Book Synopsis Mission & Science by : Carine Dujardin
Download or read book Mission & Science written by Carine Dujardin and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-26 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science as an instrument to justify religious missions in secular society The relationship between religion and science is complex and continues to be a topical issue. However, it is seldom zoomed in on from both Protestant andCatholic perspectives. By doing so the contributing authors in this collection gain new insights into the origin and development of missiology. Missiology is described in this book as a “project of modernity,” a contemporary form of apologetics. “Scientific apologetics” was the way to justify missions in a society that was rapidly becoming secularized. Mission & Sciencedeals with the interaction between new scientific disciplines (historiography, geography, ethnology, anthropology, linguistics) and new scientific insights (Darwin’s evolutionary theory, heliocentrism), as well as the role of the papacy and what inspired missionary practice (first in China and the Far East and later in Africa). The renewed missiology has in turn influenced the missionary practice of the twentieth century, guided by apostolic policy. Some “missionary scholars” have even had a significant influence on the scientific discourse of their time.

Book Synopsis Shadow Warriors / Les Guerriers de l'Ombre by : Bernd Horn
Download or read book Shadow Warriors / Les Guerriers de l'Ombre written by Bernd Horn and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2016-09-03 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unprecedented introduction to the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command. On February 1, 2016, the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM) celebrated its tenth anniversary. This benchmark passed largely unheralded. After all, few Canadians actually realize their nation possesses special operations forces, and fewer yet know Canada’s long and distinguished history with these forces and the exceptional warriors who fill their ranks. CANSOFCOM carries on this tradition and in its short history has earned a reputation for courage, professionalism, and operational excellence. This book is a rare glimpse into the shadows, providing detailed information on CANSOFCOM and its units, as well as a pictorial history of the Command’s evolution. Le 1er février 2016, le Commandement des Forces d’opérations spéciales du Canada (COMFOSCAN) a célébré son dixième anniversaire. Ce jalon est passé largement inaperçu. Après tout, peu de Canadiens savent que leur pays possède des forces d’opérations spéciales et encore moins de personnes savent que le Canada a une longue tradition prestigieuse avec ces forces et les guerriers exceptionnels qui les composent. Le COMFOSCAN poursuit cette tradition et, depuis sa création, ses membres ont été reconnus pour leur courage, leur professionnalisme et leur excellence opérationnelle. Ce livre offre un rare aperçu de ces guerriers de l’ombre. Il offre des informations détaillées sur le COMFOSCAN et ses unités, en plus de présenter l’histoire illustrée de l’évolution du commandement.

Book Synopsis Colon Cleansing and Its Benefits for Health and Skin: A Testimonial by : Laure Goldbright
Download or read book Colon Cleansing and Its Benefits for Health and Skin: A Testimonial written by Laure Goldbright and published by BUENOS BOOKS AMERICA LLC. This book was released on with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In my forties I began suffering from very annoying bloating that disturbed my sleep. This trouble, which no allopathic or alternative medicine could help me solve, only got worse over time. My health deteriorated quickly and my face became covered with ugly brown age spots. Fortunately, five years after the outbreak of all these troubles, I finally learned about colon cleansing practices. Thanks to these practices, which have existed since the dawn of time but are increasingly ignored in the medical community, I was able to regain a flat stomach, a slim waist, peacefulness, good sleep, beautiful skin free of ugly brown spots, and the vitality and zest for life I had lost. I have been successfully practicing intestinal hygiene and colon cleansing for more than ten years. With this testimony you will know what intestinal hygiene is, how to practice it, and all the benefits you can expect from it for your digestion, the conditions of your skin and eyes, your weight, your pains, your premenstrual tensions, your mood and sleep disorders, and many other mild and serious health symptoms that inevitably result from the gradual cluttering of the colon.
