Book Synopsis Death, the End of History, and Beyond by : Greg Carey
Download or read book Death, the End of History, and Beyond written by Greg Carey and published by Presbyterian Publishing Corp. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens at the end of our lives and of the course of history? Will God bring about a just and peaceful world? What lies beyond this realm, and what can we know of the beings who dwell there? In Death, the End of History, and Beyond, Greg Carey offers resources for understanding multiple, even conflicting, ways that the Bible imagines these ultimate realities. Carey opens the Scriptures with a breadth of insight that acknowledges its diversity of viewpoints about what lies beyond the veil, centering hope in God’s action to bring good out of evil in our lived realities, in our personal journeys through death, and in visions of resurrection and justice restored. An appendix on preaching also invites clergy to help their communities imagine when and how eschatology can inform our lives today.

The book gives particular attention to hermeneutics, the body, and Bonhoeffer's rich reflections on community and discipleship.

Book Synopsis The Fierce Life of Grace Holmes Carlson by : Donna T. Haverty-Stacke
Download or read book The Fierce Life of Grace Holmes Carlson written by Donna T. Haverty-Stacke and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shares the story of the revolutionary Marxist and Catholic Grace Holmes Carlson and her life-long dedication to challenging social and economic inequality On December 8, 1941, Grace Holmes Carlson, the only female defendant among eighteen Trotskyists convicted under the Smith Act, was sentenced to sixteen months in federal prison for advocating the violent overthrow of the government. After serving a year in Alderson prison, Carlson returned to her work as an organizer for the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and ran for vice president of the United States under its banner in 1948. Then, in 1952, she abruptly left the SWP and returned to the Catholic Church. With the support of the Sisters of St. Joseph, who had educated her as a child, Carlson began a new life as a professor of psychology at St. Mary’s Junior College in Minneapolis where she advocated for social justice, now as a Catholic Marxist. The Fierce Life of Grace Holmes Carlson: Catholic, Socialist, Feminist is a historical biography that examines the story of this complicated woman in the context of her times with a specific focus on her experiences as a member of the working class, as a Catholic, and as a woman. Her story illuminates the workings of class identity within the context of various influences over the course of a lifespan. It contributes to recent historical scholarship exploring the importance of faith in workers’ lives and politics. And it uncovers both the possibilities and limitations for working-class and revolutionary Marxist women in the period between the first and second wave feminist movements. The long arc of Carlson’s life (1906–1992) ultimately reveals significant continuities in her political consciousness that transcended the shifts in her particular partisan commitments, most notably her life-long dedication to challenging the root causes of social and economic inequality. In that struggle, Carlson ultimately proved herself to be a truly fierce woman.
Book Synopsis A Church Militant by : Michael Snape
Download or read book A Church Militant written by Michael Snape and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-07-28 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of the relationship between Anglicans and the armed forces, of the military heritage and history of the Anglican Communion, and the changing nature of this relationship between the mid-Victorian period and the 1970s. This era spanned a period of imperial expansion and colonial conflict round the turn of the twentieth century, the two World Wars, the Cold War, wars of decolonisation, and Vietnam. In terms of armed conflict, it was the bloodiest period in the history of humanity and marked the advent of weaponry that had the capacity to extinguish human civilization. This book assesses the contribution of an expansive Anglican Communion to the armed forces of the English-speaking world, examines the ways in which this has been remembered, and explores its challenging legacy for the twenty-first century Church of England.
Book Synopsis Women and Militant Wars by : Swati Parashar
Download or read book Women and Militant Wars written by Swati Parashar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores women’s militant activities in insurgent wars and seeks to understand what women ‘do’ in wars. In International Relations, inter-state conflict, anti-state armed insurgency and armed militancy are essentially seen as wars where collective violence (against civilians and security forces) is used to achieve political objectives. Extending the notion of war as ‘politics of injury' to the armed militancy in Indian administered Kashmir and the Tamil armed insurgency in Sri Lanka, this book explores how women participate in militant wars, and how that politics not only shapes the gendered understandings of women’s identities and bodies but is in turn shaped by them. The case studies discussed in the book offer new comparative insight into two different and most prevalent forms of insurgent wars today: religio-political and ethno-nationalist. Empirical analyses of women’s roles in the Sri Lankan Tamil militant group, the LTTE and the logistical, ideological support women provide to militant groups active in Indian administered Kashmir suggest that these insurgent wars have their own gender dynamics in recruitment and operational strategies. Thus, Women and Militant Wars provides an excellent insight into the gender politics of these insurgencies and women’s roles and experiences within them. This book will be of much interest to students and scholars of critical war and security studies, feminist international relations, gender studies, terrorism and political violence, South Asia studies and IR in general.

