Book excerpt: How is it that America's churches persistently lose ground in their efforts to reach the growing population of our country? How is it that Christianity in America can be credited with a strong political influence in every election since 1980, yet our country continues to spiral out of control spiritually? In A Misplaced Trust, Dr. Will Langford takes a critical look at a serious matter that must be addressed by today's church if it is going to bring spiritual transformation to America. A Misplaced Trust not only identifies issues that must be addressed by Christians today, but it also provides practical suggestions on how we can reverse negative trends. Influencing our country for Christ is needed, and God expects us to have the heart and the desire to represent Him. A Misplaced Trust can help provide insight and support for you as you seek to impact your world for Christ.

Download or read book Organizational Trust written by Roderick M. Kramer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, the topic of trust moved from bit player to center stage in organizational theory and research. Whereas previously it often had been treated as a mediating variable in empirical studies - a variable of secondary interest, at best - trust emerged in the 1990s as a subject deemed important and worthy of study in its own right. Despite the importance of the topic, to date no single volume currently exists that provides the motivated reader with a sound introduction to, and reasonable overview of, this rapidly growing, widely dispersed, multi-disciplinary literature. Indeed, some of the most influential, foundational pieces remain scattered in obscure journals or books, some of which are not easily found or, in some instances, no longer even in print. Thus the individual scholar hoping to come up to speed with this literature currently had nowhere to turn. This reader provides trust scholars and researchers with a handy reference volume, a broad guide for graduate students hoping to understand and possibly contribute to this significant and still-growing literature, and a resource for teachers at the undergraduate level of undergraduate anthropology, economics, political science, psychology, organizational sciences, and sociology courses.

This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Reformation in the sixteenth century, Lutheran traditions have had a great impact on culture and politics in many societies. At the same time Lutheran churches have impacted personal faith, basic morality, and ethics. Modern society, however, is quite different from the time of the Reformation. How should we evaluate Lutheran tradition in today's Western multicultural and post-Christian society? Is it possible to develop a Lutheran theological position that can be regarded as reasonable in a society that evidences a considerable weakening of the role of Christianity? What are the challenges raised by cultural diversity for a Lutheran theology and ethics? Is it possible to develop a Lutheran identity in a multicultural society, and is there any fruitful Lutheran contribution to the coexistence of different religious and nonreligious traditions in the future?

Download or read book The Power of Trust written by Sandra J. Sucher and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ground-breaking exploration of the changing nature of trust and how to bridge the gap from where you are to where you need to be. Trust is the most powerful force underlying the success of every business. Yet it can be shattered in an instant, with a devastating impact on a company’s market cap and reputation. How to build and sustain trust requires fresh insight into why customers, employees, community members, and investors decide whether an organization can be trusted. Based on two decades of research and illustrated through vivid storytelling, Sandra J. Sucher and Shalene Gupta examine the economic impact of trust and the science behind it, and conclusively prove that trust is built from the inside out. Trust emerges from a company being the “real deal”: creating products and services that work, having good intentions, treating people fairly, and taking responsibility for all the impacts an organization creates, whether intended or not. When trust is in the room, great things can happen. Sucher and Gupta’s innovative foundation for executing the elements of trust—competence, motives, means, impact—explains how trust can be woven into the day-to-day and the long term. Most importantly, even when lost, trust can be regained, as illustrated through their accounts of companies across the globe that pull themselves out of scandal and corruption by rebuilding the vital elements of trust.

Download or read book I Me written by Raad Chalabi and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the twelfth in the Ramiz Alkhishins dialogue-based books by author Raad Chalabi. In his newest book I & Me, author Raad Chalabi, through forty-eight stand-alone dialogue scenes, describes an ongoing debate between many different characters on various aspects of life. The author uses fictional dialogues in which one party defends one social norm or belief while another rejects it. This book, as is the case with the authors all other books, takes you in an unstoppable journey down the slopes of randomness with individual choices as the only rudder. What your choices are and when you actually make them is what life is. Once you grasp that the starting point of your downward slope and its final base are not yours to alter, neither are the unpredictable events that confront you on the way down, you will then, and only then, understand how valuable that rudder is. It makes no difference if you think that the base of the downward slope is your final destination to nothing or your gateway to everything. Either way, it is the individual choices that you make during your downward journey that will allow you to reach that base in the manner you wish.

Download or read book Choosing Faith written by John W. Saultz and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A belief is a judgment that we assume to be true when making life decisions. Our beliefs cannot conclusively be proven true or false. Beliefs can be as simple as our preference for food or as profound as our religious beliefs. How are beliefs different from knowledge or opinion? How do beliefs develop and change over time, and how do they become the foundation of our purpose in life? This book is divided into three sections. The first explains how beliefs are formed in childhood and modified and adapted when we become adults. The second section explores different types of belief and introduces the notion of moral beliefs about right and wrong and religious beliefs about the existence and nature of God. The final section of the book explains how beliefs are prioritized into a faith that becomes our framework for making life decisions. The beliefs we hold most dear form the building blocks of our purpose in life. We have the freedom to choose our beliefs, so we have the freedom to choose our purpose. The goal of this book is to help the reader think deeply about this process and explore the meaning of this freedom.

Download or read book The Metaphysics of Trust written by Philip Goodchild and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following Credit and Faith and Economic Theology, this third volume in the series develops a metaphysics which is missing when trust is ordered around economic theories and institutions. Human existence may be conceived according to its temporal dimensions of appropriation, participation, and offering. Engaging with the Western philosophical tradition from the Neo-Pythagoreans and Plato to Heidegger and Arendt, drawing especially from Augustine and Weil, Goodchild offers striking reconstructions of the meanings of economic, political and religious dimensions of life. The outcome is an elaboration of conceptions of wealth, power, contingency, necessity and grace which give a new orientation to human life and endeavour. Goodchild situates this discussion within the current historical era of the breakdown of global financial capitalism. He draws from the Financial Revolution in England as a time of crisis which illuminates our own. Faced with a range of global crises, Goodchild proposes an alternative between strategies for survival: either submission before a Great Machine of Credit as an autonomous, unthinking system for regulating human behaviour or accession to the necessity of grace as a way of empowering the pursuit of wealth, justice and thought.

Download or read book Theologians on Scripture written by Angus Paddison and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The movement that is known as 'theological interpretation of Scripture' reminds us that the reading and exegesis of Scripture is an indispensable part of the theologian's work, not to be reserved to biblical scholars alone. This insight that the reading of Scripture is a theological responsibility is always at risk of being eclipsed by the modern disciplinary divisions between biblical studies, historical theology, and systematic theology. Intended as a contribution to the theological re-engagement with Scripture, this book invites a range of high-profile systematic and constructive theologians to reflect on the role that the reading and interpretation of Scripture plays in their theological work, both professionally and more personally. Spanning a cross-section of theological perspectives contributors reflect on the role of tradition in their reading of Scripture, the company they view as indispensable in their engagement with the text, the place of historical critical study and biblical studies, and the significance of their context. The book will be valued by all those who care for the place of Scripture in theology and the life of the church, as well as those who want an insight into the state of contemporary theology.
