Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key refrain in Reformed theology is that God's Spirit trumpets the message of salvation through Jesus Christ into every nook and cranny of the universe--but how? And in what way does this cosmic truth touch and shape the mundane reality of our lives and our world? In this distillation of his Warfield Lectures, delivered at Princeton Theological Seminary in spring 2014, leading Reformed theologian Cornelis van der Kooi examines the relationship of the Holy Spirit to Jesus Christ. He demonstrates how a fuller understanding of the interplay between Christology and pneumatology can encourage the Christian church to have open eyes and ears for the inbreaking of God's "incredibly benevolent force" into the cosmological emptiness of today's world.

Download or read book White Benevolence written by Amanda Gebhard and published by Fernwood Publishing. This book was released on 2022-05-28T00:00:00Z with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When working with Indigenous people, the helping professions —education, social work, health care and justice — reinforce the colonial lie that Indigenous people need saving. In White Benevolence, leading anti-racism scholars reveal the ways in which white settlers working in these institutions shape, defend and uphold institutional racism, even while professing to support Indigenous people. White supremacy shows up in the everyday behaviours, language and assumptions of white professionals who reproduce myths of Indigenous inferiority and deficit, making it clear that institutional racism encompasses not only high-level policies and laws but also the collective enactment by people within these institutions. In this uncompromising and essential collection, the authors argue that white settler social workers, educators, health-care practitioners and criminal justice workers have a responsibility to understand the colonial history of their professions and their complicity in ongoing violence, be it over-policing, school push-out, child apprehension or denial of health care. The answer isn’t cultural awareness training. What’s needed is radical anti-racism, solidarity and a relinquishing of the power of white supremacy.

Download or read book This Benevolent Experiment written by Andrew John Woolford and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-09 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2017 At the end of the nineteenth century, Indigenous boarding schools were touted as the means for solving the "Indian problem" in both the United States and Canada. With the goal of permanently transforming Indigenous young people into Europeanized colonial subjects, the schools were ultimately a means for eliminating Indigenous communities as obstacles to land acquisition, resource extraction, and nation-building. Andrew Woolford analyzes the formulation of the "Indian problem" as a policy concern in the United States and Canada and examines how the "solution" of Indigenous boarding schools was implemented in Manitoba and New Mexico through complex chains that included multiple government offices with a variety of staffs, Indigenous peoples, and even nonhuman actors such as poverty, disease, and space. The genocidal project inherent in these boarding schools, however, did not unfold in either nation without diversion, resistance, and unintended consequences. Inspired by the signing of the 2007 Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement in Canada, which provided a truth and reconciliation commission and compensation for survivors of residential schools, This Benevolent Experiment offers a multilayered, comparative analysis of Indigenous boarding schools in the United States and Canada. Because of differing historical, political, and structural influences, the two countries have arrived at two very different responses to the harm caused by assimilative education.

Download or read book Jonathan Edwards and the Limits of Enlightenment Philosophy written by Leon Chai and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although most often associated with Puritanism in New England, Jonathan Edwards is in many respects closer to Enlightenment rationality. In this book, Leon Chai explores the connection between Edwards and such figures as Locke, Descartes, Malebranche, and Leibniz, by an analysis of topics that serve to define the nature and limits of rationality itself. The book consists of three parts, each of which begins with a detailed analysis of a crucial passage from a classic Enlightenment text, and then turns to a major theological work by Edwards in which the same issue is examined. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of early American religion, Enlightenment philosophy, and eighteenth-century culture in general.

Download or read book The Philosophers Gift written by Marcel Hénaff and published by Fordham University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French philosopher and anthropologist examines contemporary philosophical conceptions of gift-giving, commercial exchange, and social cohesion. When it comes to giving, philosophers love to be the most generous. For them, every form of reciprocity is tainted by commercial exchange. Thinkers such as Derrida, Levinas, Henry, Marion, Ricoeur, Lefort, and Descombes, have made the gift central to their work, haunted by the requirement of disinterestedness. As an anthropologist as well as a philosopher, Hénaff worries that philosophy has failed to distinguish among various types of giving. The Philosophers’ Gift returns to the seminal work of Marcel Mauss to reexamine these thinkers through the anthropological tradition. Hénaff shows that reciprocity, rather than disinterestedness, is central to ceremonial giving and alliance, whereby the social bond specific to humans is proclaimed as a political bond. From the social fact of gift practices, Hénaff develops an original and profound theory of symbolism, the social, and the relationship between self and other, whether that other is an individual human being, the collective other of community and institution, or the impersonal other of the world. Winner of the French Voices Award for excellence in publication and translation
