Syosset People and Places

By: John Delin

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The hamlet of Syosset, located on Long Islands North Shore, was settled by the Dutch and English in 1648 and was known as Eastwoods. It was not until 1854, when the Long Island Rail Road named its new stop, that the hamlet was given the name Syosset. The presence of the railroad led to a continued population expansion as local farmers prospered and newcomers discovered and joined the desirable community. By the last half of the 20th century, the excellence of Syossets schools drew new residents eager to raise their children around a solid education. Through rare photographs and postcards, Syosset People and Places presents the residents, homes, businesses, and schools that have shaped this historic community.

The Gospel of Matthew in its Roman Imperial Context

By: John K. Riches,David C. Sim

In what sense does Matthew's Gospel reflect the colonial situation in which the community found itself after the fall of Jerusalem and the subsequent humiliation of Jews across the Roman Empire? To what extent was Matthew seeking to oppose Rome's claims to authority and sovereignty over the whole world, to set up alternative systems of power and society, to forge new senses of identity? If Matthew's community felt itself to be living on the margins of society, where did it see the centre as lying? In Judaism or in Rome? And how did Matthew's approach to such problems compare with that of Jews who were not followers of Jesus Christ and with that of others, Jews and Gentiles, who were followers? This is volume 276 in the Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement series and is also part of the Early Christianity in Context series.

Scotch College Adelaide Through the Camera Lens: 1919 - 2019

By: John Camens

“A picture is worth a thousand words,” an expression credited to advertising executive Fred Barnard from the 1920s, underscores the power of visual imagery. If there is merit in this expression, then this book contains in excess of two million words! Scotch College Adelaide has been fortunate to have benefited from a community with the desire and foresight to capture, collect, store, and curate many photos of the College grounds, buildings, activities, events, and people. My objective when commencing this book was to share as many of these photos as possible with the broader Scotch community, thereby indirectly telling its story. The written history of Scotch, along with descriptions of people and events from the College’s first 100 years, can be found in several publications. Notable works include Ken Preiss and Pamela Oborn’s The Torrens Park Estate, Peter Read and Alex Pouw-Bray’s Ninety Years at Torrens Park, the unpublished document by Nicole Desjardins Moschakis on the College’s Management Structure and Infrastructure (1919-2019), the Scotch College Magazines, Cluaran, and Scotch Reports. The written introductions and text accompanying each chapter are designed to provide context and summaries. They were largely sourced from the aforementioned documents. The images have been selected primarily for their effectiveness in telling the Scotch story, some gaps exist and not every era is showcased equally. The photos are generally laid out in chronological order. In certain sections however, they have been displayed randomly to give the reader an opportunity to observe how much the College has either changed – or remained the same – over its 100 years. Unless otherwise specified, names of people in the photos are listed from left to right. I am grateful for the support I have received from the College in producing this book, particularly Warren King and Natalie Felkl from the Development Office. Jarren Gallway from openbook howden deserves significant recognition for the design and layout of the images and text. I also extend my thanks to Evan Hiscock (’64), Rod Dyson, Ken Webb, Suzanne Farrington, Rebecca Healy, Murray Camens (’71), Phil Camens (’76), Margaret Howard (’74) (nee Camens), Sandra Paterson, Sarah Freeman (’87) and Mark Kelly for their invaluable advice and support on the content, structure and proof reading of this publication. Many current and former staff members, as well as Old Collegians, have also contributed additional photographs, content, names and captions. I hope this book offers a meaningful insight into life at Scotch over its first 100 years and rekindles fond memories of the community’s connection with the College. May it celebrate the friendships and experiences that have shaped and continue to influence the lives of “Scotchies”.

Imagining the American Polity

Political Science and the Discourse of Democracy

By: John G. Gunnell

Americans have long prided themselves on living in a country that serves as a beacon of democracy to the world, but from the time of the founding they have also engaged in debates over what the criteria for democracy are as they seek to validate their faith in the United States as a democratic regime. In this book John Gunnell shows how the academic discipline of political science has contributed in a major way to this ongoing dialogue, thereby playing a significant role in political education and the formulation of popular conceptions of American democracy. Using the distinctive “internalist” approach he has developed for writing intellectual history, Gunnell traces the dynamics of conceptual change and continuity as American political science evolved from a focus in the nineteenth century on the idea of the state, through the emergence of a pluralist theory of democracy in the 1920s and its transfiguration into liberalism in the mid-1930s, up to the rearticulation of pluralist theory in the 1950s and its resurgence, yet again, in the 1990s. Along the way he explores how political scientists have grappled with a fundamental question about popular sovereignty: Does democracy require a people and a national democratic community, or can the requisites of democracy be achieved through fortuitous social configurations coupled with the design of certain institutional mechanisms?

Exploring the Evolving View of God

From Ancient Israel to the Risen Jesus

By: John M. Perry

Exploring the Evolving View of God outlines cultural and historical limitations that continue to shape our language and ideas about God. It relates abstract thinking about God to the concrete history of ancient Israel and draws parallels between Israel's history and the New Testament confession of Jesus as Messiah.
