This work sets out to demonstrate that the sectarian Qumran document The Rule of the Community, provides linguistic clues which illuminate our understanding of how the author of the Fourth Gospel used truth terminology and expected it to be understood. It establishes that there are significant linguistic similarities shared by these two corpora. While these may be attributed to a development of the common tradition shared by both, as well as the influence ideology, the semantic continuity with the Rule of the Community makes it likely that the author of the Fourth Gospel was familiar with the mode of thought represented in the linguistic matrix of the Qumran literature and that he followed this in articulating his ideas in certain parts of his Gospel.

Does Rox realise the danger? Or does she even know what she is looking for? Arafael is settling down to life as the Countess of Sombersea; she has found her feet in a Duchy fired by the passion and zeal of her tall cousin. It is supposed to be a quiet, formal visit to the Duchess in her crater peak manor; but nothing is ever really quiet and formal when Rox Antasha takes an interest. There is news from the lost province of High Fells; the Shadow Warrior has taken over the old Baronial residence of Winterstorm Castle. He kills anybody who enters the derelict building, his shadowy style of fighting bringing madness before the final blow can fall. Taken together these facts are enough to bring Rox's attention abruptly onto the contested province; the fifth of the Duchy if she manages to get there first with her men. But over the bay, watching her every move, is the rogue count Pantrol Morgan. He has a definite interest in getting a foothold in High Fells, whatever Meredor, the Alderma

Ernest Lash, ein junger Psychoanalytiker aus San Francisco, glaubt an die Wirksamkeit seines Tuns, ist aber andererseits davon überzeugt, daß die klassischen Therapien dringend einer Erneuerung bedürfen. Eines Tages beauftragt ihn die Ethikkommission seines Fachbereichs mit der Untersuchung eines prekären Falls: Er soll die Arbeitsweise eines älteren, sehr berühmten Kollegen namens Seymour Trotter überprüfen, der angeklagt ist, ein Verhältnis mit einer vierzig Jahre jüngeren Patientin gehabt zu haben. Trotter beharrt darauf, daß Sex das einzige Mittel gewesen sei, um die junge Frau vor ihrem selbstzerstörerischen Verhalten zu retten. Zunächst ist Ernest entrüstet. Doch je mehr er sich mit der Sache beschäftigt, desto mehr fasziniert ihn die Idee, jedem Patienten bzw. jeder Patientin eine fallspezifische Behandlung zuteil werden zu lassen.
