The Message of Revelation: With Study Guide: I Saw Heaven Opened (The Bible Speaks Today)
What is the book of Revelation? Does it describe in veiled language events of its writer’s own day, or is it largely a prophecy of events still to come? Is it a chart of the whole of history from Christ’s first coming to his second? Or does it deal chiefly with principles which are always valid in Christian experience? And what is a twentieth-century reader to do with creatures covered with eyes, locusts like horses, seven bowls of wrath, war in heaven, various beasts and a dragon? Michael Wilcock maintains tha when God’s words, declarations, arguments and reasonings had all been spoken, God gave the church “a gorgeous picture book.” Wilcok lifts the curtain on Revelation’s drama in eight scenes, helping our imaginations as well as our minds grasp the key concepts of this fascinating and enigmatic New Testament book.

THE NEW MEDIA THEORY READER
Edited by Robert Hassan and Julian Thomas
The study of new media opens up some of the most fascinating issues in contemporary culture: questions of ownership and control over information and cultural goods; the changing experience of space and time; the political consequences of new communication technologies; and the power of users and consumers to disrupt established economic and business models. The New Media Theory Reader brings together key readings on new media – what it is, where it came from, how it affects our lives, and how it is managed. Using work from media studies, cultural history and cultural studies, economics, law, and politics, the essays encourage readers to pay close attention to the ‘new’ in new media, as well as considering it as a historical phenomenon. The Reader features a general introduction as well as an editors’ introduction to each thematic section, and a useful summary of each reading. The New Media Theory Reader is an indispensable text for students on new media, technology, sociology and media studies courses. CONTRIBUTORS Andrew Barry Benjamin R.

THE NO-NONSENSE GUIDE TO CLASS, CASTE AND HIERARCHIES
Upper, middle or lower? Which class are you? Perhaps you don’t think class exists any more, but Jeremy Seabrook argues that it most certainly does, just in the way that caste still operates in India – even though it is officially outlawed in that country. Hierarchies and rankings have been with us since the earliest times and they show no sign of disappearing yet. Those at the top would have too much to lose.
And don’t think that ‘class’ is just a British phenomenon. It’s alive everywhere. In the US everyone is ‘middle class’ – except of course those who don’t work, are homeless and poor. They are the ‘underclass’, a fate almost worse than death.
THE NO-NONSENSE GUIDE TO GLOBAL MEDIA
From the silver screen to pay-per-view TV, the media are a significant force in society; and never more so than now, in the era of globalization. This No-Nonsense Guide introduces the political economy of the major media – film, television, radio, recording, publishing and the internet – from mega-mergers to new technologies. Author Peter Steven also emphasizes the diversity of local media production and audiences and their responses around the world. He shows us not just the corporate media moguls but slum-dwelling fans of Brazilian soap-style telenovelas as well as those arguing for media democracy.
THE NO-NONSENSE GUIDE TO ISLAM
For many non-Muslims, the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 in the US deepened an association of Islam with violence, despotism and suppression. They asked: Why are Muslims so violent? How can Islam justify the terrorism of al-Qaeda or the suicide bombers in Palestine? Why do Muslims ignore human and women’s rights? Have Muslims declared jihad (righteous struggle) against ‘Western infidels’?
But Muslims see Islam as about peace and justice. So what is ‘real Islam’? Sardar and Davies explain the concepts and the rich history of the Muslim world. But they also call for urgent reforms within Islam, and for the West to end its bigotry.
THE NO-NONSENSE GUIDE TO TERRORISM
Since the events of 11 September 2001, the propaganda uses of the word ‘terrorism’ have multiplied, and it has never been clearer that one person’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. This No-Nonsense Guide looks at debates about September 11 and responses to it, but also tries to get behind the causes and contexts of both group terrorism and state terrorism.
Jonathan Barker provides a historical sketch as well as current examples from the Middle East, Latin America, Europe and Asia. He guides readers through the moral and political theories and highlights the battle of images and ideas that accompanies them. Analyzing the dynamics of terrorism, Barker scrutinizes the war on terror and its fateful consequences for democracy.
THE NO-NONSENSE GUIDE TO WORLD POVERTY
Why are so many people poor in a world that’s richer than ever before? Something must be wrong with conventional thinking about wealth and poverty. In this No-Nonsense Guide to World Poverty Jeremy Seabrook summarizes his celebrated work on the meaning of poverty, drawing on the experience of poor people themselves in both rich and poor societies. He concludes that the opposite of poverty is not wealth but ‘sufficiency’. The relatively poor majority of the world’s people do not aim to be rich, but to be safe. Economic growth will never overcome problems it is largely responsible for creating. This is a clarion call for a radical rethink, not just about poverty, but about the way we live.
THE ONE LIFE: COLERIDGE AND HINDUISM
For the first time, a monographic study of Coleridge’s work extensively uncovers the connections of his poetry with the Hindu view of life. This study investigates Coleridge’s philosophical and spiritual itinerary; it originally contributes in showing the strong impact the first translations of some texts of Hinduism had on the author’s psyche, philosophical approach and poetical inspiration. In addition, Coleridge’s unpublished manuscript notes found in one of the Abbé J. A. Dubois’ seminal studies of India are here presented as proof of the poet’s long standing interest in and frequentation of Hinduism.
The Origin of the New Testament: And the Most Important Consequences of the New Creation
Adolf Harnack viewed the formation of the Christian canon as a mixed blessing. He was concerned about the exclusion of some early documents as well as the risks involved with Christianity becoming a religion of the book. This volume engages these concerns and others with scholarly creativity. Among other topics, Harnack examines reasons for the inclusion of four gospels in the New Testament rather than one.
The Passion of Christ: Expository Sermons on Mark 14-16
Dr. David Mende has produced this pithy collection of powerful sermons on the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the final three chapters of Mark’s Gospel. Ministers, seminary students, and congregants from all Church traditions will benefit from this well-crafted book that cogently blends sound scriptural exegesis and practical application along with meaningful sermon illustrations. I highly recommend this book.

“Josfin Raj’s work is a valuable contribution to New Testament studies and Christian journalism. This work should act as a correction to today’s manipulative and coercive Indian Christian journalism.

The Pause Principle: Step Back to Lead Forward
We live and lead in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. But paradoxically, Kevin Cashman contends that leaders today must not merely act more quickly but pause more deeply. He details a catalytic process to guide you to step back in order to lead forward in three critical growth areas: personal leadership, development of others, and fostering of cultures of innovation. You and your organization will learn to move from management speed and transaction to leadership significance and transformation.
The Power Of Proclamation
No matter what we are facing, as we learn how to proclaim the Word of God into our circumstances, God’s creative, transforming power is released. Every believer has both the privilege and the responsibility to proclaim God’s Word. In this book Derek first lays a scriptural foundation, then gives practical advice as to how to apply these principles. Finally, many powerful passages of Scripture are gathered into useful categories for daily use.
