Christian Family

Editura: ARROW RECORDS

Anul aparitiei: 2020

What is marriage? What has gone wrong? What is the purpose of the human race? Who owns the children? How should they be raised? Do children need salvation? What happens to a child who dies young? Should young children be baptized? Does God relate to families or individuals? Does the family have a leader? Does the church have a part to play? Is singleness an inferior state? What about mixed marriages? Is lovemaking outside marriage wrong? What about same-sex attraction? Can Christians divorce? These are some of the questions this book deals with. With families breaking down all around us, the author says some important things on the foundations of Christian family and how to make it work. David Seccombe holds the PhD from Cambridge University. From being pastor of St Matthew's Anglican Church in Perth Western Australia, he moved in 1993 with his wife Lorraine and their four children to Cape Town, South Africa, where he led George Whitefield College through the post-apartheid years to becoming a leading theological centre for the African continent. David and Lorraine live in Perth, where he continues to teach, preach and write.

The Rainbow

Editura: EVERYMANS LIB

Anul aparitiei: 1993

A multi-generational family saga that chronicles the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family on their Nottinghamshire farm--and the riveting prequel to Women in Love--from one of the greatest and most controversial writers of the 20th century. Rooted in an agrarian past, Tom and Lydia Brangwen and their descendants find themselves navigating a rapidly changing world--a world of unprecedented individualism, alienation, and liberation. Banned after an obscenity trial in 1915 for its frankness about sexuality, THE RAINBOW was most remarkable for the pathbreaking journeys of its female characters, particularly that of Ursula Brangwen, whose destiny Lawrence explored further in his next novel, Women in Love. In its surface drama, in its capacious and expansive rhythms that so resemble the rhythms of nature itself, THE RAINBOW is one of the world's great examples of the multi-generational family saga. But the large claim that Lawrence's masterpiece has made on the attention of readers and critics stems less from this fact than from the deeper parallel history he provides for the Brangwens--a history of the growth of their souls, moving in a great arc from sensuality to ...

A History of the Jews in America

Editura: VINTAGE

Anul aparitiei: 1993

Spanning 350 years of Jewish experience in this country, A History of the Jews in America is an essential chronicle by the author of The Course of Modern Jewish History. With impressive scholarship and a riveting sense of detail, Howard M. Sachar tells the stories of Spanish marranos and Russian refugees, of aristocrats and threadbare social revolutionaries, of philanthropists and Hollywood moguls. At the same time, he elucidates the grand themes of the Jewish encounter with America, from the bigotry of a Christian majority to the tensions among Jews of different origins and beliefs, and from the struggle for acceptance to the ambivalence of assimilation.

Victorian Painting

Editura: Thames & Hudson Ltd

Anul aparitiei: 1993

The range of artistic production in the Victorian age included history painting; topographical landscapes of the Continent and the Middle East; Landseer's royal portraits and heroic animal pictures; Pre-Raphaelite painting with its combined naturalism and symbolism; Leighton's classical mythologies; and Frith's popular depictions of the leisured middle classes. Amid this great variety of styles and emphasis, influential critics such as Ruskin dictated that art should be morally uplifting, an orthodoxy challenged by Whistler, Sickert, Steer and their fellows among the "London Impressionists".
