Study on the works of Saint Paul, the Apostle, ca. 10-67, Apostle to the Gentiles.
This commentary offers the reader a set of letters (or letter parts) written by Cicero, Paul, and Seneca, which have been selected against the Transformational Leadership categories of ‘idealised influence’, ‘inspirational motivation’, ‘intellectual stimulation’, and ‘individualised consideration’. Chapter 1 offers introduction into authors and theory: all three letter writers are considered as ancient leadership figures composing leadership letters. The letters selected are presented in original text facing a translation (Chapter 2). Chapter 3 provides analysis and discussion of each letter, and aims to introduce the reader to the historical and literary contexts before reading the letter through the lenses of Transformational Leadership theory. Chapter 4 sums up the findings on each letter and each letter writer in light of Transformational Leadership and its categories. The volume is aimed at all those who are studying the function of ancient letter-writing – especially the letters of Cicero, Paul, or Seneca.
Polymer chemistry is the chemistry of giant molecules. This includes the synthesis, characterisation and physical chemistry of organic polymers. Polymers are a large class of materials consisting of many small molecules that can be linked together to form long chains. Natural and synthetic polymers can beproduced with a wide range of stiffness, strength, heat resistance, density, etc. With continued research into the science and applications of polymers, they are playing an ever increasing role in society.
Michael Wolter presents the second volume of his EKK-commentary on Paul's epistle to the Romans. The first volume appeared in 2014. Within the history of Christianity the epistle to the Christians in Rome had a strong theological impact. It has been considered to be the most important of the Pauline letters. Detailed philological and historical studies explain the text of this letter, make it transparent and comprehensible for the modern reader. Wolter interprets the text within its cultural and historical environment. These investigations are combined with a theological interpretation that examine the distinct profile of Paul's theological thinking as it is expressed in this writing. This commentary is the first German commentary on Romans which interprets the letter within the scope of the »New Perspective on Paul« and as part of the Christian-Jewish separation process.
