Selected "Best Books of 2018: Economics" by The Financial TimesIn ...and forgive them their debts, renowned economist Michael Hudson - one of the few who could see the 2008 financial crisis coming - takes us on an epic journey through the economies of ancient civilizations and reveals their relevance for us today. For the past 40 years, in conjunction with Harvard's Peabody Museum, he and his colleagues have documented how interest-bearing debt was invented in Bronze Age Mesopotamia, and then disseminated to the ancient world. What the Bronze Age rulers understood was that avoiding economic instability required regular royal debt cancellations. Professor Hudson documents dozens of these these royal edicts and traces the archeological record and history of debt, and how societies have dealt with (or failed to deal with) the proliferation of debts that cannot be paid - and their consequences. In the pages of ...and forgive them their debts, readers will discover how debt played a central role in shaping ancient societies, and how it continues to shape our world - often destructively.The Big Question: What happens when debts cannot be paid? Will there be a writedown in favor of debtors (as is routinely done for large corporations), or will creditors be allowed to foreclose (as is done to personal debtors and mortgagees), leading to the creditors' political takeover of the economy's assets - and ultimately the government itself? Historically, the remedy of record was the royal Clean Slate proclamation, or biblical Jubilee Year of debt forgiveness.The Real Message of Jesus: Jesus's first sermon announced that he had come to proclaim a Clean Slate debt cancellation (the Jubilee Year), as was first described in the Bible (Leviticus 25), and had been used in Babylonia since Hammurabi's dynasty. This message - more than any other religious claim - is what threatened his enemies, and is why he was put to death. This interpretation has been all but expunged from our contemporary understanding of the phrase, "...and forgive them their debts," in The Lord's Prayer. It has been changed to "...and forgive them their trespasses (or sins)," depending on the particular Christian tradition that influenced the translation from the Greek opheilēma/opheiletēs (debts/debtors).Contrary to the message of Jesus, also found in the Old Testament of Bible and in other ancient texts, debt repayment has become sanctified and mystified as a way of moralizing claims on borrowers, allowing creditor elites and oligarchs the leverage to take over societies and privatize personal and public assets - especially in hard times. Historically, no monarchy or government has survived takeover by creditor elites and oligarchs (viz: Rome). Perhaps most striking is that - according to a nearly complete consensus of Assyriologists and biblical scholars - the Bible is preoccupied with debt forgiveness more than with sin.In a time of increasing economic and political polarization, and a global economy deeper in debt than at the height of the 2008 financial crisis, ...and forgive them their debts documents what individuals, governments and societies can learn from the ancient past for restoring economic and social stability today.

Niveau B1 Englisch-Lektüre aus dem renommierten Verlag für Sprachmagazine Spotlight für Lernende mit erweiterten Grundkenntnissen (Niveau B1): Als Tochter einer deutschen Mutter hätte Dagmar Taylor nicht gedacht, dass das Leben in Deutschland sie so überraschen könnte ... Da lag sie falsch! Die Schottin nimmt ihre Leser mit auf das höchst amüsante Abenteuer, ihre Wahlheimat Deutschland sprachlich und kulturell zu verstehen. Die Lektüre ist mit einem Wendecover und einer vollständigen deutschen Übersetzung ausgestattet: Sie können sie auf Englisch und von der Rückseite aus auf Deutsch lesen.

Das Buch stellt eine zweisprachige (deutsch/engl.) Sammlung von Aufzeichnungen dar, die der deutsche Stimmlehrer Alfred Wolfsohn in mehreren Manuskripten hinterlassen hat. Darin formuliert er seine Erinnerungen an Deutschland in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts aus seiner Sicht eines deutschen Juden. Die Erinnerungen betreffen seine Erfahrungen mit dem Antisemitismus, als Soldat im 1. Weltkrieg und die Zeit im Nationalsozialismus. Wolfsohn emigrierte kurz nach der Reichspogromnacht am 9. November 1938 nach London, wo er bis zu seinem Tod 1962 lebte. Außerdem beschäftigen sich Wolfsohn¿s Aufzeichnungen mit Leben und Werk der deutschen Künstlerin Charlotte Salomon, für die Wolfsohn in Berlin für einige Zeit eine Art Mentor war. Charlotte Salomon wurde mit 26 Jahren von den Nazis in Auschwitz ermordet. Das Buch ist ein Zeitzeugnis von hohem Rang, geschrieben von einem Autor, der in der Lage ist, seine schlimmsten Erfahrungen nicht nur zu beschreiben, sondern auch in einem größeren Zusammenhang zu analysieren. Wolfsohn verbindet einen klaren Blick mit einer durch und durch menschlichen Haltung. Die kommt auch in seinem Ansatz zur Stimmentwicklung zur Geltung, die in diesen Erinnerungen immer wieder aufscheint.

