The current era is both exciting and confusing. A lot of changes are going on in China. There are both crises and opportunities. In this essay, I want to introduce many exciting recent developments of contemporary Christianity in China. All the developments show that the Chinese church is already taking deeper and deeper roots in China, and there are a lot of opportunities for the church to participate in culture and society. Many Chinese, both common people and intellectuals, have a renewed appreciation of the strength and relevance of the Christian faith, and many others are crying out for something that can satisfy their spiritual longing. Yes, indeed many people are searching for God, or perhaps it is God Himself who has been actively searching for the Chinese since very early times.

This paper argues that a complex of accounting measures - account books, inventories of accumulated wealth, and detailed instructions for production performance - were used to inculcate Western values into the native population located at five Franciscan missions along the San Antonio River in New Spain (present-day Texas) from 1718 to 1794. Bolstered by the need to alleviate communications problems caused by extreme isolation, the missionaries constructed detailed mission documents that described the acquisition of scarce resources, reported the aggregation of material and spiritual mission wealth, and controlled daily production performance of the native population. In short, the resulting mission economic system, which held the Indians to certain notions of accountability, primarily ...

Such was the creed of the otherworldly Gnostics, who believed knowledge of Jesus' supposed mystical secrets allowed an elite group to be saved. That's totally different from the New Testament's democratic salvation from sin for anyone who believes in Jesus' death on the cross.
National Geographic said it has the very document mentioned in AD 180 by Bishop Irenaeus in Against Heresies. Irenaeus mentioned one sect that claimed [Judas] "was acquainted with the truth as no others were" and had produced a "fabricated work to this effect, which they entitle the Gospel of Judas.
Then Craig Evans, a Bible expert who teaches at Acadia Divinity College at Acadia University in Wolfville, N.S., said, "I don't think it tells us anything about the historical Judas, the historical [Jesus Christ] or t...

In the last decade, an increasing number of analyses of accounting history literature have been undertaken to classify historical research paths and to "map" the variety of approaches and issues of the discipline in different geographical settings so as to make international comparisons. The paper develops these topics in the Italian context by studying the development of accounting history research (AHR) in the last 15 years. Contributions by Italian authors have been published in international and national specialist journals as well as in more general accounting journals. Other papers have been presented and published in the proceedings of the biannual SISR (Società Italiana di Storia della Ragioneria) Congress and in the Congress celebrating the 500th anniversary of the publication ...
