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.

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.
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.
This book is a facsimile reprint and may contain imperfections such
as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.
