    About this ebook

    XML is bringing together some fairly disparate groups into a new cultural clash: document developers trying to understand what a transaction is, database analysts getting upset because the relational model doesn't fit anymore, and web designers having to deal with schemata and rule based transformations. The key to rising above the confusion is to understand the different semantic structures that lie beneath the standards of XML, and how to model the semantics to achieve the goals of the organization. A pure architecture of XML doesn't exist yet, and it may never exist as the underlying technologies are so diverse. Still, the key to understanding how to build the new web infrastructure for electronic business lies in understanding the landscape of these new standards.If your background is in document processing, this book will show how you can use conceptual modeling to model business scenarios consisting of business objects, relationships, processes, and transactions in a document-centric way. Database designers will learn if XML is subject to relational normalization and how this fits in with the hierarchical structure of XML documents. Web designers will discover that XML puts them into a position to automatically generate visually pleasing web pages and rich multimedia shows from otherwise dry product catalogues by using XSLT and other transformation tools. Business architects will see how XML can help them to define applications that can be quickly adapted the ever changing requirements of the market.

      Serious historians have learned a lot about the Bible in the last 200 years by subjecting it to rigorous historical analysis. However, their findings remain largely unknown to the general public despite the fact that nearly all reputable seminaries teach those findings to their students. Bart Ehrman poses, but does not answer, the question of why that is so. The unstated implication is that the pastors pander to piety, preferring pious flocks to an informed laity. In Jesus, Interrupted, Ehrman seeks to acquaint the general reader with the (not so) new learning. The Bible is not the work of a single author, but rather an anthology written by many authors over hundreds of years. As Erhman explains:The Old Testmant consists of thirty-nine books written by dozens of authors over at least six hundred years. The New Testament consists of twenty-seven books written by perhaps sixteen or seventeen authors over a period of seventy years.Not surprisingly, both the Old and the New Testaments are filled with discrepancies, many of them irreconcilable contradictions. Ehrman focuses primarily on the New Testament, but his general comments and conclusions apply as well (perhaps writ large) to the Old Testament.Much of this book is given over to an explication of the contradictions in the Bible. They are easily in evidence, Ehrman explains, if you read the stories horizontally rather than vertically. (Think of a spreadsheet: take a story, like The Last Supper, and go through each gospel and compare what is said.) What can we conclude about all the discrepancies? Ehrman draws three conclusions:1.The discrepancies show that ?the view of the Bible as completely inerrant appears not to be true.?2.Each author has to be read for his own message.3.Bible stories cannot be read as ?disinterested historical accounts.? Personal and political agendas competed for hegemony.Is faith possible given these findings? Ehrman believes it is. He observes ?Christianity, as has long been recognized by critical historians, is the religion about Jesus, not the religion of Jesus.? Christianity as we know it today has evolved, and it has been a human invention. It has emerged through periods of competing views, doctrines, and power struggles. None of this means, Ehrman stresses, that the Christian message cannot inform and guide your life and your thinking. But a historical perspective can have the positive effect of allowing you to see the words of the Bible in their historical context, and allow you to re-evaluate them for their relevancy to modern times. It can help you think about ?the big issues of life? and ?can inspire us ? and warn us ? by its examples." It can encourage us ?to live more for others and not only for ourselves.? These are timeless messages at which the Bible excels.
