Alcohol has been central to social, religious and personal use
throughout the history. Alcohol drinking goes back almost as far as
the human race does. A hundred years, therefore, may be seen as
only a flash. The past century, however, has witnessed a
fundamental change in dealing with alcohol problems. Hence, to give
an overview of a hundred years of alcohol polices is a rather
ambitious task and the contributions to this book shed only some
light on the way in which alcohol policy issues have changed in
this period.
This authoritative volume is relevant to both scientists and policy
makers providing a state of the art in alcohol policy from
different perspectives, covering both science/research/treatment
and prevention practice and linking these areas.
The concept of God's two kingdoms was foundational to Luther and
subsequent Lutheran theology. Since the middle of the nineteenth
century, that concept has been understood primarily as a political
concept. But is a political reading of the two kingdoms a
perversion of Luther's teaching?
Leading Reformation scholar William Wright contends that those who
read Luther politically and see in Luther a compartmentalized
approach to Christian life are misreading the Reformer. Wright
reassesses the original breadth of Luther's theology of the two
kingdoms and the cultural contexts from which it emerged. He argues
that Luther's two-kingdom worldview was not a justification for
living irresponsibly on planet earth.

Foundations of Contemporary Interpretation seeks to identify and
clarify the basic problems of interpretation that affect our
reading of the Bible today. This unique volume provides a
comprehensive and systematic coverage of the field of general
hermeneutics. Foundations of Contemporary Interpretation examines
the impact of specific academic disciplines on the interpretation
of the Bible. Previously published as separate volumes, its various
sections explore the interface between hermeneutics and literary
criticism, linguistics, history, science, and theology. Included in
Foundations of Contemporary Interpretation, each with its own
separate table of contents, are: -Has the Church Misread the Bible?
-- Moises Silva -Literary Approaches to Biblical Interpretation --
Tremper Longman III -God, Language, and Scripture -- Moises Silva
-The Art of Biblical History -- V. Philips Long -Science and
Hermeneutics -- Vern S. Poythress -The Study of Theology -- Richard
A. Muller. These six sections cover the interface between
hermeneutics and the major disciplines.

1929. The research-worker in the individual sciences can and must
give his attention solely to the known and the knowable; but the
philosopher must at the same time consider the unknown and the
unknowable. With this twofold vision we shall in these pages apply
ourselves to some of the problems of the soul; we shall seek to
elucidate them, and to solve them, so far as this is possible in
the present state of our knowledge; but we shall keep our minds on
the alert for the unexplained and the unsolved. Our aim will be not
a vague mysticism, but that learned ignorance, that recognition of
ignorance of the knowable. Contents: infinity of the soul;
individual and his destiny; journey into the past; dramaturgy of
life; Americanization of the soul; religion of the future;
