This quiz book covers the fascinating journey of Hibernian Football Club throughout the past 142 years. Offcial club historian Tom Wright has used his comprehensive knowledge of the sport and the team to devise over 600 questions spanning from the early days of the club to the present. This is the perfect book for fans of all ages to learn more about the history of one of Scotland''s greatest football teams.

Following the sudden resignation of manager Dave Ewing in 1971, former player Eddie Turnbull was to turn over a new leaf for a team facing relegation. Playing from 1946 to 1959 and forming part of the Hibernian''s ''Famous Five'' forward line, Turnbull would now take the managerial hot seat at his hallowed Easter Road. From Hibernian historian Tom Wright comes a fascinating, in-depth look into the whirlwind seasons for a Hibs side under Eddie Turnbull: the players, fans, successes, clashes, defeats, controversies and more. Going down in history with just one major title, behold the rise and eventual fall of the magical Turnbull''s Tornadoes – possibly Hib''s greatest ever side.

One hundred years ago, in 1914, a bullet from an assassin''s gun in Sarajevo sparked a war that ignited the globe. Patriotic young men all over the world lined up to join the fight -- including hundreds of Indigenous Australians. Shunned and downtrodden in their own country -- and in fact banned by their own government from serving in the military -- Aboriginal men stepped up to enlist. Undaunted, these bold souls took up arms to defend the free world in its time of greatest need. For them, facing the horror of war on a Gallipoli beach was an escape from the shackles of racism at home, at a time when Aboriginal people stood by, segregated, unable to vote, unable to act as their children were ripped from them. When the survivors came back from the war, there was no heroes'' welcome - just a shrug, and a return to drudgery and oppression. Black Diggers is the story of these men -- a story of honour and sacrifice that has been covered up and almost forgotten. Written by Tom Wright and originally directed by Wesley Enoch, Black Diggers is the culmination of painstaking research into the lives and deaths of the thousand or so Indigenous soldiers who fought for the British Commonwealth in World War I. Grand in scale and scope, it draws from in-depth interviews with the families of Black Diggers who heard the call to arms from all over Australia, as well as conversations with veterans, historians and academics. Young men will step from the blank pages of history to share their compelling stories -- and after the curtain falls, we will finally remember them.

On 21 May this year, Hibs made history by winning the Scottish Cup for the first time since 1902. It was a time of celebration when the supporters revelled in their victory and remembered the great heroes of the club. Eric Stevenson is one of those great heroes. When he was inducted into the Hibs Hall of Fame at Easter Road in 2012, Stevenson declared, ''This means everything to me. My uncle founded the Bonnyrigg Hibs supporters club in 1949–50 and I started going to games when I was seven''. This book traces Stevenson''s fanatical interest in the club from a very young age, his time as a left-winger wearing the number eleven green and white jersey in the ''60s, and the well-deserved recognition that he has gained today. Throughout his career, Stevenson also played for Hearts and Ayr United, but this story shows that ultimately he is truly Hibs Through and Through.

Inmitten der täglichen Herausforderungen unseres Alltags - und erst recht, wenn es im Leben drunter und drüber geht - fühlt sich unser Glaube oft klein und schwach an. Es fällt uns schwer, Gott zu verstehen, und manchmal haben wir mehr Zweifel als Glauben. Tom Wright erinnert uns in diesem Buch daran, dass es nicht auf unsere Fähigkeit ankommt, Gott zu vertrauen, sondern auf den, dem wir vertrauen. Wir brauchen keinen großen Glauben, sondern Glauben an einen großen Gott.

What has Christianity to do with power? Why must the church remind those in authority of their responsibilities? What can Christians do to act as the voice of the voiceless? How can speaking of God in public help to create new structures of international justice and peace?

Eine abgelegene tropische Insel mit einem geheimen Raketentestgelände mitten im Pazifik – das ist der Ort, an dem Matt Anderssen arbeitet, als eines Tages der Kontakt zur Außenwelt abbricht. Die letzten Nachrichten, die ihn noch erreichten, sprachen von einem Terrorakt und einer Seuche, welche die Welt an den Rand der Zerstörung bringen könnte. Nun trennen ihn fünftausend Meilen Ozean von seiner Frau und seinen Kindern, und Matt muss zu ihnen zurückkehren, koste es, was es wolle. Zusammen mit zwei Freunden begibt er sich auf eine Odyssee über das Meer, wo nicht nur Stürme und Piraten, sondern auch Hoffnungslosigkeit und Selbstzweifel lauern ...

This book offers a brief, clear and incisive introduction to the Acts of the Apostles. Acts is a substantial book, sitting right in the middle of the New Testament, looking back to the four Gospels and on to the mission of the early churches. It provides a framework for our understanding of the New Testament letters. It also shows us what it means to think of the gospel of Jesus, Israel''s Messiah, going out into the world over which Israel''s Messiah claims the status of Lord. Tom Wright explains how this meant confronting the wider culture of the Greek and Roman world, as well as the culture of the Jewish world. All of this is to be found in Acts, providing much food for thought as we ourselves face new questions about gospel and culture in our own day. Contents 1 Acts 1.1-11: To the Ends of the Earth! 2 Acts 1-4: The New Temple 3 Acts 5-8: Mission and Martyrdom 4 Acts 9-12: Breaking Through the Gentile Barrier 5 Acts 13-16: Converts and Controversy 6 Acts 17-20: Completing the Circle 7 Acts 17.16-34: The Unknown God? 8 Acts 21-24: Trouble in Jerusalem 9 Acts 25-28: And So to Rome

Tom Wright, een expert in Paulusstudies, onderzoekt de stelling dat Paulus, niet Jezus, het christendom stichtte. Hij concludeert dat Paulus niet de stichter is, ondanks discussies. In de vele Jezus- en Paulusstudies die in de afgelopen jaren zijn verschenen, duikt van tijd tot tijd de gedachte op dat niet Jezus van Nazaret, maar Paulus van Tarsus de stichter was van het christendom. Het is echter de vraag of deze stelling houdbaar is in het licht van het modern bijbels-historisch onderzoek. Is er inderdaad voldoende grond om te stellen dat ''Jezus geen christen was''? In dit boek zet Tom Wright, een autoriteit op het gebied van Paulusstudies, de argumenten nog eens op een rijtje. Hij geeft daarbij niet alleen een helder overzicht van de huidige stand van zaken in het onderzoek van Paulus, maar trekt ook nieuwe lijnen. Zijn conclusie, na een grondige studie van alle gegevens, is dat Paulus niet als de stichter van het christendom gezien kan worden. Hoewel de auteur op een wetenschappelijk niveau theologie bedrijft, heeft hij kans gezien in dit boek het onderwerp voor iedere theologisch geïnteresseerde helder te maken. Tom Wright is deken van Lichfield in de Anglicaanse Kerk. Hij is als hoogleraar Nieuwe Testament verbonden geweest aan Oxford, Cambridge en de McGill universiteit. Van zijn hand verschijnen regelmatig wetenschappelijke publicaties over Paulus en zijn brieven.
