Like the Church Fathers, Aquinas often reflected upon Jesus in typological terms (especially in his biblical commentaries), just as the New Testament does. Showing the connections between New Testament, Patristic, and Aquinas' own typological portraits of Jesus, Levering reveals how the eschatological Jesus of biblical scholarship can be integrated with Thomistic Christology. His study produces a fully contemporary Thomistic Christology that unites ressourcement and Thomistic modes of theological inquiry, thereby bridging two schools of contemporary theology that too often are imagined as rivals. Levering's book reflects and augments the current resurgence of Thomistic Christology as an ecumenical project of relevance to all Christians. ![]() Thich Nhat Hanh, "Reconciliation: Healing the Inner Child" English | ISBN: 1935209647 | 2006 | 184 pages | MOBI | 240 KB Start your journey toward inner child healing with mindfulness tools that will help you mend fraught relationships, process difficult emotions, and transform the hurt of childhood trauma. ![]() Brantly Womack, "Recentering Pacific Asia" English | ISBN: 1009393839 | 2023 | 274 pages | PDF | 2 MB The Pacific Rim of Asia - Pacific Asia - is now the world's largest and most cohesive economic region, and China has returned to its center. China's global outlook is shaped by its regional experience, first as a pre-modern Asian center, then displaced by Western-oriented modernization, and now returning as a central producer and market in a globalized region. Developments since 2008 have been so rapid that future directions are uncertain, but China's presence, population, and production guarantee it a key role. As a global competitor, China has awakened American anxieties and the US-China rivalry has become a major concern for the rest of the world. However, rather than facing a power transition between hegemons, the US and China are primary nodes in a multi-layered, interconnected global matrix that neither can control. Brantly Womack argues that Pacific Asia is now the key venue for working out a new world order. ![]() Steve Vogel, "Reasonable Doubt: A Shocking Story of Lust and Murder in the American Heartland " English | ISBN: 1543928676 | 2018 | 500 pages | MOBI | 2 MB A mother and her three young children are found hacked to death in their beds.

The starting point in this Element is readers' opinions about and their uses of bestselling fiction in English. Readers' relationships with bestsellers bring into view their practices of book selection, and their navigation of book recommendation culture. Based on three years of original research (2019-2021), including a quantitative survey with readers, interviews with social media influencers, and qualitative work with international Gen Z readers in a private Instagram chat space, the authors highlight three core actions contemporary multimodal readers make- choosing, connecting, and responding- in a transmedia era where on- and offline media practices co-exist. The contemporary multimodal reader, or the MMR3, they argue, illustrates the pervasiveness of recommendation culture, reliance on trusted others, and an ethic of responsiveness. ![]() Tammy Wylie, "Raised-Bed Gardening for Beginners: Your Guide to Growing Sustainability and Self-Sufficiency" English | ISBN: 1641525096 | 2019 | 142 pages | MOBI | 11 MB Start a thriving garden with the beginner's guide to raised bed gardening - and give dad an amazing Father's Day gift! ![]() Scott Meredith, "Radical Xingyi Energetics" English | ISBN: 1500669202 | 2014 | 234 pages | PDF | 3 MB RADICAL XINGYI ENERGETICS presents the classical Chinese internal martial art of Xingyiquan as MARTIAL NEI GONG, using stylized striking techniques to cultivate internal energy.
