Characters in some languages, particularly Hebrew and Arabic, may not display properly due to device limitations. Transliterations of terms appear before the representations in foreign characters. This is an encyclopedic dictionary of close to 400 important philosophical, literary, and political terms and concepts that defy easy—or any—translation from one language and culture to another. Drawn from more than a dozen languages, terms such as Dasein (German), pravda (Russian), saudade (Portuguese), and stato (Italian) are thoroughly examined in all their cross-linguistic and cross-cultural complexities. Spanning the classical, medieval, early modern, modern, and contemporary periods, these are terms that influence thinking across the humanities. The entries, written by more than 150 distinguished scholars, describe the origins and meanings of each term, the history and context of its usage, its translations into other languages, and its use in notable texts. The dictionary also includes essays on the special characteristics of particular languages--English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Originally published in French, this one-of-a-kind reference work is now available in English for the first time, with new contributions from Judith Butler, Daniel Heller-Roazen, Ben Kafka, Kevin McLaughlin, Kenneth Reinhard, Stella Sandford, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Jane Tylus, Anthony Vidler, Susan Wolfson, Robert J.

Whether you have wandered away and lost faith or never embraced real faith in Jesus Christ, this book will bring you new hope. Perhaps, on the other hand, you are praying for loved ones and friends to return or come to faith, this book will inspire you to believe in the god who answers prayer and that "there is always a way back." The casualties of life are everywhere, and deceptions are numerous. Many look back on wrong decisions, hurts, and broken relationships, and the scars and guilt from such things are etched into their hearts, leaving them with regrets that may have haunted them for years. The pull of a world system constantly seeks to take people as far away from God as possible and then leaves them wondering if there is any way back to real faith, peace, and hope. This book will bring you face-to-face with the truth that no matter what has transpired in your life, "there is always a way back." My challenge to you is to be prepared to take the journey this book sets before you and to seriously consider the truth Jesus taught as he told a simple story one day in order to illustrate the heart of his loving heavenly Father who is full of grace and truth and is always waiting to welcome home those who have wandered away. Whatever has transpired in your journey of life, no one is too far away that the grace and forgiveness of God cannot reach and restore. It's time to come home. Your heavenly Father is waiting, and everything is prepared because "there is always a way back." At the back of this book is the added bonus of questions for discussion on each of the nineteen chapters, which can be used in small groups. May you be blessed and encouraged as you read There Is Always a Way Back.
