Dickens, Religion and Society examines the centrality of Dickens's
religious attitudes to the social criticism he is famous for,
shedding new light in the process on such matters as the
presentation of Fagin as a villainous Jew, the hostile portrayal of
trade unions in Hard Times and Dickens's sentimentality.
The Defense Department has long hoped that its needs for space
products and services could be supplied by an industrial base that
is sustained by commercial sales. That day has not yet arrived,
despite years of targeted purchases, investments, and acquisition
reform. The beacons of the past decade's policy competition and
technology investment cannot bring it to pass. A more promising
approach is found in a strategic outlook on research, development,
and procurement. Such an approach probably cannot be sustained, but
working toward it would reduce the incidence of counterproductive
policies. Future programs are likely to achieve innovation and cost
control in the same way that past programs did through active
government participation and managed competition.
The Maxwell Papers, the Air War College's occasional papers series,
focus on current and future issues of interest to the Air Force and
US Department of Defense. The first Maxwell Papers was published in
May of 1996 with the Air University Commander's signature on the
foreword. Maxwell Papers are open to all interested authors,
particularly Air War College faculty and students, but also to
other officers and analysts. Maxwell Papers have been distributed
to over 400 addresses including all senior Air Force and US
Department of Defense decision makers, Professional Military
Education (PME) schools, contractors, and other US agencies, and
more than 40 foreign air forces and institutions. This document is
a Air War College Maxwell Paper.
'Catholicism Revisited' is an attempt to render Roman Catholicism
more credible. The book rests on the author's conviction that a
fuller and more correct understanding of Catholicism as a religion
can emerge only from a radical reappraisal of the salvific role of
Jesus' humanity, and of his human faith, hope and love, in line
with the basic and central doctrines of the Incarnation and the
Trinity. Being a Catholic means sharing in an ordinary but truly
mystical way in the spirit of Jesus' human faith, hope and love,
and to the maintenance of this insight and the faith-vision of
reality it entails all else must yield precedence - the
conventional notion of God, the necessary system of Catholic
beliefs which support the faith-vision, and the Church itself. In
the course of the book many fundamental issues are raised and
discussed, not least the metaphorical nature of theology, the
connection between faith and beliefs, the meaning and use of
Catholic doctrines, the actual experience of being human. It is in
the light of these issues that the author sees an urgent need to
re-imagine the God of Catholicism. A born Catholic, Robert
Butterworth was educated by the Jesuits and spent forty years in
the Society of Jesus. He read classics at Oxford and completed his
doctorate in early Christian theology at the Gregorian University
in Rome. During more than twenty years as Head of Department he
taught theology at Heythrop College in the University of London and
at Roehampton University. On retirement from academia and from the
Society he married and now lives near London. He has published
autobiographical reflections on his experiences in 'The Detour'
(Gracewing, 2005).
