Doran works out a starting point for a contemporary theology of history and proposes a new application of the 'psychological analogy' for understanding the Christian doctrine of the Trinity.
In this challenging work Robert M. Doran explores the basis of systematic theology in consciousness, and goes on to consider the practical role of such theology in establishing and fostering communities with an authentic way of life.
A new and wide-ranging collection of essays by leading international scholars, exploring the concept and practices of virtuosity in Franz Liszt and his contemporaries.
This book gives an account of two celebrated theorems of Gelfand and Naimark for commutative C*-algebras, their tangled history, generalizations and applications, in a form accessible to mathematicians working in various applied fields, and also to students of pure and applied mathematics.
This book explores how early Christian intellectuals expressed their understanding of the cosmos. It reviews the role of women, documentation of the vitality and influence of Jewish intellectual thought, and the continuing impact of Greek intellectual thought during Christianity's formative years.
The second volume of Robert M. Doran’s magisterial The Trinity in History continues his exploration of the Trinitarian theology of Bernard Lonergan, focusing now on the notions of relations and persons and connecting the systematic proposals with the so-called "Third Quest for the Historical Jesus." Doran not only interprets Lonergan’s major work in Trinitarian theology and Christology but also suggests at least a twofold advance: a new versio...
This work first addresses the unity of 2 Maccabees, arguing that the epitome is a unified piece, separate from the prefixed letters. The author then explores the syntax and style of the epitome, noting rhetorical features and arguing that the work uses a nicety of syntax associated with classical, literary writers. The analysis of the narrative reveals a three-fold structure: a) 2 Maccabees 3 - the attack of Heliodorus, b) 2 Macc 4:1 - 10:9 - ...
Contains the proceedings of an AMS Special Session held at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Antonio in January 1993 to celebrate the first fifty years of $C^*$-algebra theory. This book covers a spectrum of topics, including the Gelfand-Neumark theorems, $C^*$-algebras and quantization and projections in $C^*$-algebras.
The papers in this volume present a broad picture of the current state of the art in $p$-adic harmonic analysis. The concepts are liberally illustrated with examples, usually appropriate for an upper-level graduate student in representation theory or number theory. The concrete case of the two-by-two special linear group is a constant touchstone.
Containing the proceedings of an NSF-CBMS Conference, the topics examined in this volume include recent results on D-brane charges in $K$-homology and twisted $K$-homology, Yang-Mills gauge theory and connections with non-commutative geometry, and Landau-Ginzburg models, $C^*$-algebraic non-commutative geometry and ties to quantum physics and topology.
This book gives an account of two celebrated theorems of Gelfand and Naimark for commutative C*-algebras, their tangled history, generalizations and applications, in a form accessible to mathematicians working in various applied fields, and also to students of pure and applied mathematics.
Contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session "Operator Algebras and Their Applications: A Tribute to Richard V. Kadison”, held in January 2015. Among the topics addressed are the Kadison-Kaplanksy conjecture, classification of $C^*$-algebras, connections between operator spaces and parabolic induction, spectral flow, $C^*$-algebra actions, von Neumann algebras, and applications to mathematical physics.
