John Wiley and Sons Ltd Animal Welfare Limping Towards Eden
Book SynopsisThere has been a recent explosion of active concern in matters of animal welfare. The science behind animal welfare has progressed significantly, new codes of practice and legislation have come into to being, and innovative methods to assess welfare schemes for food production have emerged. Part of a major animal welfare series, Animal Welfare: Limping Towards Eden is John Webster''s new and groundbreaking work on animal welfare. Building on his first book, the highly acclaimed Animal Welfare: A Cool Eye Towards Eden, it not only critically reviews areas of development, but looks to how animal welfare can be improved in the future. Special consideration is given to: Defining animal welfare (''fit and happy'') and establishing a systematic approach for its evaluation (the ''five freedoms''); Providing a sound ethical framework that affords proper respect to animals within the broader context of our duties as citizens to the welTrade Review"Professor Webster remains at all times the epitome of credibility" "The book quickly offers remedies in the form of practical and realistic hope, conveyed with an honest, personal and at times amusing style."

Faithlife Corporation Confronted by Grace
Book SynopsisI found myself joining in his joyful 'Amen!' to all of the promises that we have in Jesus Christ. --Michael HortonIn this rich collection of sermons, John Webster considers the power of the gospel and the truth of God's grace. Born from years of theological and biblical study, these reflections serve to challenge, stimulate, and inspire, demonstrating the grace of God at work in the complexities of life.By pointing us toward Christ, Confronted by Grace helps us grow in our understanding of the truth of the gospel.Trade ReviewIt's one thing to teach the truth, and something else to proclaim it, not only interpreting Scripture but finding yourself and your hearers interpreted by it. That is what happens in reading these sermons: one forgets the preacher and hears Christ. John Webster believes "...that growth in the Christian life is simply growth in seeing that the gospel is true." Reading these sermons, I found myself joining in his joyful "Amen!" to all of the promises that we have in Jesus Christ. What could be more rewarding than that?--Michael Horton, Westminster Seminary CaliforniaI used The Grace of Truth for daily devotions and it was superb. Stimulating and refreshing, it takes the reader to the truth about God and about our human condition. Pastoral, cliche--free and accessible, John Webster's book will be returned to often. I commend it strongly.--Dominic Smart, Gilcomston South Church, Aberdeen, ScotlandJohn Webster displays a great sense of the power of the English language and and an even greater sense of the reliability of Holy Scripture and the power of the gospel. Together these make compelling and inspiring reading.--Graeme Goldsworthy, Moore College, AustraliaSplendid sermons, and not just as models for aspiring preachers! Unobtrusive scholarship, meticulous listening to scripture and close observation of the human predicament combine to give us God's word just where we need it.--Donald Macleod, Free Church of Scotland CollegeThese are sermons of a high order, carefully and constantly attentive to the Biblical text, and alive to the deep realities of human life. The attentive reader will both learn and grow.--Stephen Holmes, University of St. Andrews, ScotlandJohn Webster's work is beautifully written, unfailingly encouraging, and throughly Christ--centered. It is pure gospel--aged and distilled out of years of theological reflection and biblical study. Here indeed is a work that lifts our eyes to the heavens, from whence our help still comes.--Noel Due, Highland Theological College, Scotland, Adelaide College of Ministries, AustraliaThis superb book provides an invaluable opportunity to engage with the preaching of one of the world's leading contemporary evangelical theologians. This should prove of immense interest to lay people, clergy, students and academics alike.--Alan Torrance, University of St. Andrews, ScotlandThese collected sermons from John Webster are rich in biblical content, perceptive in their diagnosis of the human condition, Christ--centered in their focus, and filled with hope through the gospel. Read and savor these sermons that you might repent, believe, and persevere to the glory of Christ!--Steven Roy, Trinity Evangelical Divinity SchoolIt has been said that if all our preachers were theologians and all our theologians were preachers, the church would be in a much healthier condition. How good then to read these sermons from one of our leading British theologians, testimony to the fact that the only theology worth pursuing arises out of the life of the church. John demonstrates that the complexity and depth of his understanding of the grace of God in Christ can be made not only accessible but challenging, stimulating and thrilling.--A.T.B. McGowan, Inverness East Church of Scotland, University of the Highlands and Islands

Book SynopsisA violent tragedy, regarded as one of the great works of Jacobean theatre. Duke Bracciano is besotted by the beautiful Vittoria. When he makes her an indecent proposal she can't refuse, she enlists the help of Flaminio to fool her husband, and begins an illicit affair.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The White Devil
Book SynopsisAdultery, intrigue, murder, revenge: the densely-packed plot of The White Devil touches on topics that are representative of the atmosphere of Jacobean tragedy. Part tragedy, part satire of a corrupt political world, the play explores the relations of the powerful to the disempowered; the opportunities and constraints of women trying to survive in a male-dominated society; the complex distribution of social hierarchy by birth, wealth, gender, race; and the way the skills licensed by the theatre itself – including disguise and both the performance and interpretation of character – become crucial survival skills, in a world of hidden motives and concealed intentions. Now comprehensively re-edited, with an introduction that addresses issues of performance, cultural and historical context, and interpretation, exploring the dark energy that has impelled audiences and scholars to return to this play again and again across four centuries. Arden Early Modern Drama editions offer the best in contemporary scholarship, providing a wealth of helpful and incisive commentary and guiding the reader to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the play.

