Wasserstoff für zukünftige thermische Motoren
Deutsch | 2025 | ISBN: 3031763793 | 650 Pages | PDF (True) | 53 MB
Wasserstoff, ein seit langem etablierter Energieträger, wurde über Jahrhunderte in Verbrennungsmotoren eingesetzt. Trotz Fortschritten und dem Interesse der Industrie hat die Massenproduktion von Wasserstoffmotoren jedoch noch nicht stattgefunden. Angesichts der jüngsten Bemühungen, den Klimawandel mit sauberer Energie und umweltfreundlichen Technologien zu bekämpfen, gewinnt der Einsatz von Wasserstoff in thermischen Motoren an Bedeutung.
Terje Oestigaard, "Water, Christianity and the Rise of Capitalism"
English | ISBN: 1780760663 | 2013 | 224 pages | PDF | 26 MB
The Christian religion is deeply imbued with the imagery of water, and water plays a central role in its religious practices, not least in baptism. Yet the wider role of water in Christianity has been little explored. In this pioneering book, Terje Oestigaard uses the dramatic changes that took place in perceptions of water during the Reformation to reveal the importance that water played in structuring society and religion in the post-Reformation period. Prior to the Reformation, most common people believed misfortune and catastrophe were caused by the devil, and sought protection in the use of holy water blessed by the local priest. Holy water and holy wells gave laypeople a powerful weapon which could be used to keep the devil away, cure illness and protect fields, property and family. But with the Reformation, the nature of holy water was challenged and belief in the efficacy of holy water and holy wells was attacked as Popish magic and superstition: the status of holy water became one of the main battlegrounds between Protestants and Catholics. The author explores these conflicting views on the spiritual qualities of water and their consequences for society at large.
He traces the changing views of nature that arose with Enlightenment developments in the scientific understanding of water and the hydrological cycle, and shows how the emergence of a natural theology helped encourage a belief in the Protestant work ethic whereby wealth and economic success equated with religious excellence. The author concludes by examining - and challenging - Weber's claim that the protestant work ethic and capitalist spirit of enterprise that was so important to the later success of the Industrial Revolution came about when magic and superstition were eliminated from religion by the Reformation. The result is a highly original work that provides one of the most detailed explorations of the importance of the role of water in structuring society and religion in post-Reformation England. Offering fresh insights into the development of society and religion, it will be welcomed by all those with an interest in water, religion, sociology, and the Reformation period.

We Are Catholic Catholic, Catholicity, and Catholicization
Jason Valeriano Hallig, "We Are Catholic: Catholic, Catholicity, and Catholicization"
English | ISBN: 1498289452 | 2016 | 200 pages | EPUB | 925 KB
What is a church? What makes a church a church? What is necessary to have a church? Is membership in a local church really that important? Might a group of people who claim to be Christians become so unlike what a church should be that they should no longer be called a church? Why are there so many churches of different traditions? What is tradition? Are the historical traditions of the church still relevant today? These and many others are questions related to the life and purpose of the church, which every Christian must wrestle with not only for themselves, as disciples of Jesus, but also for others to whom they are called to make disciples. One of the early confessions of the Christian church centers on the catholicity of the church-"we believe in the holy Catholic Church." It was Ignatius who first used the word catholic and rightly identified the church as the Catholic Church: "Where Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church." This book offers a fresh look at this important mark of the church from an evangelical perspective, and seeks to elucidate the life (being) and purpose (doing) of the church. The author believes that "catholicity is to the church as the Trinity is to God." "We are Catholic" is a confession of our faith in Christ, our commitment to the unity of the church (local and universal)-anchored in the Word and in the Spirit-and our passion for the mission to all the nations as a community of disciples of Jesus Christ.
