The past two decades have witnessed a revival of the concept of
'civil society'. From East Central Europe to Latin America and East
Asia to the recent calls for a 'European civil society' and a
'global civil society', the concept signifies the need for national
and supra-national forms of civic commitment against both
unjustified state domination and neo-liberal marketization.
Reviewing the long history of the concept, its use in various
regional contexts and its place in critical political theory, this
book takes comprehensive stock of these debates and asks about the
potential of the concept of civil society in guiding political
transformations towards fuller understandings of liberty and
democracy. Peter Wagner is Professor of Social and Political Theory
at the European University Institute, Florence, and Professor of
Sociology at the University of Warwick. His publications in social
and political philosophy and historical and political sociology
include A Sociology of Modernity (1994), Theorizing Modernity
(2001), A History and Theory of the Social Sciences (2001), and The
Political Constitution of Modern Capitalism (co-editor, forthcoming
2005).
Jesus revealed Himself to be the cornerstone of the church. But He
has built His church, and continues to build it, through apostles
and prophets, people who are empowered by the Holy Spirit. Now a
leader of the New Apostolic Reformation gives us new insights into
how the people called to crucial roles in the church--apostles,
prophets, evangelists, pastor and teachers--must work together to
fulfill their divine purpose. For the first time since the Early
Church, God is harnessing apostles and prophets to fulfill the
promises of His divine plan. Prepare to play your part!
Civil society stands for one of the most ambitious projects and
influential concepts relating to the study of modern societies.
This series deals with the multiple languages, different layers,
and diverse practices of existing and emerging civil societies in
Europe and asks how far the renewed interest in the concept can
contribute to the gradual evolution of a larger European civil
society. The past two decades have witnessed a revival of the
concept of civil society. From East Central Europe to Latin America
and East Asia to the recent calls for a European civil society and
a global civil society, the concept signifies the need for national
and supra - national forms of civic commitment against both
unjustified state domination and neo - liberal marketization.

regional contexts, and its place in critical political theory, this
book takes comprehensive stock of these debates and asks about the

Collected in this volume are the best articles and symposia from
Poverty & Race, the bimonthly newsletter journal of The Poverty
& Race Research Action Council (PRRAC), a Washington, DC-based
national public interest organization founded in 1990. Poverty
& Race in America includes over six-dozen works originally
published between mid-2001 and 2005, many of which have been
updated and revised. The contributors represent the best of
progressive thought and activism on America's two most salient, and
seemingly intractable, domestic problems-race and poverty. Divided
into topical sections, this volume considers the issues of race,
poverty, housing, education, health, and democracy. Poverty &
Race in America is especially concerned with the links between and
among these areas, both for purposes of analysis and policy
prescriptions. Featuring a foreword by Congressman Jesse L.
Jackson, Jr., this edited collection will be of great interest to
policy makers and human rights activists and hopefully stimulate
creative thought and action to bring an end to racism and poverty.

Transformation of the city was the battle cry in the 1990s. How far
have we come since then? How do apostles fit into the urban
landscape? How do they line up with God's plans? C. Peter Wagner
has been writing on these subjects for a number of years, and now
he brings city transformation and the role of apostles together in
one volume. This book is a call for apostles to assume their
rightful sphere of authority to see God's will accomplished here on
earth. Wagner relates his decades of experiences and those of
others, showing the role of apostles not only in the traditional
church, but also in the extended church. Apostles Today offers
vision for the role of apostles in healthy churches, workplaces and
cities.