The immortal struggle of good versus evil in a ghostly gothic adventure tale!

Building and maintaining an opening repertoire can be a demanding task - for a start there are an enormous number of different lines to choose from. There's a strong temptation amongst beginners and improving players to opt solely for tricky lines in order to snare unsuspecting opponents, but this approach has only short-term value. As you improve and your opponents become stronger, very often these crafty lines don't stand up to close scrutiny, and suddenly you're back to square one with no suitable opening weapons. In Starting Out: 1 e4! Neil McDonald solves this perennial problem by providing the reader with a strong and trustworthy repertoire with the white pieces based on the popular opening move 1 e4. The recommended lines given here have stood the test of time and are regularly employed by Grandmasters. Reading this book will give you the confidence to play these variations against all strengths of player and provide you with reliable opening armoury for years to come. This book is written in Everyman Chess's distinctive Starting Out style, with plenty of notes, tips and warnings throughout to help the aspiring player. *A Grandmaster-style opening repertoire *Written by a 1 e4 expert *Ideal for improving players English Grandmaster Neil McDonald is an experienced and successful player on the international chess circuit. He is a respected chess coach, who has trained many of England's strongest junior players. McDonald is also a talented chess writer and has many outstanding works to his name. Earlier Everyman Chess books include Concise Chess Openings and Starting Out: The Dutch Defence.

In the Christian Bible, there is a mysterious text in the First Epistle of Peter (1 Peter 3:19) which speaks about "Jesus preaching to the spirits in prison". Traditionally, this text has served as the major scriptural support for the doctrine of Christ's descent into Hades (the so-called descensus ) in Christian theology. Present scholarship, however, has rejected this traditional understanding and tends to detach 1 Peter 3:19 from the descensus . Such a critical judgment, unfortunately, remains insufficiently examined. Indeed, no previous study has specifically focused on how and why 1 Peter 3:19 came to be associated with the descensus in history, nor what bearing the descensus could have on the text of 1 Peter 3:19 itself. Thus, Chi-Kin Lei fills this lacuna by studying 1 Peter's early reception in relation to the descensus, ultimately challenging the current scholarly consensus on this issue.

The Book of Samuel contains some of the most memorable accounts of the Bible: Hannah's prayer for a son and trust in the coming Messiah, God's call to Samuel at night in the tabernacle, the capture of Yahweh's ark, and the death of the high priest Eli. Narratives tell of the anointing of Saul as Israel's first king and his subsequent apostasy, the battle of David and Goliath, the messianic promise of the Son of David who will build God's house, and David's adultery with Bathsheba followed by his confession and absolution by the prophet Nathan. The fifty-five chapters of this single Hebrew book (1 and 2 Samuel in English Bibles) trace Israel's transition from a tribal confederacy designed to live under God's rule to a monarchy established and supported by God. When Israel felt it could no longer defend itself against the Philistines, the nation asked for a king "like all the nations" (1 Samuel 8:5). Their vulnerability was not a sign of God's failure but of Israel's failure. They had abandoned Yahweh for the worship of the gods of the nations who lived in Canaan, and God, in turn, had given them over to the nations. Yet within this book, there is abundant hope. Throughout the narrative of David's life, the promise of the Son of David is proclaimed again and again. As the lowly shepherd from Bethlehem is anointed to be king of Israel, we are given a Christological type that foreshadows the life, ministry, and eternal reign of the crucified and risen Jesus. Even David's notorious sins serve to demonstrate the forgiveness God freely bestows on us through David's Son and Lord. Contains the author's original translation of 1 Samuel, a verse-by-verse analysis of the Hebrew text, and a theological exposition of its message, both in its original setting in ancient Israel and for the church today Provides extensive background information about the history, chronology, geography, archaeology, and culture that is needed to understand this biblical book. Features the best textual readings, discerned by comparing the Hebrew Masoretic Text to other ancient versions, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Greek Septuagint, and Josephus About the Series The Concordia Commentary series is designed to enable pastors, professors, and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the biblical text. This landmark work will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments, interpreting Scripture as a harmonious unity centered in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Every passage bears witness to the Good News that God has reconciled the world to himself through our Lord's life, death, and resurrection. This scholarly commentary series fully affirms the divine inspiration, inerrancy, and authority of Scripture as it emphasizes "that which promotes Christ" in each pericope.
