Free Download Keir Giles, "Who Will Defend Europe?: An Awakened Russia and a Sleeping Continent"
English | ISBN: 1911723480 | 2024 | 280 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Who will defend Europe? The answer should be obvious: Europe should be able to defend itself. Yet, for decades, most of the continent enjoyed a defence holiday, outsourcing protection to the United States while banking an increasingly illusory 'peace dividend'. Now, after three decades of reducing armed forces and drawing down defence industries, Europe finds itself close to unprotected-while Russia is intent on continuing its war of expansion, and the US is distracted and divided.

Free Download Matthew Burden, "Who We Were Meant to Be: Rediscovering Our Identity as God's Royal Priesthood"
English | ISBN: 1666708747 | 2021 | 262 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
What is our purpose in life? Is there an even grander story at work behind our salvation in Christ? Drawing on the reflections of early church writers and theologians, Who We Were Meant to Be invites the reader to consider the whole tapestry of God's plan from start to finish, culminating in a vision of all creation being restored and renewed as the temple of God's glory. Guided by the wisdom and insights of the patristic age, this book urges us to take up the mantle of our appointed role as royal priests, not only as a status to be enjoyed, but as a vocation to shape our entire lives. We have an open invitation to recapture the grand theological vision of Christianity's early centuries, and to step once again into the transfiguring light of who we were meant to be.

Free Download Junhee Lee, "Who Is the True Seer Driven by God: Balak or Balaam?: A Text Linguistic and Literary Study of Numbers 22-24"
English | ISBN: 1666793825 | 2022 | 166 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Serious Bible readers, including biblical scholars, Sunday Bible teachers, laypersons of church, and even the Sunday school kids, ask the question, "Is Balaam a good or bad person?" or "Is Balaam a prophet of God or a pagan diviner?" However, nobody has provided a relieving answer for the question up to this day. Then, what does the Balaam story in the passage of Num 22-24 tell us about the character of Balaam? More fundamentally, what does the passage want readers to know? This book suggests a new way for Bible reading, especially the Old Testament. The Old Testament readers can discover a proper strategy to understand the intention and message of every single passage of the Old Testament through the ways that are suggested in this book.

English | ISBN: 1532632193 | 2017 | 70 pages | EPUB | 1506 KB
Who is Chosen? introduces students to four different theories about Christian salvation. The goal is not to convince anyone to agree with a particular theory, but rather to allow students to be more informed about major lines of thought within Christian theology. Discussion questions and a short critique are provided for each major theory. There are also brief remarks concerning the vexing problem of addressing Christian salvation to those outside of the Christian Church.

Free Download William W. Schumacher, "Who Do I Say That You Are?: Anthropology and the Theology of Theosis in the Finnish School of Tuomo Mannermaa"
English | ISBN: 1606083201 | 2010 | 214 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
The question of what it means to be a human creature lies at the heart of contemporary wrestling with anthropology, and especially anthropology from a theological perspective. Through both historical and systematic engagement with the so-called Finnish school of Tuomo Mannermaa, this study explores and assesses the anthropological dimension of their theology of theosis, or deification. Mannermaa initiated a minor revolution in Luther studies and in contemporary Lutheran theology by interpreting Luther's doctrine of justification to be a close analog to the Eastern Orthodox doctrine of theosis, but his ecumenical interests led him to minimize or overlook key themes in Luther and sharp distinctions between Luther and Orthodox theologians. Mannermaa's colleague Simo Peura then developed this thesis with specific reference to anthropology in a way reminiscent of the sixteenth-century reformer Andreas Osiander. On closer inspection, the project of Mannermaa and his Finnish colleagues fails to understand adequately both Luther's sources and his own theological development. In this study, a theological anthropology which is more consistent with Luther's theology is developed, an anthropology which is determined by God's address to his human creatures: what God himself says we are, and what he makes us by that word. Such an answer to the anthropological question refuses to flee from creation but instead upholds the complex and paradoxical nature of human beings as creatures, sinners, and saints.

Free Download Annika Käck, "Who Am I as a Teacher?: Migrant Teachers' Redefined Professional Identity "
English | ISBN: 1009341014 | 2025 | 84 pages | PDF | 1296 KB
Redefined transformative learning refers to learning that implies a change in the learner's identity, which includes cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions and is something all teachers, in this case migrant teachers, experience and negotiate when meeting a new educational context. "Who am I as a teacher in a new country?" migrant teachers ask themselves. To understand oneself as a teacher, one must identify and coordinate the past and present with a future direction, which causes migrant teachers to talk about a transformed professional identity with additional skills. This Element concerns migrant teachers' transformation, how they redefine their professional identity, and how to support this in teacher education.

Free Download Kenneth L Vaux, "While I Have Being: Winterreise "
English | ISBN: 1498264492 | 2012 | 216 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
This diary is a fine-grained, often daily, theological reflection on the author's final ponderings on his ordeal with a serious illness, a concluding sabbatical, a last year of teaching, a culminating lecture, presiding at Eucharist, and summarial notes about "what God is doing in the world." Amid all these meanderings it holds the lectionary of the biblical and liturgical calendar in one hand and the newspaper in the other (K. Barth). Events during this time span were transformative and world shaking-and found resonance in my personal drama. One finds art and music, faith and politics. The reader will easily slip one's own story into this narrative. My purpose is precisely this-to offer symbiotic and symbolic story on life and its meaning.
