 'ethical investment', and the recent
crises which are still the subject of argument. Included among
theseare the financial speculations of the late 1980s and early
1990s, from which flowed controversies about the reform of the
Church of England itself and the nature of its relationship with
the state. ANDREW CHANDLER is Director of the George Bell
Institute, Birmingham, and Honorary Lecturer at the University of
Birmingham.
Travel "diaries" of Bishop George Bell from 1933 to 1939 provide
insights into the crisis of German Protestantism in those years.
Throughout the middle years of the twentieth century George Bell,
bishop of Chichester 1929-57, was deeply involved in the ecumenical
movement and the political life of Europe. His sustained commitment
to German affairs was demonstrated by his ten visits to Germany,
between 1928 and 1957. They are documented in extensive travel
"diaries", some of them purely personal and others circulated
confidentially to fellow church leaders at the time. Together with
other related sources, they provide extraordinary insights into the
struggles of the German churches during and after the Third Reich.
Equally, they demonstrate the profound difficulties which English
Christians faced in coming toterms with a very different Protestant
Christianity, and a disturbingly violent political culture. ANDREW
CHANDLER teaches in the Department of History at the University of
Birmingham.

George Bell was one of the most significant British church leaders
of the mid-20th century and in many ways he came to define the
involvement of British church people with the issues which arose
from the Third Reich. Gerhard Leibholz, a brother-in-law of
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, was one of the most senior German lawyers of
the period, a refugee from Nazism who would become a founding
father of the new constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The two figures first encountered each other in the context of
dictatorship and exile and in a brilliant, sustained collaboration
over many years they fashioned a vigorous moral response to the
crises of Nazism, Soviet communism, total war and cold war. This
volume contributes fundamentally to our understanding of the
ethical, religious, legal and political debates which Hitler's
regime provoked. It also brings to life a vivid picture of the
realities of exile and the networks of support which were active
internationally in the great refugee crisis of these momentous
years. With its wealth of primary source material, previously
unavailable in English, this book is an important contribution to
the historiography of the Third Reich and will be of great value to
scholars and students of Nazism and international history.
