Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, artwork has played a powerful role in shaping settler colonial subjectivity and the political imagination of Westphalian sovereignty through the canonization of particular visual artworks, aesthetic theories, and art institutions’ methods of display. Creative Presence contributes a transnational feminist intersectional analysis of visual and performance artwork by Indigenous contemporary artists who directly engage with colonialism and decolonization. This book makes the case that decolonial aesthetics is a form of labour and knowledge production that calls attention to the foundational violence of settler colonialism in the formation of the world order of sovereign states. Creative Presence analyzes how artists’ purposeful selection of materials, media forms, and place-making in the exhibitions and performances of their work reveals the limits of conventional International Relations theories, methods, and debates on sovereignty and participates in Indigenous reclamations of lands and waterways in world politics. Brian Jungen’s sculpture series Prototypes for New Understanding and Rebecca Belmore’s filmed performances Vigil and Fountain exhibit how colonial power has been imagined, visualized and institutionalized historically and in contemporary settler visual culture. These contemporary visual and performance artworks by Indigenous artists that name the political violence of settler colonial claims to exclusive territorial sovereignty introduce possibilities for decolonizing audiences’ sensibilities and political imagination of lands and waterways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows the importance of the possibility approach for contemporary debates about metaphysics, the idea of God, the problem of evil, the role of reason and the understanding of humanity in the light of contemporary transhumanist challenges. It discusses the turn to possibility not only as a historical phenomenon, but as a systematic starting point for a contemporary philosophical theology that points beyond the barren alternatives between classical or neoclassical metaphysics as well as modern and postmodern antimetaphysics. It thus offers a new starting point for critical engagement with the philosophical and theological challengers and shortcomings of our contemporary culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1943 amidst the distractions of World War II, Religion of Tomorrow never received the proper recognition it deserved. Now some eighty years later, poet-philosopher John Elof Boodin’s manifesto for a popular Christian renaissance is more necessary than ever. With an informative historical/biographical introduction and more than one hundred textual notes, editor Michael A. Flannery presents Boodin’s spiritual roadmap for a new audience to listen and follow the divine lure towards greater creativity and fulfillment—to “learn by living.” Boodin invites readers to embark upon their own Christian journeys with the poets and sages of the ages at their side. Here Boodin becomes the informed travel guide—well-equipped with the knowledge of history, the tools of science, the sensibilities of a poet, and the empathy of a fellow traveler to be encouraged as was Joshua to “be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Book excerpt: Here are case studies in which myths have helped Dr. May's patients make sense out of an often senseless world. It happens almost daily in a therapist's office. A patient, recalling a person, an event, an emotion, quite unexpectedly supplies a link from a life in the present to one of the durable myths of our culture. In this moment, the myth becomes a mirror, revealing to the patient the source of disturbance and pain in a pattern of behavior that often stretches a year or longer. The healing process begins. The myth, "eternity breaking into time" in Rollo Mays's words, becomes the focal point of recovery. Through tracing myths – whether from classical Greece and Dante's Middle Ages, European legend (Faust and the prototype of Sleeping Beauty), or contemporary American life (Jay Gatsby) -- and relating them to the dreams and associations he encounters in his own practice, Dr. May provides meaning and structure for all who seek direction in a morally confusing world. In this, perhaps the finest achievement of a great therapist, Rollo May writes with "the grace, wit, and style: for which he recently received the Gold Medal of the American Psychological Society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major work, now available in English, is considered by many to be one of the finest and most significant contributions to modern Christology. Preeminent scholar and theologian Ingolf Dalferth argues for a radical reorientation of Christology for historical, hermeneutical, and theological reasons. He defends an orthodox vision of Christology in the context of a dialogue with modernity, showing why the resurrection, not the incarnation, ought to be the central idea of Christological thinking. His proposal is both pneumatological and Trinitarian, and addresses themes such as soteriology, the doctrine of atonement, and preaching.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If there has ever been a time in your life when things got very confusing and maybe even more than a little overwhelming, or you were just looking for some guidance and advice on how to navigate the pitfalls of everyday living, then having this book to refer to would have been a literal Godsend. Even if you are just in need of something to lift your spirits while helping you to get back on your feet again, this is a book that you just have to read. Whenever life presents you with situations that seem to have no easy answers, or you simply feel indecisive while in need of some comforting words of wisdom, let the wonderful insights and heartfelt prayers of Mary Pompeo guide you. Within an atmosphere of trust and compassion, you will come across many subjects that she has helped very many of her clients deal with over the span of her lifetime counselling career. This is because Mary has such a wonderful gift for understanding people and how to give them meaningful guidance, which then allows them to empower their lives with the confidence and clarity of foresight; much of which comes through prayer. Prayers, as you will see from reading this book, are not limited to the province of organised religion. There is much more to it than that, and you don’t have to be at all religious to make good use of them. As you will discover, your words are always heard by an intelligence which is way beyond the capacity of the human mind to understand. Answers are always received, but they can often be difficult to appreciate; in respect to the gifts which they bring with them. In Mary’s own words – ‘ The main reason that I set out to write something of this nature was because I believe wholeheartedly in the power of prayer. In this respect I can confidently assure you of something. It’s this. There is nothing whatsoever that is going on in your life right now which is seemingly so terrible that prayer cannot make it better. Life can oftentimes seem harsh and grossly unfair where the challenges which come from being this way can, on occasions, feel completely overwhelming. The act of praying takes on those challenges and infuses them with Divine Creative Energy; the very same energy that made our Universe and which continues to power our sun, so as to bring the vibrancy of life and brightness to everything. Although we have never actually met, I can confidently tell you that you are stronger, more resourceful and much more powerful than you give yourself credit for. There is a light within you which burns brightly, even though you have done such a great job of hiding it so well. You just need someone to help you find it, so that you are able to reconnect with the Universal Force; which constantly seeks to guide you back onto the path of enduring happiness and inner peace. Prayer is a truly wonderful way to achieve this, and so, along with my advice, I have chosen to share with you my own special way of reaching out to a higher power. One that will strive to lift your spirits, if only you have the will to manifest this. My aim, if you allow me to, is to show you how to regain control of your life, as well as fixing the seemingly unfixable. There is nothing that you cannot achieve if you just set your mind to it. Find that Force. Be that Light. Use this book to rise above your challenges, dramas and your apparent limitations. Be happy and feel loved. You absolutely do deserve it. The Divine Creative Force wants nothing else other than for you, its precious and cherished creation, to be this way.’

