Thirteen European and American theologians treat the entire
historical development and theological significance of a major
Roman Catholic doctrine in The Dogma of the Immaculate Conception
published (University of Notre Dame Press, 1958). Edward 0'Connor,
C.S.C., has edited the 700-page volume which includes an exhaustive
bibliography, a number of documents, and over fifty illustrations.
A specialist in mediaeval theology, Father O'Connor notes in the
preface that the subject of the Virgin Mary's Immaculate Conception
was first discussed about the year 1100. The doctrine was defined
by Pope Pius IX in 1854 after about 75 years of "what was perhaps
the most prolonged and passionate debate that has ever been carried
on in Catholic theology," O'Connor writes. The importance of any
doctrine, however, he emphasizes, "does not lie chiefly in its
history, but it its intrinsic significance as truth, and in its
rank in the hierarchy of truth, which do not depend on historical
contingencies." From this point of view, the Immaculate Conception
is of immense importance, O'Connor observes, not only for
Mariology, but also for the theology of the Redemption and of the
Church. The Dogma of the Immaculate Conception is not merely a
collection of miscellaneous essays on the subject. The various
chapters deal with all the major aspects of the doctrine and range
from "Scripture and the Immaculate Conception" to "The Immaculate
Conception in Art."
The Summa Theologiae ranks among the greatest documents of the
Christian Church, and is a landmark of medieval western thought. It
provides the framework for Catholic studies in systematic theology
and for a classical Christian philosophy, and is regularly
consulted by scholars of all faiths and none, across a range of
academic disciplines. This paperback reissue of the classic
Latin/English edition first published by the English Dominicans in
the 1960s and 1970s, in the wake of the Second Vatican Council, has
been undertaken in response to regular requests from readers and
librarians around the world for the entire series of 61 volumes to
be made available again. The original text is unchanged, except for
the correction of a small number of typographical errors.
The processes of political, social and economic change are traced in an original survey of the ancient societies that flourished in the Nile Valley from the predynastic period to the conquest by Alexander the Great.
Data in the genomics field is booming. In just a few years,
organizations such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will
host 50+ petabytes-or over 50 million gigabytes-of genomic data,
and they're turning to cloud infrastructure to make that data
available to the research community. How do you adapt analysis
tools and protocols to access and analyze that volume of data in
the cloud? With this practical book, researchers will learn how to
work with genomics algorithms using open source tools including the
Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK), Docker, WDL, and Terra. With this
practical book, researchers will learn how to work with genomics
algorithms using open source tools including the Genome Analysis
Toolkit (GATK), Docker, WDL, and Terra. Geraldine Van der Auwera,
longtime custodian of the GATK user community, and Brian O'Connor
of the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute, guide you through the
process. You'll learn by working with real data and genomics
algorithms from the field. This book covers: Essential genomics and
computing technology background Basic cloud computing operations
Getting started with GATK, plus three major GATK Best Practices
pipelines Automating analysis with scripted workflows using WDL and
Cromwell Scaling up workflow execution in the cloud, including
parallelization and cost optimization Interactive analysis in the
cloud using Jupyter notebooks Secure collaboration and
computational reproducibility using Terra
The Review of Foreign Developments (RFD) series begins in 1945 and
ends in 1975. Starting in August 1971, papers in the RFD series
also appear in the International Finance Discussion Paper (IFDP)
series. These topics are focused on, though by no means limited to,
international macroeconomics, international trade, global finance,
financial institutions, and markets, as well as international
capital flows. The analyses and conclusions set forth in the RFD
series are those of the authors and do not indicate concurrence by
other members of the research staff or the Board of Governors.

Heaven Shattered: The Angelic Rebellion volume 2 A prequel to
volume 1, the Angelic Rebellion begins this saga by taking the
reader back in time when the Holy Empire first fell under the
savage onslaught known as the Lucifer Rebellion. It was a
distressing tribute to the rationale of God that it took the
Angelic Forces' so long to organize a response to the rebellion.
The initial reaction to the rebellion by many in the high ranking
Angelic Forces was that the rebellion was but one single event in
the overall strategy of an unidentifiable enemy whose ultimate
goal, for what anyone knew, may have been nothing more than simply
trying to only get God's attention. Much of what the Angelic Forces
had first heard about the rebellion had been based on rumours and
speculation and not sure how reliable their sources were, in an
attempt to achieve a certain degree of control over the situation,
the Central Command ordered closed the borders between Heaven and
Earth to further entry. Unfortunately, while this served to cut off
the line of communication between the rebel forces, and any
unwanted entry into further corrupting Heaven. It also drastically
diminished the amount of information being received by loyal souls
that had been trapped on the wrong side of God's light. The Empress
herself, along with the Fourth Order of Angels traveled to Earth to
determine who was behind this rebellion. While believing that her
own son Lucifer might partially responsible, upon her arrival she
and her Order were forced into a stronghold on the planet for their
protection. Soul fragments were dispatched immediately to retrieve
more information from inside enemy lines, but most have not been
heard from again. From the few souls who have managed to get some
information back it would seem that one side affect from the
borders to Heaven being closed has been that the angels trapped on
the dark side of the Gap have taken on human characteristics. Their
minds are no longer functioning as they do in Heaven, and they are
quite overcome by emotions and fears, many overwrought by panic.
What has happened to them since last contact is anyone's guess?
Join the Lion squadron as they journey through time and space, in
the hope of bringing an end to the Angelic Rebellion.
HEAVEN SHATTERED VOLUME I THE RELUCTANT WARRIOR Long ago, at the
onset of the Lucifer Rebellion, the Central Command of the Holy
Empire's Angelic Forces realized that they had to create a squadron
of specially trained angels in order to bring an end to Lucifer's
deceptions. Torana, is such an angel who finds himself drafted
along with a number of other angels to undergo training to become
members of this elite squadron of Angelic Warriors known as the
Lions. Each day the Lion squadron members attend lectures based on
a particular topic of discussion, aimed at preparing them for the
time when they will incarnate into physical form on Earth, to
assist humankind during the final battle on Earth between the
forces of good and evil. As each cadet soon learns, their concerns
are not unfounded. Once these Angelic Warriors incarnate into the
physical world, they temporarily lose the memory of their true
identity, and more importantly that they have been sent on their
mission by God. The cadets also learn that it will take many
incarnations before they begin to uncover their true identity. Each
lesson is designed to provide the cadets with the essential tools
and information necessary to bring this awareness to the surface
without drawing unwanted attention upon themselves from the enemy
forces. Each night, after the lecture has concluded, Torana is
escorted to Earth by his guardian angel, Landor, where the two
witness one of Torana's future incarnations. The learning
experiences within the lifetime they visit help to reinforce the
lesson taught earlier on that day at the Academy. Join Torana,
Landor and the Lion squadron as they journey through time and
space, in the hope of stopping Lucifer's domination of the third
dimension.
