Download or read book Living with Risk and Danger written by Mikkel Gabriel Christoffersen and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contemporary world is marked by a sense of vulnerability not seen since the end of the Cold War. Climate change, migration, and political instability make people feel the inherent vulnerability of human life. Concepts of "risk" and "danger" are as relevant now as ever before for illuminating contemporary life. Yet, what changes in human lives if one interprets existence with "risk" and "danger" from the perspective of Christian faith? Does the Christian symbol system offer orientation for human lives in a time of crisis? Exploring the work of leading contemporary thinkers, Danish theologian Mikkel Gabriel Christoffersen develops a rich and varied account of Christian doctrine that enables human beings to live with risk and danger, in all vulnerability, with gratitude, courage and care for others. Christoffersen develops an interdisciplinary approach that allows him to draw upon sociological and anthropological reflections on life lived whilst facing risks and dangers. He brings these findings into conversation with Scandinavian, Anglo-American, and German theologians of risk. The result of his endeavor is a Trinitarian theology of risk that explores the extent to which one can consider the cross of Christ a risk of the incarnation rather than its very purpose. Focusing on vital existential questions makes Christoffersen's considerations vibrant and relevant to scholars and lay-people with an open-minded, intellectual interest in contemporary Christian theology.

Download or read book Living Beyond the Danger Zone written by Ronald D. Rogers and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Ron Rogers, adventurer, naturalist and extraordinaire. His guardian angel and conversations with God have accompanied him as he found continual excitement, whether deliberately pursued in foreign lands or encountered in his own backyard. Come along on remarkable escapades as Ron houses and handles venomous snakes, fights off lurking sea creatures intent on taking his life, deals with bandits and bands of machete-wielding natives. Follow him as he recounts astonishing and often harrowing incidents as he flirts with death in abyssal mine shafts, defies glaciers, experiences starvation, and flees from the jaws and claws of Komodo Dragons in Indonesia, and finds himself crying out to God in desperation and in gratitude. Ron's many photos further document the selected miraculous episodes described within this volume. If you weren't a believer before reading this book, reliving the life-threatening and life-changing incidents with Ron surely will compel you to ponder the occurrence of miracles in your own life, and thereby ultimately inspire you to seriously consider God's existence. The author's undying thirst for adventure is so much a part of Ronald D. Rogers that he cannot imagine leading the mundane life that most people do. At the same time, spiritual enlightment, development and appreciation for the power of God through intervention, has guided his journey for life. Now in his mid-sixties, though still plagued with health problems, Ron teaches young people how to appreciate God's creations in the natural world that he so enjoys. He now searches to perpetuate his stead upon his retirement from earthly existence. Presently, Ron and his wife reside in the mountains of northern California glorifying God with his personal natural history museum.

Download or read book RADICAL LIGHT written by Sylvia Bennett and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-02-24 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second book of the Real Magic series continues to explore the ancient Hermetic Teachings as “A mental art—the art of using consciousness itself as the tool for creating changes in consciousness.” What does the Hermetic axiom “as above, so below” really mean? The relationship between macrocosm (above) and microcosm (below) is the key to the Hermetic Teachings. Macrocosm refers to the Eternal Reality of Light; the realm of God. Microcosm is its reflection; a fragmentation of Light; the world of human existence and human ego. The core of the Hermetic Teachings for centuries has been focused on transforming the fragmented body of Light in human consciousness and uniting below with above.

The author and her husband, Walter Stankievich, participate in stealthy meetings with dissidents behind the Iron Curtain; and at a Congress in Minsk, where the Foreign Minister warns the emigres against demanding greater changes.

Download or read book Dangerous Love written by Chad Ford and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Chad Ford reminds us that humanity lies within all of us, and although conflict is everywhere in today's world, we have the tools we need to overcome obstacles and to thrive. This is a fantastic, timely book that I highly recommend." —Steve Kerr, Head Coach, Golden State Warriors Knowing how to transform conflict is critical in both our personal and professional lives. Yet, by and large, we are terrible at it. The reason, says longtime mediator Chad Ford, is fear. When conflict comes, our instincts are to run or fight. To transform conflict, Ford says we need to turn toward the people we are in conflict with, put down our physical and emotional weapons, and really love them with the kind of love that leads us to treat others as fellow human beings, not as objects in our way. We have to open ourselves up with no guarantee that anyone on the other side will do the same. While this can feel even more dangerous than conflict itself, it allows us to see the humanity of others so clearly that their needs and desires matter to us as much as our own. Ford shows dangerous love in action through examples ranging from his work in the Middle East to a deeply moving story about reconciling with his father. He explains why we disconnect from people at the very time we need to be most connected and the predictable patterns of justification and escalation that ensue. Most importantly, he gives us a path to practice dangerous love in the conflicts that matter most to us.
Download or read book Danger in the Field written by Geraldine Lee-Treweek and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of qualitative inquiry means that researchers constantly have to deal with the unexpected, and all too often this means coping with the presence of danger or risk. This innovative and lively analysis of danger in various qualitative research settings is drawn from researchers' reflexive accounts of their own encounters with 'danger'. An original take on the ever-popular topic of the ethics of research, this pioneering book expands the common sense use of the term to encompass not just physical danger, but emotional, ethical and professional danger too, with the authors paying special attention to the gendered forms of danger implicit in the research process. From the physical danger of researching the night club 'bouncer' scene to the ethical dangers of participant observation in an old people's home, these international contributions provide researchers and students with thought provoking insights into the importance of a well chosen research design.
Download or read book The Cultural Pragmatics of Danger written by Carsten Levisen and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the problems and challenges of studying the discourse of "danger" cross-linguistically and cross-culturally, and proposes the cultural pragmatics of danger as a new field of inquiry. Detailed case studies of several linguacultures include Arabic, Chinese, Danish, English, German, Japanese and Spanish. Focusing on global and local contexts surrounding “living in dangerous times”, this book showcases how the new model of cultural pragmatics can be used to illuminate cultural meanings in discourse. Unlike the universalist approaches to pragmatics, cultural pragmatics focuses on understanding the linguacultural logics of discourse, and in the case of “danger”, the multiple cultural logics around which the themes and domains of “danger” revolve. The approach makes use of natural semantic metalanguage (NSM) as its principal analytical tool, and concepts such as “cultural keywords” and “cultural scripts” figure prominently as bearers of culture-specific meanings. The book will be of interest to students of pragmatics and discourse studies, researchers in cultural and cognitive semantics, anthropological linguistics, global humanities, political rhetoric and environmental studies, as well as linguists working in applied areas, such as risk and disaster studies, crisis and emergency communication.
Download or read book Chemical agriculture and pollinators signs of a Planet in danger written by Giuseppe Zicari and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bees, that have inhabited the Planet for over 100 million years, are the common thread that tells the story of various ecological challenges such as the reduction of biodiversity, climate change, soil degradation, and energy transition. Paradoxically, agriculture is one of the major causes of irreversible and, therefore, unsustainable changes such as global warming and the extinction of pollinators from which it derives its benefits and wealth. The massive use of fossil fuels, the distribution of poisons such as pesticides (persistent, toxic, and bioaccumulative), the loss of fertility in monocultures of plants selected to satisfy economic needs, are some of the main causes of an ecologically unsustainable food production system. The book tries to show a different vision of the World we are building, a story of backstories and underestimated dangers. This book received two prizes: "Steli di Pace" (Stems of Peace) by the Union of European Journalists and Communicators in 2023 and it was the winner of the "Concorso Nazionale per la divulgazione scientifica Kerit-LC Edizioni" (National Competition for science dissemination) in 2024.
