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.

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.

Die Beiträge knüpfen bewusst an Forschungsinteressen und -entwicklungen an, die Bernd Wegner im Laufe der letzten drei Jahrzehnte vorangetrieben und dabei wesentlich beeinflusst hat. Der Band nimmt wesentliche und in der Forschung intensiv debattierte Fragen aus den Komplexen Krieg, Frieden, Staatenkonflikte und -beziehungen in der Neuzeit auf. Essayistisch gehaltene Gesamtschauen zu neueren Entwicklungen in der Militärgeschichte und der Geschichte internationaler Beziehungen stehen dabei originären Skizzen jüngerer Forschung und Erkundungen neuartigen methodologischen Terrains gegenüber.
