Download or read book Sacra Pagina 1 2 and 3 John written by John Painter and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Johannine Epistles are today read as an important part of the Johannine literature. Yet the meaning of the text is often unclear. Part of the problem arises because, although 1 John is called an Epistle, it lacks the formal marks of an Epistle. In 1, 2, and 3 John, John Painter illuminates the relationship 1, 2, and 3 John have to each other and to the Gospel. Painter explains the historical context of the Johannine Epistles using a socio-rhetorical approach. The writings are shown to reflect a situation of conflict and schism within the Johannine community; they seek to persuade the readers of the truth of the writer's message. In this truth, the readers are encouraged to abide if they would have the assurance of eternal life. Painter also examines the inseparable connection between belief and ethical life in active love for one another. Through the socio-rhetorical approach Painter brings to light the continuing relevance of these writings. 1, 2, and 3 John is divided into two parts. Chapters under 1 John are "Introduction to the Exegesis of 1 John," "Outline of 1 John," "First Presentation of the Two Tests (1:6-2:27)," "Excursus: Sin and Sinlessness," "Excursus: Love of the Brother/Sister: of One Another," "Excursus: The Antichrist," "Second Presentation of the Two Tests (2:28-4:6)," "Third Presentation of the Two Tests (4:7-5:12)," "Conclusion (5:13-21), and " Excursus: 'A Sin Unto Death.'" Chapters under 2 and 3 John are "2 John," "Introduction to the Exegesis of 2 John," "Outline of 2 John," "Prescripti 2 John 1-3," "Body of the Letter (4-11)," "Notice of Intention to Visit (12)," and "Final Greetings (13)," "3 John," "Introduction to the Exegesis of 3 John," "Outline of 3 John," "Prescript: 3 John 1-2," "Body of Letter (3-12)," and "Final Greetings (13-15)." John Painter is the Foundation Professor of Theology at Charles Sturt University in Canberra, Australia.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An insider account of activists, politicians, educators, and everyday citizens working to change minds, bridge divisions, and fight for democracy—from disinformation fighters to a leader of Black Lives Matter to Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and more—by the best-selling author of Winners Take All and award-winning former New York Times columnist “Anand Giridharadas shows the way we get real progressive change in America—by refusing to write others off, building more welcoming movements, and rededicating ourselves to the work of changing minds.” —Robert B. Reich, best-selling author of The System The lifeblood of any free society is persuasion: changing other people’s minds in order to change things. But America is suffering a crisis of faith in persuasion that is putting its democracy and the planet itself at risk. Americans increasingly write one another off instead of seeking to win one another over. Debates are framed in moralistic terms, with enemies battling the righteous. Movements for justice build barriers to entry, instead of on-ramps. Political parties focus on mobilizing the faithful rather than wooing the skeptical. And leaders who seek to forge coalitions are labeled sellouts. In The Persuaders, Anand Giridharadas takes us inside these movements and battles, seeking out the dissenters who continue to champion persuasion in an age of polarization. We meet a leader of Black Lives Matter; a trailblazer in the feminist resistance to Trumpism; white parents at a seminar on raising adopted children of color; Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez; a team of door knockers with an uncanny formula for changing minds on immigration; an ex-cult member turned QAnon deprogrammer; and, hovering menacingly offstage, Russian operatives clandestinely stoking Americans’ fatalism about one another. As the book’s subjects grapple with how to call out threats and injustices while calling in those who don’t agree with them but just might one day, they point a way to healing, and changing, a fracturing country.

