2011 Reprint of 1959-1960 Two volume Set. Two volumes bound in one. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was a Welsh Protestant minister, preacher and medical doctor influential in the Reformed wing of the British evangelical movement in the 20th century. He took the view that true Christian fellowship was only possible amongst those who shared common convictions regarding the nature of the faith. This two volume set consists of thirty sermons preached on successive Sundays. The "Sermon on the Mount" is not a code of ethics or of morals; it is a description of what Christians are meant to be. In Studies in the Sermon on the Mount, D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones offers a comprehensive exposition of one of the best known but often misunderstood passages in the Bible. With characteristic wisdom, he keeps one eye on Scripture and the other on the world as he explains Christs teaching to modern-day believers.

We are inundated with game play today. Digital devices offer opportunities to play almost anywhere and anytime. No matter our age, gender, social, cultural, or educational background—we play. Play in the Age of Goethe: Theories, Narratives, and Practices of Play around 1800 is the first book-length work to explore how the modern discourse of play was first shaped during this pivotal period (approximately 1770-1830). The eleven chapters illuminate critical developments in the philosophy, pedagogy, psychology, politics, and poetics of play as evident in the work of major authors of the period including Lessing, Goethe, Kant, Schiller, Pestalozzi, Jacobi, Tieck, Jean Paul, Schleiermacher, and Fröbel. While drawing on more recent theories of play by thinkers such as Jean Piaget, Donald Winnicott, Jost Trier, Gregory Bateson, Jacques Derrida, Thomas Henricks, and Patrick Jagoda, the volume shows the debates around play in German letters of this period to be far richer and more complex than previously thought, as well as more relevant for our current engagement with play. Indeed, modern debates about what constitutes good rather than bad practices of play can be traced to these foundational discourses. Published by Bucknell University Press.