Book Synopsis The Evangelization of the World: by : Jacques A. Blocher
Download or read book The Evangelization of the World: written by Jacques A. Blocher and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 773 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in an engaging style and intended largely for a lay audience, The Evangelization of the World tells the remarkable story of how Christianity grew from an insignificant Jewish sect in the first century until, by the beginning of the twenty-first century, it had become the world’s first truly global religion. The book is careful to explain historical context and mission theory, but the foci of the narrative are the great personalities of mission—the Apostle Paul, St. Martin of Tours, St. Patrick, St. Francis Xavier, John Eliot, Count Von Zinzendorf, William Carey, Robert Morrison, David Livingstone, Mary Slessor, Albert Schweitzer, and many others—who make this account of the expansion of the church a fascinating and often dramatic tale. In addition, the book does not neglect the great mission conferences of the twentieth century, nor does it avoid the controversial aspects of mission that, in many instances, continue to vex the movement today.

Download or read book France written by Jean-Louis Cohen and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone knows Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and the chateaux of the Loire Valley, but French architects have also produced some of the most iconic buildings of the twentieth century, playing a central role in the emergence and development of modernism. In France, Jean-Louis Cohen presents a complete narrative of the unfolding architectural modernity in the country, grappling not only with the buildings but also with the political and critical context surrounding them. Cohen examines the developments in urban design and architecture within France, depicting the continuities and breaks in French architecture since 1900 against a broader international background. Describing the systems of architectural exchange with other countries—including Italy, Germany, Russia, and the United States—he offers a new view on the ideas, projects, and buildings otherwise so often considered only from narrow nationalistic perspectives. Cohen also maps the problematic search for a national identity against the background of European rivalries and France’s colonial past. Drawing on a wealth of recent research, this authoritatively written book will challenge the way design professionals and historians view modern French architecture.

Book Synopsis Menopause Free of Suffering: A Testimonial by : Laure Goldbright
Download or read book Menopause Free of Suffering: A Testimonial written by Laure Goldbright and published by BUENOS BOOKS AMERICA LLC. This book was released on with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The women in my family have always had a lot of symptoms before, during, and after menopause. I didn't want to suffer like them and I decided to react. I questioned our Western beliefs about menopause and did some research to find out how I could avoid the usual menopause ailments. I was determined to have a happy menopause, without hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, nervousness, depression, cellulite buildup, age spots on the face, and accelerated aging. And I achieved it! I realized that almost all the symptoms culturally attributed to menopause are actually due to other causes, which can be eliminated. In this book, I will explain how I performed my investigation; then I will share some important information so that you, too, can avoid the hardships our culture usually condemns women to with the outbreak of menopause. Even if you are already suffering from some so-called "menopausal symptoms," it's not too late to take action to live a happy and healthy menopause. This little book is easy to read, free of medical jargon, and considers the spiritual dimension of women.
Book Synopsis Ce que dit le tonnerre by : John Conrad
Download or read book Ce que dit le tonnerre written by John Conrad and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2009-05-18 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si l’on se fie à tous les principes de la guerre et à la logique militaire, le soutien logistique de la force opérationnelle Orion du Canada aurait dû s’écrouler en juillet 2006. Peu de pays posent un défi logistique aussi important que l’Afghanistan, et pourtant les soldats canadiens l’ont relevé avec brio, en 2006, dans ce dangereux théâtre international. Cette réussite représente un accomplissement militaire monumental. Les opérations de combat du Canada couvraient le sud de l’Afghanistan en 2006, et c’est avec un mélange d’inquiétude et de flegme que les soldats de la logistique canadiens s’acharnaient à faire progresser le groupement tactique. Ce n’est qu’aujourd’hui que l’on s’aperçoit à quel point les opérations de logistique de la force opérationnelle Orion à Kandahar constituaient une tâche ardue, presque irréalisable. L’auteur de ce livre présente du point de vue de la logistique et de façon sincère, parfois même crue, des incidents et des souvenirs de la guerre que le Canada a livrée. Il offre aussi au lecteur une vision éclairée de l’histoire de la logistique militaire au Canada et se penche, en tant que commandant de bataillon, sur l’érosion spectaculaire de ce qui était autrefois une des pierres angulaires de l’Armée de terre.
