Joseph J. Lawson directs this action movie in which a technology
firm brings dinosaurs back to life only for them to run riot in Los
Angeles. Paraplegic Justin (Ronny Cox) is the CEO of the company
responsible for the outbreak. Having developed technology that can
regenerate flesh, thereby allowing Justin to walk again, the firm
utilise the same breakthrough to reanimate dinosaurs - only for the
prehistoric creatures to break free from captivity. As fireman Gabe
Jacobs (Treat Williams) endeavours to rescue his daughter Jade
(Jillian Rose Reed) from the ensuing carnage, he becomes caught up
in the struggle to contain the outbreak before it reaches
disastrous proportions.
This is an anthology of sonnets that describe war and related
subjects from earliest classical times to the outbreak of WW1.
This Reader charts John Webster's theology from its earliest
development, guiding the reader through selective essays that
represent his corpus. It is an excellent introduction to the
breadth of his writings, which teaches students how to engage with
his particular mode of theological argument. T&T Clark Reader
in John Webster starts with a biographical, chronological and
topical survey of Webster's theological development. It notes his
shifting conversation partners and his abiding theological
principles. The editor places the essays in context with short
introductions, as well as editorial footnotes clarifying key terms,
historical or exegetical arguments or polemical emphases. This is
an essential introduction to Webster's work and his impact on
classical and contemporary theology.
This study offers a theological rationale for an exegetical
possibility and enriches a dogmatic account of the humanity of the
Christ. "The Christ's Faith" coheres with orthodox Christology and
Reformation soteriology, and needs to be affirmed to properly
confirm the true humanity of the incarnate Son. Without addressing
the interpretation of the Pauline phrase pistis christou, this
study offers a theological rationale for an exegetical possibility
and enriches a dogmatic account of the humanity of the Christ.The
coherence of the Christ's faith is shown in two ways. First, the
objection of Thomas Aquinas is refuted by demonstrating that faith
is fitting for the incarnate Son. Second, a theological ontology is
offered which affirms divine perfection and transcendence in
qualitative fashion, undergirding a Chalcedonian and Reformed
Christology. Thus, the humanity of the Christ may be construed as a
fallen human nature assumed by the person of the Word and
sanctified by the Holy Spirit.The dogmatic location of "The
Christ's Faith" is sketched by suggesting its (potential) function
within three influential theological systems: Thomas Aquinas,
federal theology, and Karl Barth. Furthermore, the soteriological
role of the doctrine is demonstrated by showing the theological
necessity of faith for valid obedience before God."T&T Clark
Studies in Systematic Theology" is a series of monographs in the
field of Christian doctrine, with a particular focus on
constructive engagement with major topics through historical
analysis or contemporary restatement.
This volume examines what it means to proceed in the path of wisdom
by beginning with fear of God, that is, mindfulness always and
everywhere of God's being and presence. Michael Allen describes the
praxis of fearing the Lord, how that posture of contemplative
pursuit marks the theological task and defines our theological
method; in so doing it takes up the significant topics of divine
revelation, theological exegesis, intellectual asceticism, and
retrieval/ressourcement from a distinctly doctrinal perspective. In
each of these conversations, doing theology in the presence of God
functions as a consistent thread. God is not mere object but truly
functions as subject in the process of theological growth, though
God's presence and agency fund rather than negate creaturely
theological responsibility. The Fear of the Lord: Essays on
Theological Method explores some of the most central questions of
contemporary theological method - revelation, Scripture,
theological interpretation, retrieval, intellectual asceticism,
scholastic method - by asking in each and every case what it means
to think fundamentally of the perfect and present God involved and
active in these spheres.
This book explores a hitherto unexamined possibility of justifiable
disobedience opened up by John Rawls' Law of Peoples. This is the
possibility of disobedience justified by appeal to standards of
decency that are shared by peoples who do not otherwise share
commitments to the same principles of justice, and whose societies
are organized according to very different basic social
institutions. Justified by appeal to shared decency standards,
disobedience by diverse state and non-state actors indeed challenge
injustices in the international system of states. The book
considers three case studies: disobedience by the undocumented,
disobedient challenges to global economic inequities, and the
disobedient disclosure of government secrets. It proposes a
substantial analytical redefinition of civil disobedience in a
global perspective, identifying the creation of global solidarity
relations as its goal. Michael Allen breaks new ground in our
understanding of global justice. Traditional views, such as those
of Rawls, see justice as a matter of recognizing the moral status
of all free and equal person as citizens in a state. Allen argues
that this fails to see things from the global perspective. From
this perspective disobedience is not merely a matter of social
cooperation. Rather, it is a matter of self determination that
guarantees the invulnerability of different types of persons and
peoples to domination. This makes the disobedience by the
undocumented justified, based on the idea that all persons are
moral equals, so that all sovereign peoples need to reject
dominating forms of social organization for all persons, and not
just their own citizens. In an age of mass movements of people,
Allen gives us a strong reason to change our practices in treating
the undocumented. James Bohman, St Louis University, Danforth Chair
in the Humanities This monograph is an important contribution to
our thinking on civil disobedience and practices of dissent in a
globalized world. This is an era where non-violent social movements
have had a significant role in challenging the abuse of power in
contexts as diverse, yet interrelated as the Arab Spring protests
and the Occupy protests. Moreover, while protests such as these
speak to a local political horizon, they also have a global
footprint, catalyzing a transnational dialogue about global
justice, political strategy and cosmopolitan solidarity. Speaking
directly to such complexities, Allen makes a compelling case for a
global perspective regarding civil disobedience. Anyone interested
in how the dynamics of non-violent protest have shaped and reshaped
the landscape for democratic engagement in a globalized world will
find this book rewarding and insightful. Vasuki Nesiah, New York
University
This Anthology looks at the way poets have used the sonnet to
describe aspects of WW1. Two companion volumes cover the use of the
sonnet to depict Pre-1914 wars and WW2. The Anthology is organised
on a thematic basis with sections covering subjects such as the
impact of the war on civilians on mainland Britain, prison camp
poetry, and fighting on the front line.
This one-volume introduction to systematic theology draws deeply on
the catholic and Reformed heritage to present the major doctrines
of the Christian faith, displaying the power of theological
retrieval for the church's renewal. Leading Reformed theologians,
such as Kevin Vanhoozer, John Webster, Michael Horton, and Oliver
Crisp, offer the "state of the question" on standard theological
topics and engage in both exegetical and historical retrieval for
the sake of theological analysis. The book represents the exciting
new theological trajectory of Reformed catholicity.

