Book Synopsis Imperceptible Reality by : Connie Bertelsen Young
Download or read book Imperceptible Reality written by Connie Bertelsen Young and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, IMPERCEPTIBLE REALITY – A Longing for Spiritual Vision, is an adult Bible study that is meant to draw attention to the incredibly broad subject of who God is, our relationship to Him, and what He has created, particularly that which we can’t see with our physical eyes. “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18 NIV). Since Adam and Eve, we have been ever learning and discovering more about life, and though our knowledge may seem extensive, it remains slight as we try to understand this universe, the scope of all living things, and the boundlessness of eternity. “Even Solomon, one of the wisest men who ever lived, indicated that “No one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV) Although we can’t see everything, The truth which we are given in the Bible will help free us from blindness, deception and ignorance. In IMPERCEPTIBLE REALITY, A Longing for Spiritual Vision, there is emphasis on our great need for faith, growth, and awareness of the mysterious and magnificent immensity of God and our response to Him.
Book Synopsis How I Became One of the Invisible, new edition by : David Rattray
Download or read book How I Became One of the Invisible, new edition written by David Rattray and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only collection of Rattray's prose: essays that offer a kind of secret history and guidebook to a poetic and mystical tradition. In order to become one of the invisible, it is necessary to throw oneself into the arms of God... Some of us stayed for weeks, some for months, some forever. —from How I Became One of the Invisible Since its first publication in 1992, David Rattray's How I Became One of the Invisible has functioned as a kind of secret history and guidebook to a poetic and mystical tradition running through Western civilization from Pythagoras to In Nomine music to Hölderlin and Antonin Artaud. Rattray not only excavated this tradition, he embodied and lived it. He studied at Harvard and the Sorbonne but remained a poet, outside the academy. His stories “Van” and “The Angel” chronicle his travels in southern Mexico with his friend, the poet Van Buskirk, and his adventures after graduating from Dartmouth in the mid-1950s. Eclipsed by the more mediagenic Beat writers during his lifetime, Rattray has become a powerful influence on contemporary artists and writers. Living in Paris, Rattray became the first English translator of Antonin Artaud, and he understood Artaud's incisive scholarship and technological prophecies as few others would. As he writes of his translations in How I Became One of the Invisible, “You have to identify with the man or the woman. If you don't, then you shouldn't be translating it. Why would you translate something that you didn't think had an important message for other people? I translated Artaud because I wanted to turn my friends on and pass a message that had relevance to our lives. Not to get a grant, or be hired by an English department.” Compiled in the months before his untimely death at age 57, How I Became One of the Invisible is the only volume of Rattray's prose. This new edition, edited by Robert Dewhurst, includes five additional pieces, two of them previously unpublished.

Book Synopsis American Avatar by : Barry A. Sanders
Download or read book American Avatar written by Barry A. Sanders and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since September 11, 2001, the extensive literature on the United States's image abroad, by popular pundits and academics alike, leaves the reader with a false impression that foreigners' views of America are normally negative and impervious to change. In fact they are complex, emotional, frequently internally contradictory, and often change quickly. Barry A. Sanders corrects this misimpression with a rigorous and insightful textual analysis of the roots of people's views of the United States and what can be done to alter them. According to Sanders, the attitudes a person expresses about the United States consist of two separate components: the person's memory bank of images (informed by American geography, people, philosophy, history, and foreign policy) and a predisposition or bias that influences which images are called forth from memory.Opinion surveys, such as the Pew Global Attitude Survey, only record the spoken result of this twostep process in their tabulation of "favorable" or "unfavorable" comments. They necessarily fail to see the underlying complexity. Examining the biases or predispositions that guide people in selecting among the myriad stored images to express an opinion on a given day, Sanders analyzes both anti-American and pro-American biases but focuses on the former, explaining which criticisms should be heeded when crafting foreign policy and communicating national objectives to friends and foes alike.
Book Synopsis Representation and Objects of Thought in Medieval Philosophy by : Dr Henrik Lagerlund
Download or read book Representation and Objects of Thought in Medieval Philosophy written by Dr Henrik Lagerlund and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notions of mental representation and intentionality are central to contemporary philosophy of mind and it is usually assumed that these notions, if not originated, at least were made essential to the philosophy of mind by Descartes in the seventeenth century. The authors in this book challenge this assumption and show that the history of these ideas can be traced back to the medieval period. In bringing out the contrasts and similarities between early modern and medieval discussions of mental representation the authors conclude that there is no clear dividing line between western late medieval and early modern philosophy; that they in fact represent one continuous tradition in the philosophy of mind.
Book Synopsis The Invention of Journalism Ethics, Second Edition by : Stephen J.A. Ward
Download or read book The Invention of Journalism Ethics, Second Edition written by Stephen J.A. Ward and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does objectivity exist in the news media? In The Invention of Journalism Ethics, Stephen Ward argues that given the current emphasis on interpretation, analysis, and perspective, journalists and the public need a new theory of objectivity. He explores the varied ethical assertions of journalists over the past few centuries, focusing on the changing relationship between journalist and audience. This historical analysis leads to an innovative theory of pragmatic objectivity that enables journalists and the public to recognize and avoid biased and unbalanced reporting. Ward convincingly demonstrates that journalistic objectivity is not a set of absolute standards but the same fallible but reasonable objectivity used for making decisions in other professions and public institutions. Considered a classic in the field since its first publication in 2004, this second edition includes new chapters that bring the book up to speed with journalism ethics in the twenty-first century by focusing on the growing dominance of online journalism and calling for a radical approach to journalism ethics reform. Ward also addresses important developments that have occurred in the last decade, including the emergence of digital journalism ethics and global journalism ethics.

