Imprint: London, SCM Press, 1970 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine very clean, tight and unmarked copy which has a little foxing to top edge with near Fine dustjacket. Translated from the German by R.A. Wilson. Uniform with the Library of Philosophy and Theology Series. Friedrich Gogarten, who died in 1967, was one of a most distinguished generation of German philosophers and theologians which included, among others, Karl Barth, Rudolf Bultmann, Paul Tillich and Karl Jaspers. This was his last full length book, published in his eightieth year, and represents a summary of his life's work in philosophy, systematic theology and exegesis, centring on the two questions which still occupy Christians as they always have done: 'Who was the man Jesus?', and 'Who is Christ for us today?'. The writings of the most important German theologians, Althaus, Bultmann, Kasemann, Bornkamm, Fuchs, Ebeling, are discussed, but the importance of the book is Gogarten's own contribution. **** NOT EX LIB **** R1.

In 1973 in Aberdeen, Scotland, a young man, John Hughes and an old man, Hans Kosterlitz, began the most exciting adventure of their lives, one that would dramatically alter humankind's understanding of the brain. They were looking for naturally occurring substances within the body that resembled drugs derived from the opium poppy, a natural morphine that would unlock not just the secrets of physical pain and pleasure, but would open the way to understanding how the brain orchestrates the symphony of human emotions. Their discovery was the 'endorphins', the body's natural painkillers. C3A. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: Very Good Stock number: 003121. ISBN: 0553052616

Imprint: Stroud, Gloucestershie, Sutton Publishing, 1997 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. xii + 209 pages. 57 illustrations. Foreword by The Rev. Lord Soper. During the First and Second World Wars thousands of men and women followed the promptings of their conscience and refused the call to arms. Reviled, starved and beaten, theirs was a battle of conscience. They came from all classes and backgrounds, from apprentice piano-maker Alfred Evans to composer Michael Tippett, cavalry officer turned anarchist David Spreckley and Paul Eddington. In the First World War 73 conscientious objectors died as a result of their treatment, hundreds were imprisoned, and a mere handful were given exemption. During the Second World War many more conscientious objectors were given exemption, some on condition that another sort of war service was performed. This was not acceptable to all conscientious objectors, and men like Leonard Bird were prepared to go to prison - in his case three times- rather than compromise their beliefs. 23.

Imprint: London, SPCK, 1961 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy with VG dustjacket. ix + 134 pages. In this study of the early patristic treatment of the life of Jesus Dr. Grant points out that historical criticism is not an invention of modern scholarship. An examination of the exegetical works of Origen and his predecessors reveals an awareness in their authors of the historical problems presented by the four Gospels. In attempts to solve these problems the early Christian commentators often borrowed their methods and techniques from contemporary pagan writers. Dr. Grant considers these methods in a valuable chapter on Greek literary and historical criticism. His findings enable him to bear in his detailed and critical examination of the achievements of the Fathers, and of Origen in particular, in their interpretation of the life of Jesus. **** NOT EX LIB **** R1.
