Biblical
Une vague d'hallucinations balaie le monde : visions, spectres, flash-backs... Il s'agit d'abord d'ombres distinguées du coin de l'oeil ou d'aperçus d'êtres chers depuis longtemps disparus. Mais peu à peu, ces manifestations se font plus saisissantes. Plus terrifiantes. Une adolescente française assiste à l'exécution de Jeanne d'Arc. Un jeune Hollandais prend part à un raid viking. Une Bostonienne se perd dans une jungle préhistorique... Alors que ces phénomènes prennent une tournure apocalyptique, seul un homme est en mesure de soupçonner la vérité. Mais ce que découvre le psychiatre John Macbeth dépasse de loin les frontières de la religion ou de la science. Et cela pourrait lui coûter sa raison comme sa vie...

Leviticus
Whereas many books in this field deal with individual aspects or texts of the study of family laws, Leviticus : The Priestly Laws and Prohibitions from the Perspective of Ancient Near East and Africa examines extensively biblical texts, ancient Near Eastern text, and oral traditions from Africa. Thus, three different cultures converge : the world of the Hebrew Bible, the world of the ancient Near East, and the world of Africa. This volume examines in detail the history of the development of ancient laws in general and family laws in particular, especially the laws relating to marriages between close relatives. Furthermore, Johnson M. Kimuhu looks at prohibitions and taboos in Africa and the problems they pose with regard to the interpretation and translation of difficult biblical concepts into African languages. In that sense, Kimuhu provides an example of how to contextualize or integrate African traditions into the study of biblical Hebrew, and he also offers insights into the current debate on the study of kinship from the point of view of social/cultural anthropology and the Hebrew Bible legal system. Teachers, students, and researchers in biblical studies, ancient Near Eastern studies, African traditions, and social/cultural anthropology will find this book helpful in their quest to understand family laws, prohibitions, and taboos.

Thomas Mann's «Joseph und seine Brüder» and the Phallic Theology of the Old Testament
When Thomas Mann began to work on his Joseph novel, he was motivated to do so by the image of the beautiful seventeen-year-old youth and the erotic attraction this image exercised on him personally. He undertook to retell the biblical story of Joseph in order to explore the meaning of this attraction. In the phallic theology of the Old Testament - Israel's covenant with Yahweh was a sacred marriage, outwardly marked by circumcision, for the purpose of mutual sanctification and aggrandizement - Mann discovered the framework of a metaphysics of homoerotic desire. This book explores the many implications Mann found in his biblical source, including the paradoxical notion that a certain degree of suppression of the original desire is required if it is to continue to play its all-important role as a motivating force.

The Biblical Vision of the Human Person
Although modern study of the Bible has made impressive philological advances, it lacks an adequate philosophical frame of reference that would link the symbolism of the Biblical narrative to the problems of human existence. The present work sets out to provide the germ of a philosophy of language and human consciousness that would serve as a basis for a proper exegesis of the Biblical text. Part One establishes the historical, philosophical and hermeneutical framework by examining the link between experience, symbolization and the structure of human consciousness as elaborated historically in myth and philosophy. Part Two applies this framework to representative anthropological texts from the Old and New Testaments in order to forge a link between the Biblical symbolism and the fundamental problems of human existence. Part Three draws attention to the implications of the inquiry for a philosophical anthropology and a more comprehensive hermeneutical framework.

Everyday Men
This study is about everyday men. They are approached through a unique marriage of biblical theology and empirical research which gives birth to a missionary challenge. Part One attempts to build a theological foundation for looking at people from the aspect of belief and unbelief. It sees this distinction as a crucial theme in the biblical material which remains relevant to men everywhere. The author discovers five elements of Christian belief in the biblical material while unbelief spans the five elements by its void, denial, or choice of an alternative. Part Two starts with a random sample, in-depth interview of fifty men in a "working-class" area of Birmingham, England. The interviews attempt to discover the nature and saliency of the men's belief and unbelief in the Christian faith. The analysis stresses the qualitative response with the emphasis on listening to the men describe their lives, values, beliefs, and lack of beliefs in their own words. The findings are also compared to other related studies, prompting some conclusions regarding the meaning of these findings. The author attempts to bring the biblical material to bear on the findings about ordinary people and asks whether they can be described as believers or unbelievers. From this starting point, it becomes obvious that the scope of unbelief is very broad. Part Three takes the understanding of God's Word and men's words and moves toward a missiological goal of approaching unbelievers with a gospel for today. It sees both the content and context of the gospel as important. The cultural problem is briefly considered and specific approaches are suggested in relation to the climate of unbelief in "working-class" English culture.

