In this incendiary new work philosopher-theologian Peter Rollins proclaims that the Christian faith is not primarily concerned with questions regarding life after death but with the possibility of life before death. In order to unearth this truth Rollins prescribes a radical & wholesale critique of contemporary Christianity that he calls pyro-theology. It is only as we submit our spiritual practices religious rituals & dogmatic affirmations to the flames of fearless interrogation that we come into contact with the reality that Christianity is in the business of transforming our world rather than offering a way of interpreting or escaping it. Belief in the Resurrection means but one thing: participation in an Insurrection. ...

Intelligence about the enemy is a fundamental part of any war or battle knowledge of the enemys strength dispositions & intentions are essential for success. This book reveals that for 250 years the British Army resolutely failed to prepare for war by refusing to establish a nucleus of soldiers in peace trained to obtain intelligence in war.rnrn Although there were Scoutmasters & secret spy organisations such as Walsinghams in the 15th Century in no major conflict from the Civil War of 1642 including the Peninsula the Crimea Burma Egypt & South Africa & in the multitude of small wars that gained Britain an empire was there any staff branch or unit specifically pre-established to gain intelligence or frustrate the enemy from obtaining intelligence.rnrn Yet the story of British military endeavour over 250 years is a remarkable story of individuals bravery achievement & success. We read of the Scoutmaster whose role was to gather intelligence on the Kings enemies & of Walsinghams secret organisation at the time of Elizabeth I. During the long years of war against France culminating in the Napoleonic Wars spymasters developed on an ad hoc basis. In the Nineteenth Century despite the power & reach of Empire no central intelligence organisation existed. Enterprising young officers worked wonders but failures such as those in the Boer War cost the Nation dearly. It took the reverses in the Great War to create an Intelligence Corps. But even that was disbanded post-war. ...

Many people in organizations resent internal control & risk management; these two processes representing unwelcome tasks to be completed for the benefit of auditors & regulators. Over the last few years this perception has been heightened by the disastrous implementation of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which is generally regarded as having been too expensive for the benefits it has brought. This important & timely book offers a way of improving this prevailing perception & increasing the value of control & risk mangement by bringing creativity & design skills to the fore. The value of risk & control activities is often limited by the value of the control ideas available & so Matthew Leitch provides an arsenal of 60 high performance control mechanisms. These include several alternative ways to design controls & control systems as well as providing controls for monitoring & audit controls for accelerated learning & techniques for finding & recovering cash. This design material is combined with insights into the psychology of risk control strategies for encouraging helpful behaviour & enabling change & a surprisingly simple integration of internal control with risk management. The book is realistic practical original & easier reading than most in the field. The material is not specific to any one country & has international appeal for internal auditors & all those concerned with risk management corporate governance & security. ...
