At the Cross - Richard H. Allen - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

At the Cross - Richard H. Allen - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In volume two of At the Cross, Richard Allen focuses on the sanctification that follows a believer’s initial commitment to Christ. The cross of Christ represents the spiritual, physical, and metaphoric reasons for our existence. At the Cross is a line-by-line examination of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as these apostles describe events from the Garden of Gethsemane to the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. This book is written for both new and seasoned believers so they may find direction for, and discover the ramifications of, that commitment. At the Cross is also written for nonbelievers so they can see why believers, from the martyrdom of Christ to the most recent Chinese Christian jailed and tortured for his faith, would forfeit their lives and liberty rather than deny their Savior.

At the Cross - Richard H. Allen - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The cross of Christ represents the spiritual, physical, and metaphoric reasons for our existence. Old Testament scripture foreshadows Christ and his sacrifice at the cross. New Testament scripture reiterates that Old Testament vision as we are led to the singularly most significant event in the history of mankind. At the Cross is a line-by-line examination of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as these apostles describe events from the Garden of Gethsemane to the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. This book is written for both new and seasoned believers so they may find direction for their commitment and the ramifications of that commitment. At the Cross is written for non-believers so they can see why believers from the martyrdom of Christ to the most recent Chinese Christian jailed and tortured for his faith would forfeit their lives and liberty rather than deny their Savior.

One More River to Cross - Nigel I. Malcolm - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

One More River to Cross - Nigel I. Malcolm - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In One More River to Cross, Professor Nigel I. Malcolm argues that the rhetoric of W.E.B. Du Bois contributed to a sense of individual and group failure among African Americans. Du Bois also created a need to explain the reasons for the failure of the group, as well as that of individuals within the group, specifically those within a segment of the black population deemed ''the talented tenth.'' Professor Malcolm''s work explores not only the root causes of this sense of failure among Blacks, but also the way in which some members of the talented tenth seek to cope with failure. Critiquing the writings of Derrick Bell, Randall Robinson, and Shelby Steele, Professor Malcolm reveals the ways in which these authors explain the choice of an individual or a society between consolation and/or compensation for perceived failures among Blacks. He argues that whether an author emphasizes the past or the present, the spiritual or the material, the self or the society, the inevitable result is a powerful rhetoric with implications for the future of race relations, as well as advancement among Blacks in America. The discussion of rhetoric is tied into the failure of the post-civil rights era and to W.E.B. Du Bois''s earlier discussions of the talented tenth and its role among Blacks.

Multiculturalism in a Cross-National Perspective - Michael A. Burayidi - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Multiculturalism in a Cross-National Perspective - Michael A. Burayidi - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a discussion of multiculturalism from a global perspective. It progresses from a discussion of the ideological and philosophical arguments for multiculturalism through its political, public policy, and socio-economic dimensions. Multicultural practices from Canada, Germany, India, Israel, Nigeria, Rwanda, the United Kingdom, and the United States are discussed. The response to multiculturalism differs from one country to the other and is influenced by the political context, rules of immigration, colonial legacy, domestic institutional structures, and pressure from interest groups. Because multiculturalism is a contentious issue as groups vie for limited resources, the debate on multiculturalism will be a heated one. Governments can facilitate the process by creating an environment that enables the exchange of ideas without conflict and antagonism.

Come Along - Jacinta Respondowska - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Quest for Confirmation, the second volume of the series Come Along: We Are Truth-Bound, is a cross-examination of the concepts derived in Volume One, A Dialogue and Dialectic: Bridging the Great Epistemic Divides. The cross-examination is conducted by means of a dialogue with a representative thinker from each of the related bodies of knowledge. The study reveals reality to be an intricate, harmoniously-integrated whole and terminates in "An Epistemological Atlas" that depicts the major processes of human knowledge in their application to different disciplines. The process itself exposes the latter to be the stepping stones of our mind''s ascent to the ultimate truth. In light of this understanding, the unresolved controversies in philosophy gain a new degree of clarity and reveal their relevance to human life. This volume, a work in epistemology that encompasses human knowledge in general, lends itself to different courses but is of special significance to philosophy, theology, and physics.

English-Spanish Translation, through a Cross-Cultural Interpretation Approach - Francisco Castro Paniagua - Bog - University Press of America -

English-Spanish Translation, through a Cross-Cultural Interpretation Approach - Francisco Castro Paniagua - Bog - University Press of America -

As translation involves more than mere mechanics but as a discipline tied to cultural understanding, translators must focus on the dissimilarities and incongruities between the source and target societies, as well as their languages. Francisco Castro-Paniagua has written a book that will enable those involved in this process to begin to understand the differences between the Anglo-Saxon and Hispanic cultures in a more cohesive manner. Drawing from LZvi-Strauss, Paz, Hymes, among others, the author focuses first on a general theory of the two cultures, and then discusses their most basic traits. The work concludes by analyzing the published translations of two works.

