In the 1920s, Adolf Rosenberger was one of Germanys best known racing car drivers. He was also co-founder and managing director of a design firm that had recently been launched by Ferdinand Porsche, and it was his job to ensure financing for the design firm a firm that provided important impetus during this time for technical innovation and racing car construction. When the firm fell into difficulties during the global business crisis, he ended up stepping away from his management role in the company, but remained active as partner and "foreign representative". The Jewish Rosenberger was however unable to escape the increasing persecution by the Nazis: in 1935 he lost his shares in the company and landed for a time in a concentration camp. After emigrating in 1938 he would go on over the following decades to develop a precarious new existence in the USA. Compensation and restitution proceedings that he initiated against the company would end up severing any remaining ties with the now internationally renowned sports car manufacturer. This book, drawing on documents that have remained unpublished until now, frames and analyses the exceptional and moving biography of Adolf Rosenberger.

Whether youre a scholar, theologian, pastor, or seminary student, The Authority of the Septuagint is an invitation to engage with the Septuagint, its history, and its significance for the church today.

Building on the premise that landscapes provide a common ground where different kinds of knowledge may come together, this edited volume draws on a wide range of disciplines, including geology and geography, cultural anthropology and philosophy, architecture and art history. It suggests that the complex social and environmental crises of the 21st century cannot be understood independently of a historically constituted aesthetic approach to landscapes.Boulouki is a collective that deals with the traditional knowledge of building. Under the Landscape (Santorini and Therasia, 2021 2022), one of the collectives most important projects, comprised a participatory restoration, research into local materials, an exhibition and a symposium, and is the basis and starting point of this publication.

Over the past two decades, Lisa Oppenheim has developed a critically acclaimed practice that is deeply rooted in the field of photography while also constantly exploring its margins. She often focuses on the unexplored potential of the mediums artistic, technological, and sociopolitical histories. Combining material experimentation with archival research, Oppenheim transforms or, in her words, "reprocesses"images and ideas both recent and historical by employing creative mechanisms ranging from a host of photographic processes to other media such as textiles, film and video, and, most recently, sculpture. Published in conjunction with her exhibition Monsieur Steichen at MUDAM Luxembourg, this richly illustrated catalogue surveys Oppenheims works from the past dozen years, and includes new texts by Darsie Alexander, Christophe Gallois, Jacob Proctor, and Bettina Steinbrugge, as well as a conversation between Lisa Oppenheim and artist Liz Deschenes.Lisa Oppenheim (*1975, New York) lives and works in New York City and holds degrees from Brown University, Bard College, and the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten. She is represented by Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in New York and Los Angeles and The Approach in London.

Provenance research is so much more than a search for origin: It offers new perspectives on objects, collections, their histories, and the multifaceted relationships embedded within them. The Museum der Kulturen Basel is systematically examining its collection for coloniality and highlighting the central importance of collaborating with communities in the Global South. This work also reveals how complex and demanding ethnological provenance research is. This volume "raises groundbreaking questions that will shape ethnological provenance research in the decades to come" (George Meiu).The Museum der Kulturen Basel is one of the five state museums of the Canton of Basel-Stadt and, with a collection of over 340,000 objects from all regions of the world, it is Switzerlands largest ethnological museum. Managing this collection acquiring, preserving, securing, exhibiting, and mediating the collection is the core mission around which the museums activities are centered. In recent years, provenance research and collaboration with so-called "source communities" have played a prominent role.

When it comes to developing a deep, trusting relationship with God, efficiency and productivity are not the answer. Its far better to "waste" time with him, to just enjoy being with him. After all, thats how any friendship grows.But making room for God in the midst of our fast-paced lives is not an easy task. Just as time with our best friends can get squeezed out by the rush of activities, so can time with God. Even "wasting time" with God means making a commitment and setting priorities--whether its something we enjoy or not.Beginning with the supposition that God desires friendship with us, Klaus Issler encourages us to consider seven character traits and to develop their companion disciplines: friendship, humility, faith, commitment, communication, apprenticeship and partnership. Here is a full-orbed model of Christian spirituality that will be of lasting value.

