This book explores the interrelationship between terrorism and policy relevance from a range of critical perspectives. In particular, it questions the politics of policy-relevance; that is, it interrogates how epistemological and practical pressures to produce "policy-relevant" research shapes prevalent understandings of (counter)terrorism, and vice-versa. It also reflects on Critical Terrorism Studies' (CTS) relationship to policy-relevance. Should CTS eschew engagement with policy-relevance and maintain a position outside the orthodoxy, or are CTS scholars uniquely positioned to offer meaningful alternatives to contemporary counterterrorism practices? Read thus, the question of policy relevance is central to CTS' identity and represents an essential juncture as to how associated scholarship might develop into the future.

This book is the result of a study I began during Easter 1986. It was then that I made my first earnest attempts to study the events in the New Testament surrounding the last days of the mortal life of Jesus Christ. I wanted to fold together the story of the Passion as told through the gospel accounts so as not to miss any of the precious details. The gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John each provide unique details about the events leading to Jesus's death and resurrection. My goal in this book is to: (1) identify and highlight the unique details from each of the gospels relating to the Passion, (2) to unify that material, and (3) to present my findings in a tabular format so that details could be easily distinguished.

Now in workbook format, this new edition of the classic by James Allen (1864-1912) includes study questions and footnotes. Allen, a New Thought leader, advanced the omnipresence of infinite Intelligence, the divine nature of man, and the power of positive thought.

This book began over two decades ago as a study of events surrounding the last week of the mortal life of Jesus Christ, as found in the New Testament. I began then to put together in my own mind the enormous puzzle of the accounts of the Passion of Christ as told in the gospel accounts of the New Testament. The books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John each provide unique details about the events leading to Jesus' death. My goal in this book is to: (1) identify the unique details from each of the gospels relating to the Passion; (2) to unify that material; and (3) to present it in an easy-to-read, narrative or story format. The source for this book is the King James Version (1611) of the New Testament. While the book is completely based on scripture, I have updated the punctuation and paragraphing, altered some capitalization and pronouns, and added single and double quotation marks where appropriate. I have also added conjunctive or transitional words, without setting them off with brackets, or deleted some words, to help the flow of the narrative. The Passion of Christ is the story of the greatest tragedy and triumph in history. I have never found anything to compare with it.

A key concept in Wallace D. Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich is the Certain Way-a path to true wealth-which is the encapsulation of the four main points of the book, namely, (1) mental image or vision, (2) faith, (3) purpose, and (4) gratitude. As you begin to incorporate the Certain Way in your life, you will discover that this book is life-changing. This edition adds 96 thought-provoking study questions with answers and 46 explanatory endnotes. The original book was first published in 1910.
