Defying all odds, this book accounts for the rise of Dr. Daniel Kunene from abject poverty in the tiny town of Edenville, South Africa, to full professor at the prestigious University of Wisconsin-Madison, and to becoming an internationally sought-after poet and lecturer. Through his vivid recollections, and love of story, in the opening chapters of this book, we gain insights into his parents'' tenacious and passionate insistence that he and his three siblings get an education. Even if there were no school buildings. Even if it meant repeating a grade, he had passed with excellent scores, due to lack of money to pay the school fees for four children at the next level. Fees only blacks had to pay. Or riding a bike 15 miles through a rainstorm, then a flat tire to make it to his Matriculation exam. Or taking correspondence courses with University of Cape Town to complete his BA. Kunene''s timely and genuine sense of humour prevents any of this from becoming morose and gloomy. There is s

Zwei Fragen bilden den Kern der vorliegenden traditionsgeschichtlichen Untersuchung über die eschatologischen Vorstellungen in den beiden Thessalonicherbriefen (1Thess 4,13-5,11 und 2Thess 2,1-12): die traditionsgeschichtliche Herkunft der Bezeichnung 'der Mensch der Gesetzlosigkeit' (2Thess 2,3) / ''der Gesetzlose' (2Thess 2,8) und die Frage nach urchristlichen Überlieferungen, die den eschatologischen Vorstellungen aus beiden Thessalonicherbriefen nahe stehen könnten.In Bezug auf die traditionsgeschichtliche Herkunft des 'Menschen der Gesetzlosigkeit' zeigt Fritz W. Röcker, dass der Begriff 'Belial' mit 'Gesetzlosigkeit''/ 'Gesetzloser' wiedergegeben wurde. Belial bezeichnet im Alten Testament, in 'Qumran', den atl. Pseudepigraphen und im Neuen Testament stets Sachverhalte oder Personen, die gegen Gottes Gesetz oder gegen Gott gerichtet sind. Zudem ist der Begriff nahezu überall mythisch konnotiert. Als nächstliegende urchristliche Überlieferung, die den eschatologischen Vorstellungen aus den Thessalonicherbriefen zugrunde liegen könnte, hat sich die Überlieferung, die in Mt 24 aufgenommen ist, herauskristallisieren lassen. Aufgrund der Nähe, die diese Texte zueinander aufweisen, ist es wahrscheinlich, dass der 2Thess den 1Thess mit seinen Ausführungen auf dem Hintergrund einer Überlieferung, wie sie auch Mt 24 vorgelegen hatte, ergänzen bzw. fortsetzen will. Die Naherwartung der Parusie im 1Thess und die Vorstellung von der Verzögerung derselben im 2Thess werden jeweils als Reaktionen verstanden, die auf unterschiedliche Fragen in der Gemeinde von Thessaloniki zurückzuführen sind. Der/das Katechon dürfte am ehesten mit dem Verkündiger des Evangeliums / dem Evangelium zu identifizieren sein.

Konstantin Melnikov (18901974) is unquestionably one of the outstanding architects of the 20th century in spite of the fact that he fell silent early, leaving behind only limited work that was insufficiently publicized, and restricted almost exclusively to Moscow, the city of his birth in which he spent nearly his entire life and which did not appreciate him. He was raised in humble circumstances, but enjoyed an excellent education. Beginning in the mid-1920s, after the turmoil that followed the war, revolution and civil war, his career soared at almost meteoric speed as he took the lead in the young Soviet architecture movement with completely autonomous, highly artistic buildings that were free from dogmatism of any kind. Even more rapid than his rise to fame was his downfall: Treated with general hostility, he was unable to defend himself against the accusation of formalism when Stalin put an end to architectural ventures and experiments around the mid-1930s. He was expelled from the architects' association and was banned from practicing as an architect for the remaining four decades of his life. In the late 1920s, at the peak of his career, he had the opportunity to build a house for himself and his family in Moscow, in which he was then able to live until the end of his life. This house, a memorable symbiosis of almost peasant-like simplicity and extreme radicalness, is one of the most impressive, surprising and probably most enigmatic works produced by 20th-century architecture. Its simplicity is only outward; in reality this is a highly complex work which links together the elements of architecture explicitly and inextricably, which takes a clear and completely autonomous stand and which, in a way that little else has done, raises the question as to the nature of genuinely architectonic thinking. In essayistic form the book attempts to follow the paths laid out in the architect's work from the perspective of an architect.