The remarkable literary collaboration between a Nobel Prizewinning novelist and his editor of more than forty years.Three people have been of major importance and influence in my life and you are one of them. There is a way in which I am as a writer at least partly your creation.-- William Golding to Charles Monteith In 1953, William Goldings novel Lord of the Flies was rescued from a slush pile of unsolicited manuscripts by Charles Monteith, a new young editor at the publishing house Faber & Faber. It went on to sell over 25 million copies. Over the next forty years Monteith worked closely with Golding on every one of his novels.These letters tell the story of their remarkable collaboration. They chart Goldings transformation from unknown middle-aged schoolmaster to knighted Nobel Prizewinner, and they tell the story of a deep and mutually rewarding friendship, as Dear Monteith and Dear Golding become Dear Charles and Dear Bill.In this beautifully produced, stitch-bound volume, Tim Kendall draws on both public and private archives to reveal the relationship between one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century and his publisher, both men who considered themselves, for different reasons, to be outsiders. Their correspondence sheds fascinating light on both the mysteries of the writing process and the vagaries of the literary world.Generous, amusing, acerbic, intimate and often irreverent, these letters encompass gossip, reading recommendations and stories of Greek island adventures as well as detailed discussion of titles, characters and Goldings dreadful spelling.

Edición de Luis Gómez Canseco.Vida, ascendencia, nacimiento, crianza y aventurasdel doctor don Diego de Torres Villarroel fue publicada por primera vez en 1743. Esta autobiografía novelada y novelesca se convirtio en un exito inmediato.La historia comienza con un protagonista que parece ir para picaro, pero que termina prefiriendo la vida acomodada de un rentista. De una pagina a otra lo vemos ejercer de estudiante, de truhan, ermitaño, bailarin, medico, torero, soldado, bordador, adivino, profesor, astrologo, hombre de Iglesia, polemista, peregrino, exiliado, delincuente, rastreador de duendes, charlatan, paseante refinado por la corte, actor, sabio o loco.A pesar de la buena fortuna de la Vida entre los editores modernos, la edicion de Luis Gomez Canseco para la BCRAE puede considerarse la primera plenamente atenta a todos los pormenores del texto, y nos devuelve una imagen del autor muy distinta a la del escritor negligente que el mismo quiso atribuirse. La anotacion y el estudio completan una rigurosa aproximacion a esta obra capital del pleno Setecientos.

A Groundbreaking Analysis of Dallas Willards Theology of Spiritual Formation Dallas Willards formational theology begins with the claim that the aim of God in human history is the formation of a community of loving persons apprenticed to Jesusand ends with the promise that such apprenticeship prepares us to share in Gods governance of the cosmos.This apprenticeship to Jesus is the path to human flourishing, the renewal of the church, and the healing of the world. In Kingdom Apprenticeship, Keas Keasler offers the first comprehensive study of Willards theology of spiritual formation. He argues that while the three Ds of disciples, discipleship, and disciplines made Willard famous, his formational theology is much deeper than that. Willards unique grammar of transformation is grounded in ordinary life, for it is in our present reality that we are trained to participate in Gods eternal purposes.Mining Willards philosophical works, theological writings, recorded lectures, and unpublished papers, Keasler shows: Willards theology serves as a practical curriculum for spiritual growth, offering a remedy for the character crisis we see in the church and in society. Apprenticeship to Jesus is both for growth in Christlikeness and preparation for reigning with God in the fullness of his kingdom. Spiritual formation is not secondary or supplementary to Gods mission; it is its very strategy. Against the drift of modern theology into abstraction, Willard calls the church back to a clinical theologyone aimed at the transformation of character through an interactive life with God. Formation and mission, contemplation and action, inner renewal and outward vocationall are inseparably linked in Willards vision.Kingdom Apprenticeship offers a fresh and urgent call: to recover apprenticeship to Jesus as the heart of the Christian lifeand the hope of the world.
