Book Synopsis Disasters: Core Concepts and Ethical Theories by : Dónal P. O’Mathúna
Download or read book Disasters: Core Concepts and Ethical Theories written by Dónal P. O’Mathúna and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access Book is the first to examine disasters from a multidisciplinary perspective. Justification of actions in the face of disasters requires recourse both to conceptual analysis and ethical traditions. Part 1 of the book contains chapters on how disasters are conceptualized in different academic disciplines relevant to disasters. Part 2 has chapters on how ethical issues that arise in relation to disasters can be addressed from a number of fundamental normative approaches in moral and political philosophy. This book sets the stage for more focused normative debates given that no one book can be completely comprehensive. Providing analysis of core concepts, and with real-world relevance, this book should be of interest to disaster scholars and researchers, those working in ethics and political philosophy, as well as policy makers, humanitarian actors and intergovernmental organizations..

Book Synopsis A Christian Theology of Suffering in the Context of Theravada Buddhism in Thailand by : Satanun Boonyakiat
Download or read book A Christian Theology of Suffering in the Context of Theravada Buddhism in Thailand written by Satanun Boonyakiat and published by Langham Monographs. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Satanun Boonyakiat elucidates a Christian theology of suffering relevant to the context of Theravada Buddhism in Thailand. Grounding his work in a trinitarian comparative theology of religions, Boonyakiat explores the ways in which Buddhist teachings on suffering – specifically the Four Noble Truths – can challenge, enrich, and deepen a Christian perspective. Ultimately, Dr Boonyakiat suggests, a Christian theology of suffering relevant to the people of Thailand, both Christian and Buddhist alike, must move beyond a traditional, western emphasis on theodicy to address a practical response to suffering’s lived reality – a response rooted firmly in Scripture and grounded in a theology of the cross.
Book Synopsis Prayer, providence and empire by : Joseph Hardwick
Download or read book Prayer, providence and empire written by Joseph Hardwick and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European settlers in Canada, Australia and South Africa said they were building ‘better Britains’ overseas. But their new societies were frequently threatened by devastating wars, rebellions, epidemics and natural disasters. It is striking that settlers turned to old traditions of collective prayer and worship to make sense of these calamities. At times of trauma, colonial governments set aside whole days for prayer so that entire populations could join together to implore God’s intervention, assistance or guidance. And at moments of celebration, such as the coming of peace, everyone in the empire might participate in synchronized acts of thanksgiving. Prayer, providence and empire asks why occasions with origins in the sixteenth century became numerous in the democratic, pluralistic and secularised conditions of the ‘British world’.
Book Synopsis Worship, Warfare and Intercession by : Robert Misst
Download or read book Worship, Warfare and Intercession written by Robert Misst and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Worship, Warfare and Intercession before the Throne of God" was born from the foundry of over twenty-three years ministry of prophetic intercession for the nations. Bob travelled with prophetic intercessors to China and Japan in the Far East, and to many nations on the continents of Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, the Americas, Canada and Australasia. In 2010, in a vision, Bob was caught up into heaven, where the Lord gave him a glimpse of the worship, warfare and intercession before the throne of God. Later, God told him to write the book. "Worship, Warfare and Intercession before the Throne of God" is that book. This book teaches us how we can pattern our worship according to the worship in heaven. It calls us to join with heaven, in intercession and warfare, for the return of the Lord and the setting up of His kingdom on the earth. Events are unfolding at a rapid speed, and the church, the true bride, must get herself ready. Heaven waits to hear her voice, as one sound with heaven. This book has two parts. Part I describes the worship that Bob experienced in heaven. Bob teaches about the seven aspects of worship in heaven, and how they are key ingredients for our worship in the last days on the earth. He has teamed with Jill Shannon (see www.coffeetalkswithmessiah.com) who produced a worship CD which puts the teachings into a practical manner. This CD is really awesome. Part II of the book is about intercession in heaven. As each seal of the scroll is broken in heaven by the Lamb, the book explodes with the reality of the intercessions in the book of Revelation. These intercessions born out of worship, move events towards a definite purpose: The restoration and renewal of the earth for the return of King Jesus. Heaven invites earth to join in this ONE SOUND of worship, warfare and intercession. The final chapter of the book offers practical suggestions how to use the book and CD for worship and intercession for small groups and larger groups.
Book Synopsis The Things that Make for Peace by : Jesse P. Nickel
Download or read book The Things that Make for Peace written by Jesse P. Nickel and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers fresh insight into the place of (non)violence within Jesus' ministry, by examining it in the context of the eschatologically-motivated revolutionary violence of Second Temple Judaism. The book first explores the connection between violence and eschatology in key literary and historical sources from Second Temple Judaism. The heart of the study then focuses on demonstrating the thematic centrality of Jesus’ opposition to such “eschatological violence” within the Synoptic presentations of his ministry, arguing that a proper understanding of eschatology and violence together enables appreciation of the full significance of Jesus’ consistent disassociation of revolutionary violence from his words and deeds. The book thus articulates an understanding of Jesus’ nonviolence that is firmly rooted in the historical context of Second Temple Judaism, presenting a challenge to the "seditious Jesus hypothesis"—the claim that the historical Jesus was sympathetic to revolutionary ideals. Jesus’ rejection of violence ought to be understood as an integral component of his eschatological vision, embodying and enacting his understanding of (i) how God’s kingdom would come, and (ii) what would identify those who belonged to it.
Book Synopsis Anti-Judaism in Early Christianity: Paul and the Gospels by : Peter Richardson
Download or read book Anti-Judaism in Early Christianity: Paul and the Gospels written by Peter Richardson and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 1986-04-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period since the close of World War II has been agonizingly introspective—not least because of the pain of reassessing Christianity’s attitude to Judaism. The early Christian materials have often been examined to assess their role in the long-standing negative attitude of Christians to Jews. The motivation for the early church’s sometimes harsh attitude was partly theological—it needed to define itself over against its parent—and partly sociological—it needed to make clear the line that divided the fledgling group of Christian believers fromt he group with which it was most likely to be confused. This collection of studies emphasizes the context and history of early Christianity in reconsidering many of the classic passages that have contributed to the development of anti-Judaism in Christianity. The volume opens with an essay that clearly delineates the state of the question of anti-Judaism in early Christianity. Then follow discussions of specific passages in the writings of Paul as well as the Gospels.

