Judaism, Christianity and Islam: An Introduction to Monotheism shows how a shared monotheistic legacy frames and helps explain the commonalities and disagreements among Judaism, Christianity and Islam and their significant denominations in the world today. Taking a thematic approach and covering both historical and contemporary dimensions, the authors discuss how contemporary geographic and cultural contexts shape the expression of monotheism in the three religions. It covers differences between religious expressions in Israeli Judaism, Latin American Christianity and British Islam. Topics discussed include scripture, creation, covenant and identity, ritual, ethics, peoplehood and community, redemption, salvation, life after death, gender, sexuality and marriage. This introductory text, which contains over 30 images, a map, a timeline, chapter afterthoughts and critical questions, is written by three authors with extensive teaching experience, each a specialist in one of the three monotheistic traditions.

Through the Sands of Time

In 1796, the Jews of St. Thomas founded the first Jewish congregation on this Caribbean island. By 1803, new arrivals from England, France, and the neighboring islands of St. Eustatius and Curaçao increased the original number from a handful of congregants to twenty-two families. Their small synagogue was destroyed by fires and rebuilt several times. The congregation numbered sixty-four families by the time the present synagogue was erected in 1833. It is by now the oldest synagogue in continuous use under the American flag. The congregation was also among the first to receive copies of the new West London Reform liturgy when it came out in 1841 and the first in this hemisphere to hold a Jewish confirmation ceremony, two years later. In addition, the St. Thomas Synagogue has produced its own unique religious literature relating to hurricanes! While the synagogue has served for over 200 years as a central religious and social gathering place, the Jews of St. Thomas have been highly mobile members of a progressive, cosmopolitan society that at times rivaled any in the world. As an accepted part of the larger community, members were accomplished, model citizens in a highly tolerant Danish colonial society. Jews took positions in government, served as auctioneers, participated in the local Masonic lodges, and represented other countries as consuls in St. Thomas. As traders in a mercantile culture, the Jews contributed to the activity of one of the world's busiest harbors and played a crucial role in St. Thomas's nineteenth-century rise to prominence in the northern Caribbean.

Selecting International Judges

Selecting International Judges

Ruth MacKenzie; Kate Malleson; Penny Martin; Philippe Sands QC

Oxford University Press
2010
sidottu
This book examines the way international court judges are chosen. Focusing principally on the judicial selection procedures of the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court, it provides the first detailed examination of how the selection process works in practice at national and international levels: what factors determine whether a state will nominate a candidate? How is a candidate identified? What factors influence success or failure? What are the respective roles of merit, politics, and other considerations in the nomination and election process? The research was based on interviews, case studies and survey data in a range of different states. It concludes that although the nature and quality of nomination and election processes vary widely, a common theme indicates the powerful influence of domestic and international political considerations, and the significant role of a small group of diplomats, civil servants, lawyers, and academics, often without transparency or accountability. The processes allow overt political considerations to be introduced throughout the decision-making process in ways that may detract from the selection of the most highly qualified candidates and, ultimately, undermine independence. This is particularly evident in the election campaigning that has become a defining feature of the selection process, accompanied by widespread vote trading and reciprocal agreements between states. The effect of these practices is often to undermine the role of statutory selection criteria and to favour candidates from more politically powerful states. The book reviews new judicial selection models adopted or proposed in other international and regional courts, and considers a number of proposals for change to promote more independent, transparent, and merit-based nomination and election procedures.

In this Grounded Sci-Fi Epic, soon to be a series on Amazon Prime, Alexander is rescued at age 23 from Saturn's moon Rhea after being marooned for 14 years and arrives on Earth the most famous man on the planet. However, he's not a normal human being after all that time, and he reveals to a few that in 5 years a rogue planetoid will collide with Earth and destroy our planet forever, but he can save a small number of people by time travel. He sends one group to the past at the height of the ancient Mayan civilization where they find themselves in a world of shamanic magic, human sacrifice and war, and he sends another group to the future where they wind up in Albion an island city-state with euth clinics, biologically engineered slaves, air-cars and intelligent machines. In "The One World", as the Mayans call it, Yuri becomes a shaman himself and learns the power to kill with only a shout. In Albion, Chloe and her infant daughter survive an overthrow of the government by rogue intelligent machines. Samsara Book One delivers gripping action and explores deep philosophical questions as only the sci-fi genre can do, and readers will eagerly anticipate Books Two and Three that include journeys to ancient Rome at the time of the rise of Islam, to Shaolin Temple where monks master kung fu, a visit with Nikola Tesla, and the resolution of the future war between humans and intelligent machines, which will be on shelves soon.

Peacemaking Women – Biblical Hope for Resolving Conflict

Peacemaking Women – Biblical Hope for Resolving Conflict

Baker Books, a division of Baker Publishing Group

Women have a strong desire for relational connections. Relationships between women can be especially enriching, but when conflict arises, they also can be especially damaging. Too many women approach conflict as if they were unbelievers-with gossip, spiteful actions, bitterness, and even hatred. In Peacemaking Women, Tara Klena Barthel and Judy Dabler offer a meaningful, lasting message to lead women out of conflict to a state of peace where they can live as representatives of Christ to one another and well as unbelievers. With advice that is firmly rooted in Scripture, the authors bring sound, practical help for women who want to know what the Bible says about conflict resolution and how to achieve peace in their relationships with God, self, and others.

Sandy missed the boy that raised her. She refused to connect with anyone that considered adopting her as a pet. She was terrified and sat in the corner shaking with fear. It seemed there was little hope of finding a home for this large, muscular dog. Could there be a family for such a lonely creature? A heart warming story that reminds us finding a real friend is worth the effort.
