      The book explores the theological and political divides among Christians, focusing on two social science models: Nurturant and Authoritative. Nurturants emphasize empathy and cooperation, while Authoritatives prioritize obedience and law. These differing core values shape distinct views on issues like atonement, salvation, and social policies. Highlighting Jesus as a model of the Nurturant way, the text argues that this approach fosters better mental and spiritual health and creates stronger communities, contrasting it with the historical competition of these two perspectives.

      A comprehensive introduction to film history, The Film Genre Book allows the reader to create their own narrative of film through history by focusing on seven genres, highlighting a key film from each genre over a ninety-year period-sixty-three films discussed in detail. The reader can trace the developments in a particular genre over time or compare films in a particular decade from the different genres. Each case-study considers issues of historical context, representation and the close textual analysis of significant scenes. Analysing films as diverse as Bambi and Pan's Labyrinth, the book immerses its reader into the full range of film experience. Its breadth of study, and the way in which it bridges the gap between commercial film guides and academic studies, makes it invaluable to teacher, student, and cineaste alike.

    • Das hektische Leben, das wir führen, steht einer besseren Beziehung zu Gott entgegen. Einige Christen wünschen sich, eine besondere Beziehung zu Gott zu entwickeln, die andere Christen bereits genießen. Aber wie gelingt das? J. Oswald Sanders zeigt uns anhand der Bibel, dass wir die Tiefe unserer Beziehung zu Gott selbst bestimmen und lehrt uns, wie wir uns unserem Schöpfer noch näherkommen können.
