Download or read book Christianity in a Time of Climate Change written by Kristen Poole and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does climate change have to do with religion and spirituality? Even though a changing environment will have a dire impact on human populations--affecting everything from food supply to health to housing--the vast majority of Americans do not consider climate change a moral or a religious issue. Yet the damage of climate change, a phenomenon to which we all contribute through our collective carbon emissions, presents an unprecedented ethical problem, one that touches a foundational moral principle of Christianity: Jesus's dictate to love the neighbor. This care for the neighbor stretches across time as well as space. We are called to care for the neighbors of the future as well as those of the present. How can we connect the ethical considerations of climate change--the knowledge that our actions directly or indirectly cause harm to others--to our individual and collective spiritual practice? Christianity in a Time of Climate Change offers a series of reflective essays that consider the Christian ethics of climate change and suggest ways to fold the neighbors of the future into our spiritual lives as an impetus to meaningful personal, social, and ultimately environmental transformations.

Download or read book The Word written by John Barton and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a distinguished Oxford scholar and the author of A History of the Bible, an examination of how biblical translation works and why it matters Throughout history, most Jewish and Christian believers have understood scripture not in the languages in which it was first written but rather in their own—in translation. In The Word, acclaimed Bible scholar John Barton explores how saints and scholars have negotiated the profound challenges of translating the Bible while remaining faithful to the original. In addition to considering questions of literal versus free translation, literary style, inclusive language, and more, Barton draws out scriptural translation’s role at critical junctures in religious history. Far from a mere academic exercise, biblical translation has shaped how we answer faith’s most enduring questions about the nature of God, the existence of the soul, and the possibility of salvation.

Download or read book Canon Revisited written by Michael J. Kruger and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the popular-level conversations on phenomena like the Gospel of Thomas and Bart Ehrman’s Misquoting Jesus, as well as the current gap in evangelical scholarship on the origins of the New Testament, Michael Kruger’s Canon Revisited meets a significant need for an up-to-date work on canon by addressing recent developments in the field. He presents an academically rigorous yet accessible study of the New Testament canon that looks deeper than the traditional surveys of councils and creeds, mining the text itself for direction in understanding what the original authors and audiences believed the canon to be. Canon Revisited provides an evangelical introduction to the New Testament canon that can be used in seminary and college classrooms, and read by pastors and educated lay leaders alike. In contrast to the prior volumes on canon, this volume distinguishes itself by placing a substantial focus on the theology of canon as the context within which the historical evidence is evaluated and assessed. Rather than simply discussing the history of canon—rehashing the Patristic data yet again—Kruger develops a strong theological framework for affirming and authenticating the canon as authoritative. In effect, this work successfully unites both the theology and the historical development of the canon, ultimately serving as a practical defense for the authority of the New Testament books.

Download or read book Education at the Edge of Experience written by Marla Morris and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a unique exploration of education at “the edge of experience,” this book investigates how unassimilable concepts can reconceptualize education in order to grapple with what is beyond understanding. Working at the intersection of curriculum theory, philosophy and psychoanalysis, Morris examines how each of these “unassimilable” concepts such as lament, disavowal, breathlessness, and the Kafkaesque point toward currere as the edge of experience. It addresses what Lee Braver calls “the groundless grounds” and what Avital Ronell calls “the quicksand that is philosophy” to approach slippage and breaking points through an interdisciplinary lens. Pointing to an understanding of our largely social ills and extending William F. Pinar’s early work on currere in new and innovative directions, this book will appeal to curriculum theorists, education philosophers, psychoanalysts, and those with interests in the philosophy and theory of education.

Download or read book From Jesus to J Setting written by Sandra Lynn Barnes and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Jesus to J-Setting details the experiences of Black people with diverse sexual identities from ages eighteen to thirty years old. The work examines how the intersection of racial, sexual, gender, and religious identities influence self-expression and lifestyle modalities in this understudied, often hidden population, by exploring how racial, sexual, and religious dynamics play out. Voices in the book illuminate a continuum of decisions-from more traditional (i.e., Black church participation) to nontraditional (i.e., dancing known as J-Setting and spirituality)-and the corresponding beliefs, values, and experiences that emerge under the ever-present specter of racism, homophobia, heterosexism, and for many, ageism. Drawing upon sociology, sociology of religion, black studies, queer studies, inequality, stratification, and cultural studies, Sandra Lynn Barnes explores the everyday lives of young Black people with fluid sexual identities and their everyday forms of individual as well as collective resistance.
