Melanchton fue un reformador brillante y enigm tico que dio forma a la teolog a luterana. Aunque a menudo se considera un enigma dentro de la Reforma protestante, Felipe Melanchthon fue una figura clave en el desarrollo de la teolog a reformada del siglo XVI. Mientras algunos lo acusa de sinergismo, tambi n es el autor de una de las doctrinas m s importantes del luteranismo: la justificaci n forense por la fe sola. Melanchton, conocido como el "protector del protestantismo alem n", fue el amigo y colaborador m s cercano de Mart n Lutero. Aunque no era un te logo de profesi n, ni por formaci n acad mica, su impacto fue gigantesco. Formado como humanista renacentista, fue un maestro del griego, poeta en neo-lat n, autor de manuales escolares y uno de los principales eruditos en lenguas cl scias de su tiempo. Su legado en la Reforma luterana es incuestionable y marc un antes y un despu s en la historia de la iglesia. En esta biograf a breve y accesible, el Dr. Scott Keith nos ofrece una excelente introducci n a la vida, pensamiento y obra de Melanchthon. Su estilo claro y bien documentado ayuda a contextualizar sy importancia dentro del movimiento reformador y permite que Melanchthon hable por si mismo gracias a nuevas traducciones de sus escritos m s representativos. Esta es una lectura imprescindible para quienes desean comprender las ra ces de la teolog a protestante, el papel de los grandes reformadores, y el verdadero alcance del pensamiento luterano en la historia del cristianismo.

Every person is born with a deep longing for a father. Being Dad deals with the way fathers, and the subject of biblical fatherhood, are treated in modern culture. Dr. Keith brings his experience with family, students, great mentors, and friends to bear on a subject that is crying out for attention. Equally, he brings his Christian faith, a scholarly eye for detail, and an ear for story along on the journey and works with the reader to navigate a path to a better country where the Father blesses His children and is honored. Forgiven fathers are a gift from God, for they have the gospel to proclaim to their families. This approach leads to gracious fathers that can now display a shadow of the love of their Heavenly Father so that children may be drawn into saving faith.

Most scholars consider Melanchthon to be a Reformation enigma. He, the developer of the Reformation doctrine of forensic justification, is contrarily condemned as a synergist. Known well as the Protestant preceptor of Germany, he was Martin Luther's lifelong friend, colleague, teacher of Greek, and fellow reformer. Upon arriving at Wittenberg, Melanchthon was a theologian neither by trade nor by training. He was a classically trained expert in classical languages, neo-Latin poet, textbook author, Greek scholar, humanist, and above all, an educatorThough he was offered a doctorate on several occasions, he was not a doctor of theology. Yet his influence on the protestant reformation of the 16th century is profound, both through the Loci Communes (the first Lutheran systematic theology) and the Augsburg Confession both of which came from his pen. Dr. Scott Keith, who has spent much time studying and translating this great reformer, has written this short biography by way of introduction. Also, Melanchthon speaks for himself in fresh translations of his work.

The probability of attaining life-time financial success among middle income families and individuals ranges from being extremely challenging to virtually impossible. Why this is true has not been adequately explained. "Swindling Middle-America" thoroughly examines the issues related to this worsening situation, while exposing the largest obstacle to achievement of financial success by the middle class -- the various government entities of the Unites States. The book's analytically supported conclusions will permit the reader to fully understand the lack of opportunity afforded the average American in their search for long-term financial security. Importantly, the book transitions from "problem" to "solution" by conducting an examination of how the United States should proceed to change its political process to return the prospect for meaningful financial development to the average citizen.

Rocky & Bullwinkle. Peabody and Sherman. Dudley Do-Right. George of the Jungle. Boris and Natasha. These cultural icons emerged fully-formed from the wittiest, most irreverent and shamelessly subversive cartoons ever, The Rocky and Bullwinkle show. The first cartoon to reach both kids and adults with its humour, the show has millions of diehard fans. For the first time, read the fascinating behind-the-scenes history of the show's creation, the fierce script battles fought with network censors, the impact of the show on 1960's culture, and the notorious episode when America's favourite moose convinced 20,000 children to rip the knobs off their TVs because "That way, we'll be sure to be with you next week!".
