His review of On Guard on which this post is based appears in the Volume 34, No. He is also an associate editor for the Apologetics Study Bible for Students (Holman, 2010). I wonder, is there an effective approach that could best be utilized to illustrate how their lives are truly based on insignificance?Įric Johnson is a researcher with Mormonism Research Ministry and coauthor of Mormonism 101(Baker, 2000). In many ways, they think my life is a model for dullness and despair. Yet many atheists I’ve encountered think they aren’t missing anything in life. But this is, of course, entirely inconsistent-for without God, man and the universe are without any real significance.” I agree with the statement. I found this quote on page 41 to be very interesting: “If God does not exist, then life is objectively meaningless but man cannot live consistently and happily knowing that life is meaningless so in order to be happy he pretends life has meaning. William Lane Craig, with the subtitle of “Defending your Faith with Reason and Precision.” He attempts to show the skeptics/atheists that their position needs to be supported with evidence and not mere rhetoric. It’s also the title of a book written by Dr.

His speech famously begins with the words: ‘Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.’ In that speech, delivered at the Soldiers’ National Cemetery (now known as Gettysburg National Cemetery) in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in November 1863, Lincoln had urged his listeners to continue in the fight for freedom, envisioning the day when all Americans – including Black slaves – would be free. The opening words to his speech, ‘Five score years ago’, allude to a specific speech Lincoln himself had made a century before: the Gettysburg Address. In his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, King was doing more than alluding to Abraham Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation one hundred years earlier. No sooner has the dream gathered momentum than it becomes a more concrete ‘hope’. What’s more, in moving from ‘dream’ to a different noun, ‘hope’, King suggests that what might be dismissed as an idealistic ambition is actually something that is both possible and achievable. The shift is natural and yet it is a rhetorical masterstroke, since the vision of a better nation which King has set out as a very personal, sincere dream is thus telescoped into a universal and collective struggle for freedom. Nevertheless, in working from ‘I have a dream’ to a different four-word phrase, ‘this is our hope’. The Boston auction house was a distinguished and trustworthy firm, but provenance is sometimes murky and Josephine says the book is rightfully hers. The book is a true classic, telling of Burton’s journey disguised as a Muslim to the forbidden holy cities of Mecca and Medina. The quest begins when an old woman, Josephine Gallant, learns that Janeway has recently bought at auction a signed first edition by the legendary nineteenth century explorer Richard Francis Burton. First, it was ‘Booked to Die, ‘ then ‘The Bookman’s Wake.’ Now John Dunning fans, old and new, will rejoice in ‘ The Bookman’s Promise, ‘ a richly nuanced new Janeway novel that juxtaposes past and present as Denver ex cop and bookman Cliff Janeway searches for a book and a killer. Cliff Janeway is back! ‘ The Bookman’s Promise‘ marks the eagerly awaited return of Denver bookman author John Dunning and the award winning crime novel series that helped to turn the nation on to first edition book collecting. To explore the meaning of geographical mobility in the lives of these young people, I sketched a series of self-identity types connected to mobility experiences: the Fated, whose biographical premises are all pushing-pulling toward the status of international student the Academic, who is fascinated by the idea of becoming a worldly intellectual and sees the PhD as a natural step the Globetrotter, whose mobility is an end in itself: the goal is the next city-country the Explorer, who is abroad looking for new cultural challenges, with a genuine desire to discover and understand specific places and people the Runaway, who feels like a stranger at home and is escaping abroad for political or existential reasons. The narratives were prompted by in-depth interviews following a template divided into the three phases of travel conceived as a rite of passage: departure–preliminal, transition–liminal, arrival–postliminal. I employ a narrative approach and the focus of the research revolves around the autoethnographies of 25 international students in Helsinki and 25 in Florence.

