Book Synopsis Quest for Freedom by : William E. Moore
Download or read book Quest for Freedom written by William E. Moore and published by . This book was released on 2023-12-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This shocking story of the Gillespie family and their fellow Scots-Irish to gain their freedom and liberty from the cruelties of the English Crown is chronicled from William Wallace to the American Revolutionaries. Their heritage of bravery and zeal led to the establishment of the Bill of Rights to the U. S. Constitution. The core of this riveting story is the renowned Scottish Philosophers (Luther, Calvin, Knox, Locke Gillespie, and Rutherford) and their belief in a Liberty of Consciences upon which the principles of America's Constitutional law are founded. The Gillespies ensured the survival of the Presbyterian Church through their unwavering stand against the corrupt Stuart Kings. Revengefully King James II torched, imprisoned, and killed the humble Presbyterian Covenanters. Everyone will be enlightened by the fact that the Westminster Confession of Faith which George Gillespie was instrumental in writing illuminates many ideals upon which America was founded and was a required curriculum for America's founding fathers who attended Harvard, William and Mary, Yale, and Princeton. The Catechisms were the most widely read publication in colonial America second to the Bible. Listed are suggested Constitutional amendments to control the corruption of today's Congress. Obviously, the Scots-Irish colonial pioneers of democracy, who were such visionaries and refused to ratify the Constitution due to lack of control over Congress and the President, would insist on similar controls. You'll discover from a, never before-published, Gillespie family perspective the trials and tribulations of founding the Nation's first public University, The University of North Carolina. Discussed are the Federalists' and Anti-Federalists' turmoils and the campus unrest that were ignited by the passage of the Jay Treaty.
Book Synopsis Discretion and the Quest for Controlled Freedom by : Tony Evans
Download or read book Discretion and the Quest for Controlled Freedom written by Tony Evans and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-21 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking at discretion broadly as the exercise of controlled freedom, this edited volume introduces insights from a range of social sciences perspectives. Traditionally, discussions of discretion have drawn on legal notions of the appropriate exercise of legitimate authority specified by legislators. However, empirical and theoretical studies in the social sciences have extended our understanding of discretion, moving us beyond a narrow legal view. Contributors from a range of disciplines explore the idea of discretion and related notions of freedom and control across social and political practices and in different contexts. As this complex and important topic is discussed and examined, both total control and unconstrained freedom appear to be illusions.

Book Synopsis American Politics and the African American Quest for Universal Freedom by : Hanes Walton, Jr
Download or read book American Politics and the African American Quest for Universal Freedom written by Hanes Walton, Jr and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dynamic and comprehensive text from nationally renowned scholars continues to demonstrate the profound influence African Americans have had -- and continue to have -- on American politics. Through the use of two interrelated themes -- the idea of universal freedom and the concept of minority-majority coalitions -- the text demonstrates how the presence of Africans in the United States affected the founding of the Republic and its political institutions and processes. The authors show that through the quest for their own freedom in the United States, African Americans have universalized and expanded the freedoms of all Americans. New to the Eighth Edition A new co-author, Sherri L. Wallace, is renowned for her teaching, scholarship, and participation in APSA’s American government textbook assessment for coverage of race, ethnicity, and gender. She is the perfect addition following an election year that included female presidential candidates as well as candidates of color and issues focusing on racial tension and inequality. Offers a new Media Integration Guide for the first time. Provides the first overall assessment of the Obama administration in relation to domestic and foreign policy and racial politics in particular. Updated through the 2016 elections, connecting the Obama years with the new administration. Looks at candidates Hillary Clinton and Ben Carson in particular in relation to the themes of the book. Adds a new section on State Politics and Elections. Includes new sections on intersectionality dealing with issues of race, gender and sexuality; LGBT issues as another manifestation of the struggle for universal freedom; a discussion of the "Black Lives Matter" movement; and a new section focusing on the changing character of black ethnicity as result of increased immigration from Africa and the Caribbean. Discusses the way in which race contributed to the polarization of American politics; the connections to the Tea Party; and the Obama Presidency and the 2016 presidential campaign as the most polarized since the advent of polling. Previews the impact of the Trump Administration on matters of race and ethnicity.

From many perspectives, the book's contributors address themes of freedom and slavery; self-determination and concepts of freedom; God-given and imprinted freedom; freedom as an ethos of belonging and solidarity; and relations between freedom, human rights, and theological orientation. ""Quests for Freedom is a brilliant examination of human freedom from the ancient biblical texts into our age. Written by eminent scholars from around the world, the book is helpfully divided into themes ranging from freedom and domination to the dialects of modernity. Anyone interested in the history of ideas about freedom, as well as contemporary accounts of freedom, will treasure this book."" --William Schweiker, The University of Chicago ""In this well-orchestrated and briskly-paced volume, nineteen leading theologians offer deep and diverse insights into the conditions, contexts, concepts, and categories of freedom in the Bible, and the liberating implications of these biblical teachings and practices for the ancient world and for our own. This is global interdisciplinary religious scholarship at its best."" --John Witte, Jr., Director, Center for the Study of Law and Religion, Emory University ""Quests for Freedom assembles a remarkable group of multi-disciplinary voices. The essays both enhance our understanding of freedom and challenge our deep-seated social prejudices that often deny freedom to those on the margins of society. At a moment in history when 'freedom' is increasingly abused for private and nationalistic gain, this collection stands as a reminder of our common humanity, and freedom as a public good."" --Piet Naude, Professor of Ethics, University of Stellenbosch, South Africa ""What is freedom? Quests for Freedom does not only inform on a word that was used and waved as a banner of hope, it reminds the reader of the often bitter experiences of ordinary people with forms of slavery and suppression, old and new, but most important, it explores in an interdisciplinary way the avenues in which freedom not only is a wonderful idea, but becomes reality for ordinary people. Quests for Freedom exemplifies the way contemporary theology should be done: in interdisciplinary cooperation, using the sources of the Christian tradition, critical, realistic, and hopeful."" --Cornelis van der Kooi, Professor Emeritus Systematic Theology at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Michael Welker has been a professor of theology at the Universities of Tubingen, Munster, and Heidelberg, and he has frequently been a guest professor in Britain, Canada, and the United States His many authored and edited books include God the Revealed (2014), The Depth of the Human Person (editor, 2014), and Faith in the Living God (second edition with John Polkinghorne, 2018).
Download or read book In Quest of Freedom written by and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fate of nations during war depends on how well men fight, and these stories tell us how the Indian armed forces and the Mukti Bahini fought for the cause of freedom. Paradoxically, it is the value of 'Love' that was the motivating factor in this war of liberation - love for one's country, love for ones brothers in uniform, love for the people and love for freedom; for it is on the altar of love that men and women in uniform place their lives in the line of fire and are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice, if need be, so that others may live. It is hoped that these stories inspire the youth of the country and motivate them to join the armed forces – a profession that has no equal.
