Ancient Near Eastern Literature and the Hebrew Scriptures About the Fatherhood of God

Ancient Near Eastern Literature and the Hebrew Scriptures About the Fatherhood of God

David R. Tasker

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
2004
sidottu
Ancient Near Eastern Literature and the Hebrew Scriptures About the Fatherhood of God discusses some of the main « father-god concepts of the people of the Ancient Near East, then examines the eighteen occurrences of God's fatherhood specifically mentioned in Hebrew Scripture. From these sources, the book develops a theology of God's fatherhood that honors both ancient and modern scrutiny. Although many studies have explored the subject of the fatherhood of God - mostly from the perspective of nonbiblical disciplines, and through the lens of Greco-Roman mythology - this book takes into account the wealth of material from the ancient Near East, the birthplace of the Hebrew Scriptures.

Analysis of Communication Networks

Analysis of Communication Networks

David R. (EDT) McDonald; Stephen R. E. (EDT) Turner

Amer Mathematical Society
2000
sidottu
This volume consists of the proceedings of the Workshop on Analysis and Simulation of Communication Networks held at The Fields Institute (Toronto). The workshop was divided into two main themes, entitled 'Stability and Load Balancing of a Network of Call Centers' and 'Traffic and Performance'. The call center industry is large and fast-growing. In order to provide top-notch customer service, it needs good mathematical models. The first part of the volume focuses on probabilistic issues involved in optimizing the performance of a call center. While this was the motivating application, many of the papers are also applicable to more general distributed queuing networks.The second part of the volume discusses the characterization of traffic streams and how to estimate their impact on the performance of a queuing system. The performance of queues under worst-case traffic flows or flows with long bursts is treated. These studies are motivated by questions about buffer dimensioning and call admission control in ATM or IP networks. This volume will serve researchers as a comprehensive, state-of-the-art reference source on developments in this rapidly expanding field.Predicting response times in processor-sharing queues by A.R. Ward and W. Whitt Bilingual server call centres by D. A. Stanford and W. K. Grassmann On dynamic scheduling of a parallel server system with complete resource pooling by R. J.

Catastrophic Coastal Storms

Catastrophic Coastal Storms

David R. Godschalk; David J. Brower; Timothy Beatley

Duke University Press
1989
sidottu
As people cluster on the coast in increasing numbers, coastal populations become more vulnerable to severe damage from catastrophic coastal storms. The authors contented that current public policy has proved unable to cope with the growing problem, and in response they present a comprehensive analysis of coastal storm hazards, standard policy approaches, and promising new means of managing coastal growth.Catastrophic Coastal Storms offers a solution to the policy problem by proposing a merger of hazard mitigation with development management, basing this on extensive surveys of at-risk coastal locations and case studies of post-hurricane recovery. Starting with the local level of government and proceeding to state and federal levels, the authors propose a strategy for overcoming the formidable obstacles to safeguarding the shoreline population and its structures from hurricanes and other severe storms.

Jack Rittenhouse

Jack Rittenhouse

David R. Farmer

UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO PRESS
2026
sidottu
The first biography of Jack D. Rittenhouse, the pioneering twentieth-century writer, printer, publisher, Western historian, antiquarian bookman, advertising executive, and chronicler of the golden age of Route 66. Jack Rittenhouse was a multi-dimensional individual for whom books were a way of life. He helped establish and elevate printing arts, writing, editing, and publishing in the emerging field of Western history. A founding member of the Western History Association, he is recognized annually by the Independent Book Publishers Association with their Jack Rittenhouse Award, “given in memory of the West’s legendary bookman.” Dropping out of college amid the Depression for lack of funds, Rittenhouse rode the rails to New York, where he picked up a job in the mail room at Alfred A. Knopf. At Knopf he would open all the incoming correspondence before delivering it to the offices upstairs, and in the evenings he would make notes on what he had learned about book publishing from reading the morning mail, which included correspondence from Willa Cather, H. L. Mencken, and many others. When he learned he could not advance in the publishing world without a college degree, he entered the advertising business and ultimately became a senior partner at a major firm. He collected books, vintage type, and printing presses and read widely on the history of the American West. Early in his career Jack quietly started his own bookselling business on the side. In 1946 he launched his own award-winning publishing venture, Stagecoach Press, with A Guide Book to Highway 66 and soon became known as an authority on The Main Street of America. Subsequently, he printed and published fifty Stagecoach Press books over the next twenty-one years. Jack Rittenhouse tells the story of a man recognized for his knowledge, scholarship, and devotion to the history of the West and to the books that brought it to life.

