The Reign of God constitutes the first detailed and systematic critical engagement with Oliver O'Donovan's political theology. It argues that O'Donovan's theological account of political authority is not tenable on the basis of exegetical and methodological problems. The book goes on to demonstrate a way to refine O'Donovan's theology of political authority by incorporating insights from his earlier work in moral theology. This can provide a ...

Chekhov often said that 'I am a doctor by trade and sometimes I do literary work in my free time.' This claim may be surprising, given his status as a giant of 20th century drama, but Chekhov practiced medicine for most of his life and engaged in humanitarian work which took him away from writing for months. He placed one such trip though, across the unforgiving terrain of Siberia to write about the penal island of Sakhalin, above all others. ...

This volume seeks to explore the intersection of theology, philosophy and the public sphere not by referring the social and political to ethics and deontology as is often the case, but rather to ontology itself, to the very nature of beings. The meaning of history and historicity is most pertinent to this enquiry and is approached here both from the perspective of social reality and from the perspective of ontology. Joining together contributi...

This book is about people who live with Möbius Syndrome, which has as its main feature an absence of movement of the muscles of facial expression from birth.

The former provost of Columbia University explores the vital role of America's research universities as engines of technological and economic growth--and illuminates the urgent need to protect them

Columbia University sociologist Jonathan Cole credits his mother for the reference to Gray's "Elegy" which provides the book's charming title (pun intended) and its leitmotif: while women scientists were clearly discriminated against in the past, the academic community now "distributes its resources and rewards in an equitable fashion, " though the results show some puzzling anomalies. Where residual inequality persists, without doubt, is in r...