Download or read book The French Secret Services written by and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French secret services have a long history dating back to the "ancien regime. "With the founding of the Third Republic (1870-1940) the famous Second Bureau was created as France's principal intelligence-gathering organization. After the Germans invaded France in 1940, however, the services splintered and diversified, with Vichy agencies and Collaborationists, the Free French and the internal resistance all in contention. More recently, since 1944 the activities of the reorganized French secret services have extended across a surprisingly wide area, sometimes with spectacular results as in the 'Greenpeace Affair' in New Zealand in 1985. This volume deals with the French secret services according to a chronological framework which reflects the evolution of the services which were created and transformed by both internal and external historical factors. The bibliography commences with an examination of the origins and development of the French Intelligence Service from the "ancien regime "to 1870. It then considers the history and activities of the secret services during the following periods: the Third Republic; the Second World War; the Fourth Republic; and the Fifth Republic, firstly between 1958 and 1981 and then during the 1980s and 1990s, including the 'Greenpeace Affair'. This is an essential reference tool for all those interested in the history of intelligence agencies and national security in general and in the development of the French secret services in particular.
Book Synopsis Slave Owners of West Africa by : Sandra E. Greene
Download or read book Slave Owners of West Africa written by Sandra E. Greene and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book, Sandra E. Greene explores the lives of three prominent West African slave owners during the age of abolition. These first-published biographies reveal personal and political accomplishments and concerns, economic interests, religious beliefs, and responses to colonial rule in an attempt to understand why the subjects reacted to the demise of slavery as they did. Greene emphasizes the notion that the decisions made by these individuals were deeply influenced by their personalities, desires to protect their economic and social status, and their insecurities and sympathies for wives, friends, and other associates. Knowing why these individuals and so many others in West Africa made the decisions they did, Greene contends, is critical to understanding how and why the institution of indigenous slavery continues to influence social relations in West Africa to this day.
Book Synopsis Au risque de la conversion by : Catherine Foisy
Download or read book Au risque de la conversion written by Catherine Foisy and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ambitious and pioneering work, Catherine Foisy puts the experiences of Quebec missionaries into perspective, describing the ways in which they interweave with the socio-ecclesiastical transformations peculiar to Quebec and with those of Catholicism in mission countries. This tapestry, extending to the four corners of the world, gives the reader a view of missionary work as a site of intercultural encounter and conversion, as revealed through the voices of its actors. These accounts offer an opportunity to gauge the extent to which twentieth-century missionary work provided fertile ground for the emergence, deployment, and transfer of socio-ecclesiastical innovations that would prove decisive for the future of global Christianity. On the strength of its multidisciplinary approach and transnational analysis, this book documents various aspects of the Quebec missionary experience as it successively prospered, reached a zenith, and went into decline. By revisiting Lionel Groulx’s 1962 work on the Quebec missionary experience from the standpoint of those who actually took part in it, this book gives readers a new vantage on a whole area of Quebec history even as it sheds light on a rich religious heritage, both tangible and intangible. Finally, this book is an opportunity for readers to reacquaint themselves with certain characteristics of societies within larger societies that enable them to foster the emergence of intercultural encounters and dialogue in a globalized context.
Book Synopsis Conversion to Modernities by : Peter van der Veer
Download or read book Conversion to Modernities written by Peter van der Veer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter van der Veer has gathered together a groundbreaking collection of essays that suggests that conversion to forms of Christianity in the modern period is not only a conversion to modern forms of these religions, but also to religious forms of modernity. Religious perceptions of the self, of community, and of the state are transformed when Western discourses of modernity become dominant in the modern world. This volume seeks to relate Europe and its Others by exploring conversion both in modern Europe and in the colonized world.