Steve Shores, "We Hate to Wait: Shedding Our Harried Self-Love "
English | ISBN: 1666790540 | 2022 | 102 pages | EPUB | 499 KB
It seems that the only time we're not hurrying is when we're rushing. By the time we heed the calls of smartphones, iPods, iPads, emails, podcasts, downloads, app shopping, YouTubing, web browsing, posting, and responding to posts, we've ridden the amped-up hurry-train so far that we're lost. In fact, the last items in our list ("posting and responding to posts") sound so much like "marrying and giving in marriage" that we might well conclude that we are wedded to whipped-up drivenness. We need a fast from going fast. The gospel of Christ calls us to rest, but learning how takes time. We're invited to ease off the hurry-train and learn the pace of waiting. But waiting for what? To become a bit more like Jesus, who lived at a breathtakingly still point before the one who sent him.
We've Lost. What Now Practical Counsel from the Book of Daniel
Wayne Baxter, "We've Lost. What Now?: Practical Counsel from the Book of Daniel"
English | ISBN: 162564776X | 2015 | 158 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Is the church of the twenty-first century supposed to regain its former glory, or is it too late? Are the people of God in exile yet again? Have we lost our cultural footing and are now in desperate need to find a new way for the present millennium? Daniel was born into a nation of God-fearers, where the Scriptures were embraced and biblical values espoused. But that all changed with the Babylonian exile. Daniel's God, his values, and his faith had become irrelevant and even despised in his society. With the erosion of Christendom, Daniel's story has become the church's story! We've Lost. What Now? offers a clear, insightful, and relevant exposition of Daniel in order to empower believers to minister more effectively than ever before from the social and cultural margins the church now inhabits.
Wealth and the Built Environment
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031819535 | 258 Pages | PDF (True) | 28 MB
The need to address global environmental problems is urgent. The United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) cover a wide range of global concerns, from poverty, hunger, and gender equity to justice and climate action. Concerningly, the SDGs still have faith in economic growth and technological innovation as the means of fixing all global concerns, including climate change. What is not questioned is whether solving development and sustainability problems through economic growth for the accumulation of wealth for the few has led to many of the current unequal development and environmental problems. If unfair growth and wealth accumulation have been part of the problem, how can they be part of the solution? The problem with the SDGs is that their fulfilment relies on wealth creation without the fundamental concomitant of wealth redistribution. The one common driver of change affecting both sustainability and development that has not been included in the SDGs is wealth, the central focus of this book.

Weaving Hope The Religious of Jesus and Mary in the United States, 1877-2017
Janice Farnham, "Weaving Hope: The Religious of Jesus and Mary in the United States, 1877-2017"
English | ISBN: 1725276534 | 2020 | 398 pages | EPUB | 13 MB
Weaving Hope is a narrative history of one group of Catholic women religious in the United States. From Quebec, Canada, in 1877 the Religious of Jesus and Mary arrived as missionaries to teach children of French-Canadian immigrants in textile industries of New England. Their ministry spread to New York, Maryland, the South, and the West. Primarily educators, they directed academies and parish schools. In the South and Southwest, they added pastoral outreach to their educational ministry. With few resources, the sisters overcame diverse challenges to create a network of service from coast to coast. This book presents the challenges they faced from local hierarchy and clergy, as well as ethnic prejudices, language difficulties, classism, and financial insecurity. Their faith and bold courage are displayed in this vibrant tapestry of a small but significant piece of women's history in our nation.

Welcome to the One Great Story! Tracing the Biblical Narrative from Genesis to Rev...
George B Thompson, "Welcome to the One Great Story!: Tracing the Biblical Narrative from Genesis to Revelation"
English | ISBN: 1725277301 | 2020 | 248 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
The Bible is not easy to figure out! Churches are filled with adults who are too embarrassed to admit their sketchy knowledge, and jumbled impressions, of biblical material. Even seminary-trained pastors struggle to get a handle on the flow of the Scriptures from beginning to end. No wonder so many people give up on the Bible-and even the church. This book claims that what gives the Bible its overarching integrity and lasting value is a narrative, a storyline. Readers who approach the Bible with narrative in mind will discover from Genesis to Revelation a story that begins at a certain point, establishes a theme; develops, continues, and adapts that theme; and reaches a resolution (of sorts!). Rather than a book-by-book treatment of the Bible, this book identifies and traces a Story that stretches across the corpus of the canon, a Story in which divine promise and human response constantly define each episode. Text boxes, reflection questions, chapter questions, and activities encourage the reader to engage with content at more than one level all along the way. Engaging with the Bible can become exhilarating and gratifying!

