Book Synopsis The Go-Between by : Osman Yousefzada
Download or read book The Go-Between written by Osman Yousefzada and published by Canongate Books. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE BIOGRAPHERS' CLUB SLIGHTLY FOXED BEST FIRST BIOGRAPHY PRIZE 'Full of love, wisdom and yearning' Kit de Waal A coming-of-age story set in Birmingham in the 1980s and 1990s, The Go-Between opens a window into a closed migrant community living in a red-light district on the wrong side of the tracks. The adult world is seen through Osman's eyes as a child: his own devout migrant Muslim patriarchal community, with its divide between the world of men and women, living cheek-by-jowl with parallel migrant communities. Alternative masculinities compete with strict gender roles, and female erasure and honour-based violence are committed, even as empowering female friendships prevail. The stories Osman tells, some fantastical and humorous, others melancholy and even harrowing, take us from the Birmingham of Osman's childhood to the banks of the river Kabul and the river Indus, and, eventually, to the London of his teenage years. Osman weaves in and out of these worlds, struggling with the dual burdens of racism and community expectations, as he is forced to realise it is no longer possible to exist in the spaces in between.

This is the magical, mythical tale of a poor village at the foot of a hill--a topsy-turvy town with no roads and no windows, where the people sneeze through tall tangled weeds and trip over rocks as big as watermelons. Surely God would help them, they decide ... but how can God be found, and where should they look? They soon find that the answer is much nearer than they thought. This story teaches that God can be found where we are: within all of us and the relationships between us.

Book Synopsis The Metamorphosis of Tianxian pei by : Wilt L Idema
Download or read book The Metamorphosis of Tianxian pei written by Wilt L Idema and published by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the most extensive social and cultural history of twentiethcentury Huangmei Opera to date. A regional Chinese theater originating in the Anqing countryside, Huangmei Opera gained popularity with the success of the 1950s play and movie, Tianxian pei 天仙配 (Married to a Heavenly Immortal). Through a case study of this work, the author juxtaposes the complex process of rewriting and revising the play and movie against the rapidly changing cultural and ideological climate of the Communist theater reform movement. As a result, the traditional theme of filial piety becomes a struggle over class and free love. This volume features a full translation of the original play and its revision in the 1950s, as well as selected articles by scriptwriters, directors, performers, and critics. These primary sources allow readers to gain access to inside views of the contemporaries and their political and artistic concerns. "Wilt Idema is one of the most important scholars in Chinese literary and cultural studies. Few in the academia can emulate him in both the spectrum of specializations and the depth of scholarship. From Yuan drama to Ming fiction, and traditional folk culture to modern performing arts, Idema’s work demonstrates a Sinologist's dedication, erudition, and originality at its best. Tianxian pei is arguably the most popular play in midtwentieth century China. In his book, Idema discusses the play’s roots and ramifications, its incarnations in multiple genes and medial forms, and its significance in modern Chinese cultural politics. His critical insight is illuminating and his translational expertise impeccable. The Metamorphosis of Tianxian pei is a major contribution to the studies of Chinese folklore, literature, theatre, and media." by David Derwei Wang, Harvard University
Book Synopsis The Holy Spirit -- In Biblical Teaching, Through the Centuries, and Today by : Anthony C. Thiselton

This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is divided into three parts. Part One provides a thematic analysis and exegetical commentary on all the relevant biblical and cognate literature, including Josephus, Philo and the Mishnah. Part Two investigates the thinking of key Christian theologians on the Holy Spirit, from the Apostolic Fathers to eighteenth century authors such as John Wesley and Jonathan Edwards. Part Three examines more recent writings on the Spirit, from the nineteenth century onwards, including major systematic theologians such as Schleiermacher, Barth and Moltmann, as well as biblical scholars such as James D G Dunn, Gordon Fee and Gerd Theissen. Thiselton concludes the entire study by identifying seven fundamental themes, and calling for greater dialogue between mainstream scholarship and contemporary leaders of the Pentecostal and Renewal movements.

Book Synopsis The Church Mission Society by : Brian Stanley
Download or read book The Church Mission Society written by Brian Stanley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Church Missionary Society (now renamed the Church Mission Society) has been for most of its 200-year history the largest and most influential of the British Protestant missionary agencies. Its bicentenary in 1999 is being marked by the publication of this collection of historical and theological essays by an international team of scholars, including Lamin Sanneh, Kenneth Cragg, and Geoffrey A. Oddie. The volume contains re-assessments of the classic centenary history of the CMS by Eugene Stock and of the strategic vision of Henry Venn, one of the two architects of the Three-Self theory of the indigenous church. There are chapters on the close links between the CMS and the Basel Mission, women missionaries, and regional studies of Samuel Crowther and the Niger mission, Iran, the Middle East, New Zealand, India, and Kikuyu Christianity. The volume makes a major contribution to the growing body of literature on the indigenization of missionary traditions, and will be of interest to historians of the missionary movement and non-western Christianity, as well as theologians concerned with religious pluralism, dialogue, and Christian mission.
Book Synopsis God's Wider Presence by : Robert K. Johnston
Download or read book God's Wider Presence written by Robert K. Johnston and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are we to make of those occasional yet illuminating experiences of God's presence that occur outside both church and Scripture? We may encounter God's revelatory presence as we experience a beautiful sunset, the birth of a child, or a work of art, music, or literature. While theologians have tended to describe such experiences abstractly as mere traces or echoes, those involved often recognize such moments of transcendence as transformative. Here senior theologian Robert Johnston explores how Christians should think theologically about God's wider revelatory presence that is mediated outside the church through creation, conscience, and culture. The book offers a robust, constructive biblical theology of general revelation, rooting its insights in the broader Trinitarian work of the Spirit. Drawing in part from the author's theological engagement with film and the arts, the book helps Christians understand personal moments of experiencing God's transcendence and accounts for revelatory experiences of those outside the believing community. It also shows how God's revelatory presence can impact our interaction with nonbelievers and those of other faiths.
Book Synopsis Living His Story Together by : Hannah Steele
Download or read book Living His Story Together written by Hannah Steele and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2024-06-20 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Profound, learned, informed, committed, invested and hope-filled . . . a book to renew and revive us.' ARCHBISHOP JUSTIN WELBY In Living His Story (2020), Hannah Steele wrote 'with an infectious understanding of her subject' (Mark Oakley, Church Times). Now, in Living His Story Together, she turns her attention to mission and evangelism that is not only for individuals but for the whole local church. Offering an inspiring mandate for the church to see itself as a missionary community, Hannah considers the practical outworkings of that identity through engaging with scripture and current theological thinking, and sharing real-life stories from churches on the front line. Living His Story Together isn't an argument for a particular model of church (plant or parish, for example) but an exciting exploration of what can happen when two or three of God's missionary disciples are gathered together, empowered by the Spirit and seeking to be good news in the world today. It covers contemporary missional themes, such as hospitality, cultural engagement, presence, diversity and spoken witness, and offers practical principles - vividly enlivened by relating the imaginative and disarming ways in which ordinary churches and individuals are sharing the gospel - to help us embrace the great privilege to which we have been called.
