Download or read book Reading the Good Book Well written by Jerry Camery-Hoggatt and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state of teaching biblical interpretation in colleges and seminaries is generally a mess, and many conventional approaches can be alarming for religious students. The sources of this difficulty are wide ranging, but a quick summary would include at least the following: jargon that is unnecessarily technical; competing and contradictory methodologies; and a failure on the part of Biblical scholarship to demonstrate the direct relevance of its methods to the pastoral life of the Church. As a consequence, biblical scholarship is often opaque at best and distressing at worst to the student and beginning theologian. And because pastors and lay people are trained within this cobweb of methods, they are often functionally unable to draw clear conclusions from most teaching resources. Jerry Camery-Hoggatt addresses this problem with several solutions: a return to a conscious affirmation of authorial intention as the beginning place for interpretation; a careful examination of the actual workings of communication; a concept of text to include the assumptions and cultural knowledge upon which the text depends for meaningful communication; an examination of the various academic disciplines with an eye toward correlating their conclusions with the necessary activities of reading; and easily accessible language that makes sense to the beginning student and the lay reader alike. Here is a single, accessible volume that explains the basic vocabulary and logic of biblical interpretation, shows how the various methodologies can be fitted together into a seamless interpretive model for exegesis, and then reflects carefully on the implications of that method for the various issues of reading, teaching, reflection, and preaching. Through common and practical examples Jerry Camery-Hoggatt teaches students a way of reading the Bible that replicates the activities the biblical authors expected their readers would perform, and he uses a model that is applicable across linguistic boundaries, genres, and various cultural contexts; that is, throughout the human experience of language there exists a common set of mental activities that can be identified and studied, and these are fundamental to reading and interpreting the Bible. The prose style is conversational, non-technical, and is intended to be inviting to the beginning student, and refreshing for advanced students and teachers.

Download or read book The Dismantling of India written by TJS George and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1947, two months after Independence, TJS George arrived in Bombay. He was nineteen years old, with a degree in English Literature. He sent out job applications––to the Air Force and to the city's English-language newspapers. Only one organization cared to reply, The Free Press Journal. The editor was known to hire anyone who asked for a job, but most new hires were sacked in a fortnight. George was put on the news desk as a sub-editor and eventually became an assistant editor. In Patna, as editor of The Searchlight, he was arrested by the chief minister for sedition. He spent three weeks in Hazaribagh Central Jail. In Hong Kong, he worked for the Far Eastern Economic Review as regional editor; in New York he was a writer for the United Nations population division; and, back in Hong Kong, in 1975, he founded Asiaweek. Six years later, he returned to India and settled in Bangalore. He began a column for Indian Express that ran without a break for twenty-five years, until 2022. His seventy-five years of journalism, concurrent with India's development as an independent nation, make for a unique understanding of events and personalities. Acclaimed for his widely historical, pan-Asian vision, George brings this far-flung experience to a compulsively readable new book, The Dismantling of India. It is the story of India told in 35 concise biographies, beginning with Jamsetji Tata and ending with Narendra Modi.

On the other hand we realized that the house was now too big for just the two of us and its upkeep was taking more time and energy than we wanted to expend. We began to explore our possibilities.

So What Do I Do Now? is a collection of personal stories and practical advice for those of you who are loving your retirement experience, for those of you who are dreading this next phase of your life, and for those of you just beginning to consider retirement.

Download or read book I M so Ready for Life Book 3 written by Joseph Wong and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Choose What Happens to Me. As a parent, you are probably concerned about what the new tomorrow looks for your children amid talk of how technology would fundamentally change the way we live and work. The motivation for this book comes from the simple notion that everything a child needs to know today to prepare for this new tomorrow is already available. The reason they are not exposed to it is that schools have not begun teaching them. This three-book series explains the adult concepts of economics, leadership, and management in ways a child can understand. I taught my daughter Newtons laws of motion when she was just four years old by making her experience it standing in a moving bus. I have no doubt that equipping our children with real-world knowledge earlier in their lives rather than later is key to preparing for this so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution. With this new view of the world, children go into their teen years asking more relevant questions in school about the real world, making them better at creating solutions and adapting to changes. Parents are encouraged to read these books with their children and add their own real workplace examples into these life lessons.
