Book Synopsis 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus by : Abraham Kuruvilla
Download or read book 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus written by Abraham Kuruvilla and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus: A Theological Commentary for Preachers engages hermeneutics for preaching, employing theological exegesis that enables the preacher to utilize all the units of these epistles to craft effective sermons. This commentary unpacks the crucial link between Scripture and application: the theology of each preaching text (pericope). The three letters--collectively, the Pastoral Epistles--are divided into eighteen pericopes, and what the author is doing with what he is saying in each is explored. The overall theological trajectory of the Pastoral Epistles concerns the promotion of God's economy by the community of God's people. The specific theological thrust of individual preaching units is captured in this commentary, making possible a sequential homiletical movement through each pericope of the three epistles. While the primary goal of the commentary is to take the preacher from text to theology, it also provides two sermon outlines for each of the eighteen preaching units of the Pastoral Epistles. The unique approach of this work results in a theology-for-preaching commentary that promises to be useful for anyone teaching through 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus with an emphasis on application.

Book Synopsis Reading for the Moral by : Maria Franca Sibau
Download or read book Reading for the Moral written by Maria Franca Sibau and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reassesses didacticism in seventeenth-century Chinese vernacular fiction and challenges the view that the late Ming was a notoriously immoral time. Reading for the Moral offers an innovative reassessment of the nature of moral representation and exemplarity in Chinese vernacular fiction. Maria Franca Sibau focuses on two little-studied story collections published at the end of the Ming dynasty, Exemplary Words for the World (Xingshi yan, 1632) and Bell in the Still Night (Qingye zhong, c. 1645). Far from being tediously moralistic tales, these stories of loyal ministers, filial children, chaste widows, and selfless friends provide a deeper understanding of the five cardinal relationships central to Confucian ethics. They explore the inherent tension between what we might call textbook morality, on the one hand, and untidy everyday life, on the other. The stories often take a critical view of mechanical notions of retribution, countering it with the logic of virtue as its own reward. Conflict between passion and duty is typically resolved in favor of duty, a duty redefined with a palpable sense of urgency. In constructing vernacular representations of moral exemplars from the recent historical past rather than from remote or fictitious antiquity, the story compilers show how these virtues are not abstract or monolithic norms, but play out within the contingencies of time and space. Reading for the Moral is an entertaining and insightful exploration of how seriously moralistic writers really were in a time that became notorious for its supposed immorality. Sibaus encyclopedic knowledge of both original texts and relevant secondary literature make this an excellent source of inspiration for further research. This book is an outstanding accomplishment. Robert E. Hegel, author of Reading Illustrated Fiction in Late Imperial China

Download or read book Character written by Deborah L. Rhode and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans claim to care about character. Over four fifths want it taught in public schools, and 95 percent think that a president's character is important. And historically, philosophers, educators, politicians, religious leaders, judges, and the general public have agreed that character should be valued and reinforced. Yet in the United States, the institutions charged with that mission have consistently fallen short. Simply put, too little effort has been made to understand the importance of character and the strategies that can best develop and support it. After first exploring the history of the concept over time, Deborah Rhode turns her focus to the institutions that have traditionally fostered good character: families, schools, youth organizations, civic groups, and political organizations. However, as we have increasingly de-emphasized the subject-a trend that is most evident in our politics-our awareness of its shaping influence has waned. Indeed, we often focus on the wrong things when it comes to fostering good character. For instance, almost a third of the workforce is covered by licensing laws requiring good moral character, even occupations where the need for screening is not self-evident: florist, fortune teller, and frog farmers. Character also plays a pivotal role in the criminal justice system, in defining guilt, punishment, and eligibility for parole. All too often, these legal requirements are idiosyncratic, inequitable, and subject to race and class bias. Millions of Americans who have convictions for minor offenses are excluded from a vast range of occupations and benefits without evidence that such exclusion serves the public interest. We can do better, she stresses, and outlines a powerful program for reform. Rhode punctuates the book through a series of portraits of exemplary individuals whose good character made them who they were: Ida B. Wells, Jane Addams, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Albert Schweitzer, and Thurgood Marshall. All of these individuals had flaws, but through their commitments to both social justice and helping the less fortunate, they all demonstrate the power and importance of strong character.
Book Synopsis Responsive Mentoring by : Parth Sarathi
Download or read book Responsive Mentoring written by Parth Sarathi and published by BFC Publications. This book was released on 2023-12-08 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentoring plays a very effective role in the current environment, which is described as VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous). In order to cope with this environment, organizations have to be responsive, and for this, people in the organization have to be responsive. A responsive person quickly reacts to people or events and shows emotions such as pleasure and affection spontaneously while working with or for people. A responsive leader is driven to understand people and enhance their readiness to appropriately react or respond. Such leaders, equipped with the necessary competencies, can mentor others to transform them to become responsive. Therefore, such leaders and mentors can trigger a multiplying effect in the organization to create many more mentors like them. Mentoring gives one the opportunity to use one’s valuable possessions (knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, and other attributes) respectfully in developing others. Nothing gives such a strong boost to one’s self-esteem and experience of self-actualization, as seeing the achievements of those, in whose development, he/she has invested. Responsive mentors put others first and care about their needs. This builds goodwill, strengthens relationships, and cultivates trust and mutual concern. Mentoring cannot be understood and practiced in isolation, it is very closely related to a few other interventions like Coaching, Feedback, Counseling, and Pygmalion. A number of appropriate behavioral skills help mentoring unleash its tremendous potential. This book, conceived after over 50 years of managerial experience in diverse fields, especially in developing people and organizations, is a valuable resource for being an exemplary mentor and also encouraging and developing others to become responsive and also become mentors. The process has been so vividly described that any organization can initiate mentoring smoothly. Written in simple language, with a formidable blend of theory and practice on one hand and content and process on the other, this book will be highly beneficial to mentors, mentees, line managers, HR/HRD professionals, management faculty, teachers, and trainers.

