Beyond Sets
Author: Nicholas Rescher
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110319756
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
This book is the product of a collaboration stretching the years 2007-10, whose initial fruit was a paper on “Plenum Theory” published in Nous. The work grew out of the author’s conviction that standard set theory, which had evolved to meet the needs of mathematics, was not fully adequate to the less abstractly geared and rigidly determine needs of less finalized ranges of inquiry and deliberation.

The Regions Beyond

ISBN: 9781541040151

Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
This is a story of transformation. It is a story of evangelism, discipleship and church planting. It is a story of reaching the nations of the world with the gospel. It is an exciting story. In 1970 the Prescott Foursquare Church in Arizona was struggling. It had been morally violated and broken. It was a small abused congregation. At that time, Prescott was a rural town of about 17,000 persons in northwestern Arizona. Wayman Mitchell took the pastorate of the Prescott Foursquare Church in January. The addition of his family increased the size of the congregation to about two-dozen persons. From this small congregation in a small rural community God has raised a movement that has impacted the world. The Christian Fellowship Ministries (CFM), as it is now called, has birthed over twenty-two hundred churches located in one hundred and sixteen nations of the world. This story is meaningful to layman and minister alike. It is meaningful for the broader Christian community. This story tells how God can use common men and women and the common things of humanity to minister in the regions beyond.America in the 1970s was experiencing the Jesus People Movement (JPM). That movement changed America and impacted much of the western world. Principles from that movement became part of the CFM. The language of transformation was common to the Jesus people. When witnessing, they commonly cited Romans 12:1-2. The Prescott ministry picked up the importance of transformation for individuals and the church.The Great Commission also stirred Jesus people. There was urgency about wining the world to Jesus The biblical and theological foundation for evangelism, discipleship and church planting of the Christian Fellowship Ministry starts with this commission found in Matthew 28:16-20. The ministry of the CFM was not the plan of a man or group of people. It was by trial and error, a decision here and a decision there, and out of some things that seemed to work that the ministry of the CFM evolved. It was not the discovery of a new doctrine or the rediscovery of an old one. It was not the implementation of a program that transformed the CFM. It was the discovery of what God was doing and implementing that in the Prescott church. The deeper discovery was that God was restoring the dignity of the local church. The indigenous church principle and the making of disciples propelled the mission forward.This book is intended to provide an example of what God can do with people who simply try and follow God. Based on biblical and Christian principles it is intended to inspire persons to the work of God. And it is intended to inspire ministers to the possibilities of God when faced with the impossibilities of the world.This story uncovers the core elements that led a broken church out of brokenness to spiritual health and world impact. This is not a history, formula for revival, or step-by-step guide for church growth. It is an example of what God can do with a common people who seek to faithfully obey God.

The Rise of the Networking Region
Author: Are Vegard Haug
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317017439
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
How regions and cities adapt to a Network Society and a globalized environment, the policies they pursue and how structures of governance are transformed in the pursuit of those policies are major themes in this volume. These issues are addressed with specific reference to the Nordic regions of Europe. Covering the four Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden plus the Faroe Islands, this volume charts the changes in networking activities and related development initiatives that have taken place over the last ten years. This means analysing regions in their pursuit of new policies, partnerships and styles of representation. Through this process regions are becoming partners and players in European integration and a movement of integrative regionalism is taking shape which is different from inward looking identity regionalism or self-centred competitive regionalism and takes regions beyond lobbying in Brussels.

Light on Darkness?
Author: T. Jack Thompson
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 0802865240
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
In its earliest days, photography was seen as depicting its subjects with such objectivity as to be inherently free of ideological bias. Today we are rightly more skeptical -- at least most of the time. When it comes to photography from the past, we tend to set some of our skepticism aside. But should we? In Light on Darkness? T. Jack Thompson, a leading historian of African Christianity, revisits the body of photography generated by British missionaries to sub-Saharan Africa in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and demonstrates that much more is going on in these images than meets the eye. This volume offers a careful reassessment of missionary photographers, their photographs, and their African and European audiences. Several dozen fascinating photographs from the period are included.

Agents beyond the State
Author: Mark Netzloff
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192599879
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
The early modern period is often seen as a pivotal stage in the emergence of a recognizably modern form of the state. Agents beyond the State returns to this context in order to examine the literary and social practices through which the early modern state was constituted. The state was defined not through the elaboration of theoretical models of sovereignty but rather as an effect of the literary and professional lives of its extraterritorial representatives. Netzloff focuses on the textual networks and literary production of three groups of extraterritorial agents: travelers and intelligence agents, mercenaries, and diplomats. These figures reveal the extent to which the administration of the English state as well as definitions of national culture were shaped by England's military, commercial, and diplomatic relations in Europe and other regions across the globe. Netzloff emphasizes the transnational contexts of early modern state formation, from the Dutch Revolt and relations with Venice to the role of Catholic exiles and nonstate agents in diplomacy and international law. These global histories of travel, service, and labor additionally transformed definitions of domestic culture, from the social relations of classes and regions to the private sphere of households and families. Literary writing and state service were interconnected in the careers of Fynes Moryson, George Gascoigne, and Sir Henry Wotton, among others. As they entered the realm of print and addressed a reading public, they introduced the practices of governance to an emerging public sphere.
