Puritan Devotion

Its Place in the Development of Christian Piety

By: Gordon S. Wakefield

The remarkable debt of all Christian people to the Puritan movement is one that it would be difficult to overestimate. For many, the word "Puritan" is the symbol of narrowness and ultra-godliness; however, less-prejudiced research makes it evident that England, and the world, owes much to the integrity, devotion, and spiritual power of men and women who stood for the things of God in a political atmosphere perhaps even more confused and difficult than our own. The similarity of outlook that exists between John Wesley and the Quakers is something that has often been remarked; and there will be great interest, both for the historian (religious and political) and for the ordinary reader, in following the guidance of Gordon S. Wakefield, one of Methodism's younger scholars, as he adduces the evidence which he brings together from many different fields.

Groundwork of Christian Spirituality

Groundwork of Christian Spirituality

By: Gordon Stevens Wakefield

Groundwork of Christian Spirituality is Gordon Wakefield's final work, completed shortly before he died. Like his notable Dictionary of Christian Spirituality (SCM Press, 1983), it covers a wide range of Christian traditions: Orthodox Roman Catholic, Anglican, Reformed, Free Church. He writes with his usual keen insight and broad ecumenical sympathy, and in a style which is readily accessible to the general reader. This study, like all his previous writings, is underpinned by careful scholarship. Yet he is never a mere theorist, but always concerned to relate his study to the life of faith and the challenge of contemporary discipleship. Those who have appreciated his earlier studies in Puritan, Wesleyan and Catholic spirituality will relish this final offering of a writer who, rooted in Methodist piety, was also a choice example of John Wesley's 'Catholic Spirit'.

California Construction Law

By: Gibbs,Kenneth C. Gibbs,Gordon Hunt

The topics in the book are organized in the same manner as they would actually arise in a construction project. First, the book deals with pre-construction issues licensing, bidding, and the formation of the construction contract. It then discusses what happens when things go wrong with breach of contract by the owner and/or the contractor. An in-depth analysis is provided with regard to claims involving delay, disruption, and acceleration. Several chapters are then devoted to statutory remedies-mechanics' liens, stop notices, and bonds both on public and private works. Finally, coverage is provided on other issues and subjects involving the construction industry, including expanding liability, home improvement contracts, bankruptcy, and alternative dispute resolution.

Parliamentary Sovereignty in the UK Constitution

Process, Politics and Democracy

By: Michael Gordon

The status of the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty in the contemporary UK Constitution is much contested. Changes in the architecture of the UK Constitution, diminishing academic reverence for the doctrine, and a more expansive vision of the judicial role, all present challenges to the relevance, coherence and desirability of this constitutional fundamental. At a time when the future of the sovereignty of Parliament may look less than assured, this book develops an account of the continuing significance of the doctrine. It argues that a rejuvenation of the manner and form theory is required to understand the present status of parliamentary sovereignty. Addressing the critical challenges to the doctrine, it contends that this conception of legally unlimited legislative power provides the best explanation of contemporary developments in UK constitutional practice, while also possessing a normative appeal that has previously been unrecognised. This modern shift to the manner and form theory is located in an account of the democratic virtue of parliamentary sovereignty, with the book seeking to demonstrate the potential that exists for Parliament – through legislating about the legislative process – to revitalise the UK's political constitution.

British and Irish Paintings in Public Collections

An Index of British and Irish Oil Paintings by Artists Born Before 1870 in Public and Institutional Collections in the United Kingdom and Ireland

By: Christopher Wright,Catherine May Gordon

This book sets a new standard as a work of reference. It covers British and Irish art in public collections from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the nineteenth, and it encompasses nearly 9,000 painters and 90,000 paintings in more than 1,700 separate collections. The book includes as well pictures that are now lost, some as a consequence of the Second World War and others because of de-accessioning, mostly from 1950 to about 1975 when Victorian art was out of fashion. By listing many tens of thousands of previously unpublished works, including around 13,000 which do not yet have any form of attribution, this book becomes a unique and indispensable work of reference, one that will transform the study of British and Irish painting.
