Though countless Christians through the ages have confessed, "I believe in the Holy Spirit," the Spirit has often remained a shadowy figure, relegated to the fringes of many Christians' faith. In some quarters, however, the rise of the charismatic movement has made the Holy Spirit a focus of heated controversy. In this updated edition of his widely popular book, Michael Green traces the doctrine of the Holy Spirit through the Bible, discusses the baptism and gifts of the Spirit, and addresses the dynamic, ongoing work of the Spirit in today's church and world. Enriched by Green's extensive teaching, pastoral, and personal experience, I Believe in the Holy Spirit remains one of the clearest, most balanced books ever written on this subject.

Now a modern classic, Michael Green's Evangelism in the Early Church shows how the first Christians worked to spread the good news to the rest of the world. Studying the New Testament and church fathers, Green explores the earliest methods, motives, and strategies of spreading the good news. He also considers the obstacles to evangelism, using outreach to Gentiles and to Jews as examples of differing contexts for proclamation. Thoroughly informed by primary sources, this book will help contemporary readers learn from the past and renew their own evangelistic vision.

Baptism: The confusion never seems to go away. Some Christians stress baptism as a gateway into the church. Others see it primarily as an individual's testimony to faith and repentance. Still others concentrate on baptism in the spirit. Michael Green attempts to steer a straight, biblical course through the troubled waters of baptism. In seeking common ground among various Christian traditions, he looks first at what Scripture has to say and then assesses the strengths and weaknesses of differing views in that light. While insisting that baptism is not substitute for saving faith, he nevertheless makes a strong case for the practice of infant baptism, confronting head-on common objections to the practice as well as addressing the related problems of confirmation and rebaptism.

These days most people will grant that Jesus Christ was a great teacher who lived in a corner of the old Roman empire. Most also welcome his teachings as a sound basis for civilization. But what difference does that make now? Why has a whole religion been built on this person? What did he actually say and do? And how can we trust the written records about him? This fast-moving, highly readable book introduces Jesus of Nazareth honestly and openly, with no prior knowledge assumed.Michael Green is the highly respected author of more than fifty books. He has been Principal of St. John's College, Nottingham, Rector to St. Aldate's Church Oxford, and Professor of Evangelism and New Testament at Regent College, Vancouver. He now serves as Senior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University.

Recent developments in supersymmetric field theory, string theory, and brane theory have been revolutionary. The main focus of the present volume is developments of M-theory and its applications to superstring theory, quantum gravity, and the theory of elementary particles. Topics included are D-branes, boundary states, and world volume solitons. Anti-De-Sitter quantum field theory is explained, emphasising the way it can enforce the holography principle, together with the relation to black hole physics and the way Branes provide the microscopic interpretation for the entropy of black holes. Developments in D-branes within type-I superstring and related theories are described. There are also possible phenomenological implications of superstring theory that would lie within the range of quantum gravity effects in the future generation of accelerators, around 1 TeV.

Mit eindrucksvollen Bildern dokumentiert dieser Band die Entwicklung gepanzerter Waffen in den bedeutendsten Armeen der Welt.Während des Ersten Weltkriegs sorgten sie bei ihrem ersten Auftauchen in größerem Ausmaß für Entsetzen und Schock beim Gegner: die damals noch Tank genannten Panzer. Bald erkannte man den Wert dieser Kriegsmaschinen und entwickelte sie intensiv weiter. Auch heute noch zählen Panzer zu den wesentlichen Säulen jeder Landstreitmacht.In diesem reich illustrierten Buch wird die Geschichte der Panzer im letzten Jahrhundert nachgezeichnet. Beginnend im Ersten Weltkrieg, werden die wichtigsten Panzer der militärischen Großmächte Deutschland, Frankreich, England, Amerika und Russland vorgestellt. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei reichhaltiges Bildmaterial, angefangen von historischen Schwarz-Weiß-Aufnahmen bis hin zu Farbbildern von Panzern in Museen oder privaten Sammlungen. Einsatzbilder zeigen eindrucksvoll, warum an den Panzern nach wie vor keine Armee der Welt vorbeikommt. So erhält man durch Bilder des britischen Mark I aus dem Jahr 1916, des russischen Amphibien-Kampfpanzers T-37 oder des modernen deutschen Leopard II "in action" eine Vorstellung von der Kampfkraft dieser "Ungetüme". Knappe Texte informieren über die Entwicklung der Panzerwaffe sowie über alle wissenswerten technischen Details und Besonderheiten der jeweiligen Fahrzeuge.Neben den genannten Ländern werden auch Panzer anderer Länder behandelt, darunter die Schweiz, Italien, Israel, die ehemalige Tschechoslowakei, Japan, Australien, Schweden, Südkorea und Kanada.

