Sommario/riassunto |
|
Eine arme Kirche für die Armen? Oder eine vermögende Kirche, die viel vermag? Ein Beitrag zum Verhältnis von Kirche und Geld. Mit Paulus ruft uns die Kirche auch heute zu: »Ich suche ja nicht euer Geld, sondern euch!« Angesichts einer vermögenden Kirche wird dieser Satz vielleicht als purer Sarkasmus erscheinen. Doch auch Paulus hat für die Jerusalemer Gemeinde Geld gesammelt und war wirtschaftlich gesehen nicht untüchtig. Was hat Paulus also anders gemacht als die Kirche von heute? Wäre es besser, wenn die Kirche arm und unvermögend ist? Wäre sie dann nicht auch tatsächlich in mancher Hinsicht »unvermögend«? Was und wie viel kann eine vermögende Kirche in der gegenwärtigen Zeit bewirken? |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Detection and quantification of trace chemicals is a major thrust of analytical chemistry. In recent years much effort has been spent developing detection systems for priority pollutants. Less mature are the detections of substances of interest to law enforcement and security personnel:in particular explosives. This volume will discuss the detection of these, not only setting out the theoretical fundamentals, but also emphasizing the remarkable developments in the last decade. Terrorist events-airplanes blown out of the sky (PanAm 103 over Lockerbie) and attacks on U.S. and European cities ( |