Covenant and Liberation
This book springs from the practical interaction of two absorbing interests : in covenant, thanks to many years of lecturing on the Scriptures, in which covenants provide a sure road from start to finish of the Bible ; and in liberation, an interest sharpened by more than a decade of working in a Lima parish with people struggling desperately to break free from the cycle of poverty, oppression and premature death. Theirs is part of the struggle for liberation throughout Latin America and many other parts of our global home. Reflecting with the poor on their situation in the light of the Scriptures has led to a fuller realization that covenant and liberation are two sides of the same coin - liberation is for covenant, and covenant is to consolidate and promote freedom as befits God's family. First comes a synthesis of the biblical covenants, indicating their continuity but also the unique characteristics of each one. Special attention is paid to the new covenant, often reflected in terms of kingdom, community, family and mutual love. Then it is indicated how new light may be drawn from such a central biblical theme in order to view correctly and share personally in today's liberation struggles.

Strange Adventures
Strange Adventures examines portrayals of womanhood in the works of prize-winning French author Pierrette Fleutiaux. Fleutiaux's refreshing pictures of womanhood offer insights into how women can become more whole, substantial and free in themselves and in their relationships, as well as how they can contribute to the external world through their creativity and leadership. The study demonstrates how Fleutiaux's heroines navigate the external, bodily and inner situations of adolescence, early adult life, marriage, motherhood, maturity, leadership and death, in the process developing greater inner resources of wisdom, compassion and resilience. This volume considers selections from Fleutiaux's oeuvre, from her first short fiction Histoire de la chauve-souris to her recent Loli le temps venu, including Métamorphoses de la reine (Goncourt de la nouvelle) and Nous sommes éternels (Prix Femina). Using a theoretical framework which draws on Jungian concepts and the philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir, the study analyses women's individuation trajectories at each stage of life. Throughout, Fleutiaux's depictions are shown to pose a challenge to existing conceptions of womanhood and individuality, thus opening up new understandings of what it means to be a woman, and to be human.

Third World Tourism Research 1950-1984
Since the early fifties tourism to developing countries has dramatically increased and in many a developing country it is now a sector of vital importance. This increase has been reflected in an equally impressive rate of growth in scholarly output. Despite this, there are as yet no indexed guides providing in a single volume easy access to the rapidly expanding body of knowledge. This bibliography seeks to fill the gap. It covers a period of 35 years and comprises more than 2000 titles in English, French, German and Dutch, on tourism in the Third World and in richer countries such as Greece, Yugoslavia, Portugal and Spain. The titles are chronologically arranged according to the year of publication, and for each year in alphabetical order. To assist readers the titles are catalogued by three indexes : an author and editor index, a geographical index and a subject index.

Les derniers jours du Tullianum. The last days of Tullianum
Je vis dans une pièce. A moins que ce ne soit elle qui vive en moi. Régulièrement quelqu'un vient. Raclement de ferraille, craquement d'os, gémissements rauques, autant de bruits annonçant sa venue à chaque fois. Ses passages sont brefs. Il ne reste pas. Derrière lui, j'entends la porte qui se referme. Après sept années d'une guerre sanglante contre les légions romaines, Jugurtha mourut en prison, à Rome, vers l'an 104 avant Jésus-Christ. Avec lui s'éteignit la lignée des "Aguellid amokrane", ces grands rois numides qui ont écrit en lettres d'or l'Histoire ancienne de l'Afrique du Nord. Live in a room. Unless it is the room which lives in me. Regularly somebody comes. Scraping of scrap, crackle of bones, hoarse groans, so many noises announcing his coming every time. His passages are brief. He does not stay. Behind him, I hear the door which closes. After seven years of a bloody war against the Roman legions, Yugurthen died in prison, in Rome, at about the year 104 before Christ. With him went out the lineage of "Aguellid amokrane", these great kings Numides who wrote in gold letters the ancient History of North Africa.

