The question of how to interpret scripture and whether there is a
distinctively Anglican approach to doing so is one of the leading
theological questions in the Anglican Communion. An Anglican
Hermeneutic of the Transfiguration analyzes major Anglican
interpretations of the Transfiguration from the eighth century to
the present and suggests that Anglicans do in fact have a
distinctive hermeneutical approach to this event. Moreover, this
approach may point to larger trends in the interpretation of
Scripture overall, but especially the Gospels. With respect to the
Transfiguration, Anglicans interpret the event within the biblical
context, assume its basic historic character, and juxtapose high
Christology with the human limitations of Jesus'
self-understanding. Furthermore, Anglicans draw pastoral
implications for the lives of Jesus and the disciples from the
Transfiguration and assert that the glory manifested on the
mountain supports a partially realized eschatology. Finally,
Anglicans write for well-educated, non-specialists in theology.
This book shows which historical developments led people to start
describing themselves and others as 'minorities'. Why, in the years
around 1920, did the concept of 'minority' suddenly become
prominent in public affairs worldwide? Within a decade of World War
One, the term became fundamental to public understandings of
national and international politics, law, and society. Minorities
(and majorities too) were taken to be an objective reality, both in
the present and the past. Benjamin White uses a study of Syria
under the French mandate to show what historical developments led
people to start describing themselves and others as 'minorities'.
Through close attention to what changed in French-mandate Syria,
and what those changes meant, White argues for a careful
reappraisal of a term too often used as an objective description of
reality.
Thanks to cocooning and a hype around DIY, crafts and upcycling,
our homes are increasingly becoming warm nests and a playground for
creative minds who seek to inspire us through the use of color and
innovative designs that make a statement not only about who we are
but the internal space we occupy, the space we call home. Plants
and flowers have become favorite tools in interior design. Whether
you like Scandinavian design or a classical romantic style, there
are flowers and combinations to suit every interior. Interior
Emotions contains a wealth of stylish floral art for the home,
using different environments and styles, ranging from subdued to
colorful, playful, small scale to wallscapes. This collection
offers inspiration not only to the professional florist but to
amateurs, who will be able to pick up ideas and get creative in
their own homes. Featuring the work of three unique and
internationally respected designers, this volume focuses on
creating individual style with ideas that are inspiring and
original, bringing an additional natural element and splash of
color and style to any internal space lifting it from being a room,
to an environment that lives and breathes.
Why, in the years around 1920, did the concept of 'minority'
suddenly become prominent in public affairs worldwide? Within a
decade after World War One, the term became fundamental to public
understandings of national and international politics, law, and
society: minorities (and majorities too) were taken to be an
objective reality, both in the present and the past. This book uses
a study of Syria under the French mandate to show what historical
developments led people to start describing themselves and others
as 'minorities'. Despite French attempts to create territorial,
political, and legal divisions, the mandate period saw the
consolidation of the nation-state form in Syria. There was a trend
towards a coherent national territory with fixed borders and
uniform state authority within them, while the struggle to control
the state was played out in the language of nationalism --
developments in the post-Ottoman Levant that closely paralleled
events in Europe at the same time, following the demise of the
Austro-Hungarian and Tsarist empires. Through close attention to
what changed in French mandate Syria, and what those changes meant,
the book argues for a careful reappraisal of a term too often used
as an objective description of reality.
