Not a Jew marginally, but centrally In this book, LaCocque presents the case that Jesus was totally and unquestionably a Jew. He lived as a Jew, thought as a Jew, debated as a Jew, acted as a Jew and died as a Jew. He had no intention of creating a new religion; rather, he was a reformer of the Judaism of his day. True, his critique went far beyond an intellectual subversion. In fact, Jesus progressively thought of himself as the “Son of Man” inaugurating the advent of the Kingdom of God on earth. Features: Focused attention given to the historical Jesus and not Christianity or Christology Addresses restricted sources, namely, the Synoptic Gospels Close examination of Jesus’s way of thinking, teaching, and behaving

‘Adult Reactions to Popular Music and Inter-generational Relations in Britain, 1955–1975’ challenges stereotypes concerning a post-war ‘generation gap’, exacerbated by rebellion-inducing popular music styles, by demonstrating the considerable variety which frequently characterized adult responses to the music, whilst also highlighting that the impact of the music on inter-generational relations was more complex than is often assumed. [NP] Utilizing extensive primary evidence, from first-person accounts to newspapers, television programmes, surveys and archive collections, the book adopts a thematic approach, identifying three key arenas of British society in which adult responses to popular music, and the impact of such reactions upon relations between generations, seem particularly revealing and significant. The book examines in detail the place of popular music within family life and Christian churches and their engagement with popular music, particularly within youth clubs. It also explores ‘encounters’ between the worlds of traditional Variety entertainment and popular music while providing broader perspectives on this most dynamic and turbulent of periods.

Most of us believe that somewhere, somehow there must be a unique destiny for our lives. Something more than just eking out an existence. A plan to live out this life we’ve been given … to the full. But unless we really know who we are – how we’ve been wired on the inside; our personality type if you will – then how can we possibly discover what we’re meant to be doing with ourselves; our unique ‘gig’ in life? Berni Dymet + Keith Henry have written a book that’s not only entertaining and easy-to-read, but incredibly insightful and intensely practical. This book is about you, because personality GPS is all about helping you locate your unique Personality Type. But what makes it so wonderfully different, is that it’s been written with a very special purpose in mind: it’s been written so that you can live out your life … to the full. You’ll discover: • how wonderfully different God has made each one of us, • your specific personality type and what that means for your life, • how to uncover the personality types of your family, friends and colleagues, • how to develop richer and more meaningful relationships by knowing yourself and others, and • most importantly, how you can impact this world and discover fulfillment in serving people by being who you were always meant to be.

Can answers to the biggest questions in life be found? Today there are many who are unsure whether there is a creator God, are uncertain about religion and yet instinctively feel that their life has a purpose and that values such as love, truth, honesty, beauty, logic and kindness are real. This book has been written to help such people make sense of their existence and to indicate the types of evidence available to help people find a strong rational faith. “So many people think faith is a feeling or a flight of fantasy, by contrast Cambridge-educated medical surgeon, Dr Bernard Palmer, makes it clear that there is outstanding evidence at the basis of Christian belief. But he does not stop there, he then not only shows what that evidence means for our lives, he also reveals what the reader should do about it. That is the rhythm of this excellent book: the evidence, its meaning and our action, which makes this a profoundly challenging read that appeals to the mind, the heart and the will.” Rico Tice Christianity Explored “I am both delighted and honoured to recommend Bernard Palmer’s new book to you. There are three reasons for this. First, he himself truly believes the things he is asking you to believe. Second, he writes about profound matters in such a way that it is not only easy to follow but it is winsome and appealing. But thirdly, he is offering us ‘Stepping Stones’ to a new life by introducing us to Jesus Christ with compelling reasons to become a believer. And this is the most important thing of all.” Frank Retief Retired presiding bishop of the Reformed Evangelical Church of Southern Africa
