Culture and History of GreatBritain

Seen through a Selection of Breakthrough Achievements Vol. I

Geschichtswissenschaftliche Studien

Encyclopaedias have been written on the subject of the history and culture of GreatBritain. However, the author of this work needed a different approach while ‘selling’ this knowledge to students.

The British Council and Poland in the 1940s – Cultural Propaganda

Schriften zur Geschichtsforschung des 20. Jahrhunderts

African Theology of Solidarity

THEOS – Studienreihe Theologische Forschungsergebnisse

The broad aim of African Theology of Solidarity is to establish that any symbiotic dialogue of the Christian faith with African cultures and the precarious social realities in Africa require the theological unification of the two major theological trends in Africa: Inculturation and Liberation.
