This book is the proceedings of the Falk Symposium No. 137 on
"Liver Diseases: Advances in Treatment and Prevention" (part of the
XII International Falk Liver Week 2003 in honour of Hans Poppera
(TM)s 100th birthday, held on October 17-19, 2003). It covers our
present knowledge of the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of
liver diseases, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C and delta
hepatitis as well as alcoholic liver diseases, non-alcoholic
steatohepatitis and the hereditary liver diseases haemochromatosis,
Wilsona (TM)s disease and alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency. In
addition to these clinical entities, the sequelae of liver
cirrhosis and its complications, including the clinical management
of ascites, the hepatorenal as well as the hepato- and
porto-pulmonary hypertension syndrome are discussed. New
developments with respect to liver support systems and liver
transplantation are further highlights of the proceedings.
The main topics mentioned above are complemented by
state-of-the-art chapters on "Hepatocellular Carcinoma," "Emerging
Hepatitis Viruses" and "Fulminant Liver Failure" that are of
interest to both basic scientists as well as clinicians. A special
section is devoted to "Liver Histology" as a tribute to Hans Popper
who contributed eminently to the basic and clinical aspects of
hepatology.
All in all, Liver Diseases: Advances in Treatment and Prevention
provides an exciting overview of the current developments in the
treatment and prevention of viral, alcoholic, non-alcoholic and
hereditary liver diseases, presented by an international faculty of
outstanding scientists and clinicians.
The idea that covenant theology is profoundly influential in John
Wesley's theological thought seems dissonant. What would an
evangelical Arminian have to do with a theological framework that
historically belongs to a reformed understanding of salvation? How
could this possibly square with his ongoing conflicts with the
Calvinism of his day? On the basis of compelling evidence from his
sermons and correspondence, this investigation dares to explore the
idea that covenant theology is part of the infrastructure of
Wesley's thought. The discovery of its role in shaping his
narrative of the way of salvation is surprising and intriguing.
Wesley is not only informed of and fluent in covenant theology, but
also thoroughly committed to it. 'From Faith to Faith' demonstrates
that, with theological precision and discernment, Wesley
appropriates covenant theology in a way consistent with both its
primary theological features and his Arminianism. His distinctive
view of 'the gradual process of the work of God in the soul'
supplies valuable grist for further reflection, especially by those
charged with the care of souls in the twenty-first century.
