The first millennium was a struggle for survival and equally a struggle in beliefoxfam books & music lichfield how did a new belief move from the backwaters of oppressed galilee to centres around the mediterranean, across europe and to britain? why did the brutal romans turn christianity into a state religion? did the heathen saxons accept the faith earlier than is thought? how did the native celts assimilate the roman church? what happened to the church with the interference of kings and the invasion of vikings? acceptance of christ's resurrection changed the lives of emperors, kings, bishops, abbots and people, sometimes for good and occasionally with dreadful consequencesprogression of christianity was never inevitableit recounts the development of our nationhood, culture and religious foundationsee oxfam website for delivery information read morethis book retells and updates this history of a dark age sometimes receiving christian light using new archaeological discovery and interpretation

Oxfam bookshop preston what does reality encompass? is reality exclusively physical? or does reality include nonphysical -mental, and perhaps 'abstract' -aspects? what is it to be physical or mental, or to be an abstract entity? what are the elements of being, reality's raw materials? how is the manifest image we inherit from our culture and refine in the special sciences related to the scientific image as we have it in fundamental physics? can physics be understood as providing a 'theory of everything', or do the various sciences make up a hierarchy corresponding to autonomous levels of reality? is our conscious human perspective on the universe in the universe or at its limits? what, if anything, makes ordinary truths, truths of the special sciences, and truths of mathematics true? and what is it for an assertion or judgment to be 'made true'? in the universe as we find it, john heil offers answers to these questions framed in terms of a comprehensive ontology of substances and properties inspired by descartes, locke, their successors, and their latter day exemplarsproperties are modes -particular ways particular substances are -and arrangements of propertied substances serve as truthmakers for all the truths that have truthmakerssubstances are simple, lacking parts that are themselves substancesheil argues that the deep story about the nature of these truthmakers can only be told by fundamental physicssee oxfam website for delivery information read more

" this major claim has, however, remained underscrutinized by scholars working on girard's theory, and it is mostly overlooked within the natural and social sciencesequally, girard's theory is presented as having the potential to become for the human and social sciences something akin to the integrating framework that present-day biological science owes to darwin-something compatible with it and complementary to it in accounting for the still remarkably little understood phenomenon of human emergence" french philosopher of science michel serres states that girard's theory provides a darwinian theory of culture because it "proposes a dynamic, shows an evolution and gives a universal explanation" he posits that archaic religion (or "the sacred"), particularly in its dynamics of sacrifice and ritual, is a neglected and major key to unlocking the enigma of "how we became humansee oxfam website for delivery information read morejoining disciplinary worlds, this book aims to explore this ambitious claim, invoking viewpoints as diverse as evolutionary culture theory, cultural anthropology, archaeology, cognitive psychology, ethology, and philosophythe contributors provide major evidence in favor of girard's hypothesisoxfam books & music lancaster from his groundbreaking violence and the sacred and things hidden since the foundation of the world, rené girard's mimetic theory is presented as elucidating "the origins of culture
