Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume draws upon the author's own experience to highlight the complexities behind the global violations of children's rights. Analysis and description are interwoven to provide a coherent study of the international status of children and the rights which attach to this status, both for those familiar and unfamiliar with international law.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The purpose of this work is to determine the place of Melito's Peri Pascha in the paschal liturgy of the Quartodecimans at Sardis.Its conclusion is that Peri Pascha constitutes the two parts of the Quartodeciman liturgy.
