From the rear cover
The lives of W.T. Cosgrave and his son Liam are inextricably intertwined with the history of the Irish State.

W.T. Cosgrave was one of the principal architects of Irish freedom in the 1916-21 period.Following the tragic deaths of Arthur Griffiths and Michael Collins it was W.T. who led the country through the bitter Civil War and into its first ten years of freedom.He, more than any other individual, deserves credit for putting Irish democracy on a firm footing.

Liam Cosgrave became Taoiseach in 1973 at another decisive point in Irish history.Like his father he faced an armed threat to the State from Republicans, and, like his father, he was unyielding in his defence of the institutions of democracy.As leader of Fine Gael, Liam also contended with a series of attempts to remove him from power.

Both men played a pivotal role in shaping modern Ireland, yet their contributions have been underrated and often ignored.*The Cosgrave Legacy* addresses this oversight, examining the remarkable lives of father and son, and giving them their place in history. ... Read more

Enjoyable and lovely music.
I find this collection of music to be particularly lovely and enjoyable.It is written for voice and piano accompaniment.The sheet music consists of the Stephen Foster originals. (So no guitar chords.)And I have to say, I find the versions to be particularly lovely."Beautiful Dreamer" has the prettiest piano accompaniment to it that I've seen.And even "Oh Susanna" is charming.The accompaniment only requires modest piano accomplishment and the songs are easily sung, so no one needs to be overwhelmed.In all the music is very light and pretty.I do recommend it!It's perfect for evenings at home or light entertaining.

Chords
I hoped chords were included - and they were! When you sell music-books online it is an important information!

Product Description
This interdisciplinary study is the result of an international and ecumenical meeting of nineteen scholars held in New York at Easter 1998: the Trinity Summit. Biblical experts examine the scriptural roots of trinitarian doctrine, patristic scholars correct those who continue to misinterpret the trinitarian teaching of the Cappadocians and Augustine, and five scholars examine systematic and foundational issues like the viability of social models for the Trinity. The volume ends with a study of the Trinity in art and the challenge of preaching the Trinity today. The international reputation of the participants reflects and guarantees the high quality of this joint work. ... Read more

an excellent volume on the Trinity
where to begin?this volume is absolutely packed full of excellent essays on the Trinity.divided into different sections (the Biblical witness; the Patristic witness; Systematic issues; Preaching the Trinity), this volume covers more ground than any other edition that i have come across, and combined with the absolutely stellar level of scholarship from all disciplines, the reader is in for a certain treat.
i have a few minor complaints, though.first, that there is no analysis of the FILIOQUE, and connected with this, that there is (as far as i could tell) no real voice for the Eastern Orthodox approach.finally, it seems as though modern defenses of the social model of the Trinity aren't given anything like a fair hearing.
but there is so much that is good in this book!the analysis of augustine's Trinitarian theology is (thank God) a breath of fresh air, and the same can be said for the analysis given here of the Cappadocian formulation.the high point of the book, for me, was van beeck's 'Trinitarian Theology as Participation', which gave a view of all existence and the universe in its totality as saturated in the Trinity.
an excellent book, i highly recommend it. ... Read more
