Exploring what the early English Protestants came to believe about
the afterlife, and how they arrived at their positions, this
much-needed book fills a gap in the scholarly literature. In
surveying the authorised doctrinal works of the English church
through the Reformation period, the progress of eschatological
thinking is traced from the earliest days of change to the
solidification of the formularies which remain binding across the
worldwide Anglican Church today. Fresh observations are made on
some well-known texts such as the Books of Common Prayer, Articles
of Religion and official Tudor homilies, and these are complemented
by commentary on surprisingly understudied documents of the period
including primers, catechisms, and the paratexts of the early
printed English Bibles. The result is a fascinating study of the
English reformers’ navigation past both Roman Catholic and
radical anabaptist beliefs, and it shows that their arrival at a
relatively barren destination was due in part to a complete switch
in theological priorities and in part to a fear of the implications
of formally adopting some of the highly contested views.
Establishment Eschatology will prove to be an important resource
for students and scholars of England’s early modern religious and
cultural history.
When Microsoft made Visual Basic into an object-oriented
programming language, millions of VB developers resisted the change
to the .NET platform. Now, after integrating feedback from their
customers and creating Visual Basic 2005, Microsoft finally has the
right carrot. Visual Basic 2005 offers the power of the .NET
platform, yet restores the speed and convenience of Visual Basic.
Accordingly, we've revised the classic in a Nutshell guide to the
Visual Basic language to cover the Visual Basic 2005 version and
all of its new features. Unlike other books on the subject, Visual
Basic 2005 in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition doesn't assume you're a
novice. It's a detailed, professional reference to the Visual Basic
language-a reference that you can use to jog your memory about a
particular language element or parameter. It'll also come in handy
when you want to make sure that there isn't some "gotcha" you've
overlooked with a particular language feature. The book is divided
into three major parts: Part I introduces the main features and
concepts behind Visual Basic programming; Part II thoroughly
details all the functions, statements, directives, objects, and
object members that make up the Visual Basic language; and Part III
contains a series of helpful appendices. Some of the new features
covered include Generics, a convenient new library called My
Namespace, and the operators used to manipulate data in Visual
Basic. No matter how much experience you have programming with
Visual Basic, you want Visual Basic 2005 in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition
close by, both as a standard reference guide and as a tool for
troubleshooting and identifying programming problems.
This book will help you solve more than 300 of the most common and
not-so-common tasks that working Visual Basic 2005 programmers face
every day. If you're a seasoned .NET developer, beginning Visual
Basic programmer, or a developer seeking a simple and clear
migration path from VB6 to Visual Basic 2005, the "Visual Basic
2005 Cookbook" delivers a practical collection of problem-solving
recipes for a broad range of Visual Basic programming tasks. The
concise solutions and examples in the Visual Basic 2005 Cookbook
range from simple tasks to the more complex, organized by the types
of problems you need to solve. Nearly every recipe contains a
complete, documented code sample showing you how to solve the
specific problem, as well as a discussion of how the underlying
technology works and that outlines alternatives, limitations, and
other considerations. As with all O'Reilly Cookbooks, each recipe
helps you quickly understand a problem, learn how to solve it, and
anticipate potential tradeoffs or ramifications. Useful features of
the book include: over 300 recipes written in the familiar O'Reilly
Problem-Solution-Discussion format; hundreds of code snippets,
examples and complete solutions available for download; VB6 updates
to alert VB6 programmers to code-breaking changes in Visual Basic
2005; recipes that target Visual Basic 2005 features not included
in previous releases; code examples covering everyday data
manipulation techniques and language fundamentals; advanced
projects focusing on multimedia and mathematical transformations
using linear algebraic methods; and, specialized topics covering
files and file systems, printing, and databases. In addition,
you'll find chapters on cryptography and compression, graphics, and
special programming techniques. Whether you're a beginner or an
expert, the "Visual Basic 2005 Cookbook" is sure to save you time,
serving up the code you need, when you need it.
This book provides some of the theological, pastoral, and practical
resources that preachers will require if they are to prepare
effective long-range preaching programs that cover the breadth of
Scripture.