Discover and understand the different Christian views of what
heaven will be like. Christians from a variety of denominations and
traditions are in middle of an important conversation about the
final destiny of the saved. Scholars such as N. T. Wright and J.
Richard Middleton have pushed back against the traditional view of
heaven, and now some Christians are pushing back against them for
fear that talk about the earthiness of our final hope distracts our
attention from Jesus. In the familiar Counterpoints format, Four
Views on Heaven brings together a well-rounded discussion and
highlights similarities and differences of the current views on
heaven. Each author presents their strongest biblical case for
their position, followed by responses and a rejoinder that model a
respectful tone. Positions and contributors include: Traditional
Heaven - our destiny is to leave earth and live forever in heaven
where we will rest, worship, and serve God (John S. Feinberg)
Restored Earth - emphasizes that the saved will live forever with
Jesus on this restored planet, enjoying ordinary human activities
in our redeemed state. (J. Richard Middleton) Heavenly Earth - a
balanced view that seeks to highlight both the strengths and
weaknesses of the heavenly and earthly views (Michael Allen). Roman
Catholic Beatific Vision - stresses the intellectual component of
salvation, though it encompasses the whole of human experience of
joy, happiness coming from seeing God finally face-to-face (Peter
Kreeft). The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and
critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that
are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each
volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the
different positions on a specific issue and form their own,
educated opinion.
It is now known that over 90 percent of all plants have established
integrative plant-fungal processes in their root systems, and it
may well turn out to be the case that virtually all plants have
mycorrhizae. In this work, many of the best researchers in the
field review the current status of research in plant-fungal
communications, mycorrhizal organisms, applications, and
biotechnology. The focus is a hierarchical one. This volume is
comprehensive and covers both ectomycorrhizae and
vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizae, addressing concepts that are
related to all the different groups. Mycorrhizal Functioning will
be of interest to professionals and graduate students in
microbiology, ecology, mycology, plant pathology, plant science,
and soil science. Those working in the agricultural biotechnology
industry will also benefit from the book's applications
perspective.

