Clay Carters vooruitzichten als advocaat zijn niet bepaald rooskleurig te noemen. Als pro-Deoadvocaat krijgt hij al vijf jaar lang de ene na de andere hopeloze zaak te verwerken en zijn kansen om ooit nog bij een gerenommeerd kantoor roem te vergaren, nemen met de dag af. Maar bij toeval krijgt Clay een zaak toegewezen die de situatie compleet op zijn kop zet. Het lijkt een schietpartij zoals zovele in Washington D.C. Op klaarlichte dag schiet de twintigjarige drugsverslaafde Tequila Watson in koelen bloede Ramón 'Pumpkin' Pumphrey dood. Dat zijn cliënt schuldig is staat vast voor Clay, alleen is niet duidelijk waarom hij het heeft gedaan. Helemaal vreemd aan de zaak is dat Tequila dankzij een nieuw geneesmiddel al ruim honderd dagen clean was. Dit geneesmiddel is echter nog niet officieel erkend, vanwege een nadelige bijwerking. Dan wordt Clay benaderd door de producent van het geneesmiddel, die een voorstel heeft. In plaats van Tequila, moet Clay de nabestaanden van Pumpkin vertegenwoordigen. Als Clay de zaak namens hen weet te schikken, zullen zowel voor hem als voor de nabestaanden enkele miljoenen dollars klaarliggen. Alleen moet dan wel Tequila worden geofferd...

Christianity Today Book Award winner Our world is broken and cries out for reconciliation. But mere conflict resolution and peacemaking are not enough. What makes real reconciliation possible? How is it that some people are able to forgive the most horrendous of evils? And what role does God play in these stories? Does reconciliation make any sense apart from the biblical story of redemption? Secular models of peacemaking are insufficient. And the church has not always fulfilled its call to be agents of reconciliation in the world. In Reconciling All Things Emmanuel Katongole and Chris Rice, codirectors of the Center for Reconciliation at Duke Divinity School, cast a comprehensive vision for reconciliation that is biblical, transformative, holistic and global. They draw on the resources of the Christian story, including their own individual experiences in Uganda and Mississippi, to bring solid, theological reflection to bear on the work of reconciling individuals, groups and societies. They recover distinctively Christian practices that will help the church be both a sign and an agent of God's reconciling love in the fragmented world of the twenty-first century. This powerful, concise book lays the philosophical foundations for reconciliation and explores what it means to pursue hope in areas of brokenness in theory and practice.

Englische Literatur in Reclams Roter Reihe: das ist der englische Originaltext – mit Worterklärungen am Fuß jeder Seite, Nachwort und Literaturhinweisen. ›Der Kaufmann von Venedig‹ zählt zwar – wegen des glücklichen Endes – zu Shakespeares Komödien, aber die dominierende Figur des Juden Shylock trägt offenbar Züge, die das Stück durchaus der Tragödie annähern. Venedig und Belmont bilden zudem zwei faszinierende Gegenwelten, aus denen das »Problemstück« seine dramatische Spannung bezieht. Englische Lektüre: Niveau B2 (GER)

Hailed by Henry James as "the finest piece of imaginative writing yet put forth in the country," Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter reaches to our nation's historical and moral roots for the material of great tragedy. Set in an early New England colony, the novel shows the terrible impact a single, passionate act has on the lives of three members of the community: the defiant Hester Prynne; the fiery, tortured Reverend Dimmesdale; and the obsessed, vengeful Chillingworth. With The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne became the first American novelist to forge from our Puritan heritage a universal classic, a masterful exploration of humanity's unending struggle with sin, guilt and pride.
