That it was not always so is well enough known; why it became so is not. The Dissenters have never been adept at public relations, and many who are ignorant of their faith regard them as an uncomely - though worthy - body of men. This historical portrait does not paint out their blemishes; but it does give attention to their virtues. The main purpose is to show the changing nature of Dissent and what it has dissented against. Dr Routley does not trace the history of each denomination: he is concerned rather with the overall pattern of non-conformity. However, he gives special attention to the early origins of Puritanism and he re-examines in detail the cultural and intellectual 'Dissent' of the Reformation, in which the English dissenting tradition has its roots.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51099102052625,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51099105788177,"sku":"NIN9780521099790","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52141308739857,"sku":"NLS9780521099790","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/052109979X.jpg?v=1751136110"},{"product_id":"hymns-today-and-tomorrow-libra-books-rare-book-erik-routley-1723799049mhp","title":"Hymns Today And Tomorrow (Libra Books)","description":"1966. 189 pages.

Through vibrant poetic storytelling, Abimbola Gbemi Alao awakens each reader to the inherent magic of the UAE desert beyond the sand dunes and Dubai skyscrapers. Above all, this riveting collection of haiku is a symphony of vivid imagery, from medicinal ghaf trees and fragrant Arabian jasmine to historical dhow yards, luscious desert foliage and iridescent marinas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eREVIEWS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbimbola Alao's 'Desert Haiku' gives us images of the UAE unlike any we've ever read, seen, or imagined. From the beach to the sky, the desert to the city, these poems deliver a thoughtful panegyric on the Emirates as a place of modern and natural wonder.\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Anthony Caleshu and Associate Head of School -Research, Knowledge Exchange and Enterprise, University of Plymouth UK \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAbimbola's skilful interpretation of this poetic form is awe-inspiring. In one breath, the reader is transported from one Arabian adventure to another. The rhythm of the haiku represents a modern experience of this land of contrasts. With musicality and other literary devices, Abimbola's verses represent nature and culture, borne on the wings of the haiku.\u003cbr\u003eDr. Susan Waller Department of Medical Education, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, United Arab Emirates University, UAE \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAbimbola Alao carries us through an environment that some of us don't often explore. She sees what the camera can't tell us, what appears and shimmers in our peripheral light, an alteration of texture, substance and form. She describes the richness of the UAE playfully with profundity. Each haiku can be savoured individually, or you can read all and flow with the land as one.\u003cbr\u003eDr. Daranee Boon Clinical Lead in Medical Humanities, Peninsula Medical School, Plymouth University, UK \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAbimbola's words, so intricately arranged, invite you to come on a pleasant journey to the UAE. You will enjoy the landscape, the foggy night beyond the lone star and a meeting with a flamboyance of flamingos... The author's artfully arranged collection of haiku summons her readers to explore their own journey of discovery, belonging and identity. The reader will keep coming back to the poems time and time again.\u003cbr\u003eEmily O'Dowd English Teacher, The Broxbourne School, Hertfordshire, UK \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAbimbola's beautifully illustrated haiku collection is a masterpiece  The allusion to historical, cultural and other monumental artifacts makes the collection informative because it enables readers to take a peek into the land's topography. This work is also preservatory because it provides a lens through which the future generation can see some of the UAE's natural history, juxtaposed with the modern beauty of the country.

That it was not always so is well enough known; why it became so is not. The Dissenters have never been adept at public relations, and many who are ignorant of their faith regard them as an uncomely - though worthy - body of men. This historical portrait does not paint out their blemishes; but it does give attention to their virtues. The main purpose is to show the changing nature of Dissent and what it has dissented against. Dr Routley does not trace the history of each denomination: he is concerned rather with the overall pattern of non-conformity. However, he gives special attention to the early origins of Puritanism and he re-examines in detail the cultural and intellectual 'Dissent' of the Reformation, in which the English dissenting tradition has its roots.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53108634452241,"sku":"NIN9781013909450","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"congregationalists-and-unity-book-erik-routley-9781013657726","title":"Congregationalists and Unity","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
