Book Synopsis Lotteries in Public Life by : Vilhelm Aubert
Download or read book Lotteries in Public Life written by Vilhelm Aubert and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lotteries have been used to make all kinds of public decisions ever since the days of Ancient Greece. They can contribute to some of our most important values, such as rationality, justice, and democracy. But until recently, there was no theory to make sense of lotteries and what they can do. The past few decades have changed that with a veritable renaissance of studies on lotteries. This book collects fourteen of the most important of these papers, and offers a critical introduction tying them together.
Download or read book Ordination written by Marjorie Warkentin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-12-08 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the history of the church, ordination has been practiced in nearly all its branches or denominations. Yet there has never been a set theology or procedure for this rite - probably because there is no general agreement on what it signifies. According to author Warkentin, "All kinds of suppositions about ordination abound,,,, The Scriptures of the New Testament are called upon to substantiate many of these assumptions, but contradictory doctrines continue to coexist." Warkentin's aim in this book is to examine the historical, exegetical, and theological sources of the rite of ordination. In the course of her study, several issues pertinent to church leadership practices emerge. Does a representative-mediatorial view of the ministry lead to encroachment on the office of the risen Lord and hinder the functioning of spiritual gifts in the church? Can we arrive at authentic scriptural norms on which to base leadership patterns in our churches? Warkentin's answers to these questions are both surprising and thought-provoking. She believes that the priesthood of all believers loses its meaning unless we recognize that true ministry - Christian service - can be practiced by each Christian according to his or her spiritual gifts, regardless of ordination. According to Warkentin: "The vocabulary of the New Testament permits no pyramidal forms... Ordination can have no function in such a system, for it sets up barriers where none should exist, that is, between one Christian and another, and hinders the mutual service by which the church is edified."

Book Synopsis The Naked Man by : Claude Lévi-Strauss
Download or read book The Naked Man written by Claude Lévi-Strauss and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1990-11-08 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Naked Man is the fourth and final volume [of Mythologiques], written by the most influential and probably the most controversial anthropologist of our time. . . . Myths from North and South America are set side by side to show their transformations: in passing from person to person and place to place, a myth can change its content and yet retain its structural principles. . . . Apart from the complicated transformations discovered and the fascinating constructions placed on these, the stories themselves provide a feast."—Betty Abel, Contemporary Review "Lévi-Strauss uses the structural method he developed to analyze and 'decode' the mythology of native North Americans, focusing on the area west of the Rockies. . . . [The author] takes the opportunity to refute arguments against his method; his chapter 'Finale' is a defense of structural analysis as well as the closing statement of this four-volume opus which started with an 'Ouverture' in The Raw and the Cooked."—Library Journal "The culmination of one of the major intellectual feats of our time."—Paul Stuewe, Quill and Quire
Book Synopsis J.M.E. McTaggart by : Ramesh K. Sharma
Download or read book J.M.E. McTaggart written by Ramesh K. Sharma and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J.M.E. McTaggart seeks to critically expound and appraise the British philosopher’s thought with respect to three principal themes of his philosophy: substance, self, and immortality. Ramesh Kumar Sharma guides the reader through the labyrinths of McTaggart’s intricate arguments and defends many of McTaggart’s highly unorthodox doctrines and conclusions. While doing this, Sharma draws on the works of, among others, Berkeley, Hegel, and Leibniz, and at the same time attacks numerous modern-day physicalist theories that propound mind-brain identity as against the presumed reality of the self and consciousness. This work is thus recommended both for philosophers and researchers interested in: (1) such perennial metaphysical subjects as reality, existence, possibility, the basic ontological categories of substance, qualities, and relations (universals); (2) the question of the reality of the self; (3) McTaggart’s overall vision of the universe or Absolute, and his rejection of the more or less predominant view that the Absolute is God; (4) McTaggart’s unique doctrine, after Plato, of the immortality of the self combined with (the self ’s) pre-existence, post-existence, and plurality of lives; and (5) his extraordinary, but important, views on perception.

Book Synopsis Communion in the Messiah by : Lev Gillet
Download or read book Communion in the Messiah written by Lev Gillet and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-12-20 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two main themes in Gillet's challenging book: substitution of a "dialogue" for the one-sided "mission to the Jews," and communion of Jews and Christians in the one Messiah. Without compromising the Christian position, Gillet shows how much Christians have to learn from Jews before they can hope to communicate their own faith that Jesus is the Christ. After a historical analysis of the intellectual relations between Christianity and Judaism, Gillet eruditely draws out the common element, challenging and correcting misconceptions about Rabbinism and Jewish life and teaching generally, which overlook the two millennia of Jewish thought between the Old Testament and modern times. He shows how close is this connection, and how deeply spiritual is much of Jewish theology. There is, he claims, nothing in Jewish belief that a Jew become Christian ought to reject, while Christianity is the completion and fulfilment of Judaism.

Book Synopsis Dilemmas of Life and Death by : S. Cromwell Crawford
Download or read book Dilemmas of Life and Death written by S. Cromwell Crawford and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a breakthrough work expanding the debate of the dilemmas of life and death in contemporary American society by carrying it beyond the insights of Western religious and philosophic thought to include ethical perspectives of the Hindu tradition. The topics covered are the timely ethical issues that concern both Americans and all people of the world abortion, suicide, euthanasia, and the environment. A lively East-West dialogue probes the roots of each issue in its native setting, and the fruit of this historical approach is a clear-cut analysis of up-to-date cases, giving their current status in terms of ethics, religion, philosophy, medicine, and law. Unlike traditional textbooks that concentrate on a theoretical analysis to the exclusion of practical issues, this book does justice to both theoretical and practical ethics.