Book Synopsis Joel’s Use of Scripture and the Scripture’s Use of Joel by : John Strazicich
Download or read book Joel’s Use of Scripture and the Scripture’s Use of Joel written by John Strazicich and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-04-30 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The methodological approach employed in this research utilizes the hermeneutics of comparative midrash combined with aspects of Bakhtinian dialogism and intertextuality. The purpose of this enterprise is to discern the function of scripture in Joel and its New Testament Nachleben. The terms 'appropriation' and 'resignification' are descriptive of the process through which an antecedent text is transformed by its displacement, condensation, and recontextualization. These methodologies assist in giving an account of the intertextual dialogism involved in a text’s unrecorded hermeneutics. The scope of the work looks at the use of scriptural traditions within the book of Joel during the Second Temple period. There is an introduction to the hermeneutical methods employed, followed by a general introduction to the book of Joel in chapter one. Chapters two and three concern the function of scripture in Joel. Finally, the last chapter deals with Joel’s New Testament Nachleben. Each chapter has an introduction and conclusion. This work does not eschew the importance of diachronic issues. The diachronic method pays attention to the context of an antecedent’s voice, while the synchronic methodological approach pays attention to the function and purpose in which the receptor text resignifies the appropriated motifs and allusions. The diachronic becomes fused with the synchronic in the process of an allusion’s recontextualization. This study, in a heuristic manner, focuses on the way that each allusion is appropriated and resignified for the needs of both Joel’s community and those of the later NT, in order to understand the function of canonical hermeneutics.

Download or read book The Bible as Rhetoric written by M Warner and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1990, The Bible as Rhetoric explores the ways in which the persuasive strategies employed in the biblical texts relate (both positively and negatively) to their preoccupations with religious and historical truth. The book contains pioneering interdisciplinary papers that clarify what is at issue in the apparently competing claims that the Bible should be read ‘as literature’ and ‘as scripture’. Uniquely, the volume brings together philosophers, literary critics, biblical scholars, theologians, and historians of ideas who combine the best biblical and historical scholarship with a range of contemporary approaches to the study of texts, from the deconstructive and the feminist through the Wittgensteinian to those of the heirs of the tradition of practical criticism. The volume is of importance both to those interested in the applications of contemporary literary theory and to all those concerned with the relation between religious and secular readings of the Bible.

Download or read book A Severe Mercy written by Mark J. Boda and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2009-06-23 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biblical-theological approach Boda takes in this work is canonical-thematic, tracing the presentation of the theology of sin and its remedy in the canonical form and shape of the Old Testament. The hermeneutical foundations for this enterprise have been laid by others in past decades, especially by Brevard Childs in his groundbreaking work. But A Severe Mercy also reflects recent approaches to integrating biblical understanding with other methodologies in addition to Childs’s. Thus, it enters the imaginative space of the ancient canon of the Old Testament in order to highlight the “word views” and “literary shapes” of the “texts taken individually and as a whole collection.” For the literary shape of the individual texts, it places the “word views” of the dominant expressions and images, as well as various passages, in the larger context of the biblical books in which they are found. For the literary shape of the texts as a collection, it identifies key subthemes and traces their development through the Old Testament canon. The breadth of Boda’s study is both challenging and courageous, resulting in the first comprehensive examination of the topic in the 21st century.
