The Hardened Heart and Tragic Finitude

By: Dan O. Via

This book has two main theses. First, for the biblical/Christian doctrine of sin the root of the human problem is hardness of heart--the corruption of the core self, of the seat of understanding and will. On the other hand, for an important strand of Greek tragedy the root of human harm-doing is the nonculpable blindness and anxiety of finitude that despite the initial nonculpability lead to evil and suffering. The Hardened Heart shows that these two different interpretations of human existence are amenable to a degree of synthesis that leads to this conclusion: hardness of heart and our ordinary finitude together collude to cause sin in its fullness.The second thesis of this volume is that exegetical studies disclose a deconstructive strand in certain biblical texts that represents the finite world that God created as a source of distress and harm-doing in something like the tragic sense. This subdominant deconstructive position challenges the dominant biblical vision, in which the creation came forth from God's creative word as good without qualification.

The Ethics of Mark's Gospel

In the Middle of Time

By: Dan O. Via

In seeking to develop a hermeneutic for doing ethics on a narrative base, Via here focuses on Mark's ethics and suggests ways in which they interrelate with other significant motifs in the Gospel: eschatology, revelation, faith, and the messianic secret. Via maintains that the middle of Mark's plot presents the paradoxical position of the disciple who is placed in the overlapping of the kingdom of God and the age of hardness of heart. Here is a bold attempt to integrate several agendas in interpretation--iterary criticism, biblical studies, constructive theological ethics--so as to draw out the implications of Mark's narrative for faith and conduct in the real world.

The Parables

Their Literary and Existential Dimension

By: Dan O. Via

Via's book signals a major shift in the study of parables. . . . Via's theory of the parables, what they are and how they work, is different from every theory that preceded him, and his reviewers noted the uniqueness of his approach. --Charles W. Hedrick, author of 'Many Things in Parables: Jesus and His Modern Critics' Beginning in the 1960s scholarship on the parables became an American enterprise and has remained such. Robert Funk and Dan Via, independently of each other, instigated a new approach to the parables that was as revolutionary as Julicher's rejection of allegory. --Bernard Brandon Scott, author of 'Re-Imagine the World: An Introduction to the Parables of Jesus' Via's integration of a literary dimension into some sophisticated theological interpretation represents one of the more significant theoretical advances in recent biblical interpretation. --Robert Morgan, author, with John Barton, of 'Biblical Interpretation' The main purpose of this book is to interpret the parables 'in dialogue with aesthetic and (non-biblical) literary-critical thought' and by means of 'an existentialist hermeneutic.' Its excitement -- and this is an exciting book -- comes from the fact that the author brings to his task qualifications that are rare among interpreters of the parables. Moreover, these qualifications are probably attainable only in an academic, theological situation which is peculiarly American; and this book may therefore represent a wholly new and characteristically American kind of biblical scholarship . . . --Norman Perrin, author of 'Parable and Gospel' . . . The relation of this book to the demythologizing program and to the new quest of the historical Jesus will be obvious, and granting its presuppositions it is a distinguished contribution to both. It is executed with wide learning in the fields of biblical scholarship, aesthetic-literary criticism, and existentialist hermeneutics . . . --Regninald H. Fuller, author, with Daniel Westberg, of 'Preaching the Lectionary: The Word of God for the Church Today

Self-Deception and Wholeness in Paul and Matthew

By: Dan O. Via

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Self-Deception and Wholeness in Paul and Matthew

By: Dan O. Via

Via uses the concept of self-deception as a vantage point for understanding something about Paul and Matthew. Employing an existential method in the broad sense, Via asks about the nature of a pervasive phenomenon of human existence with some attention given to psychological aspects. Nevertheless, this study is primarily exegetical and interpretive -- aimed at theological understanding -- rather than intensively methodological. Positing that self-deception is a deformation, Via undertakes to pay attention primarily to the subversion of the self and the recovery of wholeness. Additionally, attention is paid to self-deception as a social phenomenon and some consideration is given to its social causes and implications.

The Revelation of God And/as Human Reception

In the New Testament

By: Dan Otto Via

A resourceful and thorough study of an important issue in New Testament and systematic theology, this book is one that takes human action and reception into full account. Where does God's revelation reside--in the event or in the interpretation? If history is about the creation of meaning, what does it mean to say that God reveals God's self in history? Dan Via addresses these and related issues in this original volume.

Logical Foundations Of Computer Science (In 2 Volumes)

By: Peter A Fejer,Dan A Simovici

Logic is a foundational mathematical discipline for Computer Science. This unique compendium provides the main ideas and techniques originating from logic. It is divided into two volumes — propositional logic and predicate logic. The volume presents some of the most important concepts starting with a variety of logic formalisms — Hilbert/Frege systems, tableaux, sequents, and natural deduction in both propositional and first-order logic, as well as transformations between these formalisms. Topics like circuit design, resolution, cutting planes, Hintikka sets, paramodulation, and program verification, which do not appear frequently in logic books are discussed in detail.The useful reference text has close to 800 exercises and supplements to deepen understanding of the subject. It emphasizes proofs and overcomes technical difficulties by providing detailed arguments. Computer scientists and mathematicians will benefit from this volume.