Download or read book Anbeshi 2011 Status and Dimension of Violence against Women Reality Revealed written by Retika Rajbhandari and published by Women's Rehabilitation Center (WOREC). This book was released on 2011 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peace time violence is as debilitating as that of war (Scheper- Hughes and Bourgois, 2003). This statement resonates deeply with all the women who have allowed the WOREC Anbeshi team to document the violence they have suffered throughout the year. Nepal is trying to build peace after a decade long armed conflict. The most recent development of the appointment of Dr. Babu Ram Bhattarai as the new Prime Minister suggests a positive direction to the current stalemate that Nepal has witnessed over the past one and a half years in terms of writing the constitution. In this larger complicated political process, women in Nepal still are only at the fringe. The marginality of the Nepali women could not be better stated than through the sharing of the everyday violence they face. Domestic violence is by far the most sensitive form of violence that Nepali women encounter. Peace is in the process of being materialized in the Nepali polity. However, the peace that the Nepali women envision appears to be only a far-fetched dream. Violence against women is a manifestation of unequal power relations between women and men. It is both a result and a cause of gender inequality. It refers to violent acts that are primarily or exclusively committed against women. The United Nations General Assembly defines VAW as “any act of gender based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or mental harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life” (United Nations, 1993). People all over the world have been increasingly vocal about VAW. However there are still www.worecnepal.org A Year Book on Violence against Women 2011 2 numerous instances when VAW is swept under the carpet. The primary reason for such covering up has been the acceptability of VAW due to cultural norms. Perpetrators of VAW do not just imbibe violent behavior, but simultaneously learn that these behaviors are socially acceptable. These learnings are reinforced as society and the state fail to punish perpetrators of VAW. At the core is the fact that VAW takes place and tolerated because women and men do not have equal access to power in most societies. In this light, Violence against Women is disturbingly a growing trend in Nepal. It manifests as a continuum and encompasses an array of abuses targeted at women and girls throughout their life cycles. Silence around the issue has been a characteristic feature of VAW in Nepal. Although VAW has long been on the international agenda, it has only recently become important in the Nepali gender policy context. Women in Nepal have been continuously raising their voice against violations of women’s rights. But it was only in 2008 that Nepal witnessed the passage of the Domestic Violence and Punishment Act 2065 accompanied by the declaration of BS 2067 (2010) as anti-VAW year. Although now that there is a law against domestic violence, the state obligation should expand to protection of women in diverse family forms, and incorporate measures beyond prosecution of private actors to encompass further protection from violence, including provision of legal support and health, safety, and shelter requirements for the survivor, and to develop the obligation to prevent VAW by addressing its root causes. 1. VAW and Five Development Regions A total of 1569 cases were collected by WOREC Nepal for the www.worecnepal.org 3 A Year Book on Violence against Women 2011 purpose of analysis of VAW. The highest percentage of VAW was reported from the Eastern development region accounting for 66%, followed by the Central development region with 12% and the Mid western development region with 11%. Likewise, the Far Western development region accounted for 10% and the Western region accounted for 1% of the total cases. 2. Types of Violence a. Domestic violence Domestic violence accounts for 64% (1002 out of 1569 cases) of the total reported cases. Likewise, 17% accounts for social violence, 8% rape, and 4% murder. Unequal power relations in both the context of a family as well as the State; and persons in authority comprise the context for violence. Husbands (74%) and family (26%) account for all perpetrators of domestic violence. b. Social violence 1. Social violence is the second most frequent type of violence. A total of 266 cases or 17% of the total VAW cases were under this category. 91% of social violence was perpetrated by neighbors while 9% was by others (25 out of 266 cases). 2. For the purpose of Anbeshi, allegations of witchcraft fall under social violence. This year we saw a total of 48 cases of witchcraft accusations. Among these cases, 11 cases were perpetrated by family members and husband whereas rest of the cases have were perpetrated by non family people. www.worecnepal.org A Year Book on Violence against Women 2011 4 c. Rape Rape accounts for the third highest category of VAW. In all, 124 (8%) cases were reported. Neighbors are responsible for 73 percent of the reported cases, others and unidentified (15%) while family members (8%) and husbands (4%) combined are responsible for 12 percent of the cases. d. Murder Murder was reported in 47 cases and represented a relatively small proportion (3%) of the total VAW cases. 51.1% (or 24 out of 47 cases) of all reported cases of murders are committed by husbands, 17.0% (or 8 cases) was committed by other family members and 23.4% (or 11 cases) was committed by neighbors. e. Sexual abuse Sexual abuse accounts for 64 cases (4%) of the total reported cases of VAW. 53.1% (34 of 64 cases) of sexual abuse is committed by neighbors. Husbands, other family members, and other/unidentified individuals account for 15.6% (10 cases), 10.9% (7 cases), and 20.3% (13 cases) of sexual abuse respectively. f. Trafficking Regarding trafficking of women, the data reveals that the highest number of cases (61%) (14 of 23 cases) is carried out by neighbors, followed by other/unidentified (35%), and family member (4%).

Download or read book The AOC Generation written by David Freedlander and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A grassroots look at the future of US politics as the next generation of progressive organizers—sparked by the unstoppable rise of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—leads us toward a new direction The AOC Generation examines the resurgent young left—including groups like Justice Democrats, the Democratic Socialists of America and Brand New Congress—and documents how and why they got active and energized in political organizing, the success and limitations of their approaches—and through their stories, it tells the history and the future of a generation. In 2018, the country watched as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rose from unknown part-time bartender to the halls of Congress at the age of 29 and became a household name for her progressive, passionate politics. With firsthand accounts detailing the final days of her campaign, which he spent beside her as she fought for every last vote, Freedlander connects her ample political talents and ability to command the media and the public’s attention to the newfound political awakening of millennial activists. Inspired in part by the Bernie Sanders campaign, and furthered by a series of critical issues including catastrophic climate change, a rigid political system, and widening income inequality, these young people organized into new groups that became a conduit for their energy, ideas, and passions. And all of their activity isn’t just political. They’ve created their own media eco-system, with podcasts, streaming networks, and even dating sites that cater to their interests. With this new generation gaining traction, with little signs of backing down and securing crucial political seats as Ocasio-Cortez did in 2018, The AOC Generation presents a thoughtful analysis of how they came of age in an America they are determined to reshape.