Inspiration

Inspiration

David R. Law

Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd.
2001
nidottu
Law develops his theory of inspiration starting with texts as varied as Virgil's Aeneid and Shakespeare's plays before focusing on the Bible. Following Karl Jaspers, Law views all human knowledge as having limits beyond which there exists the Transcendent. He believes that there are symbols, signs and characters-or ciphers-that inhabit religion and art and which point beyond these horizons. Perceiving these is at the heart of inspiration and the knowledge of God. For Law, the key to the question of inspiration and the Bible lies with understanding the reader's encounter with these ciphers, the supreme of which is Christ.

Heidegger: A Guide for the Perplexed

Heidegger: A Guide for the Perplexed

David R. Cerbone

Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd.
2008
sidottu
Martin Heidegger is one of the twentieth century's most influential, controversial and challenging philosophers. His "Being and Time" is a landmark text in modern philosophy, required reading for anyone studying Continental thought. However, the concepts encountered in Heidegger are intricate and frequently confusing, while the language through which they are articulated is deliberately dense and obscure. "Heidegger: A Guide for the Perplexed" is a thorough, cogent and reliable account of Heidegger's philosophy, ideal for the student who needs to reach a sound understanding of this complex and important thinker. The book covers Heidegger's oeuvre in its entirety, offering not only exposition of "Being and Time", but also his later work.His perspectives on, and contributions to, both ontology and phenomenology are explored in full, as is the concept of Dasein, Heidegger's term for the human way of existence. Geared toward the specific requirements of students who need to reach a sound understanding of Heidegger's philosophy, this is the ideal companion to the study of this most influential and challenging of twentieth century philosophers." Continuum's Guides for the Perplexed" are clear, concise and accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that students and readers can find especially challenging - or indeed downright bewildering. Concentrating specifically on what it is that makes the subject difficult to grasp, these books explain and explore key themes and ideas, guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of demanding material.

The Gospel of the Son of God – An Introduction to Matthew

The Gospel of the Son of God – An Introduction to Matthew

David R. Bauer

IVP Academic
2019
nidottu
From beginning to end, the very structure of the Gospel of Matthew emphasizes that Jesus is the Son of God. At climactic points Jesus is so identified—by Peter, by a Roman centurion, by Jesus himself, and by God the Father. With The Gospel of the Son of God, David Bauer provides a comprehensive introduction to this Gospel that has been so foundational to the Christian church. Arguing that the nature of Matthew itself should provide us with the framework for its study, he presents a holistic inductive approach with a literary, theological, and canonical focus. In the first section on orientation, Bauer explores issues of genre, interpretive methods, authorship, audience, and literary structure. Then he moves to interpretation, guiding readers through the meaning of sections of the text. Finally, the reflection section synthesizes and develops major theological themes emerging from the interpretation, including Christology, salvation history, eschatology, and discipleship. While providing a sound basis for the study of Matthew, Bauer goes beyond typical introductory issues to draw out the rich theological vision of the Gospel. His careful scholarship and clear exposition will make this a valuable resource for college and seminary students and pastors.

Quantitative-Qualitative Friction Ridge Analysis

Quantitative-Qualitative Friction Ridge Analysis

David R. Ashbaugh

CRC Press Inc
1999
sidottu
A thumb print left at the scene of a grisly murder. Fingerprints taken from a getaway car used in a bank robbery. A palm print recovered from the shattered glass door of a burglarized home. Indeed, where crimes are committed, careless perpetrators will invariably leave behind the critical pieces of evidence—most likely in the form of fingerprints—needed to catch and convict them. But the science of fingerprint identification isn’t always as cut and dry as detective novels and movies make it out to be.Quantitative-Qualitative Friction Ridge Analysis, a new book in the ongoing Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations series, examines the latest methods and techniques in the science of friction ridge identification, or ridgeology. David R. Ashbaugh examines every facet of the discipline, from the history of friction ridge identification and its earliest pioneers and researchers, to the scientific basis and the various steps of the identification process. The structure and growth of friction skin and how it can leave latent or visible prints are examined, as well as advanced identification methods in ridgeology, including Poroscopy, Edgeoscopy, Pressure Distortion and Complex or Problem Print Analysis. The book, which features several detailed illustrations and photographs, also includes a new method for Palmar Flexion Crease Identification (palm lines) designed by the author and which has helped solve several criminal cases where fingerprints were not available. For crime scene technicians, forensic identification specialists, or anyone else pursuing a career in forensic science, this book is arguably the definitive source in the science of friction ridge identification.