Weltanschauung and Apologia A Study in C. S. Lewis
Elias Hofer, "Weltanschauung and Apologia: A Study in C. S. Lewis"
English | ISBN: 1666739537 | 2022 | 278 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
This book allows us to accompany C. S. Lewis on his intellectual and spiritual journey from atheism to pantheism and eventually to Christianity. It analyzes key elements of Lewis's Christian worldview and identifies challenges leveled against it from alternative worldviews. It examines Lewis's apologetic methodology, highlighting how it was shaped by his worldview, and provides an analysis of Lewis's specific responses to a number of objections. The project also serves as a comparative analysis of worldviews, particularly as they relate to truth claims of the Christian faith. The notion of worldview is critical to the formulation of views. One's worldview determines how reality is perceived. It's characterized as a set of glasses through which we view our surroundings and interpret experiences. It accounts for the perspective we bring to every event in life and helps explain why different people "see" things differently when looking at the same data. The same evidence may lead one person to reject a particular conclusion, while moving another to embrace what the other rejected. Lewis's major works are explored at length in this book. Although much has been written about Lewis, Hofer's examination of the influence of worldview on his work is unique.
Weltraum wird Lebensraum Eine Siedlung auf dem Mars
Weltraum wird Lebensraum: Eine Siedlung auf dem Mars
Deutsch | 2025 | ISBN: 3658467576 | 124 Pages | PDF (True) | 13 MB
Extremwetter, Überbevölkerung, Naturzerstörung: Zukunftsszenarien, die den Planeten Erde als unbewohnbar erscheinen lassen sind nicht länger nur noch Material für Science-Fiction-Romane. Welche Optionen bleiben der Menschheit, wenn sie sich ihrer eigenen Lebensgrundlage beraubt hat? Ist ein Szenario, in dem wir uns einen neuen Heimatplaneten erschließen, konkret umsetzbar oder ein reines Fantasiegespinst? In dem vorliegenden Buch geht es darum, den Mars auf seine Eignung für eine menschliche Besiedlung hin zu untersuchen. Insbesondere die ganz konkrete Frage, ob die Errichtung von Habitaten auf dem Mars möglich wäre, steht im Vordergrund. Um diese Frage zu beantworten, werden die geologischen wie auch die natürlichen Bedingungen analysiert und es wird aufgezeigt, welche Konsequenzen diese für etwaige Bauvorhaben auf dem Mars haben. Außerdem wird unter Bezug auf bereits erfolgte Experimente und Expeditionen erörtert, welche Eigenschaften ein Habitat erfüllen muss, damit der Mensch langfristig ein gutes Leben außerhalb der Erde führen kann. Die Überlegungen fließen zusammen in einem eigenen Entwurf einer Marskolonie, wie sie sich konkret umsetzen ließe. Das Buch bietet einen Überblick über die einschlägigen Überlegungen zu einer potentiellen Kolonisierung des Mars und eignet sich damit als lockerer Einstieg in dieses komplexe Thema. Anschauliche Illustrationen beflügeln die Fantasie und machen deutlich, dass die Besiedelung des Mars nicht nur eine Angelegenheit für Romanciers, sondern auch für Architekt:innen und andere Visionäre ist.

What Christ Said Revisiting the Countercultural Sayings of Christ Jesus
Isaac Portilla, "What Christ Said: Revisiting the Countercultural Sayings of Christ Jesus"
English | ISBN: 1532694962 | 2022 | 146 pages | EPUB | 1141 KB
Relevant to nonconformist Christians, this book explores the transformative and often overlooked implications of Christ's teachings. The author shows the possibility to still be surprised by the sayings of Christ-to rediscover "the Way" as a liberating path toward freedom. What Christ Said delivers an absorbing experience, rich in unexpected turns and insights to ponder and meditate into. Taking the New Testament text as the raw material, the author builds a coherent picture of Christ's Way in which themes such as Fire, Life, Light, and Consciousness take the central stage. This work also offers a very personal contribution to scholarship: a provocative hermeneutics focused on truth and freedom, echoing the efforts of the apostles, early Christians, the fathers, and the mystics to reconcile the sayings of Jesus with their own experience-mystical and worldly. Infused with poetry and mysticism, yet without compromising theological and intellectual rigor, each chapter makes the reader a participant in explorations evocative of a Christ-like apprehension of life and reality. This inquiry reflects mental and emotional patterns that keep us bound, at the same time providing a path through which the Christian Way could be inspiring-in an original and sometimes radical manner.
