About the author Born in Sydney, Australia, in 1935, Thomas Keneally was educated at various schools on the New South Wales north coast. Although he initially studied for the Catholic priesthood, he abandoned that idea in 1960, turning to teaching and clerical work before writing and publishing his first novel, The Place at Whitton, in 1964. Since that time Keneally has been a full-time writer, aside from the occasional stint as a lecturer or writer-in-residence. Considered one of the most successful modern Australian writers of all time, Keneally wrote more than a dozen novels before publishing the story that became his most controversial, but best-known and most influential, to date. Published in 1982, Schindler's Ark, the story of a man, Oskar Schindler, who risked his life to protect beleaguered Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland was considered by some to be a work of journalistic reporting. Eleven years later, Stephen Spielberg adapted Keneally's book into the hugely successful, yet visibly disturbing, film, Schindler's List. Other books written by Keneally include Gossip from the Forest, A Dutiful Daughter, A River Town, and By the Line. Keneally has also written a children's book and a screenplay. In 1983, Thomas Keneally was awarded the order of Australia for his services to Australian Literature. He has won international acclaim for his novels, including Schindler's List, the basis for the Steven Spielberg film and winner of the Booker Prize, and The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith. About book: Even at that first sight they didn't look like an ordinary tribe. The Israelites are in the wilderness on their long march from Egyptian slavery - 2,000 tribesmen making their painful way across the desert, in flight from the Pharaoh's army. Assailed by thirst, dissension and constant doubt, they go on because they have to, led by Moses and inspired by Yahweh, the God Who Is. Many mono illustrations, photographs and a few photographs in colour.

In this booklet, John G. Reisinger explores four aspects of the Lordship of Christ over the church. The nature, the extent, and the exercise of his Lordship and modern examples that deny Christ's Lordship. He postulates that one of the most serious theological implications for those who hold to reformed theology is their failure to recognize Christ as the New Lawgiver. This booklet goes a long way in explaining and contrasting the differences between (Old) Covenant Theology and New Covenant Theology.

Designed for students and teachers of Ancient History or Classical Civilisation at school and in early university years, this series provides a valuable collection of guides to the history, art, literature, values and social institutions of the ancient world. "Early Greek Lawgivers" examines the men who brought laws to the early Greek city states, as an introduction both to the development of law and to the basic issues in early legal practice. The lawgiver was a man of special status, who could resolve disputes without violence, and who brought a sense of order to his community. Figures such as Minos of Crete, Lycurgus of Sparta and Solon of Athens resolved the chaos of civil strife by bringing comprehensive norms of ethical conduct to their fellows, and establishing those norms in the form of oral or written laws. Arbitration, justice, procedural versus substantive law, ethical versus legal norms, and the special character of written laws, form the background to the examination of the lawgivers themselves. Crete, under king Minos, became an example of the ideal community for later Greeks, such as Plato.The unwritten laws of Lycurgus established the foundations of the Spartan state, in contrast with the written laws of Solon in Athens. Other lawgivers illustrate particular issues in early law; for instance, Zaleucus on the divine source of laws; Philolaus on family law; Phaleas on communism of property; and Hippodamus on civic planning. This is an ideal first introduction to the establishment of law in ancient Greece. It is written for late school and early university students.

This book has a two-fold purpose. First, it responds to a series of challenges to New Covenant Theology that Dr. Richard Barcellos offered in his book titled In Defense of the Decalogue. The challenges were made to anyone holding to New Covenant Theology in general and to John Reisinger personally. Dr. Barcellos' book is written in an irenic spirit and will prove to be very helpful in the present discussion in Reformed circles on the relationship of the Old and New Covenants. I sincerely hope this response is just as irenic and helpful. The second purpose is to set forth what New Covenant Theology believes in the eight areas where Barcellos states his objections. He defends the view that the Ten Commandments are the highest expression of the Law of God ever given. We believe the New Covenant revelation given by Christ and His apostles is a higher and more demanding law than anything given through Moses. Simply stated, this book asserts that Jesus is a new and higher lawgiver who replaces Moses in exactly the same way he replaces Aaron as high priest. Barcellos insists that Christ is the greatest exegete of the Law given to Moses but in no sense gives any higher or more demanding law than Moses. We believe Christ is not only a Lawgiver but he is the full and final Lawgiver who supersedes and replaces all others.

A Guide to the Viziers of Creation Gifted with power by the Five Maidens, the Sidereal Exalted were once the trusted advisors to the Old Realm’s Solar masters. However, believing the Curse-maddened Lawgivers’ irredeemable and unshakably convinced in their moral duty, the Chosen of the Maidens persuaded the Dragon-Blooded to rise up and slaughter their masters in order to end the Solars’ depredations. Since that time, the Sidereals have influenced events behind the scenes in order to safeguard Creation from its myriad of enemies. But with the return of the Solars, the advent of the deathknights, the Dragon-Blooded Realm nearing civil war, the tribes of the Lunars threatening war and the Fair Folk massing for another assault on the shaped world, will the Fivefold Fellowship win the day or will its many sacrifices have been for naught?