A study of the doctrine of Christ that is biblical and historical,
evangelical and ecumenical, conceptually clear and contextually
relevant. Lord Jesus Christ expounds the doctrine of Christ by
focusing upon theological interpretation of Scripture regarding
Jesus's identity. The book's structure traces a Christological arc
from the eternal communion of the Triune God through creation,
covenants, Incarnation, passion, and exaltation all the way to the
consummation of redemptive history. This arc identifies Jesus as
the divine Lord who assumed human flesh for our salvation. The book
expounds and defends a classically Reformed Christology in relation
to contemporary contexts and challenges, engaging both
philosophical and global concerns. Each chapter begins with the
theological interpretation of a key Scripture text before
expounding key concepts of orthodox Protestant Christology. Lord
Jesus Christ is a unique example of writing dogmatic theology by
way of theological exegesis. The result is a volume that engages
the numerous scholarly volumes on Christology that have appeared
within the last couple of decades but provides a contemporary
account of a traditional view. About the Series: New Studies in
Dogmatics seeks to retrieve the riches of Christian doctrine for
the sake of contemporary theological renewal. Following in the
tradition of G. C. Berkouwer's Studies in Dogmatics, this series
will provide thoughtful, concise, and readable treatments of major
theological topics, expressing the biblical, creedal, and
confessional shape of Christian doctrine for a contemporary
evangelical audience. The editors and contributors share a common
conviction that the way forward in constructive systematic theology
lies in building upon the foundations laid in the church's historic
understanding of the Word of God as professed in its creeds,
councils, and confessions, and by its most trusted teachers.

The twentieth century ended with the vision of smart dust: a
network of wirelessly connected devices whose size would match that
of a dust particle, each one a se-
containedpackageequippedwithsensing, computation, communication,
andpower. Smart dust held the promise to bridge the physical and
digital worlds in the most unobtrusive manner, blending together
realms that were previously considered well separated. Applications
involved scattering hundreds, or even thousands, of smart dust
devices to monitor various environmental quantities in scenarios
ranging from habitat monitoring to disaster management. The devices
were envisioned to se- organize to accomplish their task in the
most ef?cient way. As such, smart dust would become a powerful
tool, assisting the daily activities of scientists and en- neers in
a wide range of disparate disciplines. Wireless sensor networks
(WSNs), as we know them today, are the most no- worthy attempt at
implementing the smart dust vision. In the last decade, this ?eld
has seen a fast-growing investment from both academia and industry.
Signi?cant ?nancial resources and manpower have gone into making
the smart dust vision a reality through WSNs. Yet, we still cannot
claim complete success. At present, only specialist
computerscientists or computerengineershave the necessary
background to walk the road from conception to a ?nal, deployed,

Seeking to move beyond current heated debates on justification,
this accessible introduction offers a fresh, alternative approach
to a central theological topic. Michael Allen locates justification
within the wider context of the gospel, allowing for more
thoughtful engagement with the Bible, historical theology, and the
life of the church. Allen considers some of the liveliest recent
debates as well as some overlooked connections within the wider
orbit of Christian theology. He provides a historically informed,
ecumenically minded defense of orthodox theology, analyzing what
must be maintained and what should be reconfigured from the vantage
point of systematic theology. The book exemplifies the practice of
theological interpretation of Scripture and demonstrates
justification's relevance for ongoing issues of faith and practice.