Book Synopsis Dictionary of Sociology by : Henry Pratt Fairchild
Download or read book Dictionary of Sociology written by Henry Pratt Fairchild and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1944-01-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface: Every science must have its special vocabulary or terminology. Sciences deal with ideas, thoughts, and concepts, and these must be expressed in words. Even the facts which are the groundwork of science must be set forth largely in words. No science, therefore, can have any more precision and exactitude than the words or other symbols, such as mathematical or chemical formulae, in which it is embodied. Quite generally, this situation calls for a special dictionary or glossary for each particular science.
Book Synopsis Perry Mason and Philosophy by : Heather L. Rivera
Download or read book Perry Mason and Philosophy written by Heather L. Rivera and published by Open Court Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1933 the crime writer Erle Stanley Gardner, himself a practicing lawyer, unleashed the character Perry Mason in the novel The Case of the Velvet Claws. Perry Mason entered into public consciousness as a new conception of the role of the defense lawyer, so that millions of Americans came to expect every criminal trial to have its “Perry Mason moment.” In the 1950s the Perry Mason TV show had a phenomenal success, and Mason came to be identified with Raymond Burr. Now Perry Mason has again been restored to life in the HBO series starring Matthew Rhys and John Lithgow. Meanwhile, the eighty-two original Erle Stanley Gardner novels continue to sell thousands of copies each week. Perry Mason gave America a new conception of the trial lawyer, as someone who was always loyal to his client and always prepared to use dirty tricks such as misdirection and withholding of evidence to protect the innocent and secure the ends of Justice. The Mason of the novels is less scrupulous than the Raymond Burr Mason, and would sometimes be in danger of going to jail if the trial didn’t turn out right—which it always did, largely because of Mason’s cleverness. The Perry Mason icon raises many philosophical issues explored by seventeen different philosophers in this book, including: ● Can we defend Paul Drake’s claim (The Case of the Blonde Bonanza) that Mason is “a paragon of righteous virtue” despite his predilection for skating on thin legal ice? ● Can complex murder cases be solved by facts alone—or do we also need empathy? ● The most convincing way to give a TV episode a surprise ending is by the guilty person suddenly confessing. But in reality, is a confession necessarily so convincing? ● Does Perry Mason represent the Messiah? ● How does the Raymond Burr Perry Mason compare with the more recent TV character Saul Goodman (Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul)? ● Is it morally okay to mislead the police if this helps your client and your client is innocent? ● How does Perry Mason help us understand the distinction between natural law and positive law? ● Do the Perry Mason stories comply with Aristotle’s recipe for a good work of fiction? ● Does life imitate art, when Perry Mason is cited in real-life courtroom arguments? ● How much trickery can be justified by loyalty to one’s client? ● Can evidence in murder trials be evaluated by probability theory? ● Perry Mason is officially a lawyer and unofficially a detective. But isn’t he really a historian and a psychgoanalayst? ● Della Street is a competent legal secretary, but is she something more? ● Mason often says that “Eye-witness testimony is the worst kind of evidence” and occasionally that “Circumstantial evidence is the best evidence we have.” Can these claims be defended?
