China's role in the United Nations has been a significant one. Yet, Samuel Kim contends, as far as the literature on Chinese foreign policy is concerned, the People's Republic of China still remains outside the heuristic framework of the global community. In a comprehensive macro-analysis of Chinese global politics, Professor Kim probes China's image and strategy of world order as manifested through its behavior in the UN. The author draws upon a wide range of previously untapped primary sources, including China's policy pronouncements and voting record and over a hundred personal interviews with UN delegates and international civil servants. He finds that Chinese participation has made the United Nations not only more representative but also more relevant as the global political institution responding to the challenge of establishing a more humane and just world order.

This book explores Korea's place in terms of multiple levels and domains of interaction pertaining to foreign-policy behaviors and relations with the four regional/global powers (China, Russia, Japan, and the United States). The synergy of global transformations has now brought to an end Korea's proverbial identity and role as the helpless shrimp among whales, and both North Korea and South Korea have taken on new roles in the process of redefining and projecting their national identities. Synthetic national identity theory offers a useful perspective on change and continuity in Korea's turbulent relationships with the great powers over the years. Following a review of Korean diplomatic history and competing theoretical approaches, along with a synthetic national-identity theory as an alternative approach, one chapter each is devoted to how Korea relates to the four powers in turn, and the book concludes with a consideration of inter-Korean relations and potential reunification.

"Unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, He cannot enter the kingdom of God" (John 3:5). To be born again and enter into eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven is the reason and purpose that we believe in Jesus. Those who consider themselves righteous, those who claim to be just, will never be born again. Who then can be born again? They are those who realize themselves honestly that they are terrible sinners before the Law of God, saying, "O wretched man I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?" (Romans 7:24). Those who have no righteousness of their own can meet Jesus Christ "who came by water and blood" (1 John 5:6). In other words, only the poor in spirit receive "the remission of their sins" (Luke 1:77) by faith. However, the problem is that there are many modern-version of Pharisees among Christians today. They pretend to be holy even though their hearts are full of sin. They do not honestly admit that "I am a sinner who deserves to go to hell." "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23). If you have any little bit of sin in your heart, you can never enter the Kingdom of God but fall into Hellfire. Some of the Pharisees asked Jesus, "Are we blind also?" Jesus answered to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore, your sin remains" (John 9:41). Those who sincerely admit that they are spiritually blind can meet the Gospel of truth and be born again by wearing the righteousness of God. I earnestly hope that all of you will acknowledge the Original Gospel and reach the glory of the children of God while you read the Bible for 50 days. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it" (Matthew 13:45-46). Once you've met the real thing, you've got to throw away all the imitations. When you encounter the Original Gospel likened to a pearl of great price, throw away all the "other gospels" you have believed so far. And hold fast the genuine Gospel with joy until you reach the Kingdom of Heaven.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Theologie - Historische Theologie, Kirchengeschichte, Note: 1,0, Universität Erfurt (Katholisch-Theologische Fakultät), Veranstaltung: Seminar: Augustinus von Hippo. Christwerden in pluralistischer Gesellschaft, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: "Vobis enim sum episcopus, vobiscum sum Christianus." (AUGUSTINUS, Sermones 340, 1 (PL 38, 1483)), so beschreibt Bischof Augustinus von Hippo in einer Predigt das Bischofsamt. Dieses Zitat eröffnet eine Spannung zwischen dem einfachen "Christ sein" und der verantwortungsvollen, seelsorgerischen Aufgabe für die Menschen da zu sein, sie zu leiten und zu begleiten. Da die Forschung über das Leben und Wirken des Augustinus ausgebildet ist, ist es relativ leicht Übersichten und Biographien zu finden. Schwieriger ist es, die Tätigkeit nur unter einem bestimmten Gesichtspunkt, der Seelsorge, zu untersuchen. Nachdem im ersten Schritt eine Übersicht über den Empfang der Weihen gegeben werden soll, wird in einem zweiten Schritt die Frage, wie Seelsorge überhaupt beschrieben werden kann eine Rolle spielen. Dabei soll auf die zeitliche Veränderung, Entwicklung und Bedeutung des Begriffes eingegangen und eine mögliche Bedeutung für eine Einschätzung zu Augustinus geklärt werden In einem ausführlicheren Teil werden die Aufgabenfelder und Tätigkeiten des Augustinus in seiner seelsorgerischen Funktion beschrieben und analysiert. Im Überblick soll die Richterfunktion, die "audientia episcopalis", des Augustinus als ein Bestand der Seelsorge untersucht werden. Als Literatur und Quellen dienen unter anderem die Standardwerke von van der Meer und Brown sowie verschiedene Briefe, Predigten und Werke Augustinus'. Die Schwierigkeit liegt dabei in der Fülle der unterschiedlichen Quellen, da sich Augustinus zur Seelsorge in vielen seiner Werke äußert. In dieser Hausarbeit wird versucht werden, wichtige und grundlegende Ansichten und Verhaltensgrundzüge des Kirchenlehrers darzustellen. Wichtig ist bei der Unte
