Aristotelica is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to Aristotle and Aristotelianism through the centuries with a special focus on the texts and textual traditions of Aristotle as a common intellectual background for European and Mediterranean cultures. Filling a substantial gap in existing academic journals, Aristotelica covers the works of Aristotle, with particular attention to his theoretical treatises, their textual constitution, and the entire exegetical tradition, and with an emphasis on philology as an appropriate scholarly approach to philosophical texts. The time span is from Aristotles contemporaries and Greek philosophical literature in Roman times, through the medieval period (Byzantine, Arabic, Latin) and Renaissance, going up to the twentieth century. The journal also considers submissions on the relevance of Aristotelianism to theoretical, epistemological, and ethical debates, as well as to fundamental questions about the establishment, definition, and development of ancient philosophy and science.Submissions, which can be very short or long (there is no word limit), and written in any of the main European languages, must meet the highest scholarly standards and be based on sound methodology. They should contribute significantly to the field by asking innovative questions and reaching well-argued and ground-breaking conclusions.Based on a cooperative agreement between the Universita del Piemonte Orientale and the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (ILIESICNR, Italy), Aristotelica will appear through two channels: Rosenberg & Sellier, a digital publisher with a strong profile in classics; and the ILIESICNR Open Journal System platform.

A Church Worth Building is a thoughtful, biblically grounded exploration of what makes a local church strong, faithful, and enduring. In a time when many churches are tempted to measure success by size, speed, or visibility, this book calls readers back to timeless principles found in the Word of God.Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 1:18 and decades of pastoral experience, Marvin McKenzie reminds readers that Gods primary instrument for reaching the world has always been the local New Testament church. Churches may begin small and labor quietly, but when they are built on biblical conviction and sustained by faithfulness, God uses them far beyond their humble beginnings.This book is not a manual on church growth, marketing, or modern strategy. Instead, it focuses on foundational truths that have strengthened churches across generations. Through clear teaching and steady reflection, McKenzie shows that churches worth building are marked by a shared vision, a faithful testimony, and a long-term commitment to the work God has given them.Each chapter develops one of these essential principles. Readers are encouraged to embrace the vision of the church with conviction rather than convenience, to exclaim that vision through consistent testimony and godly living, and to invest fully in the work through faith, love, and patient hope. Throughout the book, the emphasis remains on faithfulness over flash and obedience over innovation.A Church Worth Building speaks to pastors, church members, church planters, and believers who care deeply about the future of the local church. It offers encouragement to small and growing congregations, reminding them that influence is not determined by numbers but by faithfulness to Christ and His Word.Written in a calm, pastoral style rather than a sermonic tone, this book is ideal for personal reading, leadership training, or group study. It provides perspective for churches facing slow seasons, cultural pressure, or uncertainty about the future, anchoring their confidence in Gods unchanging purposes.Above all, this book affirms a simple but often forgotten truth: God still works through the local church. When churches remain anchored to Scripture, committed to one another, and focused on eternal priorities, they become steady witnesses in an unstable world.A church worth building is one that remains faithfulnot just for today, but for generations to comeuntil Jesus Christ comes again.
