In one of World War Two's great naval battles, the Royal Navy finally tracked down, cornered, and sank The Scharnhorst--a potent symbol of Nazi seagoing power that had wreaked havoc on Allied convoys. This gripping military tale reveals how the cruiser was lured out of her Norwegian haven on Christmas Day 1943...and in a climactic fight, perished under the big guns of the battleship Duke of York. Eyewitnesses recount this crucial victory that was helped by the cracking of German codes.

This book provides an analysis of two different strategies, peculiar to modern theology, for interpreting the identity of Christ and the recurring theological dilemma of how to deal with a figure who was both an individual human person and yet the bearer of universal, divine significance. The author begins by demonstrating how, in the 17th century, the perception of Jesus of Nazareth underwent a profound change which led eventually to the German Enlightenment. He considers in this connection the work of the two leading Christological thinkers of the 20th century, Karl Rahner and Karl Barth. Rahner's Christology is examined and described as being flawed, despite its brilliance, while Barth's Christology is presented as a more successful response to this modern dilemma in Christology. The author then turns to an earlier theologian, Thomas Aquinas, whose "logico-grammatical" explication of the notion of incarnation suggests a different path through some of the hazards of the Christological debate.

Only Texas, of all the states, can boast of a heritage that includes the army and navy of an independent nation. Throughout the ten turbulent years of Texas independence its military was engaged in constant warfare against enemies within and without. Its regulars were backed up by a militia described as "the most formidable, for their numbers, in the world." Contrary to the image projected by Hollywood and most historians, even in Texas, they were smartly uniformed and equipped with the latest in weaponry. What did these long-forgotten uniforms look like? Texas insignia and flags? Writer-artist-historian Bruce Marshall has discovered the answers in archives in Texas and Mexico, in old diaries and letters and sketches by those who wore or saw them. With his internationally-honored art he has recreated the uniforms in twenty-six full color illustrations, supplemented by fourteen photographs - including the only two known of uniformed officers of the Texas army and navy.
