Download or read book 1 Corinthians written by Luise Schottroff and published by Kohlhammer Verlag. This book was released on 2021-11-17 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1 Corinthian gives us an example how Paul interprets the Tora for Christians from the nations: He tells concretely, sensitively, close to their daily life about the hope against the death. He writes down prayers and songs from the messianic communities of his times. And he contradicts himself - especially in his dealing with women compared to his ideas about how they should be. Luise Schottroff (1934-2015) guides her readers to discover Pauls from anew, digging to his original thoughts through traditional missinterpretations, appropriation, and monopolization. The English version is based on the German 2nd edition. It was translated by Everett R. Kalin, Professor Emeritus for New Testament at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary at Berkely/CA.

Download or read book Tadville written by Joaquin Bowman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tadville by Joaquin Bowman Tadville is the story of growing up with undiagnosed mental illness, written from the perspective and experiences of a younger brother. The story, which spans a fifty-year period, begins in Hollywood, California, in the 1940s, where an aspiring actress forsakes her dream of glamour and remains home with her two boys in a destructive marriage. Infidelity and sometimes violent arguments become routine in the family life the author characterizes as the freak show. Tad, the older boy and subject of the story, enjoys the complete devotion of his mother, who labors to conceal his unusual characteristics, primarily associated with Asperger’s syndrome. When the Bowmans relocate to Pennsylvania, family life eventually dissolves into relationships where love and companionship are used as bargaining chips. Not until the author spends time with a warm and loving aunt and her large family does he realize how broken his family truly is. “Aunt Eleanor, my mother’s sister, was short, motherly, and kind. I envied my cousins, and as a seven-year-old kid, I wondered why our family couldn’t be more like theirs.” The sometimes sad and funny story moves quickly through the years until Tad, as an adult, refuses to relinquish the “game” he imagines himself winning, then finally admits defeat shortly before his death in 1994. Family members look back and remember the fatally flawed person they loved and, at times, feared. The story reveals the conspiracy of silence surrounding his illness and unusual behavior, a mistake that will affect future generations. Tadville, a brother’s story, profiles a world of fantasy, domination, power, and jealousy and will provide compelling reading. Hopefully, telling the story will prove beneficial to families who are struggling with mental health issues along with disorders on the autism spectrum, including Asperger’s.
Download or read book The Color of Madness written by Krystal Black and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Color of Madness is the true story of my eldest sister, Ciska, second of nine offspring. Some may recognize themselves or a loved one or an acquaintance in this individual, who watches the horizon of her hopes recede as she grows older and becomes more aware of her world. After winning a much-coveted scholarship at the age of eleven, Ciskas future promises to be as bright as the firework hurled over the fence into the backyard by neighbors eager to congratulate her and the family. However, like a shooting star, she very briefly lights up the world around her with her brilliance before disintegrating into oblivion. Indeed, her inability to adapt to absurd racial biases will plunge her loved ones into daily havoc and challenge her sanity. Consequently, Ciska repudiates a world that rejects her and seeks refuge among the insane in an attempt to preserve her sanity.
Download or read book Finished Business written by Patrick Dust and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2017-09-09 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever wondered about the connection between psychological and physical illness? We sense that the mind and the body don’t exist in separate spheres, that at some deep level they are fused and interrelate constantly in our daily lives. Finished Business takes our curiosity about this reality to a new level with a passionate focus on two psychosomatic phenomena: fibromyalgia syndrome and an eating disorder. The roots of these conditions are examined in one person’s experience of complex childhood trauma. Employing the interdisciplinary lens offered by the powerful new method of Neuropsychoanalysis, this volume confronts head on the realities of early abuse, lost love, identity dysregulation, and physical illness. Reaching beyond, it forges a means for repair, a healthy autonomy, and an experience of recovery. The memoir of Part One opens up wounds from the past and confronts the demons of childhood. Part Two describes a post-therapy period in which the examined life yields the first fruits of a recovery. Part Three engages some of the most exciting, cutting-edge knowledge of the brain available today and connects critical issues concerning trauma and health with a nascent neuroscience of the whole person. Part Four, titled “Afterthoughts,” deals with memory reconsolidation, epigenetics, dissociation, and the creative unconscious. Finished Business will appeal to those who know the rigors of mind/body challenges, to clinicians, researchers, and indeed, to anyone who has pondered the enigmas of our mesmerizing body/brain/mind existence.

