Representations Of Hecke Algebras At Roots Of Unity

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

The modular representation theory of Iwahori-Hecke algebras and this theory's connection to groups of Lie type is an area of rapidly expanding interest; it is one that has also seen a number of breakthroughs in recent years. In classifying the irreducible representations of Iwahori-Hecke algebras at roots of unity, this book is a particularly valuable addition to current research in this field. Using the framework provided by the Kazhdan-Lusztig theory of cells, the authors develop an analogue of James' (1970) "characteristic-free'' approach to the representation theory of Iwahori-Hecke algebras in general. Presenting a systematic and unified treatment of representations of Hecke algebras at roots of unity, this book is unique in its approach and includes new results that have not yet been published in book form. It also serves as background reading to further active areas of current research such as the theory of affine Hecke algebras and Cherednik algebras. The main results of this book are obtained by an interaction of several branches of mathematics, namely the theory of Fock spaces for quantum affine Lie algebras and Ariki's theorem, the combinatorics of crystal bases, the theory of Kazhdan-Lusztig bases and cells, and computational methods. This book will be of use to researchers and graduate students in representation theory as well as any researchers outside of the field with an interest in Hecke algebras.

Zimbabwe Since The Unity Government

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Zimbabwe has moved from a condition of restricted expression to one of many contradictory expressions. Politics has lost none of its compromises and conflicts, but it has been amplified by an explosion of voices. For the first time, a genuine debate is possible among many actors, insiders and outsiders, and the question marks over Zimbabwe and its future are no longer in terms of a narrow choice between one party and another, one outlook or another. Compromise government has meant complexity of debate. This does not preclude disillusionment within debate, but it does include vigour and imagination in debate. This book includes essays from renowned scholars, governmental and diplomatic figures, and prioritises contributions by Zimbabweans themselves. The essays provide a blend of academic and practitioner observation and judgement which no other volume has done. This book was published as a special issue of The Round Table.

Recovering The Unity Of The Bible

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

In this new book Walt Kaiser makes the case for the unity of the Bible. The theological unity of the Bible celebrates the diversity of the Bible, but does so with the conviction that even though that unity can be tested historically, ethically, and otherwise, it has not detracted from the central case for the theological harmony that is found in the text. This has been the general conclusion of two millennia of Judo-Christian exegesis.

Unity In The Triune God

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

The contemporary trinitarian paradigm in systematic theology has been internationally well-known since the time of Karl Barth and Karl Rahner and, particularly, since the contribution of their famous successors. Many of them, Wolfhart Pannenberg and Robert W. Jenson among others, have intentionally shown in their writings what the general ecumenical relevance of the findings of trinitarianism might be. However, the academic research of ecumenism has not yet fully investigated how ecumenically-oriented trinitarian theology has been factually applied in varying ecumenical relationships and agreements. Unity in the Triune God focuses on the ecumenism of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America with its full-communion partners--the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Reformed Church in America, and the United Church of Christ (1997); the Episcopal Church (1999); the Moravian Church in America (1999); and the United Methodist Church (2009). Together all these ecumenically active denominations have shown in their full-communion agreements that the doctrine of the Trinity and the church's common trinitarian confession are not meaningless relics from ancient times, but rather are dynamic and many-sided ecumenical resources that can be used for several functions in full-communion agreements. The goal of this study is to reveal the differing ways in which to utilize this ecumenical potential of the trinitarian faith.

The Unity Of The Bible

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

This landmark work represents an imaginative and important new analysis of the basic development of the Scriptures through the centuries. Christensen explores the overall unity of the entire Bible, not just as a collection of sixty-six or seventy-two individual books, nor just as the Old and New Testaments, but as a single literary work that comprises today’s Christian Bible. He shows how it emerged over the course of centuries in distinct stages. The Hebrew Scriptures or Old Testament developed in three steps from the formation of the Pentateuch and Prophets that took place up to the time of Josiah in the seventh century B.C.E., followed by the production of the Deuteronomic Canon during and following the Exile, and then the completion of the whole Hebrew Canon as we now have it. This was followed by a second major phase – the development of the Apostolic writings to be added to the First Testament as a Second (or New) Testament. After tracing the growth of the Bible in these stages, Christensen examines the structure and literary art of each major section from the Pentateuch (Torah) to the New Testament.

