During the last few decades there has been a debate concerning the prominence of ecclesiology in the Gospel of John. This book highlights that debate and makes an important contribution to our understanding of Johannine ecclesiology. It argues that ecclesiology is a major theological concern of the Gospel, that investigations into Johannine ecclesiology have suffered under categories that are alien to the Gospel itself, and that the Gospel espouses a christological ecclesiology that emphasizes the origin, nature and purpose of the community. The community is Christus prolongatus; Christology and ecclesiology overlap. In addition, the book makes several new suggestions: that the prayer of the Johannine Jesus in John 17 has its origin (Sitz im Leben) in the ''law-court'' petitionary prayers of the Johannine community in its conflict with the synagogue; that the Johannine concept of glory has to be understood in soteriological terms and is closely related to the Johannine community''s sense of mission; and that the Johannine concept of sending reflects a gnostic sending tradition that was current in first-century Palestine.

This book places an emphasis upon statistical methodology, data interpretation, and futureproofing with the intention of advancing statistics for the environment, ecology, and environmental health, in addition to environmental theory and practice, via the application of reliable statistics.With a focus on advances in statistical methodology and application within the environmental sciences, the overarching purpose of this volume is to illuminate current trends, stimulate a focus on, and connect multidisciplinary domains originating from and within statistical analysis, development, and research. Given that the contributions consist of current improvements and new innovations in climate and environmental science research that are based on statistical theory, researchers can derive inspiration for future advancements or similar analyses on other environmental data.Authored by internationally renowned scholars, this book is organized into three parts: Part I on Supervised and Unsupervised Learning, Part II on Directional Statistics, and Part III on Spatial and Temporal Modeling. Primarily intended as a reference book for academic researchers and graduate-level students in statistics as well as multidisciplinary domains, the chapters reflect a shared commitment to advancing methodological rigor while addressing real-world environmental concerns. They illustrate how environmental complexity drives the evolution of statistical thinking—and how statistical insight, in turn, informs meaningful action.Key FeaturesEmphasizes the ongoing necessity to progress basic statistical theory and explores its relevance to environmental researchEmploys multidisciplinary approaches and applications, appealing to a broader audience beyond solely theoretical statisticsEnhances the collective understanding of the ecosystem’s diverse perspectives to ensure the welfare of present and future generationsWritten by renowned subject matter experts and researchers, making it appealing to scholars from diverse fieldsThe statistical framework is not limited to a single methodology based on data complexity but promotes different techniques

The Asia Bible Commentary Series empowers Christian believers in Asia to read the Bible from within their respective contexts. Holistic in its approach to the text, each exposition of the biblical books combines exegesis and application. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the Body of Christ in Asia by providing pastoral and contextual exposition of every book of the Bible.Micah contains a provocative message: God has a problem with his people and is sending judgment. However, Micah’s message is not only one of impending judgment, it also contains grace and hope. Ferreira shows how Micah provides hope that Christians, especially Asian preachers and teachers, will become courageous messengers of the Lord Jesus Christ. This commentary is based on a careful reading of the Hebrew text within its historical and canonical context. It not only provides a detailed analysis of the book of Micah but also serves as an introduction to the message of Old Testament prophetic literature.