MILNSBRIDGE DRILL HALL WAR MEMORIAL 1914-1921The Milnsbridge Drill Hall War Memorial was designed and sculpted by George Iredale in 1921. It was unveiled and dedicated on 3rd December, 1921. The memorial tablets were moved from Milnsbridge Drill Hall on its closure in the 1950s and moved to St Pauls Street Drill Hall. As with the 5th Battalion War memorial, already in the Drill Hall it was noted that very little was known about those who were commemorated on the seven stone tablets, even though their Army numbers were shown with their names and initials. However, this did not reduce the complexity of the research and many anomalies cropped up, not helped at all by the random way the names had been added to the tablets at the time it was produced.As with the 5th Battalion War Memorial, some names had been omitted which could or should have been commemorated alongside the 840 original names. There were twenty one names and details of these men are included as an appendix in this book. The Huddersfield Drill Hall Trustees have again approved the commissioning of the addition of these names to appear alongside those of their comrades. This work is to be unveiled and dedicated in December, 2021.It is hoped that the information that has been collected will help the families of the fallen to research their forebears.Lest We Forget.

Moby Dick is an ambitious attempt to reduce the epic novel to a series of quick fire scenes. The Cherry Sisters, a previously undiscovered Chekhov fragment, is a desperately sincere piece with a teary ending (spoiled by a faulty prop that necessitates a standing death). Last Call for Breakfast is an avant garde play shortened because an actor is in the wrong place during a black out. Henry the Tenth (Part Seven) is a rarely performed tragedy with battle scenes that would amaze the bard.

The murder of Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170 is one of the most famous events in English history, creating shock waves which reverberated across Europe. His shrine at Canterbury (destroyed in 1538) became the most famous in Christendom, and after his canonisation the cult of St Thomas of Canterbury was the most important of any English saint. Millions of pilgrims have made the journey to Canterbury Cathedral to visit the shrine and the site of the martyrdom. In modern times his life and death have been celebrated in music, literature, theatre and film. The story of Becket's life and work shows why it has continued to fascinate and enthral across the centuries. A brilliant young man, he studied in London and Paris, and after entering the service of Archbishop Theobald of Canterbury, in Bologna and Auxerre. He accompanied Theobald to Rome to enlist the support of Pope Eugenius III for Henry Plantagenet's claim to the English throne, and after Henry's accession as Henry II in 1154 Thomas became the new king's Chancellor.Becket's relations with Henry deteriorated after 1162, when he unwillingly accepted the position of Archbishop of Canterbury, and championed the rights of the Church in opposition to the wishes of the king. The conflict between the two men reached its tragic climax on the evening of 29th December 1170, when Thomas was murdered by four of Henry's knights in a side chapel of his own cathedral..Here is a popular introduction to the life and work of this important English saint.Michael Green has spent most of his life in Kent, and in retirement took a degree in Social Science at Canterbury Christ Church University College. Married for fifty years and an active member of the Church of St Thomas of Canterbury.

For 50 years, Michael Green's The Art of Coarse Acting has been essential reading for anyone with a passion for theatre. It's an outrageous spoof that punctures pretentiousness, pokes fun at incompetence, revels in disaster and lifts the lid on life backstage.

This book unravels the political developments that made the Civil War unavoidable.
