Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Se il Dio del Vecchio Testamento lo si può definire “legislatore”, in quanto stabilisce un patto con l’uomo e da questo patto fa discendere leggi formalizzate, particolareggiate, il Dio del Nuovo Testamento, invece, lo si può chiamare “educatore”, perché non ci detta comandamenti scritti sulle tavole, bensì ci trasmette il suo ammaestramento tramite Cristo e lo imprime nella nostra coscienza. Queste due diverse interpretazioni della figura divina portano con sé un differente modo di intendere: la colpa dell’uomo, il senso del suo pentimento, la possibilità di riscatto. Tutto scaturisce da due distinte letture della natura dell’uomo. Entrambe le visioni di Dio,quella vetero e quella neotestamentaria, però, rapportano l’uomo a Dio in modo tale da far cogliere la nostra fi nitudine e in modo da far avvertire dentro di noi “la disperazione”, per dirla con Kierkegaard, che anima il nostro tentativo di tornare a Lui. L’uomo moderno è ancora capace di tollerare un peso di tale portata? A questo punto, la rifl essione si indirizza verso di noi, uomini del nostro tempo.
Download or read book An Unsettling God written by Walter Brueggemann and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2009-06-02 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pages of the Hebrew Bible, ancient Israel gave witness to its encounter with a profound and uncontrollable reality experienced through relationship. This book, drawn from the heart of foremost Old Testament theologian Walter Brueggemann's Theology of the Old Testament, distills a career's worth of insights into the core message of the Hebrew Bible. God is described there, Brueggemann observes, as engaging four "partners" in the divine purpose. This volume presents Brueggeman at his most engaging, offering profound insights tailored especially for the beginning student of the Hebrew Bible.
Download or read book Faraoni Ebrei Nel nome della Divina Madre written by Celestino Vescera and published by Celestino Vescera. This book was released on with total page 821 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Da diversi anni si è giunti a ritenere che l’Antico Testamento sia stato scritto non da un solo uomo che si riteneva dovesse essere stato Mosè, che doveva essere stato un testimone dei fatti da lui descritti, ma che la Sua compilazione sia avvenuta secoli dopo gli avvenimenti narrati da una scuola di pensiero all’interno della Chiesa primitiva ebraica. Successivamente i risultati delle ricerche archeologiche confortate delle datazioni al radiocarbonio hanno dimostrato che fosse necessaria una riscrittura della storia d’Israele, riscrittura che comunque non incrinava la tesi che uno stato d’Israele potente e unitario fosse realmente esistito sotto Davide e Salomone, e che fosse realmente esistito un ‘Primo Tempio’. Ma la più recente critica mette in dubbio anche il concetto stesso di regno unito, mettendo così in crisi il racconto biblico, negando anche un collegamento tra i regni Israele e ai tempi della loro nascita. Ma l’autore, dopo una lunga ricerca ed in base a quanto da lui rilevato, ipotizza che questo non sia corretto, in quanto ai tempi dei re Davide e Salomone esisteva effettivamente un potente regno di Giuda, ma che non risiedeva a Gerusalemme, così come Salomone fece costruire un monumentale Tempio, ma sempre non a Gerusalemme. L’autore ritiene che questi due re vissero e regnarono in Egitto, e che, come i loro antenati Patriarchi, fossero dei faraoni appartenenti al potente impero Hyksos, che fondarono la XV dinastia ed anche la XXII, entrambe governate da sovrani appartenevano alla discendenza di Terach, il padre di Abramo. Questi importanti personaggi che infine riuscirono ad impadronirsi del potere in Egitto dovevano già avere conquistato un vasto territorio che andava dalla Mesopotamia al fiume Nilo, comprendenti anche il regno di Edom in Transgiordania, dove governarono Seir, che corrispondeva ad Abramo, il figlio Ismaele ed Esaù, che ereditò il trono prendendo in sposa una figlia di Ismaele, che portava una titolatura che comprendeva Maaca-Bashemat.