Download or read book What s Wrong with Rights written by Nigel Biggar and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-25 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are natural rights 'nonsense on stilts', as Jeremy Bentham memorably put it? Must the very notion of a right be individualistic, subverting the common good? Should the right against torture be absolute, even though the heavens fall? Are human rights universal or merely expressions of Western neo-imperial arrogance? Are rights ethically fundamental, proudly impervious to changing circumstances? Should judges strive to extend the reach of rights from civil Hamburg to anarchical Basra? Should judicial oligarchies, rather than legislatures, decide controversial ethical issues by inventing novel rights? Ought human rights advocates learn greater sympathy for the dilemmas facing those burdened with government? These are the questions that What's Wrong with Rights? addresses. In doing so, it draws upon resources in intellectual history, legal philosophy, moral philosophy, moral theology, human rights literature, and the judgments of courts. It ranges from debates about property in medieval Christendom, through Confucian rights-scepticism, to contemporary discussions about the remedy for global hunger and the justification of killing. And it straddles assisted dying in Canada, the military occupation of Iraq, and genocide in Rwanda. What's Wrong with Rights? concludes that much contemporary rights-talk obscures the importance of fostering civic virtue, corrodes military effectiveness, subverts the democratic legitimacy of law, proliferates publicly onerous rights, and undermines their authority and credibility. The solution to these problems lies in the abandonment of rights-fundamentalism and the recovery of a richer public discourse about ethics, one that includes talk about the duty and virtue of rights-holders.
Download or read book Kinship and Conquest written by Joanna H. Drell and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians of Medieval Europe have long employed the family as a window through which to explore broader social, political, and economic issues. Drawing primarily on the abundant charter sources in the archive of S.S. Trinità at Cava dei Tirreni, Joanna H. Drell has reconstructed the history of family relationships in the Principality of Salerno from its conquest by the Normans in 1077 to the death of the last Norman king in 1194. In Kinship and Conquest, Drell challenges historians to modify their views on the nature of medieval family structure. Complicated ties of blood and marital kinship enabled the Norman kings to solidify their central authority in the Kingdom of Southern Italy and Sicily. The author finds that in the principality a broad range of kin participated in the management of family property, and that kinship networks remained highly flexible. Drell mines the Cava archive to illuminate not only the composition of the noble families and the nature of kinship networks, but also the extent of genealogical memory, the depth of Norman cultural influence, and the strategies the families used to transfer patrimonial holdings and, hence, political power. One of the first books to integrate the Italian South into the larger history of Medieval Europe, Kinship and Conquest is a novel contribution to the rich historiography on kinship and political power in western Europe.
Download or read book Believarexic written by J. J. Johnson and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asking for help is only the first step Jennifer can’t go on like this—binging, purging, starving, all while trying to appear like she’s got it all together. But when she finally confesses her secret to her parents and is hospitalized at the Samuel Tuke Center, her journey is only beginning. As Jennifer progresses through her treatment, she learns to recognize her relationships with food, friends, and family—and how each relationship is healthy or unhealthy. She has to learn to trust herself and her own instincts, but that’s easier than it sounds. She has to believe—after many years of being a believarexic. Using her trademark dark humor and powerful emotion, J. J. Johnson tells an inspiring story that is based on her own experience of being hospitalized for an eating disorder as a teenager. The innovative format—which tells Jennifer’s story through blank verse and prose, with changes in tense and voice, and uses forms, workbooks, and journal entries—mirrors the protagonist’s progress toward a healthy body and mind.