Douglas Gordon / Alberto Giacometti
Rien ne prédispose Douglas Gordon à rencontrer Alberto Giacometti. L'année 1966 où ce dernier décède à l'hôpital de Chur en Suisse est celle qui voit Douglas Gordon naître à Glasgow en Ecosse. On pourrait s'arrêter là et considérer que la chronologie de ces deux jalons de l'existence justifie à lui seul de réunir deux artistes dont le travail est particulièrement hanté par ce qui nous ramène à notre condition humaine et à la crainte justifiée d'une mort certaine. Et pourtant... Nothing made Douglas Gordon susceptible to meet Alberto Giacometti. 1966, the year when he died in the hospital in Coire in Switzerland was the year Douglas Gordon was born in Glasgow in Scotland. One could stop there and consider that the chronology of those two landmarks of existence alone justifies uniting two artists whose work is haunted particularly by what leads us back to our human condition and the justified fear of a certain death. And yet...

Aussi décide-t-il un jour de s'en débarrasser. Le scénario est vite trouvé : profitant d'une de ses promenades quotidiennes, il la précipitera du haut d'une falaise. Aussitôt dit, aussitôt fait. Tout s'est passé comme prévu, ou presque : en rentrant à la maison, Al découvre Audrey tranquillement assise devant la cheminée. Qui a-t-il alors jeté dans le vide ? Commence pour Al un long cauchemar, dont il est encore très loin de soupçonner l'issue. Mais une chose est sûre : sa tranquillité s'éloigne à vue d'œil… « Ce polar jouissif, petite perle d'humour noir, plonge dans de vilains coups bas, de terribles quiproquos et quelques coups de théâtre fumeux.

Tracing the Evidence
Tracing the Evidence : Dinah in Post-Hebrew Bible Literature examines the post-biblical literary developments of Dinah, the daughter of Leah and Jacob. According to Genesis 34, Dinah was sexually violated by Shechem ; however, there are gaps in the biblical narrative and little written about what happened to her after the fateful time. Tracing the Evidence considers how post-Hebrew Bible traditions have filled in some of those gaps. Some traditions give more information about her day-to-day life, how old she was when Shechem met her, and various details about her subsequent marriage(s) and children.

PIONEERS OF REPRESENTATION THEORY: FROBENIUS, BURNSIDE, SCHUR, AND BRAUER
The year 1897 was marked by two important mathematical events: the publication of the first paper on representations of finite groups by Ferdinand Georg Frobenius ( 1849-1917) and the appearance of the first treatise in English on the theory of finite groups by William Burnside (1852-1927). Burnside soon developed his own approach to representations of finite groups. In the next few years, working independently, Frobenius and Burnside explored the new subject and its applications to finite group theory.
They were soon joined in this enterprise by Issai Schur (1875-194 1) and some years later, by Richard Brauer (1901-1977). These mathematicians' pioneering research is the subject of this book. It presents an account of the early history of representation theory through an analysis of the published work of the principals and others with whom the principals' work was interwoven. Also included are biographical sketches and enough mathematics to enable readers to follow the development of the subject. An introductory chapter contains some of the results involving characters of finite abelian groups by Lagrange, Gauss, and Dirichlet, which were part of the mathematical tradition from which Frobenius drew his inspiration.
This book presents the early history of an active branch of mathematics. It includes enough detail to enable readers to learn the mathematics along with the history. The volume would be a suitable text for a course on representations of finite groups, particularly one emphasizing an historical point of view.

«Philos»: A Designation for the Jesus-Disciple Relationship
The Biblical understanding of "divine-human friendship" is developed by the Fourth Evangelist as a "master-disciple relationship" by employing the term "philos". This term emphasizes both divine initiative and human response as the constitutive elements of such a relationship. This book is an exegetico-theological study of "philos", which analyzes the implications of the term for the Johannine theology of friendship between Jesus and the believers.

Victory will be next ! A Diary, 6th June - 10th August 1944
The story takes place in Brittany, focussing on Rennes and Redon, i.e. about 200 kilometres (125 miles) from the D-Day landing beaches in Normandy, about fifteen minutes by plane as the crow flies. The months of June and July 1944 were very difficult for the allied troops. They relentlessly fought to block German reinforcements coming from the West and the South, which resulted in constant bombing and machine-gunning of the rear boundary of the front line, the area where we were living. As civilians, we did not take part in the fighting and everyday life alternated between calm periods, on the verge of being "normal", and tragic moments of great tension. ''Victory will be next ! " is a set of notes written at that moment in time, day by day, by a fifteen-year-old boy. They are, obviously, fragmented, even a little naive, But they are nonetheless a testimony of a snapshot of history within the larger picture of WWII. They should be taken as such.
