      La 4ème de couv. indique : "A pioneer in the law and humanities, James Boyd White here develops a way of criticzing the work of criticizing the work of judges that he then uses as the basis for a more general method of cultural criticism. White argues that analytic philosophy and economics are inadequate as modes of legal criticism. He turns instead to the practice of translation to expose the intellectual and ethical center of legal experience and to conect it with pther forms of cultural action. The unified vision of law and cultural process defined in this book provides a ground both for the criticism of law and for a general understanding of the ways in which we negotaiate our identities and build our communities through language."

      A Comprehensive Study of the Doctrine of Justification The history of the Christian church pivots on the doctrine of justification by faith. Once the core of the Reformation, the church today often ignores or misunderstands this foundational doctrine. Theologian James White calls believers to a fresh appreciation of, understand of, and dedication to the great doctrine of justification and then provides an exegesis of the key Scripture texts on this theme.

      The vision haunted him the rest of his life - a sailboat capsized, people bobbing helplessly in the cold Atlantic, their cries fading in the wake of the luxury liner that was taking him to Europe. Twelve year old Bridge Appleton weeps when his father ushers him away from the gruesome scene to join his family for dinner on the luxurious SS Normandie. He begs his father to alert the captain, only to be admonished for annoying his mother and upsetting the evening's festivities. Bridge obediently accepts his parent's wishes, but he doesn't forget. Now a young man living in 1930s Los Angeles, Bridge overcomes his fears, his friend's disapproval and the warnings from his mother and buys his own sailboat. Swept into a romantic dream, far removed from reality, Bridge envisions a care-free, seafaring life shared with his friends and his girl, Charlene, until reality catches up with him and thrusts him back to the catastrophic vision of his youth, nearly taking his friends with him.