Book Synopsis Tradition and Apocalypse by : David Bentley Hart
Download or read book Tradition and Apocalypse written by David Bentley Hart and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the two thousand years that have elapsed since the time of Christ, Christians have been as much divided by their faith as united, as much at odds as in communion. And the contents of Christian confession have developed with astonishing energy. How can believers claim a faith that has been passed down through the ages while recognizing the real historical contingencies that have shaped both their doctrines and their divisions? In this carefully argued essay, David Bentley Hart critiques the concept of "tradition" that has become dominant in Christian thought as fundamentally incoherent. He puts forth a convincing new explanation of Christian tradition, one that is obedient to the nature of Christianity not only as a "revealed" creed embodied in historical events but as the "apocalyptic" revelation of a history that is largely identical with the eternal truth it supposedly discloses. Hart shows that Christian tradition is sustained not simply by its preservation of the past, but more essentially by its anticipation of the future. He offers a compelling portrayal of a living tradition held together by apocalyptic expectation--the promised transformation of all things in God.

Book Synopsis Being and Action Coram Deo by : Koert Verhagen
Download or read book Being and Action Coram Deo written by Koert Verhagen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Koert Verhagen not only provides the first in-depth treatment of how the doctrine of justification crucially frames Bonhoeffer's approach to questions surrounding human being and action, he also addresses the ethical implications of retrieving this perspective for the Church today. Drawing on his early academic theology and his later ethics of discipleship, Verhagen argues that Bonhoeffer's emphasis on the social implications of justification leads to an understanding of human existence that is fundamentally relational. Along the way, he draws Bonhoeffer's thinking on this front into conversation with Luther, German idealism, the Nazi Weltanschauung, and contemporary Pauline scholarship. With an eye to the contemporary, practical value of Bonhoeffer's theology, Verhagen concludes by making the case that the retrieval of justification's social implications provides a critical corrective to ecclesial responses to white supremacy.
Book Synopsis Queen of Militants by : Emil Neubert
Download or read book Queen of Militants written by Emil Neubert and published by . This book was released on 2019-07 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the forward to his book, Queen of Militants, Father Neubert describes this drama between the forces of heaven and the forces of hell as they work through the machinations of those persons caught in their grip. He writes to the Church Militant, those of us on earth who belong to Christ:Your task may appear desperately difficult. Your enemies are more numerous than you; they have at their command inexhaustible resources; they are organized with a cleverness that one is almost tempted to call satanic.It is of prime importance, then, that you do not "beat the air," that your every step and your every move contribute to victory. And it is necessary that this victory be as complete as possible, for it concerns the cause of Christ and of His Church; it involves the temporal and eternal welfare of numberless souls.So, how can this battle be waged, and how can the militant organize his steps so that each contributes to victory? Father Neubert gives the answer. He gives us a playbook, a strategy to follow, which has everything to do with the Queen of Militants, the Blessed Virgin Mary. As a teacher guides a student through a process of development and discovery, so too, does Father Neubert lead his reader to the key principles of heaven's strategy to win the war through Mary's maternal beatitude and intercession. He instructs us in the life of a militant, how Mary forms and develops the militant for the struggle, of what the combat consists, and finally the prayers and devotional practices that are the fuel for victory. Gems of spiritual insight and wisdom follow one after the other in a path that leads to triumph.While the historic context of Queen of Militants is particular to the tensions and struggles of the mid 20th Century, the content of the book is as relevant today as it was then.

Book Synopsis You Shall Not Condemn by : Jennifer M. McBride
Download or read book You Shall Not Condemn written by Jennifer M. McBride and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-06-13 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of Kelly Gissendaner, the only woman on Georgia's death row until her execution in 2015, and highlights the role theological studies played in her faith and in advocacy efforts on her behalf. Central to the book is the written correspondence between Kelly and German theologian Jurgen Moltmann, known internationally as the "theologian of hope." After reading Moltmann's work in a course taught by McBride at the prison, Kelly began a five-year correspondence with him. When Kelly was denied clemency, a local and international advocacy movement arose that was rooted in her theological studies and friendship with him. The advocacy campaign challenged Christians who supported the death penalty to re-examine basic truths of Christian faith. As it was unfolding, the story of Kelly's transformation changed people's minds, not only about her case, but also about the death penalty itself. Weaving together powerful storytelling and theological expertise, McBride recounts that story again here, with an aim toward abolition, and offers practical ways that readers may enter the work.