Enoch, the Ethiopian, Patriarch and Prophet, Greater than Abraham, Holier than Moses, is the first perfect human being in the bible and the first immortal man according to Moses the lawgiver. (Gen.5:18,22,24) And yet he has been kept a secret until the printing of this revealing book

Deuteronomy 1–11 is here presented in a groundbreaking new translation, with a comprehensive introduction and thorough commentary by world-renowned Israeli biblical scholar Moshe Weinfeld. The “second law,” Deuteronomy portrays Moses as the founder and great lawgiver of Israel. In a series of addresses, Moses reviews his life and the life of God’s people. He reminds them of the guiding hand of God, which has brought them thus far along the way, and will bring their Exodus and Wanderings to a triumphal conclusion in the Holy Land. Through a beautiful translation and insightful comments in this first of two volumes on Deuteronomy, Weinfeld reinvigorates the basic laws of society with their life-giving power: the Shema (“Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One”) and the Great Commandment (“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might”). These laws govern Israelite religious and communal life under God’s guidance.

Moses is renowned as a great lawgiver, prophet, friend of God, and deliverer of his people. The events of his life, spanning four books of the Bible, resound throughout Scripture. In this epic undertaking, James M. Boice delves into the narrative to uncover its rich meaning and gospel application to our lives today. We can learn a lot from Moses about faithfulness, prayerfulness, meekness, and good leadership—we can even learn from his sins and failure! But Boice shows how we can also look beyond Moses and the Israelites to the awesome power of God and the promise of a much needed, much greater Deliverer.

The Bible is replete with the accounts of discouraged saints--and they include many of great, renown in the most responsible places: Moses, the great lawgiver, David, the greatest king to ever ascend to the throne of Israel, Elijah, the great prophet of revival, Jonah, the preacher of repentance, and even John the Baptist, the last of the prophets about whom Jesus said, "Among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist." (Matthew 11:11) The fact is--no Christian is exempt from discouragement. We are all susceptible to it. Regardless of how common discouragement is in the church today, we should not yield to it, for it breeds defeat--spiritual and otherwise. The progress of the gospel is greatly hindered in the life of an individual, as well as a church, during a time of discouragement. The objective of these WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT is to reveal the reality of it and the remedy for it. These messages are not merely emotional pep talks to produce temporary hype--they are timely biblical truth that deal with a problem that is peculiar to all God's people. May these words be blessed of God to encourage your faith and enlarge your vision of the work God wants to do in and through you. Sam Wolfe, Evangel Productions (From inside flap of dustjacket)

As much a portrait of his time as a biography of the man, Karl Marx: Greatness and Illusion returns the author of Das Kapital to his nineteenth-century world, before twentieth-century inventions transformed him into Communism’s patriarch and fierce lawgiver. Gareth Stedman Jones depicts an era dominated by extraordinary challenges and new notions about God, human capacities, empires, and political systems―and, above all, the shape of the future.In the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo, a Europe-wide argument began about the industrial transformation of England, the Revolution in France, and the hopes and fears generated by these occurrences. Would the coming age belong to those enthralled by the revolutionary events and ideas that had brought this world into being, or would its inheritors be those who feared and loathed it? Stedman Jones gives weight not only to Marx’s views but to the views of those with whom he contended. He shows that Marx was as buffeted as anyone else living through a period that both confirmed and confounded his interpretations―and that ultimately left him with terrible intimations of failure.Karl Marx allows the reader to understand Marx’s milieu and development, and makes sense of the devastating impact of new ways of seeing the world conjured up by Kant, Hegel, Feuerbach, Ricardo, Saint-Simon, and others. We come to understand how Marx transformed and adapted their philosophies into ideas that would have―through twists and turns inconceivable to him―an overwhelming impact across the globe in the twentieth century.

'The critic, in his conception, was not the narrow lawgiver or the rigid censor that he is often assumed to be; he was the student, the inquirer, the interpreter, the taker of notes, the active, restless commentator...' James's words on Sainte-Beuve could very easily be applied to himself. The pleasures of his own criticism - wit and urbanity, metaphorical artistry, his way of stalking and teasing out his subject - always lift his essays from the merely instructive to the delightful.

The church has emphasized ideas about God that have marginalized Jesus' understanding of his spiritual Father, his Abba. We commonly think of God as a demanding lawgiver and judge, an omnipotent ruler, or an ultimate philosophical principle. None of these works well today.In contrast, Jesus' view of God as spiritual Abba still truly works when it is given a chance. Christians should be open to accepting the ideas of the one they call Lord and Savior. In Jesus' Abba, one of the greatest theologians of this generation boldly argues for a new view of God, through the eyes of Jesus.John B. Cobb Jr. interprets the whole of Jesus' life and ministry, and death and resurrection, in light of Jesus' understanding of God. He also shows that Paul shared this understanding and that it played a central role in Paul's churches. Ultimately, Cobb argues that Jesus' view of God fits our actual experience today, that it is supported by the evidence of the sciences, and that it encourages appreciative learning from other wisdom traditions and cooperation with them in redeeming the world.With this book, John B. Cobb Jr. makes his ultimate and most impassioned plea for us to rediscover God through Jesus.