What Happened on the Cross Forgiveness Not Punishment
Nick Peros, "What Happened on the Cross: Forgiveness Not Punishment"
English | ISBN: 1725263637 | 2020 | 332 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
What Happened on the Cross offers a new and biblical understanding of how salvation was accomplished upon the cross, showing that the Penal Substitution view, common since the 1500s, does not have a biblical basis, and also showing that the Christus Victor understanding is inadequate. The book is founded upon the understanding that Jesus Christ is the Second Adam, and that is the foundation of how we are to understand how salvation was accomplished. Both the shedding of blood and death were essential in the accomplishment of salvation, and What Happened on the Cross shows why these were essential. Using over 740 Scripture verses to make its argument, the book gives a comprehensive picture from Genesis to Revelation of the many aspects involved in the accomplishment of salvation-above all showing clearly that the cross had nothing to do with "punishment for sins"-our sins were never punished upon the cross, rather, our sins were forgiven. Understanding how salvation was accomplished upon the cross, and that it was about forgiveness, not punishment, both exalts God and his greatness, demonstrates his perfect love and justice, as well as liberates our hearts towards him.
What Happens Next More Sermons for the Lectionary, Year B, Advent Through Eastertide
Bruce L Taylor, "What Happens Next?: More Sermons for the Lectionary, Year B, Advent Through Eastertide"
English | ISBN: 1666766151 | 2023 | 218 pages | EPUB | 1068 KB
Bruce Taylor's latest volume of sermons for the Common Lectionary (Revised) compiles traditional and story form proclamations for the Sundays and feast days from Advent through Eastertide in Year B of the three-year lectionary cycle. Theologically rich, sacramentally sensitive, and ecumenically minded, these biblically centered sermons articulate God's love for the whole creation, the profound implications of discipleship, and the necessity of Christian unity. Like its predecessors in Taylor's first and second journeys through the lectionary, What Happens Next? is intended for use by preachers, educators, seminary students, and devotional readers, who will all find it to be a welcome companion in penetrating the spiritual genius of the liturgical year and the usefulness of preaching from common texts. The book exemplifies how preaching from Mark's Gospel and the accompanying lectionary readings can shape interaction with the elements of the liturgy to encourage faithful Christian worship. The very uniqueness of Mark among the Gospels is elicited to prompt the whole church and each believer to respond to the question posed implicitly but insistently by the women's discovery of the empty tomb on Easter morning: What happens next?
What Has Religion Studies in Africa Been Up To Relevant Themes and Topics
Jaco Beyers, "What Has Religion Studies in Africa Been Up To?: Relevant Themes and Topics"
English | ISBN: 153266804X | 2023 | 292 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
The purpose of the book is to provide a collection of perspectives from various parts of Africa on what scholars in religion studies are currently engaged with, whether it refers to topics or methodology. Each chapter is written from the perspective of a scholar working within a particular context on a particular theme or topic related to religion studies. Several methodologies have been implemented in each contribution to the book. Each contribution applies a different methodology for the purpose of investigating a specific topic or research theme. In general, the majority of the contributions follow a method of critical literature review as applied to a specific field. The book is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of all possible topics and themes addressed in current research in Africa. From a decolonized perspective, the book gives voice to African scholars who exhibit their scholarly work as related to religion studies. Topics addressed include curriculum design and pedagogical approaches in teaching religion studies, the relation between religion and culture in an African context, religion and health, religion and gender, interreligious relations in Africa, religion and ecology, and religion and mission.