Download or read book Experiments on Reality written by Tim Robinson and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long recognized as perhaps the greatest non-fiction writer at work in Ireland, for his vast, polymathic accounts of nature and culture in the Aran Islands and Connemara, Tim Robinson is also an essayist of genius whose fascinations range across the globe. In Experiments on Reality, he shines the light of his intelligence on his own life, and on some of the most fascinating questions in science and culture. Robinson brings us to his boyhood in Yorkshire, National Service in Malaya in the 1950s, and his years as a visual artist in Istanbul, Vienna and London. He revisits some of the scenes of his researches for the maps he made of Aran and Connemara, places that continue to throw up remarkable stories and puzzles. And he performs astonishing literary thought-experiments, playing with the boundaries of the essay form, scientific inquiry, and storytelling. Experiments on Reality is a masterpiece from one of the great minds of our time. 'One of the greatest of all landscape writers ...

Download or read book I written by David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2014-03-03 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience spiritual enlightenment and personal transformation from world-renowned author, psychiatrist, clinician, spiritual teacher, and researcher of consciousness, David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. This book combines consciousness studies with transpersonal psychology, providing an accessible gateway into the deeper dimensions of self and reality. It concludes the presentation of a long-predicted major advance in critical human knowledge. It explains and describes the very substrate and essence of consciousness as it evolved from its primordial appearance as life on earth on up through evolution as the human ego, and hence, to the ego’s transcendence as the spiritual Reality of Enlightenment and the Presence of Divinity. It completes the description of the evolution of human consciousness from the level of approximately 800 to its peak experience at 1,000, which historically has been the ultimate possibility in the human domain. This is the realm of the mystic whose truth stems solely from the radical subjectivity of divine revelation. The text of the material is taken from lectures, dissertations, and dialogues with students, visitors, and spiritual aspirants from around the world who have different spiritual and religious backgrounds and varying levels of consciousness. On the referenced Scale of the Levels of consciousness, which calibrates the levels of Truth from 1 to 1,000, Power versus Force calibrates at 850, The Eye of the I at 980, and the final volume of the trilogy, I, calibrates at a conclusive 999.8. The uncommon clarity and lucidity with which the highly evolved subject matter is presented facilitates understanding. As with the reading of Power versus Force or The Eye of the I, the reader’s level of consciousness increases measurably as a consequence of exposure to this material itself, which is presented from a powerful field of exposition. Conflict is resolved within the mind of the student by means of recontextualization, which solves the dilemma. Argument and adversity are resolvable by identifying the positionalities of the ego which are the basis of human suffering. Some Chapters Include: The Process Spiritual Purification The ‘Ego’ and Society Spiritual Reality Realization The Realization of Divinity The Radical Reality of the Self The Mystic The Levels of Enlightenment The Nature of God The Obstacles Transcending the World The Emotions “Mind” Considerations Karma The Final Doorway The Transcendence The Inner Path “No Mind” The Way of the Heart The Recontextualization Spiritual Research Homo Spiritus This masterpiece is a revolutionary tool for personal transformation, blending quantum physics with spirituality, and a perfect read for anyone seeking enlightenment and a deeper understanding of the universe.

Download or read book Cinema Novo x 5 written by Randal Johnson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With such stunning films as Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands, Bye Bye Brazil, and Pixote, Brazilian cinema achieved both critical acclaim and popular recognition in the 1970s and 1980s, becoming the premier cinema of Latin America and one of the largest film producers in the western world. But the success of Brazilian film at home and abroad came after many years of struggle by filmmakers determined to create a strong film industry in Brazil. At the forefront of this struggle were the filmmakers of Cinema Novo, the internationally acclaimed movement whose flowering in the 1960s marked the birth of modern Brazilian film. Cinema Novo x 5 places the success of Brazilian cinema in perspective by examining the films of the five leaders of this groundbreaking movement—Andrade, Diegues, Guerra, Rocha, and dos Santos. By exploring the individuality of these masters of contemporary Brazilian film, Randal Johnson reveals the astonishing stylistic and thematic diversity of Cinema Novo. His emphasis is on the films themselves, as well as their makers’ distinctive cinematic vision and views of what cinema should be and is. At the same time, he provides a wealth of valuable background information to enhance readers’ understanding of the historical, cultural, and economic context in which Cinema Novo was born and flourished.

Download or read book Idealism and Existentialism written by Jon Stewart and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06-02 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Continental philosophy is often conceived as being represented by two major schools: German idealism and phenomenology/existentialism. These two schools are frequently juxtaposed so as to highlight their purported radical differences. There is a commonly held view that an abrupt break occurred in the nineteenth century, resulting in a disdainful rejection of idealism in all its forms. This break is often located in the transition from Hegel to Kierkegaard. The history of philosophy in the first half of the nineteenth century has thus been read as a grand confrontation between the overambitious rationalistic system of Hegel and the devastating criticisms of it by Kierkegaard's philosophy of existence. This work aims to undermine this popular view of the radical break between idealism and existentialism by means of a series of detailed studies in specific episodes of European thought. As a whole, this book represents an important attempt to demonstrate the long shadow cast by Kant and Hegel over the subsequent history of European philosophy.
