The Medieval Franciscans

Cultural, historical and textual analysis of 300 propaganda pamphlets written by 166 German laymen and women reveals that each social class heard the Reformation message differently. The writers enthusiastically interpreted the Bible for themselves, finding justification for social and economic changes which suited the aims of their own class. The new ideology deepened the existing divisions in rural and urban society. The book presents, for the first time, a comprehensive selection of 166 lay authors. Knights, rural civil servants, technicians, patricians, lawyers and artisans describe the existing social order, their new beliefs and their hopes for change. They are eloquent and immensely human.

Christological eschatology or eschatological christology, that is the question. The answer is both. Within these double themes, Ellis explores a number of topics relating to the person of Jesus and this age and the age to come. Radiating from these two core concepts, topics from a historical, critical, and an exegetical perspective reflect an understanding of Scripture as preeminently the Word of God to the church and a conviction that biblical study at every level is pertinent to its theological concerns. Ellis concludes with three chapters that provide considered judgments on the historical and hermeneutical framework of early Christianity from which the theological studies proceed. This volume interacts with and offers further discussion on disputed topics in contemporary New Testament studies, and every chapter keeps both academic and ecclesial interests in view.

Theology

The usual picture of Jews going on the sabbath to the synagogue to worship thus appears to be without foundation. It is even doubtful that there were synagogue buildings, for synagogue normally meant community. The conclusion of this study, that there is no evidence that the sabbath was a day of communal Jewish worship before 200 CE, has far-reaching consequences for our understanding of early Jewish-Christian relationships.

This volume, published in honor of the occasion of David Pilbeam's 65th birthday, covers major topics in human, primate, and mammalian evolution, mostly from the Miocene to the present. The papers emphasize novel interpretations of several key areas of longstanding interest and importance, including Miocene biogeography and hominoid evolution, the origins of hominids, and new interpretations of the hominid fossil record. In terms of content, most of the papers tackle key issues in the evolution of hominoids and hominids in terms of systematic paleoenvironmental and behavioral questions. More broadly, however, the papers explore the epistemological problems of how one interprets the past from the available data.

Program comprehension is a vital software engineering and maintenance activity. It is necessary to facilitate reuse, inspection, maintenance, reverse engineering, reengineering, migration, and extension of existing software systems. IWPC 2005 presents both the state-of-the art and the state-of-the-practice in the general area of program comprehension.
