I would highly recommend my complete summary of McClendon’s “Ethics”. In my opinion “Ethics” is a dense book, in which McClendon deals with many different authors and disciplines. Therefore I myself needed to get grip on the structure of the book and the main line of thought of this important theological work. This led me to produce this summary, in which I tried to represent McClendon’s ethical theory in a clear and complete way. At many places my summary is really extended, because...

This document is a complete summary of the revised edition of Carroll's important work "As One With Authority" (2011). Carroll provides a sociological and theological perspective on pastoral authority by describing both the ultimate and penultimate bases for authority. In addition he argues that "reflective leadership" is what our churches need. In doing this he is taking some fundamental biblical/theological beliefs as well as our contemporary context into account. I would highly recommend...

Dit document is een beknopte, maar zeer volledige samenvatting van het complete boek van David Jasper, A Short Introduction to Hermeneutics. Mijns inziens kan deze samenvatting zelfs dienen als vervanging van het boek (wat je geld bespaart). Ook is het een goede, maar korte eerste inleiding in de hermeneutiek voor diegenen die onderzoek willen doen op dit vakgebied. De samenvatting heeft dezelfde indeling als het boek en kent exact dezelfde titels en tussenkopjes. Naast een samenvatting bevat h...

This document contains a compact, but complete summary of the book "Do morals matter?" from Ian S. Markham. Only the last two chapters are not included, because they are not very relevant. At the end of the summary of each chapter, I added a glossary with the most imporant concepts of that chapter. I can really recommend this summary to you, when you have a test about this book, or when you are looking for a short introduction to the ethical field.

Please note: I never claim this document to be a complete summary of the first part of MacCulloch’s book. This document only contains main lines of part 1 of the book, which are relevant in my opinion. Therefore, my subheadings do not correspond with those in the book. Though this document is not a complete summary of Church History, I still believe it is very useful for students, because it indicates in a very compact way what is important in the first six chapters.

This is a very detailed summary of chapter 4-23 of the book 'A brief introduction to the Old Testament' from Michael D. Coogan. I've summarized ch. 1-3 in my vernacular, so therefore these chapters are not included in this file. I've added an index and I've copied the titles and (sub)headings of the original book, so you will find subjects that you possibly will be seeking to very easily. Please note that I used the Second Edition of this book. Are you a Dutch student? You can get my summarize...

LET OP: Van het boek (Tweede editie) zijn hoofdstuk 3 tot en met 24 samengevat. Dit houdt in dat hoofdstuk 1 en 2 niet in de samenvatting zijn opgenomen. De samenvatting bestaat uit 96 pagina's; de tekst uit het originele boek beslaat bijna 500 pagina's. De laatste twee pagina's bevatten een overzicht van de belangrijkste werken van belangrijke auteurs uit de kerkgeschiedenis tot en met de 13e eeuw. Zo nu en dan is in tabellen het verschil in opvatting tussen twee verschillende personen uit d...
