Among the topics covered are Gill's trinitarian theology, his soteriological views, his Baptist ecclesiology, and his use of Scripture. Other papers are more focused, examining, for instance, his clash with the Arminian Methodist leader John Wesley over the issues of predestination and election, a clash that decisively shaped Wesley's perspective on Calvinism.
The tercentennial of Gill's birth in 1997 is a fitting occasion to issue this study of a man whose systematic theology and exposition of the Old and New Testaments formed the mainstay of many eighteenth-century Baptist ministers' libraries and who has never been the subject of a major critical study.

Einerseits wird Drastik als Modus der Darstellung begriffen, der regelmäßig die Frage nach den Grenzen der Kunst aufwirft. Andererseits werden mit dem Drastischen weder eine bestimmte Epoche noch bestimmte Gegenstände, sondern genuin sprachliche Erfahrungen adressiert. Im Anschluss an eine Debatte über das Drastische, die noch nicht über tentative Ansätze hinausgekommen ist, führt der Sammelband vor Augen, dass eine Ästhetik des Drastischen nur auf der Grundlage eines systematisch präziser umrissenen, historisch aber weiter ausgreifenden Begriffs zu erschließen ist.

Geography is not only integral to the planning of tactics and strategies, but plays an important role in the outcome of war and its longterm aftermath. Furthermore, the interplay between war and geography is not purely a modern phenomenon but can be traced back through the ages of history. Geography always had the potential of providing an advantage or disadvantage.
The aim of the volume is to grant historical perspectives on that special interrelationship in different time periods and regional settings. The purpose is to provide a deeper insight and an interdisciplinary discussion, which will open new perspectives on military history in general and the history of warfare in particular.
