Milton's early commentators—Henry Todd, Thomas Newton, Joseph Addison, and others—not only knew their classics well, they took them seriously as models of literary excellence and repositories of values. In the twentieth century, however, the classics have become mere "background." As a consequence, William M. Porter argues, not only is the foundational dimension of Milton's poetry now hardly visible, even to scholars, but the potential of Milton's poetry to revitalize the reading of the classics has been diminished. In this insightful study, Porter attempts once again to read both the classics and Milton's epic poem sensitively and intelligently. He exposes the recklessly speculative and tendentious character of much earlier work on Milton's allusions, in which allusions were promiscuously posited and in which Paradise Lost was too often regarded naively as triumphing over the classics. Porter demonstrates that Milton's allusions, in which allusions to the classics, while fewer than has been supposed, are rich with wit, irony, and thought that can be grasped only by a reader with a double perspective.

Collaborative applications of a variety of modeling methodologies have multiplied in recent decades due to widespread recognition of the power of models to integrate information from multiple sources, test assumptions about policy and management choices, and forecast the future states of complex systems. However, information about these modeling efforts often is segregated by both discipline and modeling approach, preventing modelers from learning from one another. This volume addresses the need for cross-disciplinary and cross-methodological communication about collaborative modeling. To enhance a shared understanding of systems problems, scientists and stakeholders need strategies for integrating information from their respective fields, dealing with issues of scale and focus, and rigorously investigating assumptions. The chapters in this volume first explore modeling methodologies for enhanced collaboration, then offer case studies of collaborative modeling across different complex systems problems. The volume will be useful for experienced and beginning modelers as well as scientists and stakeholders who work with modelers.

William Porter combines a balanced and insightful look at end times events with a practical guide on how the certainty of Jesus' return should impact the way Christians live now. Talking about the end times can often seem confusing with so many different interpretations held by Christians. William Porter deftly examines the issues and events to provide a measured and biblical middle way through the subject. One thing is clear- Jesus is coming back as a conquering king. Porter believes that this might be much nearer than we think and asks the big question: How would we live our lives if we really believed that Jesus was coming soon? Porter invites us to be 'forerunners' preparing the world for Jesus' return by declaring to modern society that Jesus is coming again. Questions are included throughout the book to help think through how that practically impacts our lives and our evangelism. The Forerunner Cry enables readers to understand the biblical teachings on the end times, live a godly life, and be confident to pass on the message of the imminent return of Jesus.

Radiant and Resolute explores what theBible says the church is like in the end times when Jesus returns and then askswhat the church can do now to be ready. With signsof the end times in evidence like never before, Jesus' return may not be thatfar off. While the time is not known, it is evident that God has a clear planto make the church a beautiful bride for Jesus, and Radiant and Resolutechallenges us to ask what the church should be doing now to beprepared.William Porter believes that the church will needto be resolute during the time of great turmoil ahead but also radiant becauseScripture promises great revival. Combining eschatological thought withpastoral application, this vision is unpacked through four main areas:life in the end times; the church as the bride of Christ; seven marks of theend-time church; and preparing for the end time.Useful foranyone interested in exploring what the Bible says about the end times, Radiantand Resolute will be particularly relevant for those either leading churches orwatching and praying over the signs of the times. Although painting a dramaticpicture of times ahead, this is ultimately a hopeful vision of the Lord helpinghis church to become his radiant bride.If the church is truly to be the radiant and resolutebride of Christ is she ready?Includes a foreword by R.T.Kendall.Radiant and Resolute will helpyou:Gain an understanding of the church from abiblical end-times perspectiveDiscover a scriptural andpastoral understanding of eschatology Gain a clearerunderstanding of the bride of Christ imagery Pivot yourdiscipleship and church life for the future