Book Synopsis Karl Barth’s Epistle to the Romans by : Christophe Chalamet
Download or read book Karl Barth’s Epistle to the Romans written by Christophe Chalamet and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl Barth’s commentary on Paul’s epistle to the Romans, in its two editions (1919 and 1922), is one of the most significant works published in Christian theology in the 20th century. This book, which landed “like a bombshell on the theologians’ playground,” still deserves close scrutiny one hundred years after its publication. In this volume, New Testament scholars, philosophers of religion and systematic theologians ponder the intricacies of Barth’s “expressionistic” commentary, pointing out the ways in which Barth interprets Paul’s epistle for his own day, how this actualized interpretation of the apostle’s message challenged the theology of Barth’s time, and how some of the insights he articulated in 1919 and in 1922 have shaped Christian theology up to our day. With his commentary, the young Swiss pastor paved the way for a renewed, intensely theological interpretation of the Scriptures. The volume thus centers of some of the key themes which run through Barth’s commentary: faith as divine gift beyond any human experience or psychological data, the Easter event as the turning point of the world’s history, God’s judgment and mercy and God’s one Word in Jesus Christ. This volume represents a major contribution to the interpretation of Karl Barth’s early thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt that the tools and techniques you mastered in preaching class are failing you?

Wondered whether you have any business in a ministry centered around preaching? If so, you are invited to eavesdrop on eight conversations between Benjamin, a priest who is considering leaving ministry because of the weight of preaching, and Sophia, a wisdom figure who helps him develop the one missing component--an overarching spirituality of preaching that offers God's healing love to a wounded and suffering world.

Book Synopsis Beyond Matter, Within Space by : Lívia Nolasco-Rózsás

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exhibition spaces are physical places of knowledge production and exchange. Their spatial properties play an important role in contextualizing information. Virtual stagings of exhibitions should therefore retain these properties. The Beyond Matter research project (2019–23) aims to unravel the intertwining of physical and virtual structures and their impact on spatial aspects in art production, curating, and art education, and thus to identify ways to preserve cultural heritage in the digital age. This publication offers a comprehensive overview of the diverse research activities, exhibition and book projects, and symposia that have taken place or emerged in the course of the international Beyond Matter project at the various partner institutions.

Book Synopsis Hunters, Gatherers, and Practitioners of Powerlessness by : Tomasz Rakowski
Download or read book Hunters, Gatherers, and Practitioners of Powerlessness written by Tomasz Rakowski and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The socio-economic transformations of the 1990s have forced many people in Poland into impoverishment. Hunters, Gatherers, and Practitioners of Powerlessness gives a dramatic account of life after this degradation, tracking the experiences of unemployed miners, scrap collectors, and poverty-stricken village residents. Contrary to the images of passivity, resignation, and helplessness that have become powerful tropes in Polish journalism and academic writing, Tomasz Rakowski traces the ways in which people actively reconfigure their lives. As it turns out, the initial sense of degradation and helplessness often gives way to images of resourcefulness that reveal unusual hunting-and-gathering skills.

Download or read book Sensorama written by Michael Pelczar and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Pelczar presents an original account of space, time and conscious experience. How does the modern scientific conception of time constrain the project of assigning the mind its proper place in nature? On the scientific conception, it makes no sense to speak of the duration of a pain, or the simultaneity of sensations occurring in different parts of the brain. Such considerations led Henri Poincare, one of the founders of the modern conception, to conclude that consciousness does not exist in spacetime, but serves as the basic material out of which we must create the physical world. The central claim of Sensorama is that Poincare was substantially correct. The best way to reconcile the scientific conception of time with the evidence of introspection is through a phenomenalist metaphysic according to which consciousness exists in neither time nor space, but serves as a basis for the logical construction of spacetime and its contents.
Book Synopsis Transformation and Convergence in the Frame of Knowledge by : Thomas F. Torrance
Download or read book Transformation and Convergence in the Frame of Knowledge written by Thomas F. Torrance and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 1998-04-29 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays which make up this volume arise out of the author's ongoing engagement with the tension between Christian theology and the general frame of thought that has dominated European culture for several hundred years. The early Christian Church set about not only to communicate the Gospel to the Greco-Roman world but also to transform the prevailing mode of thought and culture so that the Gospel could take deep root and develop within it. Therefore, in every age, says Thomas F. Torrance, "the Christian faith must be brought to bear transformingly upon the whole frame of human culture, science, and philosophy."

This stunning new edition, printed on fine paper, is as inspiring to behold as it is to read.
