"Using the writings of Martin Luther, Michael T. Fieberkorn opens the vice and virtue tradition to the Lutheran audience. Part 1 discusses how Luther reframes vices as unbelief and virtue as part of the Christian's new life in Christ. Part 2 explores the relationship between vice, virtue, and the Ten Commandments and how it plays out in the life of a Christian"--

Tithers tithe by the millions each Sunday. Some have been doing this all their life. But are they doing what they should be doing according to the Word of God? If they understood what the bible says about the use of this Old Testament law in the New Testament Church would they do it? Tithers don't know this is just a religious tradition, who startd it, or why. The only thing they know for sure is that they give ten per cent of their income away each week. They do it because they were told it is what they were supposed to do. People tell people this but you can't find it written in the scriptures of the New Testament. People think this is the right thing to do because this is what they have been taught over many years by those who collect the tithes. But this is not what new testament scripture teaches, far from it. This book reveals the God given biblical facts about the history of the tithe and the so-called new testament tithe. The facts that have been smothered by satanic influence and have become bad religious tradition. It is time tithers knew the facts so they can determine for themselves if it is a NEW TESTAMENT TITHE OR SATANIC TRICK.

Formal categorization of people presents significant challenges. When politics and law become ethnicized, the pivotal question arises: who is who? This problem surfaced in Moravia after the 1905 Settlement. Other countries faced similar dilemmas decades later, during affirmative action implementation. Contemporary Moravians, like Americans or Brazilians later on, possibly grappled with a clash between traditional individual rights and modern collective rights. The critical inquiry: how far can we limit individual rights for collective rights (nation, race, minority)? Moravia, in the early 20th century, served as the first experimental laboratory.

This book is for you; written for both Christian and Jew alike, this compilation provides a modern perspective on rediscovering the Hebraic roots of a Biblically based faith. Dr John A Looper's anthology lays out an overview of the Bible, rightly divided, as God's worldview. Taken from a lifetime love of the Scripture, this framework study can offer several unsung implements of instruction you just think you are familiar with, but you will know by the time you finish just how relevant they are in today's challenging society.

Religious Zionists are an increasingly influential part of Israeli society, and their influence is felt across the societal spectrum. They are a significant force in almost every sector of Israel, including the media and legal, military, and financial spheres. Their growing prominence, however, has created its own set of challenges. Deep ideological disagreements are dividing the Religious Zionist community from within. The political and theological glue that once unified the Religious Zionist world no longer exists, and ideological debates are creating the grounds for a possible political and social split within the Religious Zionist community. What are the larger ideas that are causing this internal tension? Who are the Religious Zionist leaders at the forefront of this divide? Is this a uniquely Israeli phenomenon or are there parallel conflicts in English-speaking Modern Orthodox communities across the globe? Frayed analyzes and discusses these issues. It takes its readers, both religious and secular, on an intellectual journey into the world of Religious Zionism. The book looks at burning issues such as the role of women in Jewish life, the scope of rabbinic authority, and the impact that the disengagement from Gaza has had on the community's relationship to the state. Along the way, readers will get an inside look at the rabbis, politicians, female scholars, yeshivot, seminaries, synagogues, halakhic rulings, and internet forums that are reshaping the face of Religious Zionism.

How do international students and alumni contribute to development in their countries of origin? Is the development effect greatest when students return to their countries of origin directly after completing their studies and become involved locally there, or can they also support the development of their country of origin if they remain abroad after their studies and contribute their knowledge and capital to the development process of their country of origin via transnational networks? Specifically, this question is examined in this publication using the example of the scholarship and alumni work of the Catholic Academic Alien Service (KAAD) in five countries of different developing regions: Georgia, Ghana, Indonesia, Colombia and Palestine.
