Book Synopsis Developing Redemptive Change Agents by : Robert Osburn
Download or read book Developing Redemptive Change Agents written by Robert Osburn and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the term the priesthood of all believers, Martin Luther led a 16th century revolution that, among other things, reshaped the understanding of our political responsibilities. Likewise, in the 21st century, the term redemptive change agent offers a refreshed vision for Christian discipleship that can help societies experience the renewing potential and power of the gospel. This book not only introduces the idea of the redemptive change agent, but also their attributes and core practices, as well as the processes by which they are developed, the strategies they employ, and the risks they face. Case studies of notable redemptive change agents, including William Wilberforce, Charles Colson, and James Yen, bring the concept to life.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Change and Innovation by : Marshall Scott Poole
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Change and Innovation written by Marshall Scott Poole and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizational change and innovation are central and enduring issues in management theory and practice. Dramatic changes in population demographics, technology, competitive survival, and social, economic, and environmental health and sustainability concerns means the need to understand how organizations repond to these shifts through change and innovation has never been greater. Why and what organizations change is generally well known; how organizations change is therefore the central focus of this Handbook. It focuses on processes of change — or the sequence of events in which organizational characteristics and activities change and develop over time — and the factors that influence these processes, with the organization as the central unit of analysis. Across the diverse and wide-ranging contributions, three central questions evolve: what is the nature of change and process?; what are the key concepts and models for understanding organization change and innovation?; and how should we study change and innovation? This Handbook presents critical evolving scholarship from leading experts across a range of disciplines, and explores its implications for future research and practice.

Book Synopsis On Redemption, the Value of Putting Bad Things to Good Use by : Peyton Craig McElroy
Download or read book On Redemption, the Value of Putting Bad Things to Good Use written by Peyton Craig McElroy and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation offers a theory of a solution to the problem of lost meaning in life due to regrettable, past events. Each of us wishes for a meaningful life, but each of us, too, is vulnerable to threats to the meaning in life. The dissertation argues that a phenomenon called redemption can restore lost meaningfulness, and increase the value of our lives, overall. The first step in the argument is to demonstrate the need for a new model of redemption. The next step is to argue that redemption is a matter of transforming the meaning of events in our lives from bad to good in a thick, eudaimonistic sense related to a person's well-being. Finally, I show that this transformation not only increases a person's well-being but, more importantly, changes the relationship a person has with his past; By satisfying conditions for meaningfulness—a special value a life can have, distinct from its moral goodness or happiness—redemption renders the past more meaningful that it would have otherwise been. Because of this, redemption can solve the problem articulated in the beginning of the dissertation—the problem of lost meaning in life due to bad, past events.

Book Synopsis Bernard Shaw, Paul Ricoeur, and the Jesusian Dialectics of Redemptive Living by : Howard Ira Einsohn
Download or read book Bernard Shaw, Paul Ricoeur, and the Jesusian Dialectics of Redemptive Living written by Howard Ira Einsohn and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-28 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores a heretofore unremarked linkage between Bernard Shaw, the twentieth-century French thinker Paul Ricoeur, and Jesus of Nazareth. The ties that bind them are a foundational interest in the social teachings of the Nazarene and their use of a shared dialectics with respect to living the kind of compassionate life that holds out the promise in our contemporary world of achieving something approximating universal wellness on a healthy planet at peace with itself. This work argues that the three principal subjects of the study—independently of one another—used the same dialectical method to reach the same dialectically derived conclusion about how humans can live redemptively in a fractured world.
Book Synopsis Places of Redemption by : Mary McClintock Fulkerson
Download or read book Places of Redemption written by Mary McClintock Fulkerson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-08-19 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary aim of this book is to explore the contradiction between widely shared beliefs in the USA about racial inclusiveness and equal opportunity for all and the fact that most churches are racially homogeneous and do not include people with disabilities. To address the problem Mary McClintock Fulkerson explores the practices of an interracial church (United Methodist) that includes people with disabilities. The analysis focuses on those activities which create opportunities for people to experience those who are `different' as equal in ways that diminish both obliviousness to the other and fear of the other. In contrast with theology's typical focus on the beliefs of Christians, this project offers a theory of practices and place that foregrounds the instinctual reactions and communications that shape all groups. The effect is to broaden the academic field of theology through the benefits of ethnographic research and postmodern place theory.

Book Synopsis Change Agent Church in Black Lives Matter Times by : Valerie A. Miles-Tribble
Download or read book Change Agent Church in Black Lives Matter Times written by Valerie A. Miles-Tribble and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-05-29 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volatile social dissonance in America’s urban landscape is the backdrop as Valerie A. Miles-Tribble examines tensions in ecclesiology and public theology, focusing on theoethical dilemmas that complicate churches’ public justice witness as prophetic change agents. She attributes churches’ reticence to confront unjust disparities to conflicting views, for example, of Black Lives Matter protests as “mere politics,” and disparities in leader and congregant preparation for public justice roles. As a practical theologian with experience in organizational leadership, Miles-Tribble applies adaptive change theory, public justice theory, and a womanist communitarian perspective, engaging Emilie Townes’s construct of cultural evil as she presents a model of social reform activism re-envisioned as public discipleship. She contends that urban churches are urgently needed to embrace active prophetic roles and thus increase public justice witness. “Black Lives Matter times” compel churches to connect faith with public roles as spiritual catalysts of change.
