Amara, a fiery princess from the Chola kingdom, and Vira, a stoic prince of Pandyia, find themselves locked in a bitter conflict that has spanned generations. A stolen necklace, a web of deceit, and years of bloodshed have fueled the animosity between their people. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when Amara is forced into an arranged marriage with Vira. Thrust together by duty, they soon discover a shared yearning for peace. As they delve into the forgotten history of the war, a shocking truth comes to light – the necklace, a symbol of Pandyian pride, was never stolen, but a sacrifice made for peace. Determined to heal the wounds of the past, Amara and Vira forge a fragile alliance. Amara, with her sharp wit and knowledge of Chola customs, becomes a bridge between the two cultures. Vira, a warrior prince with a growing respect for diplomacy, stands by her side. Together, they face opposition from both sides – those who profit from war and those clinging to the bitter memories of the past. Their journey takes them from the opulent halls of the palace to the heart of a brewing rebellion. Amara, risking her life, ventures into enemy territory to speak directly to the rebels, to show them the human cost of war and the potential for a brighter future. Vira, leading a small band of loyal soldiers, becomes her protector and confidante. As they navigate treacherous landscapes and political intrigue, their personal bond deepens. Duty and love become intertwined, and a question arises – can their newfound love bridge the ancient divide between their kingdoms? Will they succeed in bringing peace to their warring lands, or will the echoes of war drown out their pleas for unity? This captivating tale of love, sacrifice, and the enduring power of truth will transport you to a bygone era where courage, compassion, and a shared vision can rewrite history. It's a story that explores the themes of cultural understanding, the power of forgiveness, and the transformative potential of love in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

Download or read book Morality in Context written by Wolfgang Edelstein and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-07-25 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morality in context is a timely topic. A debate between philosophers and social scientists is a good way to approach it. Why is there such a booming interest in morality and why does it focus on context? One starting point is the change in the sociostructural and sociocultural conditions of modern societies. This involves change in the empirical conditions of moral action and in the social demand on morality. As these changes are accounted for and analyzed in the social sciences, new perspectives emerge that give rise to new ways of framing issues and problems. These problems are best addressed by way of cooperation between philosophers and social scientists. As Habermas (1990) has pointed out in a much cited paper, philosophers depend on social science to fill in the data they require to answer the questions raised by philosophy in its "placeholder" function. The reverse also holds true: Social science needs the conceptual clarifications that philosophy can provide. With respect to morality, such mutual interchanges are of particular importance the contributions to this book show convincingly.

Download or read book Living Lawfully written by Z. Bankowski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to explore what it means to live a life under the law. Does a life of law preclude love and does a life of love preclude law? Part of the theme of the book is that social questions also raise individual moral and ethical questions; that to live lawfully implies both a question of how I should live in my relations with my fellows and how society should be organised. These questions must be looked at together. The book explores these questions and in looking at the articulation of law and love touches upon debates in personal morality, aesthetics, epistemology, social and political organisation, institutional design and the form and substance of law. It raises questions that are of interest to students and those working in law, theology, and social and political theory.

Download or read book Exercises in New Creation from Paul to Kierkegaard written by T. Wilson Dickinson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-27 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unfolds a vision for philosophical theology centered on the practices of the care of the self, the city, and creation. Rooted in Paul’s articulation of the wisdom of the cross, and in conversation with ecological, radical, and political theologies; continental philosophy; and political ecology, it addresses the challenge of injustice and ecological catastrophe. Part one reads 1 Corinthians as an exercise in reading and writing that shapes and changes relationships and capabilities. Part two follows this alternative path for theology through Derrida and Kierkegaard, and neglected trajectories in Origen, Augustine, and Luther. Along the way, reading and writing are explored as exercises that transform selves, communities, and even habitats. They are creaturely acts that can scandalize the dominant orders of consumption and competition for the ends of love and justice. This is a philosophical theology engaged with political ecology, exercises that help cultivate new creation.

Download or read book From Technicians to Teachers written by Leon Benade and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Technicians to Teachers provides theoretical and practical reasons for suggesting that widespread, international curriculum reform of the post-1990 period need not deprofessionalise teaching. The widely held deprofessionalisation thesis is both compelling and fatalistic, leading to a despairing sense that teachers are either no more than technicians, or that they can be reprofessionalised through definitions of 'effective teachers' promoted by the reforms. However, there are many teachers who do not see their work in either of these ways. The book is structured around an in-depth case study detailing the implementation of The New Zealand Curriculum in that nation - one of the best international examples of neoliberal reform. Benade argues that curriculum policy can and should be analysed critically, while pointing out the dangers for ethical teachers that can exist in national or state curricula. Energising and inspiring, this book reminds teachers and teacher educators that although they work in a globalised context, their own role is fundamental and has a profoundly ethical basis, despite the negative impacts of three decades of education reform.

Download or read book A History of Pastoral Care in America written by E. Brooks Holifield and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, for the first time, the development of pastoral care as a discipline has been documented. Dr. Holifield details the shift in emphasis from saving souls to supporting individuals in self-realization, and in the process raises thought-provoking questions about the preoccupation with psychological methodology evident in modern society and clergy. Every pastor wittingly or unwittingly adopts some 'theory' of pastoral counseling, whether it be derived from the seventeenth century or from the twentieth, says Dr. Holifield. From colonial America's intellectual approach to today's therapeutic self culture, he explores those theories. Theological, social, economic, and psychological threads are interwoven with fascinating conversational examples to show how Protestantism helped to form--and was influenced by--changing social orders. Broad in scope, scholarly in detail, yet immensely readable, this is an important book for clinical pastoral educators, students, professionals--everyone interested in church and social history.
