  • THE RUSSIANS ARE GOING: SADAT, NIXON and the SOVIET PRESENCE in EGYPT, 1970-1971 by Craig A
    THE RUSSIANS ARE GOING: SADAT, NIXON AND THE SOVIET PRESENCE IN EGYPT, 1970-1971 By Craig A. Daigle* New evidence reveals that the United States was well aware of Sadat's intention to remove the Soviet military presence from Egypt and took steps over the summer of 1971 to ensure this end. We now know that President Nixon's decision to suspend the supply of aircrafts to Israel at the end of June and his decision to press for reopening the Suez Canal as part of an interim agreement between Egypt and Israel had as much to do with getting Soviets out of Egypt as it did with finding a peace agreement between Egypt and Israel. The decision by Egyptian President Anwar hurried a letter to Leonid Brezhnev, al-Sadat to remove the Soviet military claiming the United States had "no presence from his country during the advanced knowledge of the recent events in summer of 1972 has often been viewed as Egypt," and assured the Soviet Premier that the first step on the road to the October the United States would "take no unilateral War the following year.

  • 3Rupture in South Asia
    3Rupture in South Asia While the 1950s had seen UNHCR preoccupied with events in Europe and the 1960s with events in Africa following decolonization, the 1970s saw a further expansion of UNHCR’s activities as refugee problems arose in the newly independent states. Although UNHCR had briefly been engaged in assisting Chinese refugees in Hong Kong in the 1950s, it was not until the 1970s that UNHCR became involved in a large-scale relief operation in Asia. In the quarter of a century after the end of the Second World War, virtually all the previously colonized countries of Asia obtained independence. In some states this occurred peacefully,but for others—including Indonesia and to a lesser extent Malaysia and the Philippines—the struggle for independence involved violence. The most dramatic upheaval, however, was on the Indian sub-continent where communal violence resulted in partition and the creation of two separate states—India and Pakistan—in 1947. An estimated 14 million people were displaced at the time, as Muslims in India fled to Pakistan and Hindus in Pakistan fled to India. Similar movements took place on a smaller scale in succeeding years. Inevitably, such a momentous process produced strains and stresses in the newly decolonized states. Many newly independent countries found it difficult to maintain democratic political systems, given the economic problems which they faced, political challenges from the left and the right, and the overarching pressures of the Cold War. In several countries in Asia, the army seized political power in a wave of coups which began a decade or so after independence.

  • Book Reviews
    Apologetics Southwestern Journal of Theology Southwestern Journal of Theology • Volume 60 • Number 2 • Spring 2018 Book Reviews Biblical Studies Hermeneutics as Apprenticeship: How the Bible Shapes Our Interpretive Habits and Practices. By David I. Starling. Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2016. 256 pages. Paperback, $25.00. David Starling, senior lecturer in New Testament and Theology at Morling College (New South Wales, Australia), writes that learning how to interpret the Bible is not like learning a subject such as calculus. It is more like learning a trade. It requires not just textbook methodological rules, but it also involves learning in real- life situations and from others in the Christian community. The Protestant motto Sola Scriptura has often been mistaken as a guideless way of interpretation. However, the biblical writers did not leave the Church without guidance on how to interpret. This book focuses on the dynamics of inner-biblical hermeneutics and their signifi- cance for Scripture’s theological interpretation. Interpreters do not always have to depend on outside sources to learn how to interpret properly. The biblical writers, in many ways, show us how to interpret. Starling exams several biblical books, selecting one key issue of interpretation that arises in it and tracing the interpretive work of the authors. From there he draws implications for biblical interpreters today. In the first six chapters Starling examines various Old Testament books and the purpose for which they were written. He begins with the Psalms, showing that they do not merely teach precepts and propositions, but their purpose is to teach believers how to sing and pray.
