Brunner Sees St Paul's Epistle to the Romans as 'the Chapter of Destiny of the Christian Church'. Here, in Luther's Words, Is the 'purest Gospel' Upon Which the Very Existence of the Christian Faith Depends and From Which It Draws Its Life. Concentrated, Decisive and Instructive, Nothing Within the New Testament Is More Closely Argued Both Theological and Personal. Out of His Years of Scholarly Wisdom Brunner Meditates On the Great Question: What Is Wrong with the Churches? Brunner Finds an Answer in the Contrast Between the Virile Spirit-filled Fellowship of the New Testament and the Institutions Which Are Now Called 'churches'. He Writes in His Preface: 'the Title of the Book, the Misunderstanding of the Church, Is Equivocal. Is It a Question of a Misunderstanding of Which the Church Is Guilty, or of a Misunderstanding of Which It Is the Victim? or Is It That the Church Itself, as Such, Is Perhaps the Product of a Misunderstanding? the Author Is Not Responsible for This Ambiguity; It Is Intrinsic in the Theme Itself.'table of Contentscontents: Preface 1 the Supernatural Christian Community and the Problem of the Church 2 the Historical Origin of the "ecclesia" 3 the Apostles and the Fellowship 4 the Christian Fellowship and Tradition 5 the Christian Fellowship and the Holy Spirit 6 the Christian Community in Its Messianic Eschatological Character 7 Divine Service, the Life of the "ecclesia" 8 the Starting Point of Ecclesiastical Development 9 the Christian Fellowship and the Rise of the Church 10 the Christ-community and the Churches of History 11 the Task Before the Crurches - to Serve the Growth of the "ecclesia" 12 the Summing-up; Outlook for the Future Notes

Former Congressman and Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations Mark D. Siljander takes us on an eye-opening journey of personal, religious, and political discovery. In the 1980s, Siljander was a newly minted Reagan Republican from Michigan who joined Congress in the same generation as Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay, ready to remake the world. A staunch member of the Religious Right, he once walked out of the National Prayer Breakfast when a speaker quoted from the Qur'an.But after losing reelection, Siljander dove into the Bible to look for the passage in which the Bible says it is our job as Christians to convert others in order to save them from eternal damnation. He couldn't find it; in fact, he couldn't even find a passage saying that Jesus set out to form a new religion. This discovery was the first step on a spiritual and political journey that started with an in-depth linguistic study of the Bible and led to the discovery that Christianity and Islam share many base words and concepts. In his role as ambassador to the United Nations Siljander began sharing his insights on the connections between Islam and Christianity, with surprising results.A Deadly Misunderstanding recounts Siljander's amazing discoveries as he travels to some of the most remote and hostile places in the world—deep into Libya, Sudan, Pakistan, and India—forging deep ties with both heads of state and religious leaders. What he has learned could radically shift the contemporary religious landscape and help heal the rift between Islam and the West. No Christian or Muslim will be unaffected after reading this book.

Misunderstanding Terrorism provides a striking reassessment of the scope and nature of the global neo-jihadi threat to the West. The post-9/11 decade experienced the emergence of new forms of political violence and new terrorist actors. More recently, Marc Sageman's understanding of how and why people have adopted fundamentalist ideologies and terrorist methods has evolved.Author of the classic Understanding Terror Networks, Sageman has become only more critical of the U.S. government's approach to the problem. He argues that U.S. society has been transformed for the worse by an extreme overreaction to a limited threat—limited, he insists, despite spectacular recent incidents, which he takes fully into account. Indeed, his discussion of just how limited the threat is marks a major contribution to the discussion and debate over the best way to a measured and much more effective response.

Do others understand what we say or write? Do we understand them? Theorists of language and interpretation claim to be more concerned with questions about "what" we understand and "how" we understand, rather than with the logically prior question "whether" we understand each other. An affirmative answer to the latter question is apparently taken for granted. However, in Mutual Misunderstanding, Talbot J. Taylor shows that the sceptical doubts about communicational understanding do in fact have a profoundly important, if as yet unacknowledged, function in the construction of theories of language and interpretation.Mutual Misundertanding thus presents a strikingly original analysis of the rhetorical patterns underlying Western linguistic thought, as exemplified in the works of John Locke, Jacques Derrida, Gottlob Frege, Jonathan Culler, Noam Chomsky, Ferdinand de Saussure, H. Paul Grice, Michael Dummet, Stanley Fish, Alfred Schutz, Barbara Herrnstein Smith, Harold Garfinkel, and others.This analysis reveals how, by the combined effect of appeals to "commonsense" and anxieties about implications of relativism, scepticism has a determining role in the discursive development of a number of the intellectual disciplines making up the "human sciences" today, including critical theory, literary hermeneutics, philosophy of language and logic, communication theory, discourse and conversation analysis, pragmatics, stylistics, and linguistics. Consequently, this provocative study will be of value to readers from a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds.

The central aim of the Gospel of Mark is to introduce the reader to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In this book, MacDonald examines not just what the Gospel writer says, but also how he says it. When the Gospel of Mark is examined as a complete work, and the motifs of allegiance, opposition, and misunderstand are traced through the narrative, Mark is seen to be a rather sophisticated literary work. The Gospel writer is not simply a compiler of tradition, but one who shaped his narrative for specific rhetorical aims, namely, that his audience--both ancient and modern--would recognize Jesus as the Son of God and respond to him with allegiance.
