Esta obra tiene como proposito analizar y reflexionar las escrituras biblicas a la luz de la misma, para orientar en la forma de adorar, (Juan 4:22, 23 y 24). El aporte a destacar es la contrastacion seria y consciente de un hecho trascendente en la vida de los creyentes, que es el retorno de nuestro Senor Jesucristo. Este planteamiento despliega las profecias que evidencian al lector: el tiempo, el dia, la hora, la senal y el mensaje. Las ideas concatenadas en cada capitulo ayudan a comprender las profecias que parecian aisladas del mensaje central, pero, al ser interpretadas enfocan al lector a reconsiderar y replantearse el estudio biblico; porque ponen de relieve la segunda venida del senor, hecho que sin duda, transformara la vida de la humanidad en el mas directo sentido literal. Vivimos una epoca de crisis en todos los ambitos del entorno de la vida de los seres humanos, que los hace buscar una fuerza trascendente que los rescate, pero, en esa busqueda muchos han errado y es precisamente lo que esta tesis pone de manifiesto, es importante identificar el tiempo, el dia, la hora, la senal y el mensaje, pero con bases doctrinales apegadas a la interpretacion, considerando la declaracion de Isaias 8: 20: A la ley y al testimonio Si no dijeren conforme a esto, es porque no les ha amanecido. El tema es un llamado para que usted identifique cual es su posicion ante el tiempo, el dia, la hora, la senal y el mensaje.

This volume explores film and television sources in problematic conversation with classical antiquity, to better understand the nature of artistic reception and classical reception in particular. Drawing inspiration from well-theorized fields like adaptation studies, comparative literature, and film, the essays in this collection raise questions fundamental to the future of reception studies. The first section, 'Beyond Fidelity', deals with idiosyncratic adaptations of ancient sources; the second section, 'Beyond Influence', discusses modern works purporting to adapt ancient figures or themes that are less straightforwardly ancient than they may at first appear; while the last section, 'Beyond Original', uses films that lack even these murky connections to antiquity to challenge the notion that studying reception requires establishing historical connections between works. As questions of audience, interpretation, and subjectivity are central to most contemporary fields of study, this is a collection that is of interest to a wide variety of readers in the humanities.

This book aims to advance the understanding of pre-commercial procurement (PCP) as innovation policy instrument and as means to fulfil public needs. To this end, it places PCP within its political and legal context and elucidates its origins and its economic rationale. Based on this analysis, it suggests a clear conceptualization of PCP and a clear delineation from other innovation policy instruments. Subsequently, the book assesses the value and achievements of the more established type of PCP policy programmes, and draws lessons for improvement. In this context, it raises awareness of the remaining obstacles to its wide and effective implementation and suggests appropriate solutions ranging from policy guidance to law interpretation and legislative reform. The text makes use of illustrative practical examples of policy-making and project implementation in various public programmes of R&D procurement. This is a highly relevant book for academics and practitioners in the field of public procurement. Ramona Apostol is Senior Procurement Adviser at Corvers Procurement Services B.V. in the Netherlands. She holds a Ph.D. in Law from Leiden University, the Netherlands. She has been involved in a wide range of procurement projects related to the implementation of R&D and innovation procurement and regularly acts as independent expert for the European Commission on this topic.

To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the restoration of the diaconate as a permanent and stable order of ministry in the United States, the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) at Georgetown University undertook a contemporary study of the diaconate in the United States. Building on studies completed in 1981 and 1995 as well as annual research that CARA has conducted for the USCCB since 2005, CARA designed a comprehensive study of deacons, their wives, diaconate directors, and bishops to explore all aspects of this ministry. This book explores trends in the diaconate as well as current and emerging opportunities and challenges in the ministry. Deacons and their wives, diaconate directors, and bishops share insights about how those trends impact diaconal ministry today and into the future.

A new edition of a classical treatment of elliptic and modular functions with some of their number-theoretic applications, this text offers an updated bibliography and an alternative treatment of the transformation formula for the Dedekind eta function. It covers many topics, such as Hecke 's theory of entire forms with multiplicative Fourier coefficients, and the last chapter recounts Bohr 's theory of equivalence of general Dirichlet series.