The contribution of this article is to argue that there are considerable contrasts among students’ age groups from first to third concerning various categories of campus remodelling. Within the institutional remodelling the second and third age group students manifested positive outcomes while the first age group students exhibited negative outcomes. As for the psychological remodelling, the first and third age group of students had positive test results while the second met negative outcomes. Regarding the social remodelling, the first and third age group of students underwent positive net results while the second came across negative outcomes. As results, we observed that during the academic remodelling, the second and third age group of students experienced positive outcomes while the first faced negative results. We also used The Multivariate Analysis of Variance (Manova) test run with SPSS version 21 to contrast the student’s campus remodelling of UAIC by age group status of first (n = 837), second (n = 229), and third (n = 73) age group. As a method, we selected a multistage random sampling with n = 1140 students. This article tackles the evidence-based relationship between categories of campus remodelling across first to third age group of undergraduate students following a three-year study at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iaşi (UAIC) in Romania. This book was published in 2018, but it’s as if Ling Ma is a time traveler who came to warn us:Īfter the End came the Beginning. Before that, though, we also see her and others deliberate about whether masks are effective, including the N95 variety, whether working from home will affect productivity, whether it’s safer to leave New York and whether having people over to one’s apartment for social gatherings could spread the disease. She clings to her humdrum workaday commute despite the outbreak and past the point where the world falls completely apart. As an adult, she works at a book-publishing house that produces copies of the Bible. As a toddler, her parents emigrate from China to Utah, leaving her with relatives until they can afford to bring her over, too. We see flashbacks of Candace’s pre-pandemic life during the journey. They are on their way to Illinois, where a place called the ‘Facility’ promises refuge from the apocalypse. We meet Candace after she has fled New York City and hooked up with a handful of other survivors. It turns people into a kind of zombie the ‘fevered,’ as they are called, are doomed to a mindless existence performing rote tasks as they waste away and die. ‘Shen Fever’ originated in Shenzhen, China, and it is transmitted via fungal spores. Candace Chen is one of the last survivors of a plague that’s like Covid-19 on steroids. But before the development of the discipline of archaeology, people used what scraps there were, gleaned from Biblical and classical texts, to create a largely mythological origin for the British. The story told by the archaeological evidence, in later periods augmented by historical texts, satisfies our need to know who we are and where we come from. Underlying this narrative throughout is the story of the sea, which allowed the islanders and their continental neighbours to be in constant contact. Using the most up to date archaeological evidence together with new work on DNA and other scientific techniques which help us to trace the origins and movements of these early settlers, Barry Cunliffe offers a rich narrative account of the first islanders - who they were, where they came from, and how they interacted one with another. From that time onwards Britain and Ireland have been continuously inhabited and the resident population has increased from a few hundreds to more than 60 million.īritain Begins is nothing less than the story of the origins of the British and the Irish peoples, from around 10,000BC to the eve of the Norman Conquest. The last Ice Age, which came to an end about 12,000 years ago, swept the bands of hunter gatherers from the face of the land that was to become Britain and Ireland, but as the ice sheets retreated and the climate improved so human groups spread slowly northwards, re-colonizing the land that had been laid waste. Never see anyone talking about this one which leads me to think very few people have read it. Amazon | Goodreads 2: YOUNG WIDOWS CLUB, ALEXNDRA COUTTS The hues of this design aren’t in blue, but this historical novel lives in my reader memory as a great read. Let’s have a look at the colors of blue we find on my shelf. From contemporary to historical, there’s a collection of different styles, and of course, most of these (or all?) do have romance, which is always a favorite of mine. There’s a wide array of genres and topics in this list. LIST | 8 TV SITCOMS TO WATCH IF YOU LOVE NETFLIX’S ‘COUNTRY COMFORT’ Today I’m looking at the books with oceans on their covers, all of which are from my shelf. This one isn’t anything special, except sometimes my expectation is that it will allow us to feature books normally missed. Another new week means time for another book list. The BPD has a long-held reputation as a racially intolerant public institution. The result was a tense face-off between some mostly peaceful counter-demonstrators and Boston Police Department officers in full riot gear on Boylston Street, where sporadic scuffles broke out. Set against the backdrop of racial tensions in Boston between law enforcement and people of color, some of the counterprotesters wondered whose side the police were on. The numbers were overwhelmingly in favor of the antiracist demonstrations, but as the day progressed, counterprotesters still had reason to question if their city - and, in particular, its institutions - was behind them or the right-wing demonstrators.Īs the far-right rally came to a close, however, the attendees needed to exit the city’s downtown area, which was swamped with antiracist demonstrators. A “free speech” rally in the city - which was tied to the “alt-right,” a conservative faction that espouses far-right ideologies grounded in white supremacy - turned out what police estimated to be between 50 and 75 people. Lloyd was among the estimated 40,000 counterprotesters who showed up. Lloyd, a Boston resident, expressed her frustration with the police after officers clashed with antiracist demonstrators over the weekend. “It’s unbelievable that this many police officers came here to protect them,” Ashley Lloyd said. |
