Описание: For forty years (1880-1920), the now-legendary architectural firm led by Charles Follen McKim, William Rutherford Mead and Stanford White was responsible for many of the finest buildings in America. The Boston Public Library, Pennsylvania Station in New York, and the campus of Columbia University are among the national landmarks designed by these men and their partners, Bert Fenner and William Mitchell Kendall. This anthology of plans, elevations, and details of major works of McKim, Mead, and White is an invaluable reference source and inspiration for the student of architecture. As Allan Greenberg writes in his introduction: "The legacy of McKim, Mead, and White] is so vast that . . . both its outer boundaries and its inner characteristics are only barely discernible. As architects of some of the most important buildings in the history of American architecture, the work of the office of McKim, Mead, and White reached a level of quality which has never been equaled by any large office before or after." Charles Follen McKim cofounded the firm with William Rutherford Mead in 1878, along with his brother-in-law William B. Bigelow. One year later, Bigelow left the firm and was replaced by young Stanford White. Among the commissions that McKim worked on were the Villard Houses, the Boston Public Library, the Chicago World's Fair Columbian Exposition and the Agriculture Building, the Columbia University campus, Symphony Hall in Boston, alterations to the White House, the Pierpont Morgan Library, Pennsylvania Station, and the University Club in New York. Stanford White, who, ironically, had replaced Charles McKim at the firm of Gambrill and Richardson in New York, joined the partnership in September 1879. A young, enthusiastic man who could "draw like a house afire," in the words of McKim, White was responsible for many of the firm's great architectural projects, including Madison Square Garden; the Washington Arch; the Judson Memorial Church; what is now Bronx Community College, and the accompanying Hall of Fame of Great Americans; the Tiffany Building, and the Gorham Building. His life and career ended abruptly at the age of fifty-three, when he was murdered on the roof of Madison Square Garden in a well-publicized shooting incident in 1906.
Описание: "This second edition of the Westminster Dictionary of Theological Terms provides a comprehensive guide to nearly 7,000 theological terms, 1,000 more terms than the first edition. McKim`s succinct definitions cover a broad range of theological studies and related disciplines: contemporary theologies, biblical studies, church history, ethics, feminist theology, global theologies, hermeneutics, liberation theology, liturgy, ministry, philosophy, philosophy of religion, postcolonial theology, social sciences, spiritually, worship, and Protestant, Reformed, and Roman Catholic theologies. This new edition also includes cross-references that link readers to other related terms, commonly used scholarly abbreviations and abbreviations for canonical and deuterocanonical texts, an annotated bibliography, and a new introductory section that groups together terms and concepts, showing where they fit within particular theological categories. No other single volume provides the busy student, and the theologically experienced reader, with such easy access to so many theological definitions. "--

Описание: Architecture, Media and Memory examines the wide range of urban sites impacted by September 11 and its aftermath – from the spontaneous memorials that emerged in Union Square in the hours after the attacks, to the reconstruction at Ground Zero, to vast ongoing landscape urbanism projects beyond. Yet this is not simply a book about post-9/11 architecture. It instead presents 9/11 as a multifaceted case study to explore a discourse on memory and its representation in the built environment. It argues that the reconstruction of New York must be considered in relation to larger issues of urban development, ongoing global conflicts, the rise of digital media, and the culture, philosophy and aesthetics of memory. It shows how understanding architecture in New York post-9/11 requires bringing memory into contact with a complex array of political, economic and social forces. Demonstrating an ability to explain complex philosophical ideas in language that will be accessible to students and researchers alike in architecture, urban studies, cultural studies and memory studies, this book serves as a thought-provoking account of the intertwining of contemporary architecture, media and memory.

Описание: "
"How do we preach in a way that affirms Christian theology while also honoring the insights of other faith traditions?" "How do we preach about and help create genuine Christian community in a social networking culture?" "Questions Preachers Ask" examines many questions that are on the minds of preachers today, questions that focus on how to preach the gospel in a culture where biblical knowledge cannot be presumed and where the Bible is often viewed as untrustworthy. Well-known preachers, scholars, and authors, including Barbara Brown Taylor, Gail O'Day, Anna Carter Florence, Richard Lischer, Cleo LaRue, and Thomas Lynch, provide the answers.
This book, compiled to honor writer, preacher, teacher, and scholar Thomas G. Long at the end of his teaching career, addresses practical questions such as "How do we proclaim the good news to young adults who are on the margins of church or have left it?" and "How do we preach to faith communities that are highly diverse?" Perfect for preachers at any stage of their ministry, these essays offer hope and guidance for handling the difficult task of preaching in today's congregations. "

Описание: This book is for Presbyterians. I hope others besidesPresbyterians will read it, but the book is for Presbyterianswho want to know more about our Christianfaith. I have spent my life in the Presbyterian Church(U.S.A.), so the book is specially written to those peoplein this communion. I offer a look at important theologicalbeliefs we share as Presbyterians and what theycan mean for our lives. We share these beliefs with othersin our Reformed family and with most Christiansthroughout the world.The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is part of theReformed theological tradition. This tradition is rootedin the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation and isassociated with reformers such as Huldrych Zwingli, Heinrich Bullinger, Martin Bucer, and most especially, John Calvin. I have most often quoted Calvin in thesepages. He was a leading voice, and his legacy to usendures. Other voices join the chorus. Presbyterianshave inherited a rich theological heritage. We havemany important theologians and confessional documentswithin our family circle. They speak with differentaccents and emphases, but they witness to aReformed faith with significant theological emphasesthat, historically, have distinguished it from other Reformationtheologies and ecclesiastical traditions aswell as from Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodoxchurch traditions.We are, first of all, Christians--disciples of Jesus Christ. This is ourprimary identity. We express this identity through ourecclesiastical and denominational traditions. Here inthe United States, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) isone Presbyterian denomination. There are others. AllPresbyterians are part of the larger Reformed family, which includes churches that do not have "Presbyterian"as part of their names but that hold Reformedtheological convictions in common with Presbyterians.Some examples are the United Church of Christ, the Reformed Church in America, and the ChristianReformed Church. The Reformed family has manybranches in the United States and throughout theworld. As we reflect theologically in relation to onedenomination, we realize that there is a greater body--and a greater unity--that is represented by the terms"Presbyterian" and "Reformed."This book is meant for those without formal theologicaleducation, as well as seminary students andpastors. Much more documentation could have beenprovided, but I hope this has been written accessiblyand can be read easily. The intention is to take a look atsome important theological themes and how they havebeen understood and emphasized in Reformed andPresbyterian theology. These theological insights guideour churches and affect the whole of the church`s life.The book does not try to prescribe answers to issuesthat the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) faces in thesedays. It does try to provide some foundational understandingsthat can broaden and deepen the faith ofchurch members and provide theological nourishmentfor a Presbyterian faith that lives today.
