From Calvinist to Catholic, from Charismatic to AmaZioni, the Rainbow Nation has one of the most colourful, variegated, and bewildering array of Christian churches in the world.

In this clear and readable history of Christianity in South Africa, Kevin Roy answers these questions with comprehensive, succinct and rigorous historical analysis with sympathy and honesty. Dr Ro...

When men act as parents they do so in diverse physical and social spaces imbued with symbolic meaning. They father in the military overseas, on the farm, in dilapidated inner cities, immersed in ethnic neighborhoods, navigating idealized places of leisure where families go, as stepfathers in spaces where physical dimensions and family meanings intersect, as nonresident fathers managing less than ideal conditions, rolling across the interstate as long-haul truckers, playing catch alongside ...

Die Insel im südlichen Sargassomeer hatte sich als Falle entpuppt. Ihre schmale Passage in die liebliche Bucht hatte die "Isabella VIII" zwar durchsegeln können, aber da hatte der Sturmschwell die Galeone über die Barriere getragen. Jetzt gab es kein Zurück mehr. Die Insel schien unbewohnt, aber dann entdeckten die Seewölfe Feuerstellen am Strand. Lebten hier Kannibalen? Plötzlich war der eiserne Carberry spurlos verschwunden, und damit begann eine Serie mysteriöser Geschehnisse...

Irgendwo zwischen Formosa und den Batan-Inseln schlug der Gott des Windes und der Wellen zu. Zuerst schralte der Wind und schickte seine Vorläufer aus Nordosten - pfeifende Böen, die bereits das Verhängnis ahnen ließen. Die See wurde kabbelig.

Dann heulte ein fast eisiger Wind durch die Wanten und Pardunen, wie er schneidender auch im Nordatlantik n...

Von drüben, von der Teufelsinsel, näherten sich die Verfolger. Die Männer um den Seewolf hatten nichts weiter als eine Axt und ein paar Messer - und ihren Mut. Und sie zeigten, daß sie nicht nur auf See zu kämpfen verstanden...
