Book Description
J rgen Moltmann formulates necessary questions about the significance of Jesus the Christ for persons today. He offers a compelling portrait of the earthly Jesus as the divine brother in our distress and suffering and points to the risen Christ as the warrant for the "future in which God will restore everything . . . and gather everything into his kingdom." Urging that acknowledgment of Christ and discipleship are two sides of the same coin, Moltmann contends that the question of Jesus Christ for today is not just an intellectual one. Moltmann takes fresh approaches to a number of crucial topics: Jesus and the kingdom of God, the passion of Christ and the pain of God, Jesus as brother of the tortured, and the resurrection of Christ as hope for the world, the cosmic Christ, Jesus in Jewish- Christian dialogue, the future of God, and others.

Calling in Today's World
Author: Kathleen A. Cahalan
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467446025
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Comparative religious insights into the meaning of vocation in today's world The concept of "vocation" or "calling" is a distinctively Christian concern, grounded in the long-held belief that we find our meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in God. But what about religions other than Christianity? What does it mean for someone from another faith tradition to understand calling or vocation? In this book contributors with expertise in Catholic and Protestant Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Daoism, and secular humanism explore the idea of calling from these eight faith perspectives. The contributors search their respective traditions' sacred texts, key figures, practices, and concepts for wisdom on the meaning of vocation. Greater understanding of diverse faith traditions, say Kathleen Cahalan and Douglas Schuurman, will hopefully increase and improve efforts to build a better, more humane world. CONTRIBUTORS Mark Berkson (Confucianism and Daoism) Kathleen A. Cahalan (Catholicism) Amy Eilberg (Judaism) John Kelsay (Islam) Edward Langerak (Secularism) Anantanand Rambachan (Hinduism) Douglas J. Schuurman (Protestantism) Mark Unno (Buddhism)

What Does Islam Mean in Today's World?
Author: William Stoddart
Publisher: World Wisdom, Inc
ISBN: 1936597144
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Nowadays the religion of Islam, which is still relatively unknown in the West, is forcefully brought to the public's attention by the acts and threats of the Islamic terrorists. As a result, the question is repeatedly asked: What kind of religion is this? The aim of this book is to argue that today traditional Christianity has nothing to fear from traditional Islam. In spite of appearances, the two ancient religions are really allies; they have common enemies and they are united in their opposition to all kinds of modern errors and immoralities, including materialism and secularism. Consequently, a true notion of Islam and indeed of every complete and uncorrupted religion, is what the present book taken in its entirety is all about. In surveying Islam, Stoddart provides a wealth of relevant background information and an illuminating treatise on traditional art highlighting the often neglected role of art and beauty in spirituality. The text is accompanied by a map and seven colour illustrations.

Competition Policy and Intellectual Property in Today's Global Economy
Author: Robert D. Anderson
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107194369
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 925
Book Description
The fast-evolving relationship between the promotion of welfare-enhancing competition and the balanced protection of intellectual property (IP) rights has attracted the attention of policymakers, analysts and scholars. This interest is inevitable in an environment that lays ever greater emphasis on the management of knowledge and innovation and on mechanisms to ensure that the public derives the expected social and economic benefits from this innovation and the spread of knowledge. This book looks at the positive linkage between IP and competition in jurisdictions around the world, surveying developments and policy issues from an international and comparative perspective. It includes analysis of key doctrinal and policy issues by leading academics and practitioners from around the globe and a cutting-edge survey of related developments across both developed and developing economies. It also situates current policy developments at the national level in the context of multilateral developments, at WIPO, WTO and elsewhere.

Union of Beneficence the World Today and the World Tomorrow
Author: Mohammad Salim Khan
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 149076786X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
The aim is to create new vistas of discovery and have a new look at the histories of nations to develop an education system that will be an integrated system of education. This system of education will have the capacity to teach languages at a mass level and give the children capability, character, and knowledge to be able to stand on their own feet at an early age. Similarly, in the field of business and agriculture, we feel there is a need for the better utilization of land and water resources, development of barren lands, and development of new varieties of food so as to ensure a balance where the undernourished get the food and the surplus food does not get to be thrown away by the developed nations. Development of a new political system where the corrupt and terrorist segments of the society, who are creating chaos and anarchy, are eliminated. Money should not be let into the hands of terrorists and crooks. A system where people are given position on merit rather than their relationship with the corrupt people.
