It is a clear, insightful, and reliable guide which avoids technical jargon and roots its discussions in concrete examples.

What is Anglicanism? How is it different from other forms of Christianity, and how did it come to have so many different versions throughout the world? Although originally united by location and a common belief, Anglicanism has gradually lost its pre-eminence as the English state church due to increasing pluralisation and secularisation. While there are distinctive themes and emphases which emerge from its early history and theology, there is little sense of unity in Anglicanism today. In ...

Author Mark Chapman Jr. draws on his own counseling experience to help those in need of various types of counseling, school counseling, pre-marital, marital, individual, and family counseling. Chapman provides a preventative approach he calls a "preemptive strike," and describes the ways in which counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, or even good friends can make a difference by sharing and caring-whether through giving advice and counsel, or through their sheer presence. He also discusse...

Alice bands, orange bladed boots and socks worn over the knee. Mansions in Cheshire, WAGs and written-off Ferraris. Referees with headsets, fourth officials, and an incomprehensible amount of stoppage time.There is only so much a true football fan can take, and in Heroes, Hairbands and Hissy Fits, Mark Chapman (aka Chappers) gives full vent to his feelings, as only the host of a football phone-in can. Football phone-ins are on the hitlist too, by the way. It is football as...

This is a compelling case study of a distinctive theological theme - the eschatological interpetation of the historical Jesus in Edwardian England - as an attempt to add greater precision to the history of theology in a neglected period. Looking at the impact of Adolf Harnack, Alfred Loisy, Albert Schweitzer and Johannes Weiss on biblical studies and theology before the First World War, Chapman argues that the future course of theology, in which eschatology played such a crucial role, was ...

"You can walk the Camino, or you can join the Camino."During the summer of 2022, I decided to escape the noise and chaos of our modern society and walk the 800 km pilgrimage, known as the Camino Frances, from southern France across northwestern Spain to Santiago de Compostela. As an adventurer and historian, the Camino Frances was perfect for me. I walked alone as a pilgrim who was an introvert, who battled PTSD, and who disliked people in general. However, this solo pilgrim was in ...

Christology can no longer be confined to the task of making philosophical sense of the figure of Jesus of Nazareth in terms of the formulation of the “two natures in one person” doctrine derived from the early Christian centuries. Christian theology is now required to interpret the impact and person of Jesus of Nazareth by responding to critical demands from many perspectives.What Christ? Whose Christ? therefore explores the Christological challenge by paying attention to ...

This book highlights the uses for underutilized crops, presenting the state-of-the-art in terms of genome sequencing for over 30 crops, previously understudied and under-researched. In a changing climate and with significant pressure on the land, it is the ideal time to be discussing novel crops, with significant biotic and abiotic tolerances and/or rich nutrient profiles for consumers. Previously, the only species with sequenced genomes were high-profile internationally recognized crops, ...
