近年來，域外視頻取證日益成為國際民商事司法協助的熱點問題。海牙國際私法會議對域外視頻取證問題高度重視，於2019年正式發佈了《〈海牙取證公約〉下使用視頻鏈接的良好實踐指南》(Guide to Good Practice on the Use of Video-Link under the Evidence Convention，以下簡稱《視頻取證指南》)，為公約框架下視頻取證合作與衝突解決提供了重要意見和建議，引發了國際社會的廣泛關注。本書在闡述國際民事訴訟中域外視頻取證的基本問題的前提下，以《海牙取證公約》、2020年歐盟《關於成員國法院之間民商事案件取證合作的第1783號理事會規則》 (以下簡稱《歐盟取證條例》)為主要視角論述了域外視頻取證的法律程序與規則，並以中美域外取證實踐為例，重點討論了域外視頻取證領域的法律衝突及相關的衝突解決方案，同時也分析了域外視頻取證中證據出境的限制以及權利保護要求。最後針對我國在域外視頻取證領域理論與實踐的現狀與不足，提出立法建議與意見。全文除緒論和結論外，共分五章。 第一章闡述域外視頻取證制度的基本問題；第二章是域外視頻取證的法律程序；第三章是域外視頻取證的衝突及其解決；第四章是域外視頻取證的限制和權利保護問題；第五章提出在百年未有之大變局的時代背景下，構建我國域外視頻取證法律制度。伴隨信息化的潮流，域外視頻取證給國際法治合作帶來機遇，也給國際法層面的制度構建與理論探索帶來挑戰。一個具有中國特色的建立於互相尊重主權原則基礎上的更具開放性和包容性的域外視頻取證法律制度，不僅是對海牙國際私法會議《視頻取證指南》的中國回應，也有助於我國在統籌推進國內法治和涉外法治的大背景下提升涉外法治建設水平，助力我國進一步參與和引領國際法治秩序的發展與變革。

在《重新審思創世記》中，舊約學者敦恩．蓋瑞特（Duane A. Garrett）重新審視創世記的來源與作者問題，對長期主導學界的文獻假說提出深刻而審慎的反思。 蓋瑞特並非簡單否定傳統批判方法，而是細緻檢視其方法論假設、證據運用與解釋限度，指出其中常被忽略的邏輯張力與歷史問題。 本書結合語言學、文學結構與古代近東背景，主張創世記的來源包括家譜來源、祖先故事、談判故事等等；摩西採用而形成原創世記，再由其他編輯者編輯成現在呈現的文本。 蓋瑞特的論述既嚴謹又清晰，為創世記的作者與形成歷程提供一條不同於主流批判模式的研究路徑。 對關心摩西五經研究、聖經詮釋學與舊約神學的讀者而言，本書是一部具挑戰性且啟發性的作品。專業推薦： 「《重新審思創世記》是一本值得一讀的書。本書把過去一百多年來自由派或批判學派對創世記的兩個主要讀經法―─底本說與形式批判，做了很好的摘要與批評。……在本書中作者蓋瑞特主張，應通過來源批判追尋五經特別是創世記的相關來源，來確定其成書的時空背景。……蓋瑞特的論述對福音派聖經成書觀提供強而有力的支持，也對上一世紀自由派與批判學派的聖經形成觀帶來反省的需要。」 ——南神神學院舊約副教授　羅光喜 「本書的副標題「聖經第一卷書的來源與作者」（The Sources and Authorship of the First Book of the Bible）正好點出整本書的論述核心。雖然Garrett教授建構的理論因現存證據的有限而無法獲得全然確證，但他確實提供了一條不同於高等批判的進路，讓讀者看見歷史中的摩西如何深刻影響創世記的形成。」 ——基督教台灣浸會神學院舊約教授暨副校長　劉光啟
