Auschwitz n'est pas un simple fait historique : c'est un arche¿type de notre trage¿die. Comment peut-on sortir d'une telle barbarie contem- poraine ? Pour y re¿pondre, l'auteur nous invite ä un exode hors de la pense¿e occidentale qui a nalement abouti au totalitarisme (e¿cono- technobureaucratie). Le point de de¿part d'une telle entreprise consiste en une ge¿ne¿alogie de l'ontothe¿ologie qui a conduit ä la de¿shuman- isation et ä l'e acement d'autrui. Pour en sortir, une conversion du regard est indispensable. L'auteur propose donc de scruter la pense¿e de Gre¿goire de Nysse et de Mai¿tre Eckhart a n d'y de¿couvrir un courant enracine¿ dans la pense¿e he¿brai¿que, qui l'irrigue de manie¿re souter- raine. C'est une voie d'exode vers l'accueil de l'autre, voie par laquelle le monde contemporain peut retrouver l'humanite¿.Hisao Miyamoto, ne¿ en 1945 ä Nagaoka (re¿gion de Nigata, Japon), fre¿re dominicain, ancien e¿le¿ve de l'E¿cole biblique de Je¿rusalem, professeur e¿me¿rite de l'universite¿ de Tokyo (Graduate school of Artand Science), ancien professeur de l'universite¿ Sophia (Universite¿ je¿suite - Jöchi, Faculty of eology and Graduate School), est actuelle- ment directeur du Centre de la culture chre¿tienne ä la Tokyo Junshin University.

Ses recherches couvrent plusieurs domaines, qu'il conjugue : Bible, patro- logie, philosophie me¿die¿vale (notamment omas d'Aquin et Mai¿tre Eckhart), dialogues avec les penseurs contemporains (H Arendt, E Levinas, J-L Marion, G Agamben) ainsi qu'avec les penseurs japonais ä travers les äges.Il donne aussi de nombreuses confe¿rences, tant au Japon que dans d'autres pays d'Asie, notamment la Core¿e du Sud.

Ecological Aspects of War reflects on warfare in the larger context of planetary relationality – not only the limits that must be respected in human conflicts, but also the impact of war on the larger created order. From the ancient legal constraint that fruit trees should not be destroyed in siege warfare (Deuteronomy 20) to the incarnational embedding of Christ in the material world, there is a broad range of theological issues to consider in re-imagining our relationships within the biosphere. This admirable Australian discussion demonstrates afresh how Christian theological traditions envisage an inter-species responsibility, and in addition, takes the necessary step of including Muslim and Buddhist perspectives on these most pressing issues. Australians’ ecological footprints are among the heaviest on earth. Australia is a combatant in its longest running war. Despite this, ecological, economic and military crises and are largely absent from public discourse and most Australians continue to live, and our governments continue to operate, as if the earth had no limits and the war did not exist. Situating questions of war and peace in an ecological framework, contributors use varied faith perspectives and approaches to highlight the interconnectedness of all life and the interrelationships between war and violent economic systems that normalise destructive commercial-industrial practices and promote irresponsible patterns of consumption and waste production. Ecological Aspects of War has the potential to help us muster the collective spiritual, moral and cultural resources needed to come to grips with the ecological, economic and military crises in which we are complicit and to imagine and create non-violent life-giving alternatives. It is a timely and important contribution.

This volume of essays deals with the critical issue of water and a lack of it. It deals with the scientific, theological, biblical and social issues.

"The sporting ground for our people has been a ground of truth and reconciliation, a proving ground for young men and women where black and white meet and play on equal terms and agreed rules. Black Gold shares the proud history of First Nations sportspeople in shaping the sporting history of Australia. It is a story that can be told and retold.-- Senator Patrick Dodson". School of Arts. He is the co-author of two books with Colin Tatz; Evonne Goolagong, Cathy Freeman, Nova Peris, Lionel Rose, Artie Beetson, Polly Farmer are just a few of our Australian sporting heroes who, since the mid-1880s, have helped shape Australias identity as a great sporting nation. They, along with 261 other individual sporting greats, are showcased here in this new edition of the Aboriginal and Islander Sports Hall of Fame. Spanning 36 sports across a period of 166 years, Black Pearls presents some of our Olympic heroes, superb sportswomen, football giants, boxing legends, lightning sprinters and more from darts champions to world class weightlifters and woodchoppers. Black Pearls is more than a sports book. It reveals a history of inclusion and exclusion, about Aboriginal determination in the face of enormous obstacles, and resilience in overcoming remoteness, discriminatory laws, incarceration on isolated reserves, and opponents in a variety of sports arenas.

Le jour d'apres. Personne ne peut pretendre, ni esperer echapper a un evenement, personnel ou collectif, qui ebranle son existence. Et Dieu, ou etait-il dans ce moment de rupture, qu'il ait ete tragique ou heureux? Il convient de relire avec un regard different ces recits bibliques, devenus incontournables, qui mettent en scene Noe, Abraham et Isaac, Job ou Jonas. Il faut rendre a Dieu et a l'homme ce qui revient a chacun d'entre eux. Le Dieu du jour d'apres n'est-il pas celui qui se tait comme s'il entrait en lui-meme pour laisser l'etre humain naitre, renaitre, ressusciter? Le jour d'apres peut etre le temps de la confiance en l'homme et de la foi en Dieu?

In 1836, the newly created Society of Mary receives from the Holy See the responsibility of evangelizing Oceania. Jean-Claude Colin, freshly elected Superior General, will eventually send 117 missionaries there. These men record what they observe, they keep their logbooks, they say how they are received, they state the difficulties they meet, they record the works they undertake... in short, they write.