Practice theory provides a way of understanding everyday life, but
until now its application in occupational therapy has not been much
developed. Theorising Occupational Therapy Practice in Diverse
Settings draws on practice theory to explore the conditions for
occupational therapy practice in a variety of clinical and
non-traditional settings. With examples from around the globe, the
chapters of the first section unfold practice theory perspectives
of occupational therapy history, the management of occupational
therapists in health systems, professional roles and working
contexts. A bridging chapter reviews this development and sets out
some of the global social phenomena that shaped occupational
therapy; including colonialism and social inequality. The authors
look forward to where the profession finds itself at present, in
terms of social and health needs, power structures, occupational
therapy theory and emerging areas of practice. The second section
of the book considers how occupational therapists are responding to
the challenges facing the profession in relation to issues of
access, resources and change. A final chapter reviews how
occupational therapy can meet the health-related occupational needs
of individuals, communities and populations throughout the 21st
century. While acknowledging the complexity of occupational, health
and social needs, the book enables readers to relate occupational
therapy aims and objectives effectively to pragmatic strategies for
dealing with the realities of working in different settings. With
numerous case examples, this is an important new text for students
and practitioners of occupational therapy. It is relevant both for
those working in, or preparing for, placements in mainstream health
and social care services, or in community interest companies,
charities and social enterprises.
Can Christians and churches be both catholic and Reformed? In this
volume, two accomplished young theologians argue that to be
Reformed means to go deeper into true catholicity rather than away
from it. Their manifesto for a catholic and Reformed approach to
dogmatics seeks theological renewal through retrieval of the rich
resources of the historic Christian tradition. The book provides a
survey of recent approaches toward theological retrieval and offers
a renewed exploration of the doctrine of sola scriptura. It
includes a substantive afterword by J. Todd Billings.
What is Christian Doctrine? This Companion guides students and
scholars through the key issues in the contemporary practice of
Christian theology. Including twenty-one essays, specially
commissioned from an international team of leading theologians, the
volume outlines the central features of Christian doctrinal claims
and examines leading methods and theological movements. The first
part of the book explores the ten most important topics in
Christian doctrine, offering a nuanced historical analysis, as well
as charting pathways for further development. In the second part,
essays address the most significant movements that are reshaping
approaches to multiple topics across disciplinary, as well as
denominational and ecclesiastical, borders. Incorporating
cutting-edge biblical and historical scholarship in theological
argument, this Companion serves as an accessible and engaging
introduction to the main themes of Christian doctrine. It will also
guide theologians through a growing literature that is increasingly
diverse and pluriform.

The second of a two-volume project delving into the doctrine of
justification. Michael Horton seeks not simply to recover a clear
message of its role in modern Reformed theology, but also to bring
a fresh discovery of the gospel in a time when contemporary debates
around justification have reignited. The doctrine of justification
stands at the center of our systematic reflection on the meaning of
salvation and grace as well as our piety, mission, and life
together. And yet, within mainline Protestant and evangelical
theology, it's often taken for granted or left to gather dust in
favor of modern concerns and self-renewal. Volume 2 embarks on the
theologically constructive task of investigating the biblical
doctrine of justification in light of contemporary exegesis. Taking
up the topic from a variety of theological vantage points, Horton
engages with contemporary debates in biblical, especially Pauline,
scholarship. Part 1 draws out The Horizon of Justification from the
Old Testament narratives of Adam and Israel. Part 2 defines The
Achievement of Justification in the blood of Christ and seeks to
lay the groundwork for understanding its extent. Part 3 focuses on
The Gift of Righteousness, delving into a clear articulation of
what justification means, its mechanism, and the role of works on
the day of judgement. Part 4 proposes a way forward for Receiving
Justification and understanding faith and justification within the
broader framework of union with Christ. Engaging and thorough,
Justification shows that the doctrine of justification finds its
most ecumenically significant starting point and proper habitat in
unity with Christ, where the greatest consensus, past and present,
is to be found among Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant
theologies.

in historical theology, exploring the doctrine of justification
from the patristic era to the Reformation. This book: Provides a
map for contemporary discussions of justification, identifying and
engaging principal sources: Origen, Chrysostom, Augustine, Thomas
Aquinas, John Duns Scotus, William of Ockham, Gabriel Biel, and the
magisterial reformers. Studies the transformations of the doctrine
through Aquinas, Scotus and the nominalists leading up to the era
of the Reformation and the Council of Trent. Concludes by examining
the hermeneutical and theological significance of the Reformers'
understanding of the law and the gospel and the resultant
covenantal scheme that became formative in Reformed theology.
Engaging and thorough, Justification will not only reenergize the
reader-whether Protestant or Catholic-with a passion for
understanding this essential and long-running doctrinal
conversation, but also challenge anyone to engage critically with
the history of the Church and the heart of the gospel.

these essays challenge the reader to think about new approaches to
justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion . The contributors also
examine and disrupt many of the exclusionary assumptions and
behaviors by those working toward justice and liberation,
encouraging the reader to reflect on their own thoughts and
actions. They emphasize the direct links between exploitation of
animals, the planet, and people, the significance of which we can
