STORED ANGER – CONTEXTUAL UNDERSTANDING, SENSITIVITY, RESPECT, PEACE
Anger Unending?
This book looks at Anger in a vast variety of world situations and in different periods of human history. It casually refers to the violence attributed to tyrants and world conquerors. It dwells for a while on the pain associated with colonial expansion, slavery, hunt for resources, and the hurtful memories and anger left behind.
It reflects on the agonies that a society goes through moving from agricultural economy to an industrial economy, and the contextual anger experienced even today. It stays for some time in the Middle East and explores the causes of anxieties there, youth bulge, unemployment, external interference, and the consequent anger in diverse places. It mulls over the insensitive side of the oil rush, arms trade, conflict sponsorship, growing political patronage of criminal elements at diverse levels.
You say, I am not guilty. When you do nothing to redeem the situation, you too are guilty. So am I. Anger need not remain unending. The book invites you to a sense of responsibility, intelligent thinking, sensitivity to pain, respect for the other, and commitment to the cause of peace. At times a single timely word can make all the difference! It can heal wounds, build bridges. There are times when you can make even the ‘unthinkable’ happen! The challenge remains!

STRATIFICATION AND SOCIAL CHANGE AMONG TRIBALS: An Anthropological Study among the Sherdukpens of Arunachal Pradesh
This book is a valuable addition to the context of understanding the tribal situation of Arunachal Pradesh; and also for a critical cognition on the nature of inequality and stratification among the Sherdukpens. Sherdukpen is one of the major tribes of Arunachal Pradesh inhabiting the western most part of the state. The people of this community have a rich cultural heritage; their dance forms, songs, arts and crafts of magnificent beauty have enriched the culture of the state. Sherdukpen society is passing through a crucial phase of transition. This study attempts to understand the historicity and nature of stratification in the Sherdukpen society. An attempt has been made to see the implications of material as well as economic life on stratification within the society and on various traditional socio-political institutions, religious systems and on social structure and value systems. The work is based on extensive fieldwork on migration narratives and their economic, social and political life.

Survey of the New Testament-Revised Edition
In Survey of the New Testament, Paul Benware approaches the New Testament in three helpful segments: the anticipation, institution, and fulfillment of the new covenant. Questions will be addressed such as ‘What is the purpose of life?’ and ‘Can I be freed from guilt and sin?’ This handy primer will help any student of the Bible understand the content, unity, and progression of the New Testament.
Survey of the Old Testament-Revised Edition
“The New Testament Scriptures will never be properly understood by a person if the Old Testament Scriptures essentially remain a mystery to him,” says Paul Benware.
Most Christians do not have a clear understanding of the pattern, unity, or progression of the Old Testament. They can tell stories of Moses, Noah, and David, but they aren’t sure how all these events fit together. And they don’t fully appreciate the doctrines found in the thirty-nine books between Genesis and Malachi. But the Old Testament does not have to be mysterious or confusing.
Newly revised, Dr. Benware offers a chronological approach to give you a bird’s-eye view of the Old Testament, while his book-by-book analysis reveals important details and emphases. If you want a better understanding of the whole Bible, Survey of the Old Testament is the place to start.
