The Unifying Word
Author: John K. Wortinger
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1504961110
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Synopsis of the The Unifying Word The Word of God brings unity and empowerment to people who were created in the image of God. The Word of God is within itself unified. The Word of God, The Bible, is one book, and it speaks with one voice. All scripture is held together by Jesus Christ who is himself The Unifying Word. The Unifying Word identifies 26 parallel passages between the Old and New Testaments which add context and depth to the central themes of scripture such as: Creation, the Passover, the Call of Abraham, the Incarnation, the Cross of Christ, and Pentecost. Rev. Wortingers methodology suggests a contemporary context for each study that will engage the reader and lead directly to the point where each parallel links. Together the parallels give a greater depth of understanding into the scripture. The parallels give evidence that God has a purpose and a plan as He intervenes in human history. This approach to Holy Scripture was used extensively by the Apostle Paul and all of the Gospel writers. The Unifying Word has been written as a study of 26 of these parallels, but the book also points to a number of additional parallels that could be explored using the methodology outlined in the book. This book is an important resource for the serious student of the Bible. The book has been designed not only for individual study, but also a guided group study with a group study guide included with each chapter. The book has been field tested with several adult bible study groups.

Reinsurance and the Law of Aggregation
Author: Oliver D. William
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000329100
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
In excess of loss reinsurance, the reinsurer covers the amount of a loss exceeding the policy’s deductible but not piercing its cover limit. Accordingly, a policy’s quantitative scope of cover is significantly affected by the parties’ agreement of a deductible and a cover limit. Yet, the examination of whether a loss has exceeded deductible or cover limit necessitates an educated understanding of what constitutes one loss. In so-called aggregation clauses, the parties to (re-)insurance contracts regularly provide that multiple individual losses are to be added together for presenting one loss to the reinsurer when they arise from the same event, occurrence, catastrophe, cause or accident. Aggregation mechanisms are one of the core instruments for structuring reinsurance contracts. This book systematically examines each element of an aggregation mechanism, tracing the inconsistent usage of aggregation language in the markets and scrutinizing the tests developed by courts and arbitral tribunals. In doing so, it seeks to support insurers, reinsurers, brokers and lawyers in drafting aggregation clauses and in settling claims. Focusing on an analysis of primary sources, particularly judicial decisions, the book interprets each judicial decision to describe a system of inter-related rules, collating, organising and describing the English law of aggregation as applied by the courts and arbitral tribunals. It further draws a comparison between the English position and the corresponding rules in the Principles of Reinsurance Contract Law (PRICL).

Singleness
Author: Michal Glowala
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110463881
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
The book is a systematic study of the issue of self-individuation in the scholastic debate on principles of individuation (principia individuationis). The point of departure is a general formulation of the problem of individuation acceptable for all the participants of the scholastic debate: a principle of individuation of x is what makes x individual (in various possible senses of ‘making something individual’). The book argues against a prima facie plausible view that everything that is individual is individual by itself and not by anything distinct from it (Strong Self-Individuation Thesis). The keynote topic of the book is a detailed analysis of the two competing ways of rejecting the Strong Self-Individuation Thesis: the Scotistic and the Thomistic one. The book defends the latter one, discussing a number of issues concerning substantial and accidental forms, essences, properties, instantiation, the Thomistic notion of materia signata, Frege’s Begriff-Gegenstand distinction, and Geach’s form-function analogy developed in his writings on Aquinas. In the context of both the scholastic and contemporary metaphysics, the book offers a framework for dealing with issues of individuality and defends a Thomistic theory of individuation.
