Jewish Themes in the New Testament: Yam Yisrael Chai! (Paperback): Paul Morris Jewish Themes in the New Testament: Yam Yisrael Chai! (Paperback)
Paul Morris
R556 Discovery Miles 5 560 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book outlines what the Bible teaches about the Jewish people and religion. Jewish Themes in the New Testament is an examination of what the New Testament teaches about the Jewish people in the era of the New Covenant. The core of that teaching is an affirmation of God's continued faithfulness to them. In a day when opinions regarding the Jewish people are increasingly polarised as some stress their position centre-stage and others consign them to the dustbin of history, this book seeks to demonstrate from the New Testament that both extremes are wrong. This unique book considers the theological issues, but it is concerned for much more; it is about Jewish people and the Jews as a people, as the New Testament sees them.

Imagining Japan in Post-war East Asia - Identity Politics, Schooling and Popular Culture (Paperback): Paul Morris, Naoko... Imagining Japan in Post-war East Asia - Identity Politics, Schooling and Popular Culture (Paperback)
Paul Morris, Naoko Shimazu, Edward Vickers
R1,692 Discovery Miles 16 920 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In the decades since her defeat in the Second World War, Japan has continued to loom large in the national imagination of many of her East Asian neighbours. While for many, Japan still conjures up images of rampant military brutality, at different times and in different communities, alternative images of the Japanese 'Other' have vied for predominance - in ways that remain poorly understood, not least within Japan itself. Imagining Japan in Postwar East Asia analyses the portrayal of Japan in the societies of East and Southeast Asia, and asks how and why this has changed in recent decades, and what these changing images of Japan reveal about the ways in which these societies construct their own identities. It examines the role played by an imagined 'Japan' in the construction of national selves across the East Asian region, as mediated through a broad range of media ranging from school curricula and textbooks to film, television, literature and comics. Commencing with an extensive thematic and comparative overview chapter, the volume also includes contributions focusing specifically on Chinese societies (the mainland PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan), Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore. These studies show how changes in the representation of Japan have been related to political, social and cultural shifts within the societies of East Asia - and in particular to the ways in which these societies have imagined or constructed their own identities. Bringing together contributors working in the fields of education, anthropology, history, sociology, political science and media studies, this interdisciplinary volume will be of interest to all students and scholars concerned with issues of identity, politics and culture in the societies of East Asia, and to those seeking a deeper understanding of Japan's fraught relations with its regional neighbours.

The Teaching and Study of Islam in Western Universities (Hardcover): Paul Morris, William Shepard, Paul Trebilco, Toni Tidswell The Teaching and Study of Islam in Western Universities (Hardcover)
Paul Morris, William Shepard, Paul Trebilco, Toni Tidswell
R4,345 Discovery Miles 43 450 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Public interest in the religion of Islam and in Muslim communities in recent years has generated an impetus for Western Universities to establish an array of Institutes and programs dedicated to the study of Islam. Despite the growth in number of programs dedicated to this study, very little attention has been paid to the appropriate shape of such programs and the assumptions that ought to underlie such a study. The Teaching and Study of Islam in Western Universities attempts to address two central questions that arise through the teaching of Islam. Firstly, what relation is there between the study of the religion of Islam and the study of those cultures that have been shaped by that religion? Secondly, what is the appropriate public role of a scholar of Islam? After extensive discussion of these questions, the authors then continue to address the wider issues raised for the academic community having to negotiate between competing cultural and philosophical demands. This edited collection provides new perspectives on the study of Islam in Western Institutions and will be an invaluable resource for students of Education and Religion, in particular Islamic Studies.

River Song has many ways to amuse herself away from her husband.

Monsters stalk the Underground. For River, it’s the perfect opportunity to steal a priceless artwork, so long as she can avoid looters, soldiers and an alien invasion. With the gallant Captain Knight at her side, River faces the Great Intelligence and its Yeti army. But her biggest challenge may be keeping time itself on track. Peepshow by Guy Adams. Miniscope parts fetch quite a price on the open market – luckily, River knows where she can find one that’s about to be decommissioned. Unfortunately, this particular miniscope is chock-full of aliens, as well as unsuspecting Earthlings. River must face a carnival of monsters before she can claim her prize – across miniature habitats, Ogrons, Sontarans and Drashigs await! The Talents of Greel by Paul Morris. River visits Victorian London on the trail of anachronistic technology. But when young women are stolen from the streets, she takes a stand.

The first edition of 'Time Traveller Danny and the Codebreaker' came out in 2012, the centenary of Alan Turing's birth, when there were still many adults, never mind children, who did not know of Turing's role in the top-secret work at Bletchley Park deciphering the German enigma code in World War 2, nor did they know of the part he played in the emerging science of computers. Much has changed since then. There has been a film about his life and work and the country has tried to make amends for their dreadful treatment of gay people including Alan Turing in the 1950's. In 2013 the Queen issued a royal pardon. In our new edition we are publishing the text of the official public apology made be the then prime minister, Gordon Brown in 2009. This alone makes this a commemorative edition, but we have done more to make this a special book. Readers can still enjoy the exciting adventure created by Paul Morris, the author. Although the adventure relies on time travel, the historical elements were carefully researched and that has made the book popular with both children and the adults who know much of the history. The main protagonist, Danny travels back in time and meets Alan Turing first as a young boy. He is cycling over 40 miles to his new school because the general strike had cancelled public transport. This, of course, is a factual occurrence and it would not take much to imagine that on this long ride a young boy might feel like giving up or that something unexpected happens, both possibilities used by Paul to draw in the reader. Then there follows a much more dangerous meeting in the secret world of Bletchley Park. Through talks and workshops featuring his book, Paul has inspired children and adults to find out more about Alan Turing, his life and his work. and this led to the inclusion in this special edition of the very best pieces of writing by children and young people who entered our 2018/19 writing competition. The outstanding quality of their work is a very fitting and touching tribute to Professor Turing. Another addition is the list of books, supplied to us by the Sherborne librarian that the schoolboy, Alan borrowed from the school library - surely of special interest to all librarians and teachers. Finally, we have teamed up with our very own cryptographer, Jo Welch, who has provided three coded messages for readers to crack. How will readers know if they have cracked these codes? Can you keep a secret and never every tell? - the mantra of those serving in Bletchley Park during World War 2.
