I never doubted that someday it would happen. It was simply a question of being sensitive to God's timing for such an event. As we look back, we can sense his guidance in every step toward it. I'll never forget the day the Conference opened. As I viewed the scene from the platform, my heart was filled with gratitude to God. The vision he gave me so many years before was being fulfilled in his perfect timing. The Conference was more than a great time of fellowship and worship with fellow-evangelists; it was a period of serious and strategic thinking and praying concerning the completion of the Great Commision. In Amsterdam God enabled us to learn from one another. Many evangelists expressed the hope that some type of brief \"code of standards\" for evangelists could be prepared. A carefully selected international committee was appointed to prepare this. Their final draft -- The Amsterdam Affirmations -- stated briefly but thoroughly the biblical foundation, the task, and the integrity of the evangelist. The participants joined in affirming verbally their commitment to each of the fifteen affirmations. It was suggested that I write an interpretive commentary on The Amsterdam Affirmations. It is my prayer that God will use this commentary to help Christians gain a greater vision for God's work in our world. God has placed us in a unique and opportune period of history. The fields are \"ripe for harvest.\" May we see a renewed dedication in this generation to the priority of evangelism on the part of every child of God. - Billy Graham, on back cover. A commentary on the fifteen Affirmations made by participants at the International Conference for Itenerant Evangelists in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, July 1983.\n\nPublished in: Minneapolis, MN\n\nPhysical description: 131 pages ; 22 cm","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"A preface to morals.","author":"Lippmann, W.","isbn":null,"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Macmillan"},"datePublished":"1960","inLanguage":"English","description":"Published in: New York\n\nPhysical description: viii, 348 p. ; 19 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Black Athena : the Afroasiatic roots of classical civilization \/ Martin Bernal.","author":"Bernal, M.","isbn":"0813512778","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Rutgers University Press"},"datePublished":"1987","inLanguage":"English","description":"V.1. The fabrication of ancient Greece, 1785-1985 -- v. 2. The Archaeological and documentaty evidence -- v. 3. The linguistic evidence. \r\n\"Could Greek philosophy be rooted in Egyptian thought? Is it possible that the Pythagorean theory was conceived on the shores of the Nile and the Euphrates rather than in ancient Greece? Could it be that Western civilization was born on the so-called Dark Continent? For almost two centuries, Western scholars have given little credence to the possibility of such scenarios. In Black Athena, an audacious three-volume series that strikes at the heart of today's most heated culture wars, Martin Bernal challenges Eurocentric attitudes by calling into question two of the longest-established explanations for the origins of classical civilization. The Aryan Model, which is current today, claims that Greek culture arose as the result of the conquest from the north by Indo-European speakers, or \"Aryans,\" of the native \"pre-Hellenes.\" The Ancient Model, which was maintained in Classical Greece, held that the native population of Greece had initially been civilized by Egyptian and Phoenician colonists and that additional Near Eastern culture had been introduced to Greece by Greeks studying in Egypt and Southwest Asia. Moving beyond these prevailing models, Bernal proposes a Revised Ancient Model, which suggests that classical civilization in fact had deep roots in Afroasiatic cultures\"--[Source inconnue].\n\nPublished in: New Brunswick, N.J.\n\nPhysical description: 3 v. : ill., cartes","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Christ and time : the primitive Christian conception of time and history \/ Oscar Cullman ; translated from the German by Floyd V.

This self-styled fly in the buttermilk worked among whites with such skill and grace that they were barely aware of his existence - unless he wanted to get a bank loan or move into their neighborhood. Now, in his lively and optimistic autobiography, he speaks of his resilience throughout a life spent working peacefully but passionately for equality. As. A teenager and young man, Cecil Reed was the black waiter, the short-order cook, the paper carrier, the tap dancer and singer, the carpenter, and the maintenance man who learned to survive in a white society. As an adult in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he inched his way into owning several small businesses, convincing the community to accept him and his family through hard work and creativity. When whites felt besieged by black militants in the sixties, they turned to him for. Less threatening advice and leadership. Reed put away his floor sander and became an inspiring speaker who crisscrossed the country offering solutions to civil rights problems. In 1966, Reed was elected to the Iowa House of Representatives, the first and only black Republican to hold this office. His next major triumph: securing a unanimous vote of approval for the state's fair housing bill. Within a year he was appointed by a Democratic governor to the Iowa Employment. Security Commission, becoming the first black commissioner in America. Thus began a twenty-year career in public service in both state and federal positions that brought him into partnership with the nation's political, economic, and religious leaders. Throughout his sometimes tragic but always hope-filled life, from shoeshine stand to Department of Labor, Cecil Reed has been a quiet, persistent, realistically-within-the-system fighter for justice. Although he epitomizes. The success of his \"get along by getting along\" philosophy, he still confronts racism daily, still feels \"in harm's way,\" still works for equal rights for all. Every reader will appreciate his honest, energizing, pragmatic chronicle of a life before and after the Civil Rights Act.\n\nPublished in: Iowa City\n\nPhysical description: xxi, 184 pages ; 25 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":7,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Helping couples change : a social learning approach to marital therapy \/ Richard B.

Andrew Dell'Olio and Caroline Simon have provided a book that begs to be taught and invites reflection not just about moral theory but about our moral lives.\"--Allen Verhey, Duke Divinity School\" \"\"This is an excellent introductory ethics reader. Selections are wisely chosen with attention paid to both theoretical and applied ethics, classical and contemporary authors, Eastern and Western traditions, and religious and nonreligious perspectives. The well-written introductions to the selections and the helpful study questions will prove useful to both student and instructor.\"--Kelly Clark, Calvin College\" \"As the perfect companion to introduction to ethics courses, Dell'Olio and Simon's reader includes the most influential ethical theories without overwhelming the beginning student. It contains a variety of readings encompassing contemporary and classic philosophers, male and female perspectives of both Western and non-Western ethical traditions, and readings in both theoretical and applied ethics. Introduction to ethics comprises thirty-seven essays divided into nine chapters. The first chapter introduces the nature of moral theory with a brief account of the different moral theories that will follow in the text. Chapters 2 through 8 are each devoted to a particular moral theory with readings that represent the position and those who challenge it, accompanied by an application of the theory to a particular moral problem. Finally, chapter 9 offers readings in practical guidance on \"living a good life.\" Each chapter has a brief introduction that provides an overview of the selection with pointers on what to note as the selection is read and concludes with a series of thought-provoking study questions and a list of further readings, making it easier for students to understand and appreciate their reading.\"--Jacket.\n\nPublished in: Lanham, Md.\n\nPhysical description: xii, 465 pages ; 23 cm.","bookEdition":"Elements of philosophy","offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}}]}