Character Strengths and Abilities Within Disabilities

Advances in Science and Practice

By: Ryan M. Niemiec,Dan Tomasulo

This book examines the science and practice of character strengths as the backbone for understanding, studying, and applying positive interventions across a wide range of disabilities. It explores character strengths as positive personality qualities most central to an individual’s identity that create positive outcomes for building well-being and managing adversities and contribute to the collective good. The book recognizes disability as a part of the human experience that can emerge for anyone and the necessity for examining and applying strengths-based approaches. It explores what is known about character strengths and various disabilities from a science and practice perspective. The book reviews research on the assessment, correlations, concepts, populations, and applications of character strengths across disabilities. It disseminates disparate research and little-known best practices and hypothetical practices, along with multiple case examples, in the effort to advance the science and practice, bring a balanced approach to the field, and contribute to human flourishing. Key topics of coverage include: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and character strengths. Intellectual and physical disabilities, medical illness and character strengths. Mental and emotional disorders (e.g., trauma) and character strengths. Character strengths and disability across special issues including justice, inclusion, dual-diagnosis, and spirituality. Understanding character strengths as internal capacities and abilities across disabilities, problems, and suffering. Character Strengths - the Abilities Within Disabilities is an essential and valuable resource for researchers, professors, clinicians, practitioners, and therapists as well as graduate students in the fields of developmental and positive psychology, rehabilitation, social work, special education, occupational, speech and language therapy, public health, and healthcare policy.

The Surprising Mathematics of Longest Increasing Subsequences

By: Dan Romik

In a surprising sequence of developments, the longest increasing subsequence problem, originally mentioned as merely a curious example in a 1961 paper, has proven to have deep connections to many seemingly unrelated branches of mathematics, such as random permutations, random matrices, Young tableaux, and the corner growth model. The detailed and playful study of these connections makes this book suitable as a starting point for a wider exploration of elegant mathematical ideas that are of interest to every mathematician and to many computer scientists, physicists and statisticians. The specific topics covered are the Vershik-Kerov–Logan-Shepp limit shape theorem, the Baik–Deift–Johansson theorem, the Tracy–Widom distribution, and the corner growth process. This exciting body of work, encompassing important advances in probability and combinatorics over the last forty years, is made accessible to a general graduate-level audience for the first time in a highly polished presentation.

Texas Real Estate License Exam Prep

All-in-One Review and Testing to Pass Texas' Pearson Vue Real Estate Exam

By: Stephen Mettling,David Cusic,Ryan Mettling,Dan Hamilton

Features of Texas Real Estate License Exam Prep (TX-RELEP): - National Principles & Law Key Point Review (60 pages) - Real Estate Math Key Formula Review & Practice (17 pages) - Texas-Specific Laws and Practices (43 pages) - National Practice Tests (500 questions) - Texas Practice Tests (125 questions) - Texas Sample Exam (100 questions) We know the real estate licensing exam can be tough, and very nerve-wracking to prepare for. That’s why we created the Texas Real Estate License Exam Prep (TX-RELEP) the way we did. Since we have been managing real estate schools and developing curriculum for forty years, we know how all this works – or fails to work. TX-RELEP is comprehensive in that it contains both key content review and testing practice. And the text review is Texas-specific – not just simplistic national content, but terse, relevant and accurate Texas laws and regulations presented as a well-organized set of state ‘key point reviews’ ideal for pre-test memorization. But let’s not dismiss the importance of the national content either. TX-RELEP’s national key point reviews are a succinct compression of tested national principles and practices that comprise the national portion of state license exams from coast to coast. Our content is drawn from our own national textbook, Principles of Real Estate Practice – one of the most widely used principles textbooks in the country. Finally, our national content, as well as our question selection, is further tailored to the state testing outline promulgated by Pearson Vue for Texas. Thus the breadth and depth of the law reviews and test questions reflect the topic emphasis of your state’s testing service and your Texas license exam. A word about the test questions… TX-RELEP’s testing practice section consists of ten national practice tests, six state practice tests, and one state exam sample test. The practice tests are roughly 50 questions in length and the sample test is 100 questions. The test questions are designed to cover the content covered by the law reviews – which reinforces your learning of the total body of information tested by your Texas exam. The questions are direct, to the point, and designed to test your understanding. When you have completed a given test, you can check your answers against the answer key in the appendix. You may also note that each question’s answer is accompanied by a brief explanation, or “rationale” to further reinforce your understanding. In the end, as you know, it’s all up to you. Unlike other publications, we are not going to tell you that using this book will guarantee that you pass your state exam. It still takes hard work and study to pass. But we have done our best here to get you ready. Following that, the most we can do is wish you the best of success in taking and passing your Texas real estate exam. So good luck!! For Texas students looking for a Principles I & II prelicense textbook, Principles of Real Estate Practice in Texas is now available

What is New Testament Theology?

By: Dan Otto Via

Does New Testament theology rightly deal with the documents of the New Testament or with something outside the text, such as the unfolding of early Christian religion, the events of salvation history, the historical Jesus in particular, or an understanding of human existence? Is New Testament theology a strictly historical project, a dialectical interaction between historical interpretation and hermeneutical concerns, or solely a hermeneutical program? This lucidly written volume by a prominent New Testament theologian not only describes how New Testament theology has been and is being done, but provides critiques of the major approaches from the past century. Especially important are his discussions of Rudolf Bultmann, Hendrikus Boers, N. T. Wright, and postmodernism. Beyond critique, Via offers his own proposals for doing New Testament theology.

Divine Justice, Divine Judgment

Rethinking the Judgment of Nations

By: Dan Otto Via

In the weeks after September 11, 2001, some conservative evangelists spoke of the terrorist attacks as God's judgment on the United States. Such comments appalled other Christians, who insisted the U.S. was an innocent victim of an act of pure evil. Dan O. Via offers a nuanced, sensitive, and deeply challenging exploration of the biblical themes of God's justice and judgment over the nations. Book jacket.
