Worship and Power - Bok av Sarah Kathleen Johnson - Inbunden

Worship and Power - Bok av Sarah Kathleen Johnson - Inbunden

Power and the Powers - Bok av Andrew Hardy, Richard Whitehouse, m.fl. - Inbunden

Power and the Powers - Bok av Andrew Hardy, Richard Whitehouse, m.fl. - Inbunden

Missio Dei by its very nature requires the church to come to terms with the exercise of power, both internally and externally, as it confronts the world. Tune in to any newscast or glance at the daily newspaper and it immediately becomes clear that the use and abuse of power is a live issue. The more we focus on the twists and turns of current events, the more it appears that uncorrupted exercise of power eludes the human race. All too often we become uneasily aware that there are powers lying behind..

Jesus, Paul, and Power - Bok av Rick F Talbott - Inbunden

Jesus, Paul, and Power - Bok av Rick F Talbott - Inbunden

Jesus of Nazareth and Paul of Tarsus represent two of the most influential figures of history because of the expansion of later Christianity. But Christianity''s historical development includes a checkered and troubling past of abusive power that also impugns both Jesus and Paul. European colonialism carried the \\gospel\\ to the world, claiming Jesus and Paul as architects of its oppressive empire building. Modern churches in America quote Jesus and Paul to inspire, inform, and justify a host..

Mystery of Evolutionary Mechanisms - Darwinian Biology's Grand Narrative of Triumph and the Subversion of Religion - Bok av Robert F Shedinger - Inbun

The Mystery of Evolutionary Mechanisms provides a comprehensive critical reading of the literature of evolutionary biology from Darwin to Dobzhansky to Dawkins, revealing this popular account of evolution to be a grand narrative of Darwinian triumph that greatly overstates the empirical validity of modern evolutionary theory. The mechanisms driving..

For Him Who Has Eyes to See - Bok av Edmund J Rybarczyk - Inbunden

For Him Who Has Eyes to See - Bok av Edmund J Rybarczyk - Inbunden

This historical-theological overview presents the thought of ten theologians and one philosopher in an attempt to give Christians helpful vocabulary concerning beauty and aesthetics. It is time to use beauty and aesthetics for the mission..

The Captivity of Innocence - Bok av Andre LaCocque - Inbunden

The Captivity of Innocence - Bok av Andre LaCocque - Inbunden

In this study-the third panel of a trilogy on J''s tales about evil and innocence in the primeval era-the author turns to Genesis 11:1-9, another parable, this time on the so-called \\Tower of Babel.\\ The Captivity of Innocence analyzes a systemic robotization of society as a way of keeping innocence behind bars, contending that innocence never fails to offend, never fails to stir envy and hate. Here, evil is not wrought by an individual like Cain or Lamech, but by \\all the earth,\\ so..

The Blessing and the Curse - Trajectories in the Theology of the Old Testament - Bok av Jeff S Anderson - Häftad

The Blessing and the Curse - Trajectories in the Theology of the Old Testament - Bok av Jeff S Anderson - Häftad

The \magical power of the spoken word\ is a topic that often comes up in a discussion of biblical blessings and curses. What is the source of social and linguistic power behind these blessings and curses? Many theologians would agree that God can and does bless, but does God also curse? If so, what does that mean to the biblical theology of the Old Testament and the Christian church? Anderson's The Blessing and the Curse applies speech act theory as one way to understand the performative function..

Evidence of mainstream denominational decline virtually throws itself in our faces--growing religious pluralism in North America; the decline over the last half century in the salience, prestige, power, and vitality of Protestant denominational leadership; slippage in mainline membership and corresponding growth, vigor, visibility, and political prowess of conservative, evangelical, and fundamentalist bodies; patterns of congregational independence, including loosening of or removal of denominational..

Paul against the Nations - Bok av Neil Elliott - Häftad

Paul against the Nations - Bok av Neil Elliott - Häftad

Some of the most heated contests around the apostle Paul today concern the effort to understand him wholly \within Judaism,\ and the effort to interpret him over against the culture and ideology of the early Roman Empire. Here, Neil Elliott argues that these two conversations belong together and must be resolved together, by understanding Paul as a Jew living out Israel's ancient hopes under the pressures of Roman imperial power.

Perfection of Freedom - Schiller, Schelling, and Hegel Between the Ancients and the Moderns - Bok av D. C. Schindler - Häftad

The Perfection of Freedom seeks to respond to the impoverished conventional notion of freedom through a recovery of an understanding rich with possibilities yet all but forgotten in contemporary thought. This understanding, developed in different but complementary ways in the German thinkers Schiller, Schelling, and Hegel, connects freedom, not exclusively with power and possibility, but rather most fundamentally with completion, wholeness, and actuality. What is unique here is specifically the interpretation..

Gathered around Jesus - Bok av Eric C Stewart - Inbunden

Gathered around Jesus - Bok av Eric C Stewart - Inbunden

Modern theorists are virtually united in understanding that space encodes social practices and power relations. Those who control space exert their control by means of particular spatial practices. Models of critical spatiality, such as that of territoriality, show how social relationships are predominant in the classification, communication, and control of space. Space is seen as a relational category rather than an absolute category. In this innovative study, Stewart addresses Mark's editorial..
