Book Synopsis Journeys at the Margin by : Jung Young Lee
Download or read book Journeys at the Margin written by Jung Young Lee and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being an immigrant is both being "in-between" two cultures, that of the immigrant and that of the dominant group, and being "in-both" of these cultures. It ultimately means being "in-beyond" the two cultures together. In this book a group of prominent Asian-American Christian theologians reflect in an autobiographical form on how being an Asian and a North American has shaped the way they understand the Christian story. As the United States becomes increasingly multiethnic and multicultural, this book offers useful suggestions on how to meet the challenge of cultural diversity in both Church and society.

Book Synopsis Building a Eucharistic Pedagogy for the Presbyterian Church of Korea by : Hyoung Seop Shin
Download or read book Building a Eucharistic Pedagogy for the Presbyterian Church of Korea written by Hyoung Seop Shin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-04-29 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the critical conversations between education, liturgy, sociology, and theology, this book suggests an alternative eucharistic pedagogy for the Presbyterian Church of Korea by reforming eucharistic and curricular practices with attention to students' specific local contexts. This process includes the formulation of the definition of the new eucharistic pedagogy, the reconceptualization of concepts regarding the eucharistic pedagogy, and five steps as pedagogical strategies for a new eucharistic pedagogy for the Presbyterian Church of Korea including pedagogical guidelines for teachers and students. This book will open the door for further educational and liturgical discussions of the work of contextualization in churches around the world. Even though this study investigates a contextual pedagogy limited to the PCK, this task needs attention and study in a larger context beyond the PCK. The gospel is the worldwide truth that cannot be limited to a certain culture but becomes incarnated into each local culture. Therefore, this kind of contextual investigation between the gospel and culture will not be optional, but imperative to all churches.
Book Synopsis T&T Clark Handbook of Asian American Biblical Hermeneutics by : Uriah Y. Kim
Download or read book T&T Clark Handbook of Asian American Biblical Hermeneutics written by Uriah Y. Kim and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first reference resource on how Asian Americans are currently reading and interpreting the Bible, this volume also serves a valuable role in both developing and disseminating what can be termed as Asian American biblical hermeneutics. The volume works from the important background that Asian Americans are the fastest growing ethnic/racial minority population in the USA, and that 42% of this group identifies as Christian. This provides a useful starting point from which to examine what may be distinctive about Asian American approaches to the Bible. Part 1 of the Handbook describes six major ethic groups that make up 85% of Asian population (by country of origin: China, Philippines, Indian Subcontinent, Vietnam, Korea, Japan) and outlines the specific concerns each group has when its members read the Bible. Part 2 of the Handbook examines major critical methods in biblical interpretation and suggests adjustments that may be helpful for Asian Americans to make when they are interpreting the Bible. Finally, Part 3 provides 25 interpretations by Asian American biblical scholars on specific texts in the Bible, using what they consider to be Asian American hermeneutics. Taken together the Handbook interprets the Bible both with and for the Asian American communities.
Book Synopsis Marginal(ized) Prospects through Biblical Ritual and Law by : Bernon Lee
Download or read book Marginal(ized) Prospects through Biblical Ritual and Law written by Bernon Lee and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-19 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book follows a reader’s logic of association through a series of overlapping constructs in biblical prescription of things prized and lofty—holy hair, unblemished beasts, sacred edibles, wholesome wombs, pristine precincts, esteemed ethnicities and, as unlikely as it seems, dismembered members. Thoroughly intersectional in disposition, Bernon Lee uncovers not just the precariousness of the contrived dichotomies through the identity-building sacred texts, but also the complexities and contentions of a would-be decolonizing hermeneutic bristling with its own tensions and temptations. This volume is an intertextual odyssey through law and ritual from impassioned positions fraught with ambivalence, reticence, and anxiety.
Book Synopsis Matthew and the Margins by : Warren Carter
Download or read book Matthew and the Margins written by Warren Carter and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 841 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This verse by verse commentary presents the Gospel of Matthew as a counter-narrative that shapes the group of Jesus' followers as an alternative community able to resist the dominant authorities both in Rome and in the synagogue. The Gospel anticipates the time when Jesus will return and establish God's reign over all, including the powers in Rome. Breaking Matthew into five narrative blocks, Carter carefully considers historical, literary, cultural, and ecclesial factors as he explores the themes of marginality and power. A masterful introduction outlines these approaches and surveys other studies on Matthew.
Book Synopsis Jewish Journeys: The Second Temple Period to the Bar Kokhba Revolt: 536 Bce-136 Ce by : Tuvia Book
Download or read book Jewish Journeys: The Second Temple Period to the Bar Kokhba Revolt: 536 Bce-136 Ce written by Tuvia Book and published by Maggid. This book was released on 2021-11-10 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully Illustrated history book is the the first volume to be published in a planned six-volume series directed at Jewish young adults. It is noteworthy that this inaugural volume tells the story of Jews returning to the Land of Israel, while the Diaspora continues to thrive in a world of superpowers which clash and cooperate - a period not unlike our own. We hope that this series will go some way to rectify the ignorance of our unique, long, and complex history, and to enable future Jewish adults to understand both their past and ground their future in a changing and evolving world.

Book Synopsis Journey to Success by : Dr. Eunice Moseley
Download or read book Journey to Success written by Dr. Eunice Moseley and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book There is so much in life going on right now and it’s hard for some to see their way forward, but this book will show them—step by step. Journey to Success: A Systematic Review explores the concept of achieving success methodically, using empirical data showing how, as well as the author’s personal life experiences of overcoming setbacks and adversity, which allows the reader to see that data in action, relate, and practice. The purpose of the book is to inspire and motivate the readers to not give up when faced with obstacles, but instead to reflect on past successful experiences (“and we all have them from as way back as learning to walk”) and use those experiences to problem-solve their way to overcoming adversity. Readers will be able to relate to what the author has discovered in her journey of successes and put in practice in their current situations, using the resources that they have available. This book is unique in the sense that the author provides scientific data to support her assertions based on her experiences, and empirical data to support the overcoming techniques she has developed. About the Author Dr. Eunice Moseley’s hobbies are singing (“I recorded two albums for family and friends”) and dancing. At times she is inspired to write poems (“published two books of poems”) or draw (“designed a WEBB radio station’s new logo”). Moseley’s special interest is in uplifting others. Her ULMII conference has launched many careers, and she has interviewed icons that include Will Smith, Magic Johnson, Ne-Yo, Ciara, Queen Latifah, Gladys Knight, Bruce Willis, Mark Wahlberg, Shirley Caesar, Marvin Sapp, Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington and many others. Moseley is a widow with two daughters, three grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. She is a regular member of the Public Relations Society of America.

Book Synopsis Image on the Edge by : Michael Camille
Download or read book Image on the Edge written by Michael Camille and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do they all mean – the lascivious ape, autophagic dragons, pot-bellied heads, harp-playing asses, arse-kissing priests and somersaulting jongleurs to be found protruding from the edges of medieval buildings and in the margins of illuminated manuscripts? Michael Camille explores that riotous realm of marginal art, so often explained away as mere decoration or zany doodles, where resistance to social constraints flourished. Medieval image-makers focused attention on the underside of society, the excluded and the ejected. Peasants, servants, prostitutes and beggars all found their place, along with knights and clerics, engaged in impudent antics in the margins of prayer-books or, as gargoyles, on the outsides of churches. Camille brings us to an understanding of how marginality functioned in medieval culture and shows us just how scandalous, subversive, and amazing the art of the time could be.