Form of God, Form of a Servant - Daniel J. Fabricatore - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Form of God, Form of a Servant - Daniel J. Fabricatore - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Form of God, Form of a Servant examines the Greek noun morphe and seeks to discover Paul''s meaning when he portrayed Christ as existing in the ''form of God'' as well as taking on the ''form of a servant'' in Philippians 2:6-7. This book adopts a synchronic approach to lexical semantics, and examines a cross section of Greek writers who use morphe from the classical period up through the first century A.D. The book also looks at how morphe has been interpreted throughout the church age, before exegetically examining the passage and interpreting the term in its context.

The Possibility of Anthropological Fideism - D. Z. Zhong - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Possibility of Anthropological Fideism - D. Z. Zhong - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In this book, D. Z. Zhong establishes a methodological principle for cross-cultural research, called anthropological fideism. While anthropologists take for granted that natives don''t really believe the unintelligible or inexplicable things they say, and what they say should express a deeper social meaning, Zhong contends that if we have a translation manual that can interpret a foreign language, and if natives are asserting honestly, then what natives say still express natives'' belief, no matter how absurd it seems. His anthropological fideism entails that in fact we can, and indeed we should, happily live with others'' differences while taking them literal.

Love and Sex - Richard L. Rapson - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Love and Sex - Richard L. Rapson - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In this volume, noted scholars Elaine Hatfield and Richard Rapson focus on the cross-cultural research concerning the passionate beginnings of relationships: how people meet, fall in love, make love, and fall out of love, usually only to risk it all over again. Through in-depth analysis and astute assessment, they compare the way cultures try to set rules for these incendiary matters. Two main questions addressed are: ''What seems to be biological and universal?'' and ''What seems to be socially constructed and transient?'' Taking a historical perspective, the authors ask where different societies, and the world itself, are headed?

Uriah - - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

This book is an edited transcript of over 900 pages of testimony, charges, interrogatories, examinations, and cross-examinations of many of the witnesses for and against Navy Captain Uriah Phillips Levy at the Naval Court of Inquiry in 1857. The goal was to separate Captain Levy from the United States Navy after forty-five years of service. The magnitude of the anti-Semitic attitude amongst certain naval officers during that period of history is indicated in these transcripts. The historic chain of events and Levy''s subsequent contribution to the U.S. Navy and American history make this a valuable addition to the literature.

War Wisdom - Christian P. Potholm Ii - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

War Wisdom: A Cross Cultural Sampling is a unique combination of directory and analysis. It provides a relevant “universe” of quotations, together with their authors, about war from various ages and across a large number of societies including those found in China, Japan, Persia, Mongolia, Europe, and America (both North and South), as well as Native American nations and Africa. A lengthy introductory essay presents and analyzes a dozen relevant themes found throughout those cultures, themes which show a pattern of very widespread, if not universal, appeal. Of particular relevance is the author’s engagement with the conflicting wisdom pertaining to war found within the same society as well as common themes appearing across cultures, societies, and time frames.

Of Intense Brightness - - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Of Intense Brightness - - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

"Be uncommon Christians . . . that is, eminently holy, self-denying, cross-bearing, Bible, everyday Christians." So James Brainerd Taylor (1801–1829) encouraged others to be, and so he strived to be himself. Of Intense Brightness reveals aspects of Taylor''s uncommon Christianity by allowing the Princeton and Yale-educated evangelist to speak for himself. By means of forty-five selected and edited letters and journal entries of Taylor''s (written from ages fourteen to twenty-seven), readers will obtain a unique glimpse into the inner workings of an evangelical Protestant spirituality that was, according to nineteenth-century Princeton Seminary professor Samuel Miller, "so uniform, that we had only, as it were, one face, and that of intense brightness to behold."

Leavis and Lonergan - Joseph Fitzpatrick - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Leavis and Lonergan - Joseph Fitzpatrick - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

This book illustrates the value of the cross-fertilisation of literary criticism with philosophy, something Leavis advocated in his later writings. Lonergan’s epistemology of Critical Realism supports Leavis’s account of how we reach a valid judgment concerning the worth of a poem or literary text and his exploration of the relationship between subjectivity and objectivity illustrates how close engagement with serious literature can be considered morally beneficial, something Leavis passionately believed in. Leavis and Lonergan are at one in providing convincing arguments against Cartesian dualism and the dominant positivist philosophies of their times. And Leavis’s method and practice as a literary critic, which he developed independently of Lonergan, exemplify Lonergan’s epistemology as applied to literature and, in this way, illustrate its versatility and fruitfulness.
