He is risen indeed! Here are the best reasons why it's true!
Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing
special about Jesus. And many Christians never get beyond a Sunday
school understanding of their own faith. As a result,
Christianity's most important historical fact--the resurrection--is
often the most misunderstood, relegated to Easter and funeral
services, creating a powerless Christianity. In Body of Proof,
acclaimed apologist and scholar Dr. Jeremiah Johnston sets out to
show why Jesus' victory over death is central to a believer's
faith. Straightforward, accessible, and practical, this book
examines the latest archaeological and textual findings and
presents seven tangible, fresh reasons to believe Jesus really rose
from the dead--and why it matters today as the foundation of our
hope in the face of suffering and grief. When you fully understand
the implications of the resurrection, you will begin to understand
the power of Christ in you. This changes everything. "A creative
masterpiece of persuasive evidence for the pivotal event of human
history."--LEE STROBEL, New York Times bestselling author and
founding director of the Lee Strobel Center at Colorado Christian
University "Body of Proof is a book every pastor should teach
and every believer should read."--DR. JACK GRAHAM, senior pastor,
Prestonwood Baptist Church
This insightful Handbook is an essential guide to educational
policy around the world. As shifting geopolitics, intensified
climate change, and widening economic inequalities persist, the
need for informed educational policy is critical. Bringing together
a unique collection of international case studies by scholars and
practitioners from over twenty countries, the Handbook highlights
how the contextual nature of educational policy and its
implementation acknowledges both global trends and local nuance.
Chapters explore key contemporary topics including the effects of
the COVID-19 pandemic on international educational policy;
opportunities for academic modernization in Ukrainian society;
gender equality in Korean and Japanese universities; and inclusive
education policies throughout the world, including India, South
Africa, and Uruguay. It further discusses the ways in which
governmental, non-governmental, and global education specialists
are shaping new agendas focused on equity and responding to global
crises. Offering new perspectives on educational policy in a
post-pandemic world, this comprehensive Handbook will be crucial
reading for students and scholars of education policy, politics and
public policy, sociology, and university management. It will also
be beneficial for educational research associations and
international development agencies, including UNESCO, the Asian
Development Bank, and the World Bank.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
It's easy to think that emotional pain and feelings of hopelessness
are modern issues. But two thousand years ago, Jesus ministered to
people who were also longing for peace and happiness. His answer?
God's peace--his Shalom, a word so important that it's translated
seventy different ways in the Bible. This often-overlooked aspect
of the Christian life is the foundation for deep, meaningful
happiness. In this uplifting book, Jeremiah Johnston provides a
biblical perspective on living a life of Shalom. Johnston reveals:
* the peace Jesus offers vs. the peace the world promises but can't
deliver * how to apply God's peace to our current situation and
combat anxiety, fear, and hopelessness * how to protect this
perfect peace in our lives when troubles try to steal it This book
is also helpful for lay leaders, pastors, and everyone else who
recognizes the church's incredible opportunity today to help
individuals and families dealing with anxiety and depression.
This work critically engages the hermeneutical methods used to
analyse the New Testament writings, so that the lenses through
which studies of the texts have been traditionally viewed can be
revised. Jeremy Hultin contributes an article on the rhetorical use
of the chosen citations by Jewish rabbis in their commentary on
scripture, while Mark Gignilliat writes on the potential
implications for viewing Old Testament Scripture in the manner of
the early Church exegetes and theologians. With these two
contributions providing a frame for the other chapters, the essays
explore a range of topics including the significance of the number
42 in Matthew; the study of Wisdom in Matthew, the extent to which
the four gospels are underlined by Hebrew material, if any; the use
of Hebrew material in shaping New Testament writings; and the uses
of Scripture in the letters of Paul and the letters to the Hebrews.
Read separately, these articles provide fascinating insights and
revisions to established ideas on intertextuality between the
Old/Hebrew Bible and the New Testament writings. Taken together,
the collection presents a solid argument for the fundamental
revision of our current hermeneutical practice in Biblical Studies.

