For this generation of Christians in the western world, sexuality is the battle being waged in the culture. Traditional marriage is out the window and every manner of sexual perversity is being pushed as good and healthy and normal on TV, in the movies, by the mainstream media, and by the fathers of our city and nation. At the forefront of this battle is homosexuality.It's easy for Christians to see the enemy out thereto see all the ways that the modern tolerance machine is tearing down the bulwark of God's moral law. But what if the culture doesn't lead the church? What if the church leads the culture? What if the real responsibility lies with us?The Grace of Shame exposes the errors the church has made on sexuality over the last several decades, from failing to understand the sin of effeminacy to promoting the ';gay Christian' movement. With reverence for the church universal, and a keen prophetic eye for the sins and failures of our modern church, this book exposes all the ways we have allowed this sin to triumph in the culture at large, and offers hope for the future.
This book presents a theoretical framework to discuss how governments coordinate budgeting decisions. There are two modes of fiscal governance conducive to greater fiscal discipline, a mode of delegation and a mode of contracts. These modes contrast with a fiefdom form of governance, in which the decision-making process is decentralized. An important insight is that the effectiveness of a given form of fiscal governance depends crucially upon the underlying political system. Delegation functions well when there are few, or no, ideological differences among government parties, whereas contracts are effective when there are many such differences. Empirically, delegation and contract states perform better than fiefdom states if they match the underlying political system. Additional chapters consider why countries have the fiscal institutions that they do, fiscal governance in Central and Eastern Europe, and the role of such institutions in the European Union.
An overview of the political and economic issues involved in the formation of budget deficits. The text brings together theoretical models, empirical evidence and case studies to analyze the effect of political institutions, fiscal regulations, and policy decisions on accumulating deficits.
The behaviour of fiscal authorities and their interplay with budgetary institutions are increasingly important areas of economic research, heightened by the move to the single currency in Europe. This volume provides a systematic analysis of the relevant issues.