Right now, someone you know is in desperate need of your prayers.
It's the person out on the front line, leading God's army into the
world to proclaim His good news. Pastors, teachers, and all types
of leaders are under severe attack from the enemy. And they're
depending on the prayers of those who care to help see them
through. You can help these leaders by reinforcing them through
intercessory prayer. In this book, Peter Wagner not only teaches
the biblical basis for intercessory prayer, but also shares who is
and who isn't an intercessor, why leaders themselves often don't
pray enough, what the three types of personal intercessors are, and
how you can recruit prayer partners. The Prayer Shield is a
complete guide to becoming a personal intercessor. Discover how you
can impart God's strength and protection in support of those
advancing the Kingdom of God here on earth.
This monograph provides the theoretical foundations needed for the
construction of fundamental solutions and fundamental matrices of
(systems of) linear partial differential equations. Many
illustrative examples also show techniques for finding such
solutions in terms of integrals. Particular attention is given to
developing the fundamentals of distribution theory, accompanied by
calculations of fundamental solutions. The main part of the book
deals with existence theorems and uniqueness criteria, the method
of parameter integration, the investigation of quasihyperbolic
systems by means of Fourier and Laplace transforms, and the
representation of fundamental solutions of homogeneous elliptic
operators with the help of Abelian integrals. In addition to
rigorous distributional derivations and verifications of
fundamental solutions, the book also shows how to construct
fundamental solutions (matrices) of many physically relevant
operators (systems), in elasticity, thermoelasticity,
hexagonal/cubic elastodynamics, for Maxwell's system and others.
The book mainly addresses researchers and lecturers who work with
partial differential equations. However, it also offers a valuable
resource for students with a solid background in vector calculus,
complex analysis and functional analysis.
This book, which represents probably the most comprehensive
discussion of the emergence of modem social science yet produced,
is of far more than merely historical interest. The contributors
set out to rewrite the history of the social sciences and to show
the limitations of conventional conceptions of their development.
These tasks they accomplish with great success and much
distinction. Yet in so doing they contribute in a direct way to our
understanding of the relation between social analysis and the
nature of human societies today. The brilliant and distinctive
perspective of the papers in this collection is to demonstrate,
with many specific examples, that social science and modem
institutions have helped shape each other in mutual interplay.
Modem systems are in some part con stituted through the reflexive
incorporation of developing social science knowledge; on the other
hand, the social sciences organise themselves in terms of a
continuing reflection upon the evolution of those systems. Such a
perspective, as Wagner and Wittrock in particular make clear, does
not in any way either impugn the status of knowledge claims made
within social science or destroy the independent reality of social
institutions. The book questions the notion that the
institutionalising of the social sciences can be understood as a
process of their increasing autonomy from extemal social
connections. 'Autonomy' forms a mode of legitima tion and a basis
of power rather than a distinctive phenomenon as such."
With contributions of scholars from Europe and North America, this
book covers the representation of women in word and image in the
context of changing frames of mentalities in two distinct periods -
the Enlightenment and postmodernism. Subjects and artists/authors
covered include prostitution, English and French art (Hogarth,
Reynolds, Beardsley, Greuze), postmodern feminist theatre, recent
fiction by Cormac McCarthy, Margaret Atwood and Spanish literature.
Special chapters deal with the construction of women in recent
popular animated cartoons and computer games.

The term 'Global South' marks a new attempt a providing order and
meaning in the current global political constellation, replacing
the term 'Third World'. But the term 'Global South' is fraught with
many ambiguities. This book explores the possible meanings of this
new distinction and assesses the advantages and disadvantages of
adopting it for understanding the contemporary world. It casts a
wide exploratory net, looking at how the way that we interpret the
world has changed over time.
It is often taken for granted that modernity emerged in Europe and
diffused from there across the world. This book questions that
assumption and re-examines the question of European modernity in
the light of world history. Bo Strath and Peter Wagner re-position
Europe in the global context of the 19th and 20th centuries. They
show that Europe is less modern than has been assumed, and
modernity less European and thus decentre Europe in a way that
makes room for a wider historical perspective. Adopting a thematic
structure, the authors reconceive the idea of European modernity in
relation to key topics such as democracy, capitalism and market
society, individual autonomy, religion and politics. European
Modernity is an important addition to the literature that will be
of interest to all students and scholars of modern European
history.

This book acknowledges the severe problems with effective and
significant collective action, but arrives at a more optimistic
diagnosis of our time by rethinking the political from the angle of
the experiences with progressive and conservative collective action
in different parts of the globe: Brazil, South Africa and Europe.
By doing so, it contributes a critical perspective to the debate
about the possible impact of parts of the Global South for positive
social and political developments worldwide.
Nine Lenses on the World: the Enneagram Perspective describes nine
personality styles each with its own way of looking at and
responding to the world. Our preferred paradigm informs us about
what's important(what we should look for) and what might threaten
our values (what we should look out for). Our lenses can filter the
world accurately or distort our vision. Our schemas can be pliant
and adaptable or rigid and maladaptive. We can don other lenses and
points of view to perceive better what our vision might be blind
to. the Enneagram helps us too look at our lenses as well as
through them.