Reviewing photo-induced processes that have relevance to the
wide-ranging academic and commercial disciplines, and interests in
chemistry, physics, biology and technology, this series is
essential reading. Each volume comprises sections concerned with
photophysical processes in condensed phases, organic aspects which
are sub-divided by chromophone type, polymer photochemistry, and
photochemical aspects of solar energy conversion.
Filling a critical void, this book examines French women dramatists
of the nineteenth-century who staged works prior to the lifting of
censorship laws in 1864. Though none staged overtly feminist drama,
Sophie de Bawr, Sophie Gay, Virginie Ancelot, and Delphine Girardin
questioned patriarchal dominance and reconstructed ideals of
womanhood.
This book provides a comprehensive review of environmental benefit
transfer methods, issues and challenges, covering topics relevant
to researchers and practitioners. Early chapters provide accessible
introductory materials suitable for non-economists. These chapters
also detail how benefit transfer is used within the policy process.
Later chapters cover more advanced topics suited to valuation
researchers, graduate students and those with similar knowledge of
economic and statistical theory and methods. This book provides the
most complete coverage of environmental benefit transfer methods
available in a single location. The book targets a wide audience,
including undergraduate and graduate students, practitioners in
economics and other disciplines looking for a one-stop handbook
covering benefit transfer topics and those who wish to apply or
evaluate benefit transfer methods. It is designed for those both
with and without training in economics
Scribes and Their Remains begins with an introductory essay by
Stanley Porter which addresses the principal theme of the book: the
text as artifact. The rest of the volume is then split into two
major sections. In the first, five studies appear on the theme of
'Scribes, Letters, and Literacy.' In the first of these Craig A.
Evans offers a lengthy piece that argues that the archaeological,
artifactual, and historical evidence suggests that New Testament
autographs and first copies may well have remained in circulation
for one century or more, having the effect of stabilizing the text.
Other pieces in the section address literacy, orality and
paleography of early Christian papyri. In the second section there
are five pieces on 'Writing, Reading, and Abbreviating Christian
Scripture.' These range across numerous topics, including an
examination of the stauros (cross) as a nomen sacrum.
Each year, thirteen million anglers enjoy the sport of saltwater
angling in the United States, generating an estimated $30 billion
in sales and supporting nearly 350,000 jobs. Recreational saltwater
fishing, however, can significantly impact species of
concern-species overfished or experiencing overfishing. Traditional
angling controls bag and size limits and restricted seasons have
fallen short in controlling fishing impacts and reducing conflicts
among fishing and non-fishing interests. Evolving Approaches to
Managing Marine Recreational Fisheries offers ways of overcoming
such problems while providing anglers and the recreational service
industry greater regulatory flexibility to enjoy the fruits of
sportfishing. It features fourteen internationally recognized
fishery experts presenting the pros and cons of using individual
fishing quotas (IFQs), game tags, and angler management
organizations (AMOs) in managing marine recreational fisheries,
presenting both theoretical and practical solutions to help move
recreational fisheries management to a new and improved level."

As external forces increase the demand for land conversion,
communities are increasingly open to policies that encourage
conservation of farm and forest lands. This interest in
conservation notwithstanding, the consequences of land-use policy
and the drivers of land conversions are often unclear. One of the
first books to deal exclusively with the economics of rural-urban
sprawl, Economics and Contemporary Land Use Policy explores the
causes and consequences of rapidly accelerating land conversions in
urban-fringe areas, as well as implications for effective policy
responses.
This book emphasizes the critical role of both spatial and
economic-ecological interactions in contemporary land use, and the
importance of a practical, policy-oriented perspective. Chapters
illustrate an interaction of conceptual, theoretical, and empirical
approaches to land-use policy and highlight advances in
policy-oriented economics associated with the conservation and
development of urban-fringe land. Issues addressed include (1) the
appropriate role of economics in land-use policy, (2) forecasting
and management of land conversion, (3) interactions among land use,
property values, and local taxes, and (4) relationships among rural
amenities, rural character, and urban-fringe land-use policy.
Economics and Contemporary Land Use Policy is a timely and
relevant contribution to the land-use policy debate and will prove
an essential reference for policymakers at the local, state, and
federal levels. It will also be of interest to students, academics,
and anyone with an interest in the practical application of
economics to land-use issues.
"The convergence of land use and policy represents a
criticalarea of ongoing research, yet one that is fraught with
special challenges.... The reemergence of the economics of land use
as a compelling field of inquiry reflects the many dimensions in
which land contributes to social well-being and the many policy
arenas in which land plays an important role. Once viewed only as
an input in the production of food and fiber, land now stands as a
key element in the definition of households' quality of life." --

Is God dying? Some people think so--and more want it so. They say
Christian beliefs and our way of life aren't relevant anymore. But
what critics, and even many churchgoers, don't realize is the
life-changing importance of Christianity. Showing how the world
would be a dark place without Christianity, Unimaginable guides you
through the halls of history to see how Jesus's teachings
dramatically changed our world and continue to be the most powerful
force for good today. Learn how Christianity has stood against
slavery, racism, eugenics, and injustices toward women and children
why freedom as a universal value and modern education and legal
systems owe much to Christianity how Christians throughout the ages
have demonstrated the value of human life by sacrificially caring
for the sick, marginalized, and dying how people of faith are
extending God's kingdom through charities, mental health
initiatives, and other ways. This provocative and enlightening book
is sure to encourage believers and equip them to respond to
doubters.

This book contains the proceedings of a workshop held in Schloss
Ringberg to assess developments in molecular cloud research over
the last 25 years, and to discuss trends for future research in the
field of molecular line astronomy. The topics include the
morphology, formation, and lifetimes of molecular clouds, and their
relation to star formation. Also, the chemical and isotopic content
of these clouds is reviewed, and comparisons with molecular clouds
in external galaxies are made. This rather complete survey of this
important field of research addresses researchers in astronomy and
students alike."
