The movement that began with his posting of the Ninety- Five Theses reshaped Europe, redirected Christian history, and recovered the truth of God’s Word. Five hundred years later, what is Luther’s legacy? In this volume, R.C. Sproul, Stephen J. Nichols, and thirteen other scholars and pastors examine his life, teaching and enduring infl uence. Meet Martin Luther, the audacious Reformer who, out of love for the truth and the desire to bring it to light, set the world ablaze.

So, of course, I loved —PSALM 24:1 Sports Illustrated. What I liked best were the football and basketball double issues, Chief Content Officer Nick Eicher and I wasn’t alone. Setting aside its swimsuit issue, which my parents wisely set Editor in Chief Marvin Olasky Senior Editor Mindy Belz aside from me, these seasonal special issues were overwhelming reader favorites. Likewise, in our most recent member survey, we discovered—among other Editor Timothy Lamer things—that our two most popular issues of WORLD Magazine were our News of National Editor Jamie Dean the Year and our summer Books issue. We also Managing Editor Daniel James Devine Art Director David K. Freeland found that you readers particularly value WORLD’s Associate Art Director Robert L. Patete Washington Bureau Chief J.C.

VOICES Joel Belz But is it really appropriate to apply a label like “bad people” to a couple of folks like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump? Are they really any more to be feared and deplored and dismissed than the traditional candidates the two big polit- ical parties have typically rolled out every four years? I suggest, with the increasing evidence of October semi-surprises, that the answer is yes. A ballot of The simple statistical fact is that roughly two-thirds of the U.S. citizenry thinks in severely negative terms about one or the other deplorables of the two; and over half of all likely voters have REFLECTIONS ON A TERRIBLE CAMPAIGN, a distinctly downbeat view of both Clinton and Trump.

  • Blabla Bio Fred Frith
    BlaBla Bio Fred Frith Multi-instrumentalist, composer, and improviser Fred Frith has been making noise of one kind or ano- ther for almost 50 years, starting with the iconic rock collective Henry Cow, which he co-founded with Tim Hodgkinson in 1968. Fred is best known as a pioneering electric guitarist and improviser, song-writer, and composer for film, dance and theater. Through bands like Art Bears, Massacre, Skeleton Crew, Keep the Dog, the Fred Frith Guitar Quartet and Cosa Brava, he has stayed close to his roots in rock and folk music while branching out in many other directions. His compositions have been performed by ensembles ranging from Arditti Quartet and the Ensemble Modern to Concerto Köln and Galax Quartet, from the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra to ROVA and Arte Sax Quartets, from rock bands Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Ground Zero to the Glasgow Improvisers’ Orchestra. Film music credits include the acclaimed documentaries Rivers and Tides, Touch the Sound and Leaning into the Wind, directed by Thomas Riedelsheimer, The Tango Lesson, Yes and The Party by Sally Potter, Werner Penzel’s Zen for Nothing, Peter Mettler’s Gods, Gambling and LSD, and the award-winning (and Oscar-nominated) Last Day of Freedom, by Nomi Talisman and Dee Hibbert- Jones. Composing for dance throughout his long career, Fred has worked with Rosalind Newman and Bebe Miller in New York, François Verret and Catherine Diverrès in France, and Amanda Miller and the Pretty Ugly Dance Company over the course of many years in Germany, as well as composing for two documentary films on the work of Anna Halprin.

  • Fred Frith (Filmmusik)
    Fred Frith (Filmmusik) Geboren 1949 in Heathfield, East Sussex, England. Im Alter 5 Jahren begann Fred Frith mit dem Violinen-Spiel, später kamen das Klavierspiel, mit 13 Jahren die Gitarre hinzu. Während seines Studiums in Cambrige gründete er 1968 mit dem Saxophonisten Tim Hodgkinson die wegweisende Independent-Band Henry Cow, die u.a. mit Chris Cutler, John Greaves und Lindsay Cooper zusammen arbeitete. Nach der Auflösung von Henry Cow ging Frith 1979 nach New York, wo er mit Künst- lern der Downtown-Szene um Tom Cora, Bob Ostertag, Ikue Mori, John Zorn und anderen in Kontakt kam. Die Arbeit von Fred Frith ist seitdem ungewöhnlich vielfäl- tig. Er arbeitete u.a. zusammen mit Amy Denio, Brian Eno, Half Japanese, Material, The Residents, Robert Wyatt, Heiner Goebbels und Yo Yo Ma, produzierte Alben für The Orthotonics, David Moss, Tenko und V- Effec, war Bassist in John Zorns Band Naked City und gründete so unterschiedliche Formationen wie The Guitar Quartett, Massacre (mit Bill Laswell und Charles Hayward) und Skeleton Crew (mit Tom Cora und Zeena Parkins). "Nach mehr als 20 Jahren mit Aufnahmen und Perfor- mances ist Fred Frith so etwas wie die Ikone der Avant- garde Music geworden“ schrieb Die Zeit 1991. „Die Kri- tiker haben ihm Unrecht getan, indem sie ihn als impro- visierenden Cage-Jünger beschrieben... Bei der Anerken- nung der intellektuellen Aspekte seiner Musik dürfen aber nicht die unsterbliche Neugier, der bittere Witz, sein kindlicher Spieltrieb und die schleichende Melan- cholie übersehen werden." In den letzten Jahren verla- gerte sich der Schwerpunkt von Friths Arbeit von der Perfomance hin zur Komposition, dazu kamen zahlrei- che Arbeiten für Theater, Tanz, Film, Malerei und Video.

  • Dal 28 Al 30 Luglio Si Terrà a Palau Il Festival Internazionale Di Musica
    ISOLE CHE PARLANO Festival internazionale di musica teatro e arti visive IV EDIZIONE PALAU (SS) 28/30 Luglio 2000 organizzato da Comune di Palau e Associazione Sarditudine con il contributo di Regione Autonoma della Sardegna assessorato allo spettacolo il patrocinio di Istituto di Cultura del Giappone Aquarius Travel Agency Cinque Stelle con la partecipazione di Hotel Palau Hotel Piccada Delphina ideazione Agostino Aresu, Giovanni Angeli, Paolo Angeli coordinamento artistico Giovanni Angeli, Paolo Angeli INTRODUZIONE ISOLE CHE PARLANO si pone a modello per chi con un budget "limitato", ma con buone idee, voglia promuovere eventi culturali di grande interesse non ancora noti al grande pubblico. In tre anni di programmazione ISOLE CHE PARLANO ha permesso di vedere ed ascoltare, nei vari spazi allestiti per il festival, circa 80 artisti provenienti da Italia, Catalogna, Corsica, Australia, Repubblica Ceca, Russia, Francia, Giappone (gruppi musicali, compagnie teatrali, mostre fotografiche, cori tradizionali, poeti, scultori, musicologi). La fusione di generi e modalità espressive distanti fra loro, la cura nella proposizione e presentazione delle varie performance, ha permesso negli anni di sviluppare interesse e attenzione verso questo piccolo festival. L'eterogeneità del pubblico e l'attenzione dello stesso verso le diverse proposte, sono state le risposte positive per chi ha creduto che "il mondo dei fruitori" non fosse diviso da barriere invalicabili (un concerto di musica "innovativa" può suscitare interesse ed emozioni, anche in chi ha sempre ascoltato musica pop o tradizionale e viceversa). Ogni edizione ha di fatto segnato il punto di partenza per la successiva (non ci sono mai state fratture nette, ma approfondimenti ed ampliamenti sui panorami artistici presentati).