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Alternative Vision: An Interpretation of Liberation Theology offers a complete overview of the liberation theology movement that is ideally suited for a thorough study of the major questions and important theologians that have contributed to the debate. It outlines and brings together into a single unified account liberation theology's alternate vision for providing the possibility of meaningful historical existence for humans in the world today. The author translates the Christian vision of liberation theologians from Latin America into more general theological and cultural categories familiar to the English-speaking world, then shows how that vision makes a unified interpretation of Christian doctrine. First, liberation theology must be seen as a response to massive human suffering witnessed throughout the world today. This human agony is largely caused by human beings and the social and political structures we create, and liberation theology addresses this dilemma using the tradition of Christian wisdom and direct imperatives that have universal, transcultural significance. The second goal is achieved by showing the connection between liberation principles and the major doctrines of Christian belief, including God, Jesus Christ, faith, grace, the church, sacraments, ministry, and spirituality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent history of post-Soviet societies is heavily shaped by the successor nations’ efforts to geopolitically re-identify themselves and to reify certain majorities in them. As a result of these fascinating processes, various new ideologies have appeared. Some are specific to the post-Soviet space while others are comparable to ideational processes in other parts of the world. In this collected volume, an international group of contributors delves deeper into recent theoretical constructions of various post-Soviet majorities, the ideologies that justify them, and some respectively formulated policy prescriptions. The first part analyzes post-Soviet state-builders’ fixation on certain constructed majorities as well as on these imagined communities’ symbolic self-identifications, in- or outward othering, and national languages. The second part deals specifically with post-Soviet ideas of sovereigntism and the way they define majorities as well as imply changes in internal and external policies and legal systems. These processes are analyzed in comparison to similar phenomena in Western societies. The book’s contributors include (in the order of their appearance): Natalia Kudriavtseva, Petra Colmorgen, Nadiia Koval, Ivan Gomza, Augusto Dala Costa, Roman Horbyk, Yana Prymachenko, Yuliya Yurchuk, Oleksandr Fisun, Nataliya Vinnykova, Ruslan Zaporozhchenko, Mikhail Minakov, Gulnara Shaikhutdinova, and Yurii Mielkov.

Book excerpt: Following on the heels of The Womanist Reader, The Womanist Idea offers a comprehensive, systematic analysis of womanism, including a detailed discussion of the womanist worldview (cosmology, ontology, epistemology, logic, axiology, and methodology) and its implications for activism. From a womanist perspective, social and ecological change is necessarily undergirded by spirituality – as distinct from religion per se – which invokes a metaphysically informed approach to activism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deeper Still is the next stage of an ongoing process and a consequence of further inquiry into the yoga experience from author John Stirk. Following on from The Original Body this book invites an even deeper immersion into the reality of practice and the totality of personal experience in accessing the power of our inner teacher. As the theme of this book unfolds the reader is invited towards a sensory understanding leading to profound insight. Teachers using this book will be able to share with their students the clarity, mental space and basic wisdom that emerges as a result of their awakening physiology. We may frequently acknowledge that we are there with the group. Experience may tell us that 'there-ness' is not fixed, that it is based on an unknown element upon which all creativity is founded. Deeper Still goes beyond current experience and invites teachers to write their own story, develop their own script, ride the uncatchable wave that might be called yoga, and open up creativity to the next level. Deeper Still enables teachers to take their students to a deeper dimension. It also: provides a basis for off the chart experiences appeals to the depth mind through a deepening physical experience invites a more profound contact with groups brings out the essence of yoga in students as a consequence of a deeper creativity highlights emergent insight as a feature of group work blends an ancient concept with modern western yoga draws attention to the relationship between soft tissue sensitivity and the quality of xonsciousness examines the potential for abundant resonance in group work and the so called 'universal experience'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays are central to students’ and teachers’ development as thinkers in their fields. In Crafting Presence, Nicole B. Wallack develops an approach to teaching writing with the literary essay that holds promise for writing students, as well as for achieving a sense of common purpose currently lacking among professionals in composition, creative writing, and literature. Wallack analyzes examples drawn primarily from volumes of The Best American Essays to illuminate the most important quality of the essay as a literary form: the writer’s “presence.” She demonstrates how accounting for presence provides a flexible and rigorous heuristic for reading the contexts, formal elements, and purposes of essays. Such readings can help students learn writing principles, practices, and skills for crafting myriad presences rather than a single voice. Crafting Presence holds serious implications for writing pedagogy by providing new methods to help teachers and students become more insightful and confident readers and writers of essays. At a time when liberal arts education faces significant challenges, this important contribution to literary studies, composition, and creative writing shows how an essay-centered curriculum empowers students to show up in the world as public thinkers who must shape the “knowledge economy” of the twenty-first century.
