    The Future of Open Theism
    • Open theism has reached its adolescence. How did it get here? And where does it go from here? Since IVP's publication of The Openness of God in 1994, evangelical theology has grappled with the alternative vision of the doctrine of God that open theism offers. Responding to critics who claim that it proposes a truncated version of God that fails to account for Scripture and denies many of the traditional attributes of God, open theism's proponents contend that its view of God is not only biblically warranted but also more accurate--with a portrayal of God that emphasizes divine love for humanity and responsiveness to human free will. No matter what one's assessment, open theism inarguably has made a significant impact on recent theological discourse. Now, twenty-five years later, Richard Rice recounts in this volume the history of open theism from its antecedents and early developments to its more recent and varied expressions. He then considers different directions that open theism might continue to develop in relation to several primary doctrines of the Christian faith.

      Z obalu knihy: Druhý diel tarzanovského seriálu je pokračovaním Tarzanových dobrodružstiev a príbehu o jeho láske k Jane, ktorej sa šľachetne vzdal a usiluje sa na ňu zabudnúť. Náhoda ho privedie z civilizovaného sveta znova do rodnej džungle, kde sa stane náčelníkom domorodého kmeňa. Podnikne výpravu do tajomného polozboreného mesta a ocitne sa v zajatí jeho strašných obyvateľov... Ani Jane nežije pokojne a šťastne. Pod rozličnými zámienkami donekonečna odkladá svoj sobáš, na priateľovej jachte podnikne plavbu okolo Afriky a po stroskotaní div neumrie od hladu a smädu v záchrannom člne... Kto hľadá v knihe vzrušenie, exotiku a dej bohatý na nečakané dobrodružstvá, toho Tarzanov návrat iste nesklame a rád potom siahne aj po ďalšom zväzku, ktorý vyjde pod názvom Tarzanove šelmy.

      Tarzanov návrat
    • Que Gaya s'apprête à en épouser un autre, Francis, son ami d'enfance et amoureux d'occasion, aurait peut-être pu l'admettre à la rigueur. Mais que le fiancé lui fournisse de la drogue, non ! Surtout qu'il appartient à une drôle de bande, ce fiancé. Et qu'en plus il n'aime pas les filles. Et là, ça devient carrément louche. Parce qu'elle est d'une famille très riche, la petite Gaya. Alors il fonce, Francis. Beaucoup de bagarres, pas mal de sexe, quelques morts. Il faut ce qu'il faut : sans ça, elles se rendent pas compte ! Un " Vernon Sullivan " percutant, qui classe sans conteste Boris Vian parmi les classiques du polar noir.