Download or read book Knowledge and Reality written by P. Parrini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-03-31 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: XIV The stability of a philosophical construction will depend not only upon the solidity of the blocks, of the pillars and architraves that make it up, but also upon the way in which all these parts are connected. Of course, it will not be possible to argue for every single part of a philosophical building: to do so would mean to embark in a virtually endless enterprise. Accordingly, some of the parts of a philosophical building will have to be taken from the literature on the subject as 'ready made' or 'semi-finished' elements, while others will be argued for in the course of building. This is what happened in my work too. In some cases (for in stance, in the case of epistemic relativism), my concern was to illustrate theses which I believed to be sufficiently consolidated, rather than to ar gue for them. In other cases - where I was directly engaged in building the theory that I want to fonnulate - I did exactly the opposite. This is what I have tried to achieve, for example, for those proper architraves of my construction, viz. the connection between scepticism and metaphysi cal realism. and the thesis of the nonnative value of the fundamental epistemological notions (truth, objectivity, and rationality).

Download or read book Innovative Learning Models for Prisoners written by Francesca Torlone and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prison education should be a top priority issue in most societies. Prison conditions must not infringe human rights and dignity and must offer meaningful treatment programmes in order to support inmates in their rehabilitation and reintegration in society. The use of ICTs within a penitentiary context plays a crucial role in that. The present Volume looks at the learning potential in prisons and reports on innovative (e-)learning pathways for basic skills education as designed and tested in Cyprus, Greece, Italy and Romania. Research investigated on what counts as ‘educational’ in such a complex context and how to combine relevant pieces in a ‘learning mosaic’ (the broad range of any learning opportunity across it). This Volume argues that such an approach may be adopted in a wider European perspective within the frame of dynamic security.
Download or read book Evaluating the Effectiveness of Correctional Education written by Lois M. Davis and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After conducting a comprehensive literature search, the authors undertook a meta-analysis to examine the association between correctional education and reductions in recidivism, improvements in employment after release from prison, and other outcomes. The study finds that receiving correctional education while incarcerated reduces inmates' risk of recidivating and may improve their odds of obtaining employment after release from prison.
Download or read book The Myth of the Other written by Franco Rella and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rella came of age as a philosopher in Italy during the period of the "crisis of reason" or more generally the exhaustion of classical rationality in its authority to structure experience. For Rella, unlike many others, the tensions of the crisis are productive. In The Myth of the Other, he presents a unique perspective on four seminal French thinkers: Lacan, Foucault, Deleuze, and Bataille. Moe's masterful translation brings this remarkable Italian thinker to American readers for the first time. This slim book mayvery well change the way American scholars think about the crisis of the other and the self coming our of French poststructuralism.

Download or read book Our Enduring Values Revisited Librarianship in an Ever Changing World written by Michael Gorman and published by American Library Association. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the almost 15 years since Our Enduring Values was published, there has been a sea change in the way much of the world thinks about and uses libraries. Young librarians and seasoned LIS professionals alike are experiencing increasing pressure to adjust to new economic, societal, and technological demands amidst the often-dire rhetoric currently surrounding the future of our institutions. In this stirring manifesto, public intellectual, librarian, and philosopher Gorman addresses head on the “existential panic” among library professionals caused by the radical shift in how libraries are viewed. He reconnects readers with the core values that continue to inspire generations of library professionals and scholars—while making the case that these values are doubly crucial to hold on to in the brave new shifting world of librarianship. Destined to become another classic of library literature, this book explores such contemporary issues as The growing emphasis of the library as a cultural institution, placing libraries within their cultural context as gathering places for learning, access to information, and communityThe impact of technological innovations on core values such as access and stewardshipLibrary places and spaces of the futureHow the mass digitization of books, archives, and other materials affects the purpose and function of librariesIntellectual freedom and privacy in the era of the PATRIOT Act, Wikileaks, and Edward SnowdenThe role of libraries as both champions and facilitators of social justiceInspirational yet clear-sighted, Gorman emphatically reaffirms the importance of libraries and librarians while proposing a path for future survival and growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the western world public opinion has played an important role in shaping criminal justice policy. At the same time opinion polls repeatedly demonstrate that the public knows little about crime and justice, and holds negative views of the criminal justice system. This book, consisting of chapters from leading authorities in the field, is concerned to address this problem, and draws upon research in a number of different countries to address the issues arising from this state of affairs. Its main aims are: to explore the changing and evolving nature of public attitudes to sentencing to examine the factors that influence public opinion and to bring together recent international research which has demonstrated ways in which public attitudes can be changed to propose specific strategies to respond to the crisis in public confidence in criminal justice.
