Book excerpt: In a series of candid interviews with some of the world's most insightful thinkers Fugitive Faith provides insights on the ecological, spiritual, and social challenges we face today. Political and spiritual leaders, naturalists and scientists, writers and poets: all convey their passionate conviction about the decisive interface between nature and human spirituality, and the practical relationship of spiritual, environmental and community renewal. Most striking in Fugitive Faith is the solid note of hope that these thinkers all share. The basic elements of solutions to our problems are at hand. Taking them up is at once as simple and as difficult as incorporating them in our lives, and working to implement them strategically in society at large. For all those concerned with earth, faith, and culture, Fugitive Faith offers visions and solutions.

Download or read book Fugitive Borders written by Nele Sawallisch and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fugitive Borders explores a new archive of 19th-century autobiographical writing by black authors in North America. For that purpose, Nele Sawallisch examines four different texts written by formerly enslaved men in the 1850s that emerged in or around the historical region of Canada West (now known as Ontario) and that defy the genre conventions of the classic slave narrative. Instead, these texts demonstrate originality in expressing complex, often ambivalent attitudes towards the so-called Canadian Promised Land and contribute to a form of textual community-building across national borders. In the context of emerging national discourses before Canada's Confederation in 1867, they offer alternatives to the hegemonic narrative of the white settler nation.

Download or read book Performing the Faith written by Stanley Hauerwas and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Folksy, eclectic, disarmingly humble, and astonishingly wide-ranging, Hauerwas offers us a provocative reading of Bonhoeffer that, not surprisingly, assimilates him closely to John Howard Yoder. At the same time, Hauerwas replies to recent criticisms of his work by Jeffrey Stout. Contending that truth depends on performance far more than on theory, Hauerwas steps forward as a pacifist gadfly for a more truly faithful church and a more recognizably democratic society." --George Hunsinger, Princeton Theological Seminary "This book shows how lively and fecund Hauerwas's thought remains. A dazzling performance, capable of entertaining and instructing professional theologians as much as those who think the world might be a better place without theologians in it." --Paul J. Griffiths, University of Illinois at Chicago "Stan Hauerwas has done it again! He is able skillfully to blend into his book the passion for truth and justice of two of his greatest influences, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and John Howard Yoder. He takes these heroic advocates for peace into his own present-day struggle for the soul of the American nation. Hauerwas, an admirable Christian pacifist himself, dares Christians to be the 'Jesus people' they claim to be and to follow Jesus into the gospel path of nonviolence." --Geffrey B. Kelly, author of Liberating Faith: Bonhoeffer's Message for Today "Never totally predictable. Always a fresh perspective. And yet once again in these essays--on narrative, politics, Bonhoeffer, and the church--we hear the engaging, discerning, and brilliant voice we have come to know as Stanley Hauerwas." --Mark Thiessen Nation, Eastern Mennonite Seminary "Contending with and learning from the witness of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, whose life is often thought to provide a Christian alternative to pacifism, Hauerwas deepens the account of Christian nonviolence he has been articulating for decades. His theology is strengthened and clarified by his encounter with the exemplary figure of Bonhoeffer." --Alan Jacobs, Wheaton College "Without loss of the provocative edge that has made him a vital and distinctive Christian voice, Hauerwas's Performing the Faith allows him to cast a retrospective eye on his work. At the same time, in a brilliant essay under the title of the book, he develops a profoundly important description of faithfulness." --Dennis O'Brien, University of Rochester
Download or read book Fugitive Texts written by Michaël Roy and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antebellum slave narratives have taken pride of place in the American literary canon. One key aspect of the genre, however, has been left unexamined: its materiality. In Fugitive Texts, Michaël Roy offers the first book-length study of the slave narrative as a material artifact. Drawing on a wide range of sources, he reconstructs the publication histories of a number of famous and lesser-known narratives, placing them against the changing backdrop of antebellum print culture. Published to rave reviews in French, Fugitive Texts illuminates the heterogeneous nature of a genre often described in monolithic terms and ultimately paves the way for a redefinition of the literary form we have come to recognize as "the slave narrative."

Download or read book Fugitive of Faith written by David Mathews and published by Ambassador International. This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when speaking the truth becomes illegal? That is the question Pastor Pete Holloway faces when California implements the Hate Speech Reparation and Elimination Act. When the San Francisco pastor is threatened with fines, reeducation, and incarceration for violating the state's new hate speech law, he chooses to flee. But from what? Truth? Responsibility? God? Or his own sin? As he struggles to remain one step ahead of the law, Pete is forced to confront his options. Should he join the resistance and fight back, remain on the run until the Draconian law can be overturned, or should he return to take his stand and face the consequences? As he wrestles with his conscience, he discovers things hidden deep in his heart which must be addressed before he can find resolution and peace. Is he courageous enough to confront them, or has his journey been in vain? Endorsements As the voice of Conservative Christian politics in Kansas, I am constantly in the bull’s-eye of today’s Godless cancel culture. Author David Mathews, through his artistic gift Fugitive of Faith, teaches me that I rest comfortably in God’s hands. I know this brilliant book will be an incredible gift to you as well. Simply put, Fugitive of Faith is a glorious journey through the perils of our progressive society and an honor to read. State Senator Mark B. Steffen, M.D. Since all but a handful of states have hate crimes laws on the books, this fictional look at how a Bible-believing pastor might deal with being accused of violating the law and face both criminal charges and devastating real world effects is especially relevant. As recent events in Canada clearly illustrate, a day of reckoning for members of the clergy may not be as far away as some Christians believe it to be. Fugitive of Faith will serve as a catalyst for soul searching and spark spirited discussion for Christians in all walks of life! Courtney Montgomery Political blogger at The Cerebral Conservative