University Press of America Secularizing the Sacred The Demise of Liturgical
Book SynopsisWestern culture has come to secularize the sacred, while at the same time sacralizing the secular. This book shows the debilitating effects that this paradox has had on the foundations of Christian worship with special reference to the changing worship patterns the Presbyterian Church in Australia.Trade ReviewIt is indeed a great attempt to argue that the epistemology of worship should be grounded not on the model of power and control, but on the model of love and connectedness. The role of theological education is to educate the sense of interconnections with God and nature, the sense of feelings, caring and love and love for humanity. These are the foundational issues needed to be addressed by modern educators. On the whole, the author has done a thorough research, both on the historical understanding of the liturgical minimization process and the discussion of the related theologies and educational theories underlying the issues. -- Peter Tze Ming Ng, China Victory Theological Seminary of Hong KongWell argued and rigorously presented outline of how the foundational elements present in the theological thought and liturgical expression of Calvin has been supplanted by a Zwinglian trend that has become the overarching force in Presbyterianism in New South Wales. This carefully orchestrated and politically engineered reshaping of the epistemology from primary virtues of love and connectedness to a technological, mechanical view based on power and control is forcefully documented. -- Prof. Most Rev. Roger Herft, Archbishop of Perth, AustraliaI was ordained as an Elder of the Presbyterian Church in 1985, after decades in the Methodist tradition, and have been deeply concerned by the progressive minimisation of the liturgical heritage of the Church described and analysed so brilliantly by the authors. I embraced the explicit symbolism and liturgy of my new Church from 1977, which deepened my spiritual understanding and was a defining moment in my Christian journey. I was impressed by the theological application of transformative subjugation and the notion of power and control. The authors insistence on the development of a specific Christian epistemology is critically important and a paradynamic shift which will impact on theological education for decades to come. The profound influence of Scottish Presbyterianism on the development of my own Sydney medical school, and of the current downgrading of the importance of many of their Christian traditions, hallmarks of the school, provide uncomfortable parallels to this narrative. I would commend this book wholeheartedly to anyone who values the legacy of the Church, and can think laterally to the implications for other disciplines facing similar challenges. -- Cojoint Professor Alan D. Hewson, Newcastle UniversityThis work is important because the writer indicates that there is little or no formal attention played to the subject of worship within the Australian Church and this is particularly the case in the Presbyterian tradition. This work therefore fills a gap in the historical literature. -- Professor Stewart Gill, University of QueenslandTable of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1 Socio-political Pattern in Early Presbyterianism in New South Wales Chapter 2 Defining the Practice of Worship in the Presbyterian Church Chapter 3 The Climax of Calvinist Liturgical Development in New South Wales Chapter 4 A Brief History of the Theological Aetiology of Liturgical Minimisation Chapter 5 Minimisation since 1977 in the Presbyterian Church of Australia Chapter 6 Towards an Epistemology of Worship Chapter 7 Towards a Reconstruction of Theological Education Conclusion Bibliography About the Authors

Verlag Peter Lang Cradle to Grave: Municipal Medicine in Interwar
Book SynopsisThe book examines, for the first time in any detail or in any depth, the provision of municipal medicine in interwar England and Wales at both national and local case-study levels. Municipal health care was an important, but historically neglected, part of the British health care system in this period. The book presents conceptual and empirical perspectives on interwar municipal medicine in England. Using a mixture of under-utilised quantitative and archival data, it explores the patterns of local authority medical services at both national and local levels. What emerges is a complex pattern of provision which touched on all areas of healthcare from the ‘cradle to the grave’, but with very different priorities and forms in different places. In turn, this raises important questions about the role of local government in this period before the advent of the National Health Service and thereby the subsequent history of health care in England.Trade Review«This is a well-written and well-referenced book, composed in a spare, economical style. [...] It will remain a key text for historians of local authority health services for many years to come.» (John Welshman, Social History of Medicine 25, 2012/3)Table of ContentsContents: Localist Welfare Systems – Municipal Medicine – National Perspectives – Local Perspectives: Barnsley - Eastbourne - Newport - West Hartlepool.
