To the Church in Rome

To the Church in Rome

Douglas Wilson

Canon Press
2022

Romans is more than a collection of proof texts for Reformed theology. It is an exposition of God's plan to take back the world.In this new commentary, Douglas Wilson tackles Paul's meaty letter passage by passage, explaining Paul's central message of the Gospel: Jesus's death and resurrection have transformed the world. God has brought an end to the old covenant and ushered in a new covenant, joining Jews and Gentiles in one new people. And if Jesus is Lord, then Caesar is not, and thus the Gospel requires faithful Christians to defy tyrants when they usurp Jesus's place.If Romans hasn't seemed so before, then certainly by the end of this commentary it will appear to you as it did to Protestant theologian Fr d ric Godet-as "the cathedral of Christian faith."
Europe Without Baedeker: Sketches Among the Ruins of Italy, Greece and England, with Notes from a Diary of 1963-64: Paris, Rome, Budapest
First published in 1947, Edmund Wilson's Europe without Baedeker returns to print with personal notes from the preeminent author-critic. This volume provides an informative and vivid account of postwar Europe in the countries of Italy, Greece, and England, as well as diary entries from Wilson's many travels. "The author--in measured, often seductive prose, makes a telling, thoughtful profile of the places visited, the people seen, and leaves in the mind a distressing picture to contemplate." - Kirkus Reviews

From cops who are paragons of virtue, to cops who are as bad as the bad guys...from surly loners, to upbeat partners...from detectives who pursue painstaking investigation, to loose cannons who just want to kick down the door, the heroes and anti-heroes of TV police dramas are part of who we are. They enter our living rooms and tell us tall tales about the social contract that exists between the citizen and the police. Love them or loathe them--according to the ratings, we love them--they serve a function. They've entertained, informed and sometimes infuriated audiences for more than 60 years. This book examines Dragnet, Highway Patrol, Naked City, The Untouchables, The F.B.I., Columbo, Hawaii Five-O, Kojak, Starsky & Hutch, Hill Street Blues, Cagney & Lacey, Miami Vice, Law & Order, Homicide: Life on the Street, NYPD Blue, CSI, The Shield, The Wire, and Justified. It's time to take another look at the "perps," the "vics" and the boys and girls in blue, and ask how their representation intersects with questions of class, gender, sexuality, and "race." What is their socio-cultural agenda? What is their relation to genre and televisuality? And why is it that when a TV cop gives a witness his card and says, "call me," that witness always ends up on a slab?

Rough Justice

Rough Justice recounts the experiences of victims of police and criminal justice failings through the stories of some who fought back, often with amazing commitment and courage. Their feelings encompass frustration, confusion, helplessness and anger. Their encounters affected their trust, certainty and confidence in British justice, sometimes for a lifetime. In 2006 Prime Minister David Cameron declared the police the 'last great unreformed public service' but Governments have dodged fundamental change. Police still investigate and often 'clear' themselves, and avoid prosecution more than Joe Public. A minority practice deception and dubious tactics to obscure what is happening. At a time when the Home Office is reviewing police integrity and discipline, the book also looks at the manipulation of crime statistics, argues that the Independent Police Complaints Commission is unfit for purpose and points to unfairness underpinning a crisis of legitimacy. As former Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer commented, 'Britain's criminal justice system fails the vulnerable'.It lets down law-abiding people too (including MPs) through free-style policing and a 'because we can' approach. It could it happen to you. Will anything ever change? When will politicians face up to the need for action?

The End of the Palestine Mandate

The End of the Palestine Mandate

Louis Wm Roger; Stookey Robert Wilson

The termination of the British Mandate in Palestine was a momentous turning point in Middle Eastern history, marked by the failure of the British to bring about a workable political composition between the Arab and Jewish communities, the subsequent referral of the problem to the United Nations and the emergence of the state of Israel, in part through effective diplomacy, but more particularly by force of arms. The underlying problems caused by the Mandate persist to this day, as intractable as ever, with serious consequences both for local security and international relations. This book provides a detailed overview of the dispute's historical origins, setting forth, one by one, the perspectives, motivations and objectives of the principal actors in the termination of the Mandate: Great Britain, as the mandatory power; the United States, as the pivot of the Zionist movement; the Soviet Union, preoccupied with the liquidation of the Western empires; and, the Zionists and the Arabs, both the Palestinians and the sovereign Arab states. Featuring a new Introduction by Wm.Roger Louis, this classic work provides important insights into this crucial episode in the history of the Middle East.

The Transition to Retirement (TTR) program aims to help older people with long-term disability gradually build an active and socially inclusive retirement lifestyle through volunteering and participating in mainstream community groups. Members of these groups are trained to act as mentors and provide support. The three-year TTR research project and subsequent years of TTR service delivery have shown that this approach is feasible and has enduring positive outcomes for people with disability, mentors and community groups.The TTR manual and video material aim to make these benefits available more widely. They provide implementation details for all components of the TTR program, as well as practical tips and accounts of individual participant’s experiences. DVD stories and video clips illustrate key issues. Planning forms are also included, together with an explanation of the process of teaching a person with long-term disability to use public transport independently. The TTR program is consistent with Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) which focuses on building community participation and independence, and with the National Disability Strategy’s emphasis on promoting social inclusion in community settings.