Scriptural Unity

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

In Scriptural Unity, we exhibit how the message of the Psalms, the Book of Isaiah, and the Koran are interlocked to one another as a “trio”– the way three notes form a chord, a triad and cause harmony. Each book can be visualized as a single note. However, when they are “strummed” together, we hear a different sound, one that is harmonious with one another and is pleasant both to the ear and to the mind! Psalms [the 19th Book of the Bible] was authored in 10th century BC and reports a total of 150 years within its 150 chapters. The Book of Isaiah [the 23rd Book of the Bible] was penned down in the 8th century BC, and hosts 66 chapters and reports a total of 66 years worth of world events. The Koran was written down within the 7th century AD and reports a total of 114 years worth of world events in its 114 chapters. Though the three Holy Scriptures are centuries apart from one another, the message they convey is one – as if they were all authored or inspired the very same day by the very same Deity! As we all know by now, Psalms has a date, a year code embedded in it [Psalms Code I, II, and III]. So does the Koran [Psalms Confirm the Koran]. Well, get ready for a surprise! And now, so does the Book of Isaiah! [Scriptural Unity] Each Holy Book studied in this book, namely Psalms, Isaiah and Koran has its own message as a separate identity. However, when all three Holy Scriptures are studied as a “unity”, as a single identity, as a single book, the message they reflect, all of a sudden, turns into a single one - augmenting and complimenting the message of one another regarding the same event, subject or person highlighted in the parallel chapter of all three Holy Scriptures! In the second part, Part II of this book we will study the Bhagavad Gita [the Holy Book of Hinduism] and verify whether the message of the Bhagavad Gita is in unison with the message of the Bible and the Koran. Again, the past 22 incarnations of Jesus and the upcoming due 24 incarnations ahead are signaled in both the Bible and the Koran. The Book of Psalms, that hints the Jesus Incarnation Cycle and signals the incarnation characters of the Cycle, was penned down in 10th century BC – the Koran in the 7th century CE/AD. The Bhagavad Gita, the Holy Book that is almost devoted completely to the concept and the explanation of the LORD’s “incarnation” cycle is dated to a “period between 200 BC and 200 CE” – to a time that roughly marks the middle point of the centuries the Book of Psalms and the Book of Koran were revealed in respectively. What we call an “incarnation” is called an “avatar” in Hinduism. Though known to be innumerable, the “Bhagavad Purana” [Puranic texts of Hindu literature] mentions 22 [and 24] avatars – the same number of incarnations/avatars Jesus was destined to live personally ever since His first birth to Virgin Mary [starting from year 19 AD – when Jesus was 19 years old] and till the end of the 1,900 years long Jesus Cycle that ended in year 1919 AD. Put simply, the Jesus Incarnation Cycle, the past 22, the upcoming 24 total incarnations [avatars] that the Cycle reflects and portrays are confirmed in Hinduism just the same

Pentecostalism And Christian Unity

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

This volume of ecumenical documents, key texts, and critical essays is the first collection of its kind exclusively dedicated to Pentecostalism and its contributions to Christian unity. In the first part, a cadre of internationally renowned scholars addresses the ecumenical heritage and perspectives of the Pentecostal movement since the early twentieth century. Part 2 offers a collection of final reports from international dialogues with Pentecostal participation. The final part contains programmatic essays in response to The Nature and Mission of the Church, a major study on the doctrine of the church published by the World Council of Churches. Most of these essays were first presented by the ecumenical-studies group of the Society for Pentecostal Studies, currently the only organized ecumenical think tank among Pentecostals in North America. Since its formation in 2001, the group has encouraged Pentecostal participation in ecumenical concerns, has hosted Roman Catholic-Pentecostal conversations at the annual meeting of the Society, has invited international scholarly debates on ecumenical matters, and has engaged in the study of ecumenical consensus statements. The essays and documents in this collection model the dedication and commitment among Pentecostals today that engage the challenges and opportunities of Christian unity from the perspective of a tradition that has often been falsely accused of being anti-ecumenical. This collection presents an invaluable resource for teachers, scholars, and pastors interested in engaging the global Christian arena from the worldwide and ecumenical image of Pentecostalism.
